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.
