Next Door Buddies

Next Door Buddies Review

Next Door Buddies is the second oldest site in Next Door Entertainment's network, which turns 19 years old this year. It was also one of the web's original straight men sites where guys explored gay sex for their first times. This site is now a part of the ASG Max network which includes 64 gay porn channels, so we have a lot to talk about.

This site focuses on guy-next-door types, mostly athletic jocks and muscle hunks with gym-built bodies. You can expect plenty of handsome guys with chiseled pecs, ripped abs, strong shoulders and arms, and firm butts, and while performers are certainly muscled, they're not the size of competition bodybuilders. There's a good mix of smooth and hairy bodies, many men are clean-shaven but there are some with facial hair, as well as guys with tattoos and others with no ink. Most of the performers here range from their twenties to their early thirties.

Next Door Buddies introduced us to newcomers and first-timers just breaking into the business and doing their debut scenes, and while some come and go pretty quickly, others become mainstays who develop full-blown gay porn careers. Some of the regulars who have appeared in recent scenes are Ryder Owens, Nico Coops, Trevor Harris, Kam Stone, Calvin Michaels, Kyle Wyncrest, Ben Masters , Derek Kage, Logan Aarons, Trevor Brooks, and Michael Flex. But others like Brandon Anderson, Carter Woods, Dakota Payne, and Scott Finn still appear regularly, along with so many others. You'll find lots of your past favorite gay porn hunks here, as well - guys like Quentin Gainz, Markie More, Mark Long, Connor Maguire, Brenner Bolton, Lucas Knight, Colt Rivers, and Darius Ferdynand.

The action has changed quite a bit over the years. Originally, straight guys were featured in solos and side-by-side jack-off sessions, and they often included oral action and sometimes anal sex. It's been a long time since Next Door Buddies released the kind of side-by-side jerking that put them on the map. Starting in June 2019, they updated exclusively with threeway action, then in January 2020, they started introducing duos again. In the past 60 release there have been ten threeways, two fourways, and the rest of the action is duos. There's usually a simple storyline that gets the guys into the action like two studs playing paint ball, and the loser gets his paint-blasted ass fucked, or one roommate catches another jerking off and joins in, or a couple of guys working out in the gym get full-on wild.

Next Door Buddies now offers 913 exclusive videos in MP4 format. The newest downloads (most of which are over 30 minutes long) are offered in eight sizes including a super-sized 4K version at 3840x2160, and these can be over 15 Mbps. The next biggest size is 1920x1080 at good quality, and there are smaller sizes for those on slower connections or who download the videos to smaller devices. The very oldest scenes come in two sizes at 720x480 and 360x240 at average quality. All of the videos can be streamed in a player that resizes them to fit your screen; the highest quality levels look good even at full screen. The older videos play smaller and lack sharpness, and these tend to look better on phones and tablets.

Each episode comes with a picture set. Most of the pics are digital stills, the newer are good quality at 1280x1920 (or reversed for landscape orientation), and older ones are average quality and sized at 800x1200; a few of the oldest sets have sets of average quality screencaps sized at 720x528 or 320x240. There's no longer a hands-free slideshow feature, but the picture viewer does have forward and back controls. Downloadable zip files are available or you can save individual pictures if you prefer.

NextDoorBuddies had been updating weekly for years, but then for the first half of 2023 they reduced updates to twice a month. Starting in August 2023 they moved to a monthly update schedule, but they missed one in September. They missed the first two updates of 2024 in January and February, but they've been consistent for the past three months.

The good news is that you now get full access to the entire ASG Max network which offers Next Door Buddies and 63 other gay porn sites and collections (they call them channels), including all of the Next Door Studios sites, Active Duty, Extra Big Dicks, Men Over 30, and lots more. Altogether there are 12,609 videos here and they add a new one every day. So this is quite a boon for members.

Let's talk about issues. There's a pre-checked offer on the right side of the billing page, but it's easy to unclick if you're not interested. When joining the site, you are automatically signed up to receive commercial and update emails with no way to opt out at the time you join. If you hit your browser's back button from the billing page, a popup with a fake rep may appear. There's a lot of advertising in the members area, and when logging in you'll pass through a full-page ad, but thankfully the "No Thanks - Continue to Member's Area" links are easy to spot on the top and bottoms of the page. One last thing to be aware of is that members must cancel their memberships at least 48 hours in advance; otherwise you'll be rebilled one last time after cancelling.

Finally, a couple of words about pricing and membership options. The $5.00 option is a 30-day membership, but it's streaming only, and it recurs at $19.95 monthly. The 30-day option is an introductory half-price offer at $14.95, and while it includes both streaming and downloads, it does recur at the regular rate of $29.95 monthly.

Next Door Buddies has a lot going for it with 913 exclusive videos that full members can download, stream, and watch on their mobiles. But most of all, the guys here are everything I expected them to be: well-built, athletic, and very horny. Some of the older videos are solos, but the newer videos are hardcore (and have been for a long time), so you can sit back and enjoy all the cock sucking, fucking, and loads of hot cum. While the site usually updates once a month, members get access to a huge gay porn network with 63 bonus gay porn sites and collections, over 12,000 videos, and daily updates. NextDoorBuddies delivers hot all-American jocks and tattooed studs who love sucking dick and anal or jerking off on camera, and access to the network makes this a good value, too.
