Pros:
Fantastic site for gay and bisexual fans; All the men (and women) have impeccable bodies; Next Door Hookups is a great site if you are straight; The sex is erotic without being too over-the-top; $15 is the best price for any gay/bisexual porn site.
Cons:
Next Door Hookups' description is questionable since I don't see how the boy/girl scenes are from a gay perspective; Slow updates.
Bottom Line:
Overall, this is a fantastic site for gay and bisexual fans. The models are good looking and have the perfect bodies. The updates come in slowly to the point that you won't see a new scene after a week or so. However, at $15, it's well worth checking out and downloading the scenes.

Pros:
+ Price is reasonable, and you can get it down further - see full review
+ A wide selection of videos, mostly high-quality and from good studios
+ Some HD content
+ Good choice of download formats - WMV, and MP4 in regular and "pocket" size for iPods etc.
+ Therefore Mac-friendly
+ No DRM
Cons:
- Misleading tour/preview pages
- All HD videos are streaming-only with no non-HD alternative to download
- Some videos are "premium" videos only available if you purchase them seperately, at very uncompetitive prices - and even then you don't keep em!
- Search reviews can't filter out premium or HD content, so you can't search for stuff that is free and downloadable - leads to disappointments
- No refunds if you were misled by their site tour
- Support is flaky and unreliable
- Some downloads are mislabelled - what they say is the whole DVD is in fact only one scene, so you have to download scene-by-scene if you want the full DVD.
Bottom Line:
JuicyBoys should have been a wonderful site, and if it didn't have some disappointing policies which they are not up-front about, I'd score it 95. As it is those policies knock them down to 79, and the fact they aren't 100% upfront about them knocks them down to 69.
The content looked really hot and I was promised unlimited downloads for a very reasonable $24.95 a month. Then I realised if you click away from the sign-up screen (you might have to do this a few times) it'll pop up and offer it for only $19.95.
At that price I couldn't refuse so I grabbed it. My bank rejected the transaction on security grounds (often happens, mainly because I'm outside the USA but paying in US dollars). However, unlike any other site I'd seen, I got a message of apology and an offer to have it for $14.95 plus "10 free credits" if I tried again! As I'd done the security call with my bank I knew it would work if I did it again and sure enough I now had access for $14.95! Awesome!
Now I knew from TBP that HD content was not downloadable and that some videos were premium only. What I don't feel TBP made clear enough (and I will be commenting on that on their site) is that when they say HD isn't downloadable, they don't mean you can download a non-HD version but only stream HD. They mean a good portion of the videos, including entire studios collections, is HD only. So it's streaming-only for those - no non-HD download option.
Also the premium videos, whilst in a seperate area, still show up in searches so if you do a search for uniforms, say, and see a video which looks really hot, you then realise it's premium. The prices seem about the same as you'd pay to buy the DVD, yet this isn't download to keep - it just "unlocks" them for you to watch streaming-only!
As HD content comes up in all searches too, you're constantly coming across hot videos you either can't watch at all, or can only stream. No way of filtering your results to only inclusive, downloadable movies sadly.
I was really angry about this and it seemed every video I tried had no download option. This is not what I expected when they promised "unlimited downloads" and didn't say anywhere in the preview or tour that this applied to selected videos only.
So I went onto the support live-chat feature. It warned that it wasn't working 100% at the moment and suggested dialling an international phone number instead - er no thank you, I have my phone bill to think of!
I got connected once, explained my complaint and they immediately offered to transfer my membership to man.com, which had 100% unlimited downloads. I declined, and asked why they didn't make it clear in their preview that this site didn't offer that. That wasn't answered, and they just told me I'd have to go to a different chat window if I wanted a refund. Then I got cut off. I tried a second window, and got cut off immediately.
Third window I got through again. They again offered to transfer my membership, immediately, so it's obviously a common complaint. They said some studios or actors did not allow them to offer downloads. I said I understood that but they didn't make it clear in their preview. I declined a transfer and said, as I had just joined and they could see I haven't downloaded anything, and as I felt misled, could I please cancel my membership and give me a refund. They said I could cancel my membership, but no refunds. My only option was to cancel future rebills, but I was stuck with my months membership.
I wasn't happy and asked them to cancel my membership which they did instantly - a cancellation e-mail arrived seconds after I asked them to do it.
At this point I was all ready to write a stinking PU review and give them a really low score, but as I try to be fair I figured angry as I was I might as well explore the site I was stuck with - and $14.95 meant it wasn't so bad, even though it was the principle more than the money that bothered me.
And I admit that once you accept the limitations, which are big ones, this is still a good-value site. Even at $24.95 it would be good value because you do get a good selection of videos and probably half of them can be downloaded. The resoltion isn't great at 640 x 480 but you can choose WMV or MP4 and they downloaded quickly, though the "whole DVD" option only downloads the first scene so you have to do it manually. The streaming "HD" is 1280x720.
Some of the content is older and not such good quality, but there's a fair amount of newer stuff from decent studios.
Overall it's worth joining for a month at the $19.95 price, but be prepared for disappointment - when you do a search remember half the videos that come up can either be streamed only, cost extra and in some cases both.
I'll download as much as I can from the downloadable content and I'll get value for my $14.95, but I don't deal with sites that mislead me and then refuse to refund my money so I won't join their site or any other in their network again.

