When you’ve been doing what I have for long enough, you reach a point where regular porn just doesn’t even register anymore, and the simple joys of boy-on-boy action don’t scratch that itch like they used to years ago. But my cock revs up as soon as you sprinkle a little something extra into the mix: A chain here, some cuffs there, maybe a board or a spread bar; just some dirty little tricks to get the old blood pumping again and remind me that fucking can easily become a whole lot more interesting. Nothing brings me out of a slump like some juicy gay bondage, and it’s been a while, so it’s time to leather up and go hunting for some fresh new deposits into the ol’ spank bank.
But that’s easier said than done, because the internet is a big place, and most of it is porn. When you’re interested in something niche, you have to put in more work before you can find the hot shit that’s actually worth the effort of getting an erection over. And if you turn to bigger sites, the stuff you want can easily get drowned out by the truckloads of boring stuff that you don’t care about. Your solution, my desperate friend, is to look at niche sites; but more importantly, it’s to read reviews from wiser, more experienced jerkoffs (that’s me) to help you track down the good ones so you don’t waste your precious time and energy on it. With that in mind, let’s see whether Machotube.tv lives up to that standard, or if it’s just another nothingburger page with a catchy name.
By men, for men, inside other men
Machotube immediately raised my hopes as soon as I first visited it, because it’s a website that only hosts gay dude porn. That’s right, Sherlock, you guessed it just from reading the name; pat yourself on the back. This is a good sign, though, because being dedicated to a specific kind of content means that you don’t have to worry about your dick-warming session getting messed up by an unexpected thumbnail or a misleading title. I’ve had enough incidents of blindly clicking on a video called something like “Alex fingers Raven’s ass”, only to discover that neither Alex nor Raven has a cock.
The better news is that the gay bondage is right there, ready for you to dive right in. You can immediately see that there’s a ton of variety in material here: from skinny boys testing out their love machines, to brawny boys taking turns on their buddy in the rack, there’s gotta be something here to catch your interest. It’s impossible to find a page that doesn’t have some combination of restrained blowjobs, chained anal treatments, and some messy toy play for the freaks among us.
The site is unfortunately too macho to tell me how many videos there actually are, but my guesstimate is that it’s a respectable size, with a few thousand videos to enjoy, and with another dozen getting added each day. Machotube clearly prefers man-quality over man-quantity, though, and you can really see that in the content: every single video on here has something crazy going on in it. Even the “simple” ones are in zany locations, like in a castle dungeon or on top of a billboard; and from there we go into that good weird shit, like British punks tying you to a public toilet before jacking you off, or even the more extreme stuff like roleplaying kidnapping or fire play. It’s rare to find a site where the vanilla stuff is rarer than the more intense, and it warms my dead, frozen heart.
If you like grand, epic narratives in your filthy gay bondage porn, then you’ll have plenty of HBO-tier dramas to tune into as well. I have never seen so many multi-part videos on a single website, many of which have six or more episodes. Gay of Thrones, indeed! But don’t worry if you’re not able to commit the time and energy to sit down to an assfucking prestige series – there’s still more than enough single-session jackoff vids for those of us who don’t have several hours to commit to a single nut.
A Tube Full of Macho Men… And Nothing Else
The site has a ton of variety, and looking over it you might get the impression that it’s a non-stop buffet of man-meat in every form you can imagine. But I’ve noticed one rule, and it might just be a deal-breaker for a lot of you: I’ve seen maybe four dudes on this entire website that weren’t muscular, well-shaven hunks. It’s actually a challenge to find a video where the stars aren’t muscular, well-toned, or at the very least, thin and taking good care of themselves. Even the couple of pre-op FTM guys I’ve found on here could still kick my ass up and down the street, with their hands tied behind their backs (and I’d enjoy it, too).
And don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any problems with the boys on Machotube being extra swole. I wouldn’t want to live in a world where I couldn’t easily find a muscular boy being abused by an equally muscular colleague in a sex swing. But I also know that some people like their gay bondage to have some more “regular” guys, maybe some flab, or a bit more body hair; or at the very least, a damn beard. The only beard I’ve seen on this entire website is on the website’s mascot, who looks like he’d be more at home on a barbershop sign than hanging out in the upper left, quietly judging what you’ve just typed into the search bar.
It’s not a body image thing, kids, it’s just a variety thing. I love to see some good hunks, but I can only see so many in a row before my vision starts to blur (and not because my last load hit me in the eye). A long stream of perfectly shaped demigods sounds great, but so does a hose that shoots out infinite chocolate ice cream: It’s amazing for a while, but you’ll quickly reach the point where you’d really like something more vanilla, instead. (get it?)
It’s very macho to make gay bondage playlists, actually
Machotube.tv is not that good-looking when you first visit it, but it gets worse when you try to actually click a video. I was suspicious of the lack of ads while scrolling the selection on the search page; then I realized they were all stuffed into the video pages. When I first opened a video, it actually took me a second to realize which part was the video and which part was the ads.
Once I got past that hurdle, the website mostly reminds me of your dad: Looks kinda ugly and too old at a glance, but actually does a good job for the most part. I have no idea how the search works, and I couldn’t really figure out why it was being such a dick during my time with the site; but the site has a solid set of tags and categories, so those do a good job for now. The website also calls users who post videos “Studios” rather than profiles, which I think is very funny, in a pretentious way.
One other feature, which I actually think kicks ass and I wish I saw more often, is a Playlist feature: You can actually add buttons to a playlist from your search, and then watch them all in order at the single click of a button. For once I have nothing else to add, I just think it’s neat!
A manly verdict for manly men
Overall, I’m quite impressed with Machotube.tv. The website has a lot of good stuff packed away in a tight little package, like a squirrel drug mule. It has some high-quality gay bondage videos to shake your snake at.
The library is still a little small, but it’s enough to keep you interested for a while, and lots more are added daily. Between that and the playlist feature, this is a site that’s worth ticking around for.
My only big downside, and one that sounds incredibly stupid when I say it out loud, is that there aren’t enough “ordinary” people in these videos. Every single man you see on here is going to be hotter than your boyfriend, and probably more hung, too. If you can somehow live with that “problem”, however, then the only reason you’d not visit the site is if you’re not macho enough. And that’s something I just can’t help you with.
