BG Review
BananaGuide in no way endorses fucking without a condom. Please play safe! Our views on safer sex in
porn.
Dink Flamingo culls the army bases of the deep South to bring you a load of young, sexy, young good
ole' boys. With their muscular builds, fresh tats, and sultry Southern drawls, these friendly guys
show up hot and horny in
Active Duty's huge archive of live
shows (some of which suffer from video
stream quality issues.) When additional full-length DVD
quality movies are added to the mix,
Active Duty is a potent source of
raunchy, unscripted (and often uprotected) porn.
Tour
The Active Duty website is somewhat confusing as it lumps together an online DVD store and a
pay-per-view theater along with the tour for the membership site. The five page tour accurately
describes the content inside the site: thousands of images in more than 400 galleries, the seven
full-length movies available at any one time, the archived live shows, and the hundreds of 3 minute
video clips (which are really just movie trailers.) Dink could be a lot more generous with sample
images and video clips, or even better, offer a
mirror-type tour.
Navigation
Navigation of
Active Duty is easily
achieved by clicking on any of the six main content buttons across the top of the main page. The
"Dink's Diary" section of the site is named for it's flamboyant founder, who keeps us up to date on
the cummings and goings (and by this we mean Iraq and back) of his loose posse of rough n' ready
young ex-marines and roustabouts.
Content
The models on "Active Duty" are all in the 19-25 age range, and we have the American military to
thank for their boot camp built muscles and horny antics. These guys have seen war, and have been in
situations that would set most of us to trembling in fear. No wonder they want to let off serious
steam!
The solo, duo, and group action takes place primarily in Dink Flamingo's home-based studio, and for
the live shows, in each military stud's home. Included is solo wanking, sucking, rimming, fucking
(sometimes without condoms) and the use of a few toys.
Dink uses his "Diary" to tell many amusing stories about his own history and about the lives of
these often ridiculously hot and big-dicked boys. Especially during the hour-long live shows the
guys come alive for us with all their rough sweetness. Some of them have climbed straight out of
combat gear and into bed for some patriotic suckin' and fuckin'.
The primary source of content for members is the
7 full-length Dink Flamingo "Videos of the
Week"; these rotate weekly so in a month you'll get
28 Active Duty videos. But the other big
attraction is the massive archive of almost
450 live shows, shot in the guy's own home with
an online audience of drooling admirers. The boys talk to the online audience throughout these four
weekly shows.
Most of the video is in
Windows Media format and is available for streaming only; the site uses
strict
DRM licensing so none of the video can be downloaded for later viewing. The video streams at
800
kbps, playing in a good-sized 600X425 window.
The seven rotating DVD videos are professionally shot and feature excellent clarity, lighting and
sound and lots of good camera angles.
The archive of live streaming shows, on the other hand, varies greatly in video quality and has a
lack of camera angles and shots. The army boys operate the live cam, put on a sex show, and talk to
the real-time viewer, including you if you tune in at the scheduled time. There are a huge number of
these episodes, each with its own dynamic. That said, "Dink" could do better in ensuring equipment
quality and optimum positioning of these hotties.
Active Duty also provides more than
400 galleries of high quality vidcap images. The galleries average 70 pics each, with an image size
of 480x360 pixels. There are no zip files or slideshows available.
Active Duty also gives you a small
bonus in the form of 17
plug-in video streams such as "Well Hung", "Twink Time", and "Meat Police".
Summing Up
Dink Flamingo's
Active Duty has
squatted itself down in what is probably the world's largest and sexiest pool of potential amateur
porn stars. These army boys love showing off their lean, toned bodies and fat cocks. "Dink" works
them along the path from solo sessions, to hot duos, and some all-out group action. They seem at
ease, with the confidence that only the military can instill, and we get to have a voyeuristic look
at guys who probably go home to the girlfriend and the rotweiller. This is genuine hot stuff.