Pros:
+Good production values
+Reasonably frequent updates
+Increasing number of HD quality videos
+Around 300 exclusive videos
Cons:
- Navigation very basic
-No model search index
-Photo sets not downloadable as zip files
-The bulk of the photo sets are taken from the video shoot
-No bonus material
Bottom Line:
Man Avenue is what I'd call your bog-standard, bread and butter "entry level" gay porn site.
It focusses mainly on solo videos. Not a problem for me, as that's what I'm into.
The videos are shot with excellent production values, another "glossy" site of mainly muscular/athletic guys. The producers have, however, chosen to add cheesy music (think Richard Clayderman) to a lot of the solo videos. Now, I think I'm broadminded, but I don't know anyone who finds Richard Clayderman sexy...
There are a few duo videos, but that's as hardcore as it gets...
Updates happen about once a week and videos are around the 15 minute mark.
The newer videos are all shot in HD. I'd say that accounts for about a quarter of them. All are available in WMV, m4v and quicktime, and all are also downloadable to iPhone.
There are only one or two stand alone photo galleries, the vast majority being photos of the video shoots And yet again, photosets can't be downloaded as a zip file. There isn't any slideshow function either, so each photo has to be opened individually. Annoying.
The navigation is poor. All videos are posted in date order and there's no search function. Even worse is that there are several videos of the same guy, but there's no link to their other shoots, so you have to trawl through the 300 odd videos to find what you want.
All are fully downloadable and download speeds seem ok.
The site also lacks bonus material. For $24.95 you'd expect a little more material. There is a blog, but the videos shot in the blog also appear on the main site, so it appears a bit of a cop out. It would be also good to have the facility to comment on the videos.
Billing seems reasonably secure by CCBill or Epoch.
All in all this is a pretty average site. Some nice looking guys, some good photography, but for the price you'd be better off with something like Randy Blue, Blake Mason or English Lads, which are far more interactive, have a bigger back catalogue and seem to update more frequently.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
This site is for guys who like their sex unrehearsed. If that's what you're looking for, it doesn't get much better than this. The performers set up the scene (hitchhiking, sauna, hiring a hooker, whatever), and then let it unroll from there. There's a bit of prompting, but it's wild, raw (no condoms), and spontaneous.
Cons:
The camerawork is a mix of gonzo and handheld, with all the pros and cons that come with that. It feels urgent, hot and real -- but it's not glossy lighting and carefully staged cumshots
Bottom Line:
For lovers of spontaneous, unrehearsed, hot sex, this is the best

Pros:
+Frequent uploads
+Excellent production values
+Bonus section
+Videos available in windows, quicktime and flash
+Some HD videos
Cons:
- Pictures not downloadable as zip files
- Not all videos in HD
- Some models don't have separate galleries
-Although models are generally very hot, all of the same "type" i.e. facial hair, generally white, 25-40, but I suppose it's the niche.
Bottom Line:
Men at Play is an extremely well known site catering for those who like men in suits. The videos are very well produced, usually with a plot, great sets and some good performances. The production values are extremely high. Some people may find them a bit "glossy", but this seems to be the high end market they're trying to attract.
Uploads are frequent, generally 3 x weekly. The content is a mixture of plot based movies, solo, casting and audition videos, all revolving around guys in ( and out of) business suits.
There are over 360 videos shared between the above categories and over 130 original picture galleries. The pictures are generally 600x900. The pics are easy to flick through, with a slide show option, but for some reason are not downloadable as zip files, which is a real pain! There are also screencaps of all the movies.
The videos come in low, medium and high quality, with the later ones in HD and all are available in quicktime, flash and wmv and are fully downloadable.
There are four bonus sites which have five or six scenes from the following sites: Blue Blake, Colt, Kristian Bjorn and Michael Lucas, as well as a frequently updated blog. The bonus sites only offer limited content which isn't updated that often, so I wouldn't really factor this into reasons for joining the site.
There is a very good model search facility and the opportunity for members to rate and comment on models and videos, which seems fairly well used by members.
At $25.95 the price isn't too bad given the quality of the content, and it's amazing the variety of scenarios/niches played out in what would seem like a fairly narrow category. A good mix of solo/fucking/rimming and roleplay - all very light if you're into heavier stuff, however.
This site has become a bit of an institution in the gay porn world and is definitely worth a look. However if you're not into polished, scripted scenes with plot, great sets and filming, but rather porn with a more amateur feel, then this isn't the site for you. However, with the current trend for rough around the edges, amateur or gonzo porn, this does come as a bit of a breath of fresh air. I doubt if it would sustain my interest for months and months, but certainly worth joining once to download the material.
What stops it from getting 90+ is the inability to download pictures as zip files, the fact that a minority of the videos are in HD and that the glossiness can be a bit stilted at times. But recommended nonetheless.

