Site Reviews

"Self made porn ... is the future of gay sex entertainment." These are the bold words at the start of the You Love Jack tour. The results of this experiment that puts the camera in the hands of the site's young models are mixed -- but intriguing. With about 50 videos and good technical quality it's worth your $19.95 per month.


The You Love Jack tour is very straightforward -- except it's not called a tour. The visitor's home page displays a featured video and a prominent button inviting you to "Preview All Videos". Click on this button and you'll go to the video index where each session page will give you a written description and four sample pics. If you like what you see just click to the "Join" page.


Navigation through this small site is totally simple. From the Home page click on "View All Videos" for the complete session index or click on "You Love More" for the bonus content.


The models on You Love Jack land solidly in the 19-25 year old group. These attractive guys are mostly not milky twinks but young men with a bit of body hair -- and some very ample sized dicks. There is a bit of bio information for each model, along with a description of the session. Action includes solo wanking, kissing, sucking, fucking, and toys.

At review time there were almost 50 videos averaging 13 minutes in length. There is one full update per week.
Video is in rather unusual formats: Flash and MP4. The Flash video streams in an embedded 300x225 pixel window. The MP4 (Quicktime)video downloads in two speeds, with the largest vids playing in a 500x380 pixel window. There's no DRM on the videos.

These days we rarely have issues with a site's design or its navigation. Webmasters are getting these things right most of the time and problems are less frequent.

Standards of video quality however, are constantly evolving. You Love Jack, with its self-made porn approach is a challenge for us in this respect. Now these are not amateur "shakey-cam" movies. They're quite well lit and have had some professional editing.

But a young model with a boner and a camera does not necessarily make a good video. Yes there's the realistic feel to it, but in these videos the camera sometimes sits in one place at one angle for too long. There is a general lack of close-ups and camera angles because there's nobody moving the camera around. And the model frequently gets distracted by fiddling with the camera. That being said, some people will get off on just these qualities.

The site has close to 50 video capture galleries housing nearly 4000 good quality 380x260 pixel images. The galleries could be edited down a bit -- there is some repetition of images that look very similar.

The bonus content offered at You Love Jack is standard fare, with a mixture of live cam shows, non-exclusive video streams and online magazines. This material adds a bit of extra value to the site once you've burned through the original content.


You Love Jack has some real strengths and scores well due to its design, technical solidness, and cute, well-endowed models. Some may like the idea that the model shoots the video, though in our humble opinion -- when it comes to achieving a really hot outcome there's no substitute for an experienced videographer and great editing. But if the thought of some hot amateur grabbing a cam and making a porn movie of himself is a turn on, You Love Jack is a must see.
