Now, if there is a name that knows exactly who it’s talking to, it is BoyfriendTV. It does not sound like a porn site so much as a streaming service you would share a password for with your other half. Netflix and chill, but without the pretending you are going to watch a movie. I like a site that is upfront about what it is, and BoyfriendTV sure does not beat around the bush. It does, however, have videos of something else being beaten, and we are here to talk about the gay crossdressing section of that. With that said, let’s see if this boyfriend is just a fling or a keeper. Too cheesy? Ah, come on, I know you laughed at that one.
A small closet, but a tidy one
I am not going to sugarcoat it, and I want to get the numbers out of the way immediately.
The gay crossdressing section on BoyfriendTV has about 80 videos. That is not a lot. I know, some of you like to burn through dozens of videos during a browsing session, so it is not nearly enough to keep you satisfied, but trust me, size is not always important if the quality is there. This is especially the case with porn.
The collection is pretty clean, with minimal bleed from other niches. I appreciate when a platform is honest about their collection instead of presenting thousands of videos only for me to find out that only a few dozen are good, and that they are hidden somewhere in the collection. Most of the stuff you click on BoyfriendTV will be exactly what you expect it to be and not some random scene that wandered in by accident. There are a few borderline cases, as some videos stretch the definition of crossdressing as far as it goes. A guy wearing a pair of panties technically counts, I guess, but if you came here looking for the skirt, stockings, lipstick, and a wig with all of that, those videos will feel like they are cheating you. I mean, they are not wrong, but it is not really what either you or I want to see in the gay crossdressing section. Especially if you know how good the category can get with its best content. Still, a small, mostly honest collection beats a huge one stuffed with junk. You won't waste much time guessing whether a thumbnail fits the niche, and that makes browsing a lot more relaxing.
Dark mode adds so much to browsing gay crossdressing videos
Let’s be real. Most people prefer to browse for porn during the night, with the lights off. If there is something that makes browsing a piece of shit, it's when the site uses a light theme that melts your eyes, especially if you are browsing on a big monitor. Hell, even on a phone, it can be annoying. However, when it comes to BoyfriendTV, it comes in a nice dark mode by default, which is exactly how I like it.
The weird thing is that it does offer light mode as an option. But who the fuck wants to browse a porn site in light mode? Seriously, who? I don’t know anyone who does. Ah, what do I know, maybe some of you have the fetish of feeling like you are opening a fridge at 3 AM to be blasted by its heavenly lights, but instead of a snack, you get a nice dose of porn. Honestly, now that I phrased it that way, I kind of get it, but I will stick to dark mode, thank you. This is a small feature, but it shows that someone behind the site actually thought about the people using it. That's more than I can say for a lot of places.
Sort through the videos like a pro
For a category of this size, BoyfriendTV gives you more tools than you will probably ever need. You can switch between all videos and HD only, which is great for clearing out the grainy stuff. You can sort by trending, date added, most popular, top rated, or longest, so whether you want what's hot right now or the classics everyone loves, you'll find it fast. There's also a duration filter with short, normal, and long options, so you can pick a quick clip or settle in for something juicier to marinate your solo session over.
To be honest, with only 80 videos, you could scroll through the whole collection in a few minutes. But it's still nice to have the options, especially the HD toggle and the top-rated sort, which will get you to the best stuff with a single click. Just don't stack too many settings, or you'll end up with a near-empty page.
Since we are already discussing the videos and how it feels to filter and browse them, I must just add that the player is also pretty good. You have all the basic settings, plus a playback rate so you can slow things down, or speed things up if they seem a bit boring and you want to artificially spice up the action. If you fiddle with the slider, you will see a preview image of what you are about to land on. This is quite a useful feature that I think every player should have.
There is also a quality setting that defaults to auto, but you can pick whatever resolution is available. If you want to save some bandwidth while browsing on your phone, it never hurts to lower it since you probably won’t be able to tell the difference in quality, while the streaming might be smoother if your connection is not perfect - perfect for wanking one out in the mountains.
Beware of ads
When you click on a video on BoyfriendTV, you don't go straight to it. Instead, you land on a fullscreen ad page with a continue watching button in the top right corner. Click it, and you're through to the video. It's annoying, but it's not the end of the world. But there is something funny about this. If you are running an ad-blocker, you are going to be staring at a more-or-less empty page with a continue button in the same spot. It’s like you are trying to enter a club, and the bouncer is on the front door, waiting for you to ask nicely if you can come in, even if there is nothing inside.
Surprisingly, there is a very easy way around this, which gave me a good laugh. All you have to do is open a video in a new tab, and you skip the ad page entirely. Once you know this trick, you will never go back, as it makes browsing on BoyfriendTV a lot smoother. But if you thought that this was the end of the ads, I am a bit disappointed in you. At this point, you should know how things work, especially if they are free. On the page with the actual video, there are ads everywhere. You will find them on the sides and below, but surprisingly not on the video itself, which is usually the most annoying kind. Honestly, after skipping the big ad page, these ads are fine. After all, something needs to keep the lights on, even if the page looks crowded.
Keeper or a fling?
At the start of this review, I asked if this site is worth coming back to or if it is just another one that you will check once and then forget about. Well, before we get to that answer, there is another good thing to praise BoyfriendTV for, and that is that you can register for a free account. As one might expect, it comes with all kinds of quality-of-life stuff, such as saving favorite videos, commenting, and making a playlist. You already know the drill. Not much else to say. It's free, it's optional, and it doesn't lock any videos behind it, so it's entirely up to you.
BoyfriendTV's gay crossdressing section is small. There's no getting around that. About 80 videos won't keep you busy for long, and a few of them stretch the definition of crossdressing so thin you'll wonder if they count at all. The ad page you get when clicking a video is annoying too, though the new tab trick takes care of it. But everything else about this site is decent. The bleed is minimal, the dark mode is a blessing for late-night browsing, the filters work, and the player is one of the better ones I've used, with a preview feature that actually saves you time. It is not a place to settle down forever, but it's a great spot for a few nice nights, and something that you will definitely find yourself returning to in the future. Definitely a fling worth having.