Pros:
+Excellent production values
+A lot of content available in high definition
+Fully downloadable content, not DRM
+Download in flash, wmv and mpeg4
+133 videos, which includes 770+ scenes_
+Pics downloadable as zip file.
Cons:
-No system for browsing through pictures, have to open each one separately.
-Content can become repetitive
-Model search facility could be better
-All pics are only screencaps, no original model pictures
-$34.95 expensive for one month fee, although incentives if stay a second month, or are member of more than one Kink.com site.
Bottom Line:
This is another offering from the ever professional and high quality Kink.com network of sites.
This is more than just a nude all male wrestling site. The guys are generally quite hot, and the matches seem to be taken extremely seriously, with three rounds, plus a sex round, where the winner gets to do what he wants with his loser. These guys are serious about the contest and are skilled wrestlers. Obviously, this being a kink.com site, the rules are slightly different, additional points being won for ass-fingering, cock stroking etc.
The site includes a forum which is regularly added to, and there are live shows every month or so, where fights take place in front of an audience and members can chat whilst the match is taking place.
Updates are every week-10 days, and the videos are lengthy, at about an hour each. All videos are available at 960x540, and are in three resolutions low, medium and high quality. The videos are also broken down into smaller scenes.
The strengths of this site are definitely the concept and the videos, it's the pictures that let it down.
Although the site boasts 33,360+ pictures, they are all screencaps from the videos. It could really use some different photos of the models. Although the pics can be downloaded as zip files, when viewing them on the site, there is no slideshow facility so you have to open each picture separately.
There is a model search function, which gives you the models basic stats, and a link to all their videos on the Kink.com network. The problem is that when you click on a video you are directed to the videos on the Kink ppv site, so, even if you are a member of the sites (and I'm a member of 2 Kink sites) you cannot open the videos unless paying, so you have to remember the video, go back to the original site, and try and find it... This is disappointing from a company that really does produce excellent material and is so professional in every other way.
At $34.95, the site is expensive. The fees go down if you subscribe for two months or more, and if you are a member of one site, you can get another membership for $19.99 I believe.
This is a high quality site, well thought out with a great concept and excellent production values. There are a few problems with the pictures and search facility, and the content can become repetitive. But I'd definitely recommend it for a month or so, to download the material.

Pros:
+ Realistic, pretty hardcore spanking
+ The straight guys seem genuinely straight to me
+ Fair amount of verbal in the videos, which I love
+ No DRM used
+ Sleazy, amateur feel unusual in a US site
+ Uses CCBill
+ Generally sexy models
+ Lives up to basic theme/promise of site
Cons:
- Expensive
- Recurring billing
- Seems to use regional billing - see below
- Updates only once a week
- Updates may only be part-scenes
- Video quality variable, average at best
- Audio quality also variable and average at best
- Not everything promised in the description
actually happens in the videos
- Very little sexual action - some masturbation only and that's in a minority of scenes
- Fussy, intrusive log-in system
- Streaming seems slow with lots of buffering.
Bottom Line:
The theme behind Reluctant Young Men is in the title - the men are there purely to earn money, do not enjoy being spanked, and have reluctantly agreed to do it for cash only. This in general seems to hold true - many of the models are belivably straight, and even the gay ones sometimes seem reluctant to do it. A minority of the videos do seem to show guys who are perhaps a bit more into it, but the spankings are hard and real and there's no acting here.
The video quality is variable and never goes above average - you can see it's an "amateur" site. The downloads are WMV, but I found the streamingly frustratingly slow - constant buffering meant long waits and gaps between scenes. Videos are 720x480 in WMV format. Photos are just sets of videocaps, with no zip files to download. The audio is only average too - audible but a bit muffled which is a shame as audio is important on a spanking site. Very much amateur production values here - sexy, but there's a trade off in quality.
The theme rarely changes - the majority of spankings are over-the-knee though a good range of implements are used. There's usually a reason given in the description as to why the guy is being spanked - turned up late for a shoot, didn't return calls etc. and sometimes other guys are brought in as witnesses.
The spanker is usually one older, chunky guy who isn't conventionally gorgeous but suits the role of a firm disciplining older male figure. He remains clothed throughout and is good at verbally humiliating the guys and reminding them that they are being paid by the viewers so to ensure we get a good look at his spanked ass etc. Sometimes if the guys cry and get remorseful he rubs some cream on their butts and gives them a hug to comfort them. Very occasionally he wanks them off too - but sadly this is rare.
I'd have preferred more of the comforting and and masturbating and maybe some more sexual contact at the end too. The site is very focused on spanking and it does it well, but sometimes you feel you'd like more variety in the guys both spanked and spanking, and maybe some costumes, different outfits and sceanrios to spice things up - the same format can quickly get a little repetitive.
The site is a pricey $34.95 a month on recurring billing - and when I paid it converted it straight to £25.83 which according to xe.com is actually $42.71 in US dollars, meaning they added several dollars on to an already price subscription for me in the UK. Thankfully it's CCBill so it was easy for me to cancel the recurring subscription.
The log-in system is frustrating - you have to log in with your username and password every time, it won't allow you to stay logged in - and you have to re-login before you watch or download each video - and if you forget to check the "remember me" box each and every time, it will forget you on the next video, even in the same session.
Most frustrating about the site was the lack of some things promised in the description - sometime it promised a guy would be rubbed and hugged at the end but he wasn't, and one guy was supposed to have been kept in a chastity device and was about to be masturbated for the first time in a month - but they didn't even show the chastity device or it coming off, which ruined the whole point of the scene.
This is a pretty hardcore spanking site and it does show real, fairly serious spanking with no acting so if you're a spanking purist, you'll probably like it. The verbal descriptions are sexy and there are some horny little twists, but overall for me there was too much promised and not delivered on, the quality wasn't good enough, the variety wasn't there and it wasn't sexy enough. For the very expensive price, these failings were a little too much to forgive. If you adore hardcore, pure spanking it might just be worth it, but personally I won't be re-joining.

