TheCastingRoom Review

The Casting Room is a wild porn video site featuring real porn star wannabe auditions with real, everyday men.

All the site's videos follow the same plot: The guys are interviewed, physically examined, weighed and measured, and then made to pose naked from every exposed angle.

Some shots get super up close to their cocks and often very virgin butt holes. So much so, that you could play your own adults-only game of connect-the-dots with their intimate freckles.

When it's time for the porn hopefuls' screen tests, every guy goes all out to prove what his sex skills are made of, getting hard, moaning and groaning like the best of them, and then blowing his load on camera, all over the camera.

Prices & Payment Options

• 1 Month at $34.95/mo - $34.95 total

That's right. The Casting Room has only one membership option and no free trial.

Here's what you need to note: The first time you sign up, you'll only pay $19.95 for the first 30 days, plus a $1.95 processing fee. So, the first time round, you'll pay $21.90 total. This then renews at $34.95 every month until you cancel.

The Casting Room doesn't say as much, but I assume that the reason why the first month is cheaper than subsequent months is to give you a sort of trial period at a reduced price. If you like what you see, you're bumped up the full membership rate when your subscription renews.

The Casting Room only accepts credit card payment, no PayPal or Cryptos here. You must provide your name, email, and billing address when checking out.

Quality of Porn

At last count, The Casting Room boasted to have a collection of 1,417 videos. Obviously, I never counted for myself. Most flicks are in MP4 format at 1920x1080 or 1280x720, and are all mobile compatible for viewing on the go.

The filming and editing quality is more on the amateur side, but that fits the site's theme, being about first time auditions and all. Everything is still clear and focused where it needs to be.

Some older vids top out at WMV quality and stream at 640x360. These are obviously not mobile compatible and are also not available to download.

The Casting Room's films average 15 mins each, some more, some less. Each recording is accompanied by its own photo set with scene grabs captured at a resolution of 1200x675. There's no slideshows or zip files available; pics must be downloaded one by one.

Types of Porn

There are a scant number of previews on the homepage that are around 20 seconds each, but other than those, anything you click on will redirect you to the payment page.

The auditionees are mostly European gay men, with a scattering of straight and bi, aged 18-35, with the majority being in their twenties. You'll meet Phil, 25, a pub owner, Jamal, 22, a student, Stuart, 23, a plumber, and Brett, 27, a business owner.

Most of the dudes sport uncut dicks, which isn't my personal favorite, but each to, and with, his own.

Each amorous audition is divided into 3 parts. First, there's the oral interview, which is only above-the-belt talking. Then, there's the physical examination, inspecting the hot hopeful's naked physique from top to toe. Finally, there's the masturbation test.

During the trials, the men are asked a series of questions about themselves, their past exploits, gay and straight sexual experience, and current orientation. The interviewer asks them about what gets them hard and what kinds of activities they're willing to do on cam, like getting blown by a man, or taking an oversized dildo in the ass. During  physical exam, dicks are measured and butt holes are spread wide for close inspection.

Men have to pass The Casting Room's EME test: Erection, Masturbation, Ejaculation. Porn performers are expected to be able to get it up and spewing on demand. For many of these guys, this is where it ends. They shoot their loads and are never seen on sex cam again.

But a handful of these gay gems come back for round two where they go guy-on-guy, sucking, poking, and screwing. There are around 60 episodes of these repeat hardcore offenders. You'll see oral sex, bottoms and tops going top-to-bottom, cum shots, milky facials, and a lot of swallowing.

Every now and then, you can even spot one of the successful studs in videos on other gay porn sites.

Content & Update Frequency

Every week, usually Wednesdays, totaling 4 new productions a month. This isn't set in sexual stone, though.

The story on The Casting Room is always the same: Guys audition with wet dreams of becoming the next big thing in great gay porn. Some men are straight and think they're auditioning for straight porn shows, others don't care and are up for anything, and the ruling majority are homosexual.

The tryouts are especially titillating when things get up close and personal with his pole and hole. Scenes are an almost equal split between downright hardcore man-on-man meat fests and action riding solo.

Each video has a detailed caption alongside about what's in store and the guy being auditioned.

Safety/Discretion

The Casting Room is not secure. None of the site's pages are HTTPS secured and there's no valid security certificate for the site. This is surprising, considering the site's activity, which, likewise, is a sign that it's not that big an issue for users.

The only page that is secure is the payment checkout, because you're redirected to the site's payment gateway, Verotel. At least this part is end-to-end encrypted, so you can rest assured when handing over your credit card details.

Once you're a member of The Casting Room, there's no exchange of personal info. This is a porn video site, not live chat, so you can get around the lack of security, if you're clever about it.

Change your password regularly, use a VPN, and scan whatever you download for malware before saving it. Nowadays, most browsers automatically do the latter part for you, and will warn you if something is amiss.

All that said, I haven't experienced any dodginess using this site so, hopefully, neither will you. Also, there's no preselected cross sales that you need to be aware of at checkout. That's a plus.

Odds & Ends

The Casting Room is sadly lacking in navigation and search functions. In fact, there is no search function. When logged in as a member, you can browse what to watch next by model, but that's it. The films are ordered according to the date they were released.

What all this means, is that using The Casting Room requires a lot of scrolling. And I mean a lot. You risk tiring out your wrist before you've even gotten to anything good.

What's more, the number of videos available is somewhat exaggerated. I don't think this is done intentionally, it's just that The Casting Room counts every format option as a unique video, even though they're one and the same.

Beware that the member's area has a lot of commercials, including some that could easily be mistaken for content, so think before you click and get caught out. This is definitely not an advert free porn site.

Whenever you download a flick, the file name never changes; every one will have the same name as every other one you downloaded before it, so just remember to rename each of them first, or run the risk of overwriting every one you've already saved.

I also must mention that most videos have a watermark that periodically relocates and is rather distracting. In the photo sets, the watermark is sometimes laid square across part of the saucy stud's body. Even as a paying member, you're stuck with these.

This may seem like the complaints department, but as your almighty God of Porn, it's only my duty to keep you well informed. No porn site is perfect, but once you move past the bit of clutter, The Casting Room has a lot of graphic guy-on-guy action to offer.

Conclusion

The Casting Room has nabbed an untapped corner of the gay porn market: Auditions. Most of us who enjoy watching quality porn (who doesn't?) don't think about what the arousing dudes did to get there.

The Casting Room takes on porn from this unique angle. It's insightful and exhilarating. Sure, the site's not perfect, but its content is well worth your while.
