Overview:
The word "hoopla" has two commonly accepted definitions, according to the online layman's private tutor, Google: 1. [North American, Informal] excitement surrounding an event or situation; [British] a game in which rings are thrown from behind a line in an attempt to encircle one of several prizes. Now, given Gay Hoopla's curious choice of branding, we can assume of this site two things: 1. lively, even thrilling takes on sexual activity; 2. lots of tossing, tight rings, big sticks, and lusted-for prizes. Gay Hoopla's content ranges from self-shot masturbation and bathing clips to seven-guy vacation orgies, pubic shaving and live webcam "cumshows" to straight guys beating off side-by-side. Promising High Definition videos of hot, horny guys, regular live webcam shows, and much, much more, Gay Hoopla sure seems worth the $29.95 it asks for monthly access, but what say we head inside and dig a little deeper than this early superficial reading? Who knows what lurks in the loins of Gay Hoopla? Mr. Pink's knows.

Pros:
If you're after sexy guys with well-toned physiques, charming personalities, and taint-tingling smiles, guys who leap on one another with ample enthusiasm, Gay Hoopla has plenty such guys for you. From boyish guys like Kyle Dean, Aaron Dickson, Jerry Cabrera, and Sean Polo to more rugged, almost bearish types like La El, Blake Jackson, and Cole Money, to super-ripped football player-types, there's lots of great guys here.

Taking a long look at the Advanced Search page, it becomes clear Gay Hoopla wants you to expand your horizons. From Abs, Ass-play, Baseball, Biceps, Costumes, and Country Boys to Squats, Treasure Trails, Uncut dicks, and Wrestling, there's all kinds of scenarios here, some softer than others, some harder. Most recently-added non-webcam updates deliver 720p HD movies that look quite good.

A thriving archive of live webcam shows fill much of the Gay Hoopla servers. Mostly "cumshows" that follow a model as he masturbates to completion, there's also plenty of posing, showering, conversation, and performer-fan interaction. New live shows are scheduled for daily 7pm broadcasts and are are one of the most fascinating parts of Gay Hoopla.

Cons:
You could almost view Gay Hoopla as an all-male live webcam site with some supplementary hardcore content thrown in as a bonus, that's how dominant the live stuff seems these days. Webcam shows also require additional payment to fully enjoy. Otherwise you're left a totally passive participant in a very active show.

Downloading videos isn't exactly a highly-customizable experience at Gay Hoopla, where members are usually given just one format and quality standard to download. A single DL link with no menu attached gives you no choice in the matter, nor does it tell you the file or frame size of the video in question. Live cam feeds are generally not HD, peaking at 450p and not 720p, nor are archived shows.

A good range of advanced search options help members roam the halls of Gay Hoopla without getting too lost or lonely. Disorientation, though, is a little too common: new updates are laid out in a bland display that doesn't make it easy to quickly sort the main hardcore features from the solo sessions and archived live shows.

Hot Guys Fuck is another gay-aimed site from the makers of Gay Hoopla, and one that would make a fantastic bonus for Gay Hoopla's members. The hetero hardcore of Hot Guys Fuck is shot for a gay male (or straight female) audience and spends most of its screen time ogling the hunky guys as they pound pussy, perhaps for the very first time.

Conclusion:
Gay Hoopla's live webcam shows end up taking much of the focus away from more conventional porno episodes, and that's a little disappointing, I'm afraid. The more straightforward shoots - vacation orgies, two-handed stress-relief, ass-licking amateurs, hardcore butt-fucking hookups etc - make for more compelling viewing than the often dull and slow-paced webcam shows. Cam shows do, however, connect you more directly to the performers themselves, giving you plenty of chances to learn more about your favorite guy. A more detail-rich navigation system would make Gay Hoopla much easier to use, as would additional video options (i.e.: more than one) for each scene, clearly labelled with file and frame size information. A little rough around the edges, Gay Hoopla has some improvements to make but, at its essence, is nonetheless a strong all-male adult site that just might be what your aching balls need.