Pros:
+Exclusive content
+Highly original concept
+Billing by CCBill
+Regional pricing
Cons:
-Only a small amount of videos downloadable
-Most videos in Quicktime only, a few in wmv
-Very infrequent uploads
-Very poor navigation
-Most picture sets not able to download as zip files
-No separate pic and video sections
-Very messy site design
-Videos tend to be short, around 5-10 minutes
-Very little HD quality vids/pics
Bottom Line:
I'd joined this site for a short while a year or two ago, and had rediscovered it, looking forward to re-joining. I must admit I've been disappointed.
The site is highly original, using about 20 different guys in their 20s and thirties. They're not especially good looking, but natural. The videos and photos are of an avant garde, indie nature, and the models look like they've come out of some trendy London or NY art warehouse.
The videos and pics are mainly solo, and are generally of masturbation or posing, with whacky costumes, makeup and props, all filmed with great music and with a handheld cam. The concept is great, content is original,and can be hot at times.
My problem isn't with the concept or the guys. In fact I was really looking forward to re-joining.
There seems to have been very few upgrades in the last year or so. There are 93 videos (generally of only around 5-10mins) and 117 picture sets. Only 15 of the vids seem to be downloadable though, a massive drawback.
The site feels rough and homemade, which fits in with the arty feel, but that shouldn't detract from it being a user friendly site, and alas here it does.
There is no separate video and picture listing, so you have to open up a page and then see if there are pics or vids, or both. Only just over half of the picture sets have slideshows, so you have to thumb through pics one by one, and it's very difficult to go back to a picture you like, and many of the photo sets aren't available as zip files.
There doesn't appear to be any videos or pics of HD quality, and the earlier videos/pics do appear a bit grainy.
Regional pricing helps, and it costs £16.22 for the first month, £14.75 for subsequent months. Considering there are only a minority of downloadable videos, I find this a little steep, but still no too expensive.
This site has the potential to be excellent, and is a refreshing change from sites like RandyBlue.com or EnglishLads.com (as much as i adore these sites). It's off the wall, erotic, perhaps, rather than sexy and it's refreshing to see original ideas and photography. The guys have natural bodies - most on the slimmer side - and aren't clipped, waxed and toned like so many of the US porn sites.
All in all, this would be good for a brief look, if you're not expecting bulging biceps and hardcore fucking, and are into the indie, contemporary arts feels. But due to the above faults and infrequent uploads, wouldn't recommend a lengthy subscription.
Was a member approx. 5 months prior to this review.
Pros:
* Unique content yet a good range - inter-generational, group parties, bukkake, CD/TV.
* Very friendly service
* Non-recurring billing on ALL deals(no recurring billing on any deal - info on TBP is incorrect as far as I can see).
* CCBill used for payment
* Package deals to save cash
* Can view videos on a pay-per-view basis (though this is pricey)
* Genuine possibility of appearing on the site if you like
* Relaxed, amateur feel is very sexy!
* Very good selection of guys from old to young, slim to chubby, hairy to smooth etc.
Cons:
- Cannot download videos - streaming only.
- I think $19.99 a month is too pricey for a streaming-only website when others offer downloads for the same price (though discounts are available if you subscribe longer)
- Not updated often enough and no definite update schedule
- Not loads of content right now
- Good range of genres but with limited number of videos maeans you only get a few of each - currently on two CD/TV videos for example
- Newsletter very infrequent
- Very amateur feel to site - sexy but they are charging the same as other more professional, content-rich sites.
Bottom Line:
This sells itself as an "inter-generational" site, mature-younger, but there's also solo, younger-younger and event (group) scenes.
It seems to be run by a group of keen amateurs with a core group of models, who hold regular themed events with guest "stars" and "extras".
The events all have different themes such as bukkake, blindfolds and strippers. Most involve either a strip/sex show on a makeshift stage for a naked audience (audience participation is encouraged) or a themed group/orgy scene.
Most of the "extras" are very ordinary with some not so attractive, but I find that a turn-on - it's all regular guys having fun.
The site encourages you to come along to the shoot and get involved - you can wear a mask! I can't see myself there, but it's a hot fantasy so you never know, you may see me up there one day!
A query I had was answered quickly with a friendly personal e-mail from the site owners.
My two main issues with the site are, firstly, it's streaming-only.
This is a big minus for me though as I love to download and keep my favourite scenes, and whilst $19.99 a month is reasonable, it puts it against sites which charge the same and allow you to download. In their defence on this issue though, they do not rebill - TBP has them as doing recurring billing on the pay-monthly deal but the site contradicts this and says all plans do NOT recur - and this was the case when I joined.
This improves value but brings me to my next complaint - the site updates five videos at a time, but has no set schedule and updates seem to be getting less frequent. They show you on the home page when they update and I am sure there have been no new videos for at least a month.
Still, they let you know when there are new videos in the preview area so with no recurring billing, you can subscribe as and when you choose.
I can't offer much technical info as there are no downloads and I don't know much about how to describe streaming video, but it was clear and downloaded quickly with no stuttering. I don't think much in the way of photos are provided, just a handful of screencaps for each video.
Overall well worth a look and some unique content, but until it offers downloads and updates more regularly, I think it will be a very rare occasional purchase for me.

