I recently purchased a subscription to Englishlads.com. I chose a recurring option that gave me access to things going back as much as 10 years. There was no longer option. That came to £46 (US$58) a month. I then found that the owner PRETENDS that he has information that I am hiding my address or using the wrong address with my credit card, and demands a copy of my passport and a photo of a recent bill to my address. Apparently he does this to all subscribers, and so he has no such information at all, but just wants to collect evidence of addresses as part of his DCMA protection. I don't think this is legal, not least because he says the T&Cs allow him to do this if he thinks you're hiding your real identity or address - but he has no evidence that any such thing is happening. As I had already paid £46 I sent the photos asked for, but decided to cancel the rebill and give this man no more money.
The £46 does not cover access to anything before 2014 - and as I like the men with a full natural bush, this means that most of those were not covered by the subscription. To view the older content would require paying an additional £4-£8 per video. Of course, I am going to give this man no more money.
I watched around 50 videos. All of the rest were either too trimmed or shaved or men covered in tattoos or videos more than 10 years old. So although there are about 800 models on the site, there aren't 800 good videos for the subscription price.
The categorisation of models as natural bush or trimmed is messed up. Many of those listed as having a natural bush are trimmed or shaved, and some of those listed as trimmed actually have a natural bush or nearly so. So you have to look in both the natural and trimmed categories.
Apart from the shaving and tattoos, the models are mainly good-looking. The camera angles are bad. Normally the cumshots are not zoomed in on and you can't see the actual moment of ejaculation. Any fucking in videos is clumsily done by models who are mainly straight and don't know how to do it well. It is not like the smooth implementation of anal sex by the BelAmi studio, for example. There are almost no models where anyone kisses. All the fucking is with condoms, which is rubbish. The videos listed as blowjobs are actually a bit of sucking, followed by a wank to finish. They don't, for example, suck them to the point of ejaculation or cum in each other's mouths. As far as I'm concerned that is not a blowjob.
There a few very good-looking models, out of the ordinary run of fit men, and these include Ben Thompson, the blond straight guy who lets his friend Jaden Hicks fuck him. Dan Broughton, a former Mr Gay UK, also appears in many videos and is one of the best there. In terms of perfect looks and natural bush: Tristan Thompson and Danny Davis deserve honourable mentions. Otherwise, the models are mainly muscly gym bros with shaven pubes and disgusting tattoos.
The videos are often of about 10 mins sex in a 40 minute video with the middle-aged cameraman filling the time by "dirty talk" with the models in a way that creeps the boys out very often. I didn't really want any focus at all on the cameraman's lame conversation with the boys.
This is ultimately a very disappointing site. I would encourage anyone not to subscribe to Englishlads and to give it a wide berth.
Another thing: he claims to invisibly watermark videos so that they can't be shared. As NO DOWNLOADS AT ALL are possible, you can only stream. Of course, streams can be captured, but the no downloads policy limits use of the site, as you could only ever capture stuff you were sitting right in front of for hours on end. And as the site is streaming only, most of the videos do start buffering half-way through.... I don't know if there really are watermarks even in streamed content - I suppose it is possible, but maybe the warning about watermarks dates back to the time when downloads were possible. As you can see, the site is run in a ridiculous fashion that attempts not really to provide what has been agreed. AVOID.
