Tribal Male

Tribal Male is a very unique experience. The site features a collection of S&M gay porn movies produced by Steven Toushin from the Bijou Theater. His work is considered pioneering, and the “most intense gay cinema” to have ever been produced. He did a lot of his work in the late 60s and early 70s and here those films have been remastered and put into digital formats you can download and stream.

The content is extreme as it gets. Supposedly, this is BDSM action without any safe words, and I would believe it. There is extreme gay slave action and the punishments are among the most painful and humiliating you will see. There is bondage, fisting, anal sex, flogging and whipping, jacking and more. The stories for the scenes play out in dungeons and even in Roman times. The content is totally original and really set the bar for what was to come in gay BDSM porn, though few videos or websites could compete with the artistic vision or sheer intensity of the S&M here.

There are 51 movies on the website so far. As mentioned these are all remastered from the original films. Bare in mind, if you will, that these were shot in several decades ago. They've done a fine job cleaning up the image but it is still from analog film, not a digital format. Picture quality isn't perfect. It's like watching a vintage movie from the 70s on DVD, more or less.

You can download movies in Windows Media, MP4 and QuickTime media formats. Each has a 640x480 pixel resolution and a good quality playback. Movies can also be streamed online, played in a Flash video format embedded into the website. It loads instantly. There are no watermarks on the videos and no limits or DRM-restrictions. The films each vary in length but many are over an hour long.

There are no pictures.

The site is dark and simple in its design, but it works very well. You can browse through the parts of the movies and each part has a pretty long write up. They critique the movie, talk about what happens in it, and otherwise explore the themes and drama of the intense BDSM action. I really enjoyed reading these articles which at times are almost scholarly.