Pros:
+Exclusive content
+Videos mostly available in HD
+Photos downloadable as zip file
+CCbill
+All uploads of good length - up to 30 mins
+Regional pricing
+Downloadable content
+Good interaction on live shows
Cons:
+Some scenes lack creativity
+Can be repetitive
+Generally photo galleries taken from videos/archives
+No bonus content
+Blog available but rarely updated
Bottom Line:
Alain Lamas is a straight pornstar who offers solo videos and live cam sessions for the gay market. He's a young, muscle hunk who is arrogant and cocky (that's his niche). The shows generally involve muscle flexing, stripping, shaving, masturbation and lots of hole exposure, but no insertions.He gives lots of verbal and tends to go for the humiliation/degradation scenarios in his diatribe. He certainly seems to know what his target audience wants and is very responsive and interactive.
The site contains 34 solo videos ranging from 8-29 minutes, most being available in HD. There are so far 85 live cam archives and 41 picture galleries. All videos are downloadable and in Flash player. The photo galleries tend to be stills from his videos/shows.
The videos/archives are generally of good quality and the site easy to navigate, although there is no search function and you do have to plough through all the archives to find what you want. However there is a good description of the contents of live shows/videos to help you along your way.
As is often the case in sites devoted to one person, there can be a lack of creativity. The site would definitely benefit from bonus content if it wants to keep its members for more than a month at a time. Video updates seem infrequent, but there are at least weekly cam shows which are archived.
There is a forum and a blog, but the blog hasn't been updated for a very long time and there are very few posts.
I've had problems downloading the content, but I think it's more my lack of technical know-how. I think I may not have the right player. I've downloaded the photos ok, and the videos certainly download to my laptop.
Regional pricing helps, and at £18.87 (UK pounds) I find this reasonable value since I'm a huge Alain Lamas fan.
So, if you're a fan, then there's enough to keep you going for a week or two. Lack of bonus content makes the site not worth subscribing to for any great length of time, unless you really want the weekly cam shows. And he really needs to update his blog...

Pros:
+Easy to navigate
+Hot guys
+Original "reality " concept - follow 8 guys in a house
+Very interactive
+original content
+No DRM
Cons:
-No photos at all
-No model/archive search facility
-No bonus sites included
-Flash player only
- Private, wanking/cum shows at additional $69-$189 for up to 35 mins!
-No guaranteed sex/nudity
Bottom Line:
Fratpad has become well known in the gay porn world, as a "reality" show following 8 gorgeous young straight guys as they go about their daily business in a shared house. As well as the house being full of cameras, and the viewer having the option to move from cam to cam to follow the guys, each guy has an allotted slot each day where he will be on cam for an hour or so. This doesn't necessarily mean he'll be naked, but he'll chat, work out, may show his underwear etc. There's a chat window so members can chat to the guys too.
OK, so far so good, but there's no guaranteed nudity, let alone anything which could slightly be construed as sexual. And in reality this is generally a soft core, titilation site, not unlike the stuff you find on British network TV late at night on Channel 5.
There is an archive of about 160 "antics" videos, which does include a few jerk off races, but generally it's the guys doing silly dances, shaving each other and the usual straight male horseplay (most often non-nude). If you want something more hardcore then better plump for XFraternity or HazeHim.
If you're into softcore voyeurism, then that's all fine, but the site lacks immensely in its back catalogue navigation.
Firstly there are no photos at all of any of the models. There is a substantial archive of over 200 shows of individual guys (I imagine they're all softcore, but haven't had the energy to view them all). These are only classed in chronological order with no photo preview or any hint of what the content is, and there's no search engine within the site.
There have been quite a few guys come and go in the Fratpad over the years, but it seems as a guy leaves, so does his archived content.
There is a sister site, Fratmen, where there is more solo masturbation and hardcore material, but certainly it was not offered as a bonus through the portal I joined. I do feel some bonus material should be added for members.
You can pay $69 to get 20 mins to see one of the guys jerking off, which rises to $189 for 35 mins with cumshot. I cannot see how this can be seen as value for money at all, unless you're absolutely besotted with one of the guys on the site.
The quality of the videos is fine, but they're only available in Flash player, and all are fully downloadable - no DRM.
To sum up, if you don't view this as a porn site, but as a sort of reality show where you can follow hot guys around as they go about their business, and you're not after nudity, hard ons, or sex, then it's a decent concept. But the marketing should really include this.
There is very poor back archive navigation, and frankly, after a day or so I got the point and there wasn't much to see. Perhaps I was expecting too much hard cock...

Pros:
* Unique content
* High production values
* No DRM
* Choice of WMV or MP4 files
* Hot models with guy-next-door paticipants
* Updated with one big scene reliably once a week
* Excellent smooth flash player with large screen, loads real fast and lets you jump around instantly.
* High quality, high-res videos are crystal clear and smooth, and brilliant camerawork - very professional.
* Superb customer service
* Lots of feedback on videos
* Decent $29.95 per month often discounted by $10
Cons:
- Main odels are hot but need more variety - mainly white, American, clean-cut with good bodies.
- Same models in several scenes
- Not a massive archive of footage yet
- Sometimes I miss the more raw amateur feel
- Many "straight" models don't even come near to being convincing, some poor acting.
- Live cams cost extra
- No access to other network sites
- Some imagination in scenarios but can get a little samey.
Bottom Line:
Basic idea - one hot guy is "forced" to be naked in front of groups of guys, tied up, humiliated and made to serve.
I love the way the site sticks to the basic idea of all the guys focusing on the one guy relentlessly instead of pairing off with each other. Also good - the main model is usually classically hot, but some more ordinary guys get to use them too! They show some imagination in the scenarios and there's a good amount of outdoor action in some pretty public places!
They have a few recurring themes - one is the "gay mafia" where a queeny model is harassed by a "straight" guy who is then stripped and humiliated by a bunch of toughs from the gay mafia. Sounds my ultimate fantasy but sadly the "straight" guy is sometimes swishier/camper than the gay guy he's supposedly abusing, and the fantasy is totally cut out when you see the before and after videos in which the "straight" guy couldn't make it clearer he's really gay!
Many have commented that the interviews ruin the fantasy. I think they are there for legal reasons, but other sites have done it and made it hot - the models agree they did it of their own free will, but keep up the act - reluctant and ashamed, admitting they only did it for money. Not here - the guys grin all over their happy gay little faces! They should have the interviews as seperate scenes so you could have choice, but they're still covered legally.
The standard price is $29.95, which is reasonable, but sign up for their mailing list and it's often "on sale" at $19.95 for a month.
The video quality is awesome - beautifully shot & crystal clear. The downloads offer a choice of MP4 or WVM in 1280x720 resolution (lower res is also available) and the in-browser flash works flawlessly. Great customer service, feedback is encouraged - a class act.
For all this technical brilliance, I didn't renew. They've got the production values, hot models and slick camerawork - but they've forgotten that kink is supposed to be sleazy and naughty - no matter how hardcore the action, it somehow feels unreal, a little sanitized. I enjoyed it and would join again now and then, but somehow they need they keep the quality but regain a little sleaziness!
Combine the technical brilliance and service of this American site with the raw sleaze of a British one, you'd get perfection! This site gets right what the British ones don't, but sadly the reverse is also true.

