Bel Ami Online Review
Tuesday, January 31st, 2006
Bel Ami, under the direction of George Duroy, has maintained its reputation as one of the gay porn leaders in Europe for over 12 years. The models and scenery have consistently produced quality videos and photography unsurpassed by other studios. My favorite set of videos consisted of the Personal Trainer series where instructions from the photographer to models were spoken in Czech. I enjoyed listening to the conversation and watching the interaction so much that I contemplated attending a Berlitz class to understand the Czech language. From superstars Lukas Ridgeston and Johan Paulik to current young models with their big uncut cocks, Bel Ami has served the needs of its audience with a format where boys had loads of fun (and I do mean loads of fun and cum) playing with each other.
Now, Bel Ami has entered into the online world. In my opinion, its arrival has been very disappointing. The home page looks like an advertisement for a rainbow flag with its multitude of colors. Where to begin??? The membership link was buried in the lower left corner under the title of “Log-out From Club”. What does that mean? There were so many choices of memberships from Gold to Silver to Bronze that the page reminded me of an Olympics’ event. In order to look at a free preview, I needed to obtain a license before I could watch it. I wonder how many attorneys were involved in designing Bel Ami Online. It’s probably way too many.
I’ll stick with Bel Ami’s DVDs and forget about their website. It’s not worth the hassle to navigate their complicated web pages.
