I didn't know that I had an armpit fetish until I stumbled across Armpits.com and I watched one guy dump a load on another guy's armpit. Hot! And that's one of the things that I love about surfing gay porn sites: every once in a while I discover new things about myself and about gay sex. Armpits.com is one of the most innovative gay porn sites that I've seen in a long time. For a while now gay porn sites have been stagnating, falling all over themselves to show "straight" guys jacking off or getting their first "gay" blowjob. Then, out of the blue, comes a really hot site like Armpits.com.

The premise of this site is simple: they focus on armpits and not so much the guys, or the type of guys. From skinny guys to muscle men to hairy older men to scruffy long-haired beach bums (like Chuck J off to the left there – I could really crank one out with him), and there's everything in between. Their goal is provide us with as much armpits as possible – shaved and hairy, clean or sweaty, sweet smelling or workout stinky. Some of the galleries feature guys smelling their pits while jacking off, others focus on a man working up a good sweat lifting weights. There a good mix of hardcore and soft core galleries. One of my favourites was Aaron Starr, a hot jock who is jacking off on his work-out bench. Off in the corner stands an inflatable doll – watching. As he gets hotter, he wipes his hands under his arms and uses his sweat as lube. It's moments like these that will make you glad you signed up with Armpits.com.

Armpits is easy to navigate. I appreciate that each gallery opens up in a new window; that way, when you close a guy's gallery, the member's area is still active underneath. It's too bad this wasn't the norm for most gay porn sites. The member's area shows a fairly large picture of each model and a video camera indicates whether there's a video clip in the gallery. I can't think of any other way of making it more simple.

First of all, Armpits is not just a gay porn site, it's a community of men who adore pits. And to that end, the site owners, Chris and Dave, have created a bulletin board that allows members to discuss their fetish, talk about the galleries, make special requests, and hook up with other guys into hairy armpits. One post takes a poll on whether guys like hairy armpits or shaved armpits (53% like 'em hairy) while another post invites Orlando armpit enthusiasts to a pit licking party. Wild! It's features like this that will make Armpits a favourite stomping ground of many surfers. And the site owners really care about making sure that their members have a great experience. If there's a particular guy you like, simple e-mail Chris and Dave, and they'll see that you get some desktop wallpaper. If there's something you're dying to see, like a guy fucking another guy's armpit, again, just e-mail them, and they'll try and work it into a future production. Now that's service.

Finally, another stand out feature of this site is their amateur section. Chris and Dave go out on the street and offer male passers-by $20 to lift up their shirts and show their hairy armpits for the camera. How fun! So far they've got over 40 galleries of amateur men exposing their pits. And while Show Us Your Pits is a membership site itself, Armpits.com members get access included with their monthly membership.

I found the movie clips a bit on the small side (320 pixels by 240), I'd be willing to wait the extra minute or two for a larger screen video clip. Armpits is still a brand new site, less than a month old at the writing of this review, so things are just getting started. They do have over 50 galleries, and currently, they're adding about three new ones a week, so there's loads to keep you busy and there's great value for your membership dollar. But what can I say, I'm a pig and 400 galleries would be better!

If your turn-ons fall on the kinkier side of things, it's sometimes hard to find sites that really do it for you in a big way. I love looking at men's feet and it's frustrating to see the lack of attention photographers pay to this hot, male feature. Likewise, if you're into hairy armpits, until now, it's been difficult to satisfy that urge. Armpits not only focuses on hairy armpits, but by not focusing solely on big cocks and cum shots, they show us that there's more to gay lovemaking that sucking a bone or blowing your load. Watching two guys exploring their chests, nipples, hairy armpits, and necks is fucking hot. And Armpits reminds us to slow down when we're in the sack and take some time to savour our lesser-known erogenous zones. And if you're open to exploring new things, you might just discover something as simple as a man's armpit can really turn you on.