Pros:
- Wide selection of videos: 240 video clips of highlights of strip shows, 12 videos of stripper "movies", 44 videos of recorded live cam shows and 12 behind the scenes videos.
-Easy to navigate
-A-z model index with links to all 60 models' content
-Daily live links (5 hours a day) to the Stock Bar strip club shows with backstage "jerk off cam"
-Frequent, almost daily, uploads of previous shows
Cons:
-Non downloadable video
-Only 8 photo galleries, generally stills of shows, unable to download as zip files and no slide show facility
-Photo quality quite grainy
-Strip show videos very short, highlights only
-Videos only available with Flash player
-Some model content very sparse e.g only 1 x 3min clip
-Lack of bonus content
Bottom Line:
Whilst this site has serious flaws in terms of non-downloadable content, limited photos and short archive clips, its real merit is that it provides a live link to the Stock Bar male strip club in Canada. Therefore all the content revolves around these shows, and offers a backstage cam of strippers "preparing" for their shows.
For the person purely into watching men take off their clothes, and general softcore content, it isn't too bad. The site is very easy to navigate and offers an insight into the Stock Bar.
However the site does seem a little like a promo for this bar, and there is no interaction between the strippers and the audience as on other sites. Perhaps an added bonus site offering more hardcore material would make the site more appealing.
Although there is a wealth of archive material, it is very short (about 3-4mins), given that the each stripper will be on stage for at least 15 mins, and considering the archive video sometimes also includes scenes from the jerk off cam. There are additional videos such as behind the scenes footage (again, very short clips) a few movies made by some of the strippers - all softcore, and archive videos of some live cam shows - generally all solo scenes.
Videos only seem to be available in flash, and are non-downloadable. The quality varies from excellent with regards the "movies" to quite poor for the archives of live footage. The lack of photos is disappointing, and with no slideshow facility it can be difficult to flick through them.
However, as mentioned, this site is not necessarily about the archive footage and recorded videos, but serves as a live link up to the Stock Bar. This in itself may be worth the monthly fee for those into "live" strippers, and to get that feeling of community, but there are many other sites which offer archived videos of shows offering more in terms of hardcore content and audience interaction. It really seems designed for people who love strip shows, but for whatever reason, are unable to go to one themselves, and I suppose there's a fair few people who fit into that category.

Pros:
-More than your average "stripper" site, with increasingly hardcore interaction, although the latter has only recently been incorporated.
-Lengthy downloads of more than 40 mins
-Reasonable variety of model "types": racial and body type mix.
Cons:
- Infrequent uploads: currently only 16 videos
-Unfortunate title (come on, you cant have a title like that and not expect a comment!)
- No search function for individual models (not that important now, but as the site grows this will be needed)
- Unable to download photos as zip file
-Poor editing and continuity (one minute the models and audience are naked, next they're clothed for example)
-No additional content other than the stripper videos, although there's an option to buy other sites in the family for $14.95!
Bottom Line:
The concept for this site is seen all over the place in both gay and straight porn. Male strippers performing at (gay) private parties or clubs and interacting with the audience. This is far harder than most of the other sites, and the audience are encouraged to suck the strippers cocks, lick their arse etc, and the strippers cum over the audience. This concept tends to get repetitive, although I must admit the strippers really are hot. In the last few uploads, the stripper will actually pick an audience member and fuck him. All good, and now they've added the twist that the audience members have sex with each other as well.
Although the concept sounds hot, the "group" sex scenes are contrived and amateurish. You can see the audience members looking at the director and waiting for their cue to start the action, you see the crew walking in and out of the shots. The "orgies" aren't actually orgies, but different pairs of guys having sex in the background, whilst the stripper does his stuff. All this leads to a very confused and messy look.
I think the problem is they're not sure whether to tap into the market of the excellent GuysGoCrazy site, or to stick with the concept of hardcore stripper action. It seems they've lost their way in trying to please too many people. I did add this to the site's comments page, but of course, it was never posted.
I do have to mention the title, as it doesn't create the most erotic or sexy atmosphere. In the early videos, if you can believe this, prior to the strippers coming out, they actually have a man dressed as a giant frankfurter walking amongst the crowd!! Perhaps this really illustrates how the site hasn't found it's way yet!
The design is very basic and for the money I would expect a few extras, at least some more info/pics of the strippers, perhaps some solo/interview scenes. They do offer reduced membership to its other sites for $14.95, but that's small compensation.
The uploads are infrequent, but this is a fairly new site. However they are lengthy and there is some hot action.
All in all, this site is very much a work in progress and hasn't really found its niche. It offers far more than your average male stripper site in terms of action, and the guys are generally hot. If you're into strippers, this site may be worth considering for a short membership (but don't take the trial, as someone has commented, it's a bit of a rip off), but it may be worth waiting a while.

