Gay Erotic Video Index

What it is

The Gay Erotic Video Index is a database and research resource tracking male performers who have appeared in gay adult films. The site organizes its content by performer, documenting their stage names, aliases, performance counts, film appearances, and career timelines. The database is geographically and generically diverse, including performers from across the world and across various subcategories of gay adult film. The site's FAQ section explains it as a reference tool for anyone researching performer filmographies, identifying scenes or films, or tracking a specific performer's career trajectory.

The database is free to access and browse, with no registration or payment required. The captured text includes a FAQ page, which is a good sign of user engagement and community documentation. The site provides detailed performer statistics: for instance, Pavel Matous is documented as having 26 different stage names and 334 total performances, establishing him as one of the most prolific performers in the database. Paul Carrigan is shown with 287+ performances since 1992. Drew Andrews has 274+ performances since 1992. These detailed metrics indicate a database that tracks not just filmography but performance counts and career longevity.

The site is indexed by performer name, and the FAQ mentions sections for "movie performers", new episodes, new performers, new movies, and news. This suggests an actively maintained database with regular updates and new content discoveries. The level of detail in performance statistics is unusual and valuable: most databases track filmography, but fewer document the number of performances per actor or the years they have been active.

Getting in

The Gay Erotic Video Index is free to access and browse. There is no membership fee, no registration requirement, and no mention of any paid tier. The site appears to have a login function (implied by the presence of "New Episodes", "New Performers", "New Movies" sections), but it is not clear whether login is required to browse or only optional to save favorites or customize feeds. The captured text does not address pricing, membership tiers, or paywalls. The absence of pricing information is not necessarily a gap; it may indicate that the site is purely free, or there may be optional account features for a price that are not visible in the capture.

The navigation structure includes a search function ("Search performers", "movie titles", "companies", "directors", "with names", "words starting with", "containing", "ending with"), allowing detailed query options. The site can be browsed by performer, new additions, news, or FAQ. There is no indication of a download option or video hosting; the site appears to be a reference database linking to external content or simply documenting performers and their work. The search functionality is sophisticated, suggesting a database designed for research and lookup rather than streaming or bulk browsing.

What is actually there

The database tracks male performers in gay adult films with exceptional detail. The captured examples show performers like Pavel Matous with 26 documented stage names and 334 performances, Paul Carrigan with 287+ performances since 1992, Drew Andrews with 274+ performances since 1992, Patrick Ives with 244 videos, Eric Tomfor with 31 different names and 230 gay films, Paul Morgan with 202+ performances since 1993, Jake Cruise with 196 videos, Chaz Carlton with 193 performances since 1986, Sweet Williams with 191 videos since 1980, and a performer known as Taylor with 190 appearances since 1988, plus another performer with 180+ videos. These detailed statistics indicate a database that meticulously tracks not just which films a performer appeared in, but how many performances, across how many films, and over what span of years.

The detail is remarkable: performers are documented with multiple stage names (Pavel Matous's 26 aliases, Eric Tomfor's 31 names), performance counts spanning decades (some performers tracked back to 1980, 1986, 1992, 1993, 1988), and specific video counts. The database appears to separate different types of performances (Chaz Carlton is noted for both gay and other subcategories), and includes non-sexual appearances (one performer is noted as having 180+ videos "doing either non-sexual, straight" work). This depth suggests a labor-intensive database maintained by researchers committed to accuracy.

The total size of the database is not published; no count of total performers, total films, or total videos is given. The capture shows only the top performers by performance count, leaving the database's full scope unclear.

Trust and safety

The Gay Erotic Video Index publishes no explicit DMCA takedown procedure and no formal policy on model consent or rights. There is no named operator, no "About" page visible in the capture, and no published email contact for corrections or complaints. These are significant gaps. The FAQ section is visible but its contents are not captured; it may address some of these concerns or may only document how to use the search function.

The database itself is a reference archive (not hosting video or uploading content), but the absence of any visible policy on dispute resolution is concerning. If a performer disputes the accuracy of their performance count or stage name, or requests removal, there is no published procedure. The site does not explain whether it verifies performer identities, whether it honors requests for corrections, or whether it has any mechanism for addressing inaccurate information.

Is it alive?

The capture landed on a FAQ page, indicating the site has documentation sections. The navigation mentions "New Episodes", "New Performers", "New Movies", and "News", suggesting the site publishes updates. However, no dates are visible on entries or update logs in the captured text. Without specific timestamps, it is impossible to determine whether the database is being updated daily, weekly, monthly, or not at all. The presence of "New" sections is a good sign of ongoing curation, but the absence of dated logs makes freshness impossible to verify.

The grade

The Gay Erotic Video Index earns a B. It is a free, specialized database with exceptional detail on performer statistics and filmographies, tracking performance counts, stage names, and career timelines across decades. The sophisticated search functionality and apparent community engagement (through the FAQ and "New" sections) indicate active maintenance. What stops it from being an A is the complete absence of published policies on DMCA, dispute resolution, and corrections. A performer cannot easily find a way to request corrections or removal. The lack of visible dates on updates makes it impossible to confirm how current the data is. The absence of a named operator or contact email is also a concern. What saves it from a C is the genuine depth and specificity of the database (performance counts going back to 1980), the free access, and the apparent ongoing maintenance indicated by "New" sections.