Pros:
Uploads of over 30 mins in length
More genuine feel than other sex fraternity sites
Good combination of "frat hazing" and hardcore action
Hotter guys than in comparable sites
Multiple POV cameras used adds to genuine feel
Cons:
Very little content, at last visit only about 7 uploads
Infrequent uploads, less than weekly
DRM
Tends to be the same guys in each scene
Bottom Line:
There's a multitude of frat hazing sites of variable quality around at the moment. In this site, the concept is a male frat house where the guys end up daring their room mates to do things ending up, invariably, in sex. There's a combination of laddish, drunken and stoned pranks e.g. throwing flour over guys, drawing on guys when they're sleeping, and hardcore action. It invariably ends in one of theguys being fucked and used by multiple guys. The twist here is that each of the guys has a hand held camera and film the action from their POV. There is no director and there appears to be a very loose structure, the result being a very realistic, genuine and hot site. The site claims it is run exclusively by the frat which is made up of straight and bi guys, and judging by the content this premise seems to ring true.
Although the camera work is POV, it is of a very good quality, the uploads are of a good length and it feels really well produced. I can't remember the name of the main protagonist in the videos, but I certainly recognise him from other porn shoots.
The action never feels staged, unlike sites such as Haze Him, where the models are pretty ropey in the looks department, and do not appear straight at all. It's not as glossy as, say Fratpad or Fraternity Boys, but the quality of the action and the raw feel to the scenes are far superior.
The downside is, apart from it being DRM, that there have been very few uploads. It is a relatively new site, and I only subscribed for a month, so hopefully this will improve. I also feel this site hasn't really been well marketed. I subscribe to a number of porn blogs and it hasn't had the exposure comparable sites have enjoyed. Perhaps as the uploads increase, this will change.
All in all, this is by far the best of the "frathouse" themed sites I've seen, but suffers from a lack of uploads. I'll probably re-subscribe in a couple of months when hopefully the content will have increased. But definitely well worth a look.

Pros:
Hot, friendly and accommodating performer
Very frequent live shows
Responsive to suggestions in live shows
Massive back catalogue of videos/pics
Regular uploads
Cons:
Camera quality can be poor, as it's a self-cam.
Site design rather archaic making it difficult to navigate at times
Only one performer - but, hey, that's the niche.
Longer videos could be broken into segments for better navigation
Very little content other than "Jeff"
Bottom Line:
This is basically a fan site for one guy called Jeff, a straight guy who basically wanks and exposes himself for his very loyal fans. Now there are loads of sites like this, based on just one star, and whilst many of them include duos or content involving other stars, this is solely Jeff.
Basically, it's loads of videos of him stripping, showing his asshole and wanking, or simulating fucking, flexing, showering, shaving. He will wear a variety of clothes, and create different scenarios, and he'll chat about what he's been up to etc. His live shows are very intimate, and he does genuinely chat with his members, getting up a good rapport with them. He's definitely a sexy guy, if you like muscled hairy chested, shaved headed guys with a nice manner. This site is really about him, and you have to really be a fan to subscribe.
The navigation and site design is pretty basic, and there could do with being some bonuses involved in the subscription fee to make it worth your while staying subscribed. For these sort of sites I usually only subscribe for a month, or even for the trial period, download what i need, and move on quickly.
All in all, if you're a fan of Jeff, then I'd recommend the site as he manages to produce quite varied content for one lone guy. It's not really worth staying more than a month, though, unless he really is your dream man.

Pros:
Good number of uploads.
Genrally hot guys.
Site easy to navigate.
Good opportunity to interact with site.
Large backlist of videos/pics.
Cons:
Concept gets a little repetative - "straight guys" gradually being cajoled into doing more risque things.
Genrally the same "type" of guys, not very diverse.
DRM
Bottom Line:
A good quality site with a large backlist of guys, and regular uploads. There has been much controversy about the director in so much as how far does he push the boundaries of the guys, and is there manipulation going on. i agree with previous comments that it does often seem as though the guys are prostituting themselves, but i don't necessarily see that as a problem in the context of porn.
On the whole, a good site, hot guys, but probably enough to keep you going for a month, then come back again a few months later to check out what's new.
Was a member approx. 3 months prior to this review.
Pros:
Beautiful models
high production values
good rate of uploads
great member interactivity
Easy to navigate, well designed site
Well thought out live shows, with a good back catalogue.
Videos divided into sections so easy to find parts that interest you.
Cons:
Limited range of models
Actual sex content can become quite staid
Bottom Line:
This is a high quality site with very attractive models, and regular uploads. There is increasing member activity through live shows, which are very successful, and the whole impression is that of a family involving its members.THe site is easy to navigate and looks good. Good range of photo uploads too. The only downsides are that sexually, the content is often quite unoriginal, and there seems to be a limited range of exclusive models, who are not that diverse in "type".
However, all in all, this is one of the leading sites and is well worth joining, if only, perhaps for amonth or too, before holding off a couple of months and rejoining when there's enough new content.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
Good concept- either having sex, or getting others to have sex with the guys in public places gonzo style.
Length of uploads good, usually over 20 minutes.
Credible scenarios inviting members to write in and join in the action
Cons:
Very few uploads
Not all uploads are of the site's concept i.e only a handful are actually "in public"
The quality of the camera work, direction etc is often quite poor
DRM
Bottom Line:
The concept sounded really appealing, two guys going to public places, surprising onlookers and getting them to have sex in public. in reality only a couple of the uploads have delivered this. The majority have been group sex in private places, with no public around. There have been very few uploads, and most new uploads are just the second half of the original video.
In short, this site has been very disappointing. it doesn't really do what it says on the can, and there have been very few uploads, although it is early days.

Pros:
High production values
Original take on BDSM fetish sites
Long (over 1 hour) original content updated weekly
Site easy to navigate
mix of BDSM and public humiliation
hotter guys than on regular fetish sites
Cons:
Variations on same concept could become repetative
"interviews" with the guys pre and post scenarios do detract from the fantasy element of the concept
uploads could be split into smaller scenes so you don't have to fast forward through entire video
Bottom Line:
This is a high quality site from the Kink franchise, so the production values are, as you would expect, very high.
Basically a guy is humiliated, bound, subject to BDSM in front of groups of other guys in various scenarios e.g bars, shops, toilets etc and the other guys join in. The content is often quite sophisticated.
The downsides are that at the beginning of the scene there's an interview with the guy basically to show us he's consenting to the scenario. For me, this detracts from the fantasy and seems it's been added for "political correctness" - odd in a porn world that is anything but PC. For authenticity, sites like Straight Hell appeal to me more.
However, a great site, if not a little repetative, but well worth the money for a month or two.
Was a member approx. 5 months prior to this review.
Pros:
-Reasonable price options.
-Multiple download sizes.
-Viewer can choose either dvd or scenes when a search is performed.
-Good variety of dvd's.
-Viewer can watch the clip before deciding to download.
-Clip editing is available.
-Good breakdown of the categories.
Cons:
-Search is not always accurate with your category.
-Site does not add new movies at regular frequencies.
-Limited viewing due to lack of dvd's.
-The movies are a little dated, new releases are sparse.
Bottom Line:
The price is definitely a deciding factor on the site being worth a subscribtion. I was able to download all the clips I was interested in in about two months.
Some of the categories on this site would appeal to women if it was more carefully niched.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
There's a variety of video content, especially inter-racial. The boys are cute, the sex is well photographed.
Cons:
Uploads are limited and often take a long time and sometimes don't work at all. Navigation isn't easy. The photo gallery is limited to screen captures from the videos. Some videos can be found at other sites, especially the older ones.
Bottom Line:
Site membership is inexpensive, but in this case you get what you pay for.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
The site is ordinary women having fun (i.e. sucking and or fucking) with male strippers. There are not many (and in my view not enough) sites within this particular niche
Cons:
1) No downloads
2) Very poor quality streaming.
3) Many of the videos involve no sex. Essentially we are watching women watching male strippers. I did not pay to see women watch male strippers. What I paid to see was women watching male strippers, giving the hand jobs, blow jobs and fucking them.
Bottom Line:
Really not worth the price. For roughly the same price there are better sites that offer the same niche.
Until there is significant improvement, I would stay away.
Was a member approx. 4 months prior to this review.
Pros:
More than 1000 DVDs
Good category search
Good content quality (3MBit, DVD quality)
Good price
Translated to many languages
1 new DVD every day
Great variety
Cons:
Little New DVDs
Only 15 DVDs with bi males
Not consistent download speed
Bottom Line:
I am bisexual myself, but I will try to describe VideoBox not only for bisexuals, but also try to give information, which I think is useful for gay guys (I am sorry if it is not useful).
Videobox Men is a large DVD site. It has more than 1500 DVD videos. DVDs can be watched online using Flash or can be downloaded for Windows Media Player, with 3 Mbit bitrate. Site updates often, adds approximately 1 new DVD every day. Usually DVDs on the site are old, released on DVD 6-18 months before Videobox Men.
Videobox Men site has many different categories of video. It includes bareback, bears, big dicks, twinks, approximately 60 categories total. Category search is very good when I compare it to other DVD sites. Interface is translated to many languages.
For bisexual category, they have only 15 DVDs. Some of bisexual DVDs are good, and one DVD series (Bi Group Sex Club, 2 volumes) is IMHO very good.
I like Videobox Men, but wish they have more bisexual videos.
Was a member approx. 6 months prior to this review.
Pros:
Some videos are unique
Many galleries
Bi Sex stories
Bi Comics
Frequent Updates
Cons:
Most of videos are taken from third party videos, not telling where it was taken from
Video quality is poor
Very few scenes with cum
Design is very simple
Bottom Line:
I thought that Three Pillows is the best site for bi males. But recently I joined Bi Sex Digital and found that most of videos on Three Pillows are short scenes "borrowed" from full DVDs on Bi Sex Digital. It is a big problem for me and even more if videos are not licensed, and they probably are not licensed for ThreePillows.
Other than this, ThreePillows is a good site probably run by bisexuals. Bi comics are interesting, stories are interesting too, and they have many other extra things on site which are interesting.
Site has two big problems. Video quality is very poor for year 2010. And I do not think that using content, probably without license, is a good thing. If thez can fix these two big problems, I think it will be a good site.
