UPDATED FOR SEPT 2011 WITH NEW EXPERIENCES!
* Good concept - straight guys interviewed for porn and you often see them on the sister sites.
* Going since 2005 and has hundreds of men and videos
* Roleplay is often surprisingly convincing, and many of the guys do appear genuinely straight.
* Lots of sexy British guys but also good selection from around the world.
* No DRM, all downloadable for keeps.
* Mac Friendly.
* Unique Content.
* Some bonus content from sister studios - CFNM, CMNM, Straight Hell and Brutal Tops
* Cool "Groping Hands" scenes add extra spice. |
| Cons: |
- NEW UPDATE SEPT 2011 "Second Audition" concept hot but only 1 video so far a month from launch. Still no new "Groping Hands", and no new guest studio stuff since May 2011.
- Expensive - $39.95 first month, then $34.95 p/m
- Recurring billing has to be manually cancelled
- Site is chaotic with few search options.
- Majority of early 2005/06 shoots are photos only. Most shoots to 2009 haveno streaming.
- Camerawork can be shoddy
- Very "samey" - little variation in each video.
- Little feedback - no forum, can't rate/comment on most videos
- Choice of tiny 480x270 "standard" video or small 640x360 so-called "high quality" WMV files, though newer ones also have Quicktime MOV files at 850x480 |
| Bottom Line: |
First Auditions is a pretty unique site. Many cater for the whole "gay for pay/auditions" thing, but this site does it in a uniquely sexy, degrading way - and you see which men made it to make porn for their other sites.
All the models are "straight" men who are supposed to be auditioning for porn - so far, so normal. This site is unique in that the men are interviewed clothed, then made to strip and pose in the most undignified positions by a fully clothed gay cameraman, who asks probing questions about their personal lives and how far they'd be willing to go in porn with other men.
They're also great at finding men who are hot, but who come from a wide range of backgrounds, really do look like ordinary guys and really do look (mostly) straight or bi-curious - these guys are real, not models and haven't done porno before.
They also have the "Groping Hands" concept - each guy is made to stand and be groped and felt up by male hands - the men themselves are not seen. Later, they have to be strapped in a examination chair with their legs spread to take a dildo up the ass, then be masturbated until they cum. There's a hot little scene at the end where they ask them if they feel ashamed of what they did, would they suck a mans cock for money, etc. which is really sexy.
It doesn't sound like a lot - there's no actual sex happening here, but it's refreshingly new and works well. The majority of the guys appear convincingly straight. They are made to pose, answer questions, be measured and weighed and generally pretty well humiliated.
Groping Hands is the best part of the site, but seems to have been introduced for 2010 and then dropped. The camerawork can be shaky and shoddy due to the guy having to film and interview and touch the guys all at the same time.
The organisation is a bit chaotic and whilst they now allow you to search by models nationality, you can't search by age etc. There's some bonus material from their sister sites - especially good for us UK viewers who get to see some from sites supposedly not available in the UK!
UPDATE 19.9.2011
I rejoined First Auditions when they added a new "Second Auditions" feature, which involved persuading the models to have sex with men, doing all things they said they wouldn't do in their "First Audition" interview. It sounded kinda cheesy as a concept but when I joined the first "Second Audition" video was extremely hot, but after a month it remained the only one of the site - all the updates after that were standard First Auditions.
As they've stopped the guest studios and Groping Hands, and don't seem to be committed to the new Second Auditions feature, I was very disappointed as Second Auditons was my only reason for rejoining and they made such a big deal out of it.
The updates have also become less frequent and more erratic - you more often wait a whole week The quantity is dropping off majorly too - I noticed in March 2011 there were no less than 19 updates - on average more than every 2 days - but it steadily declined from then on - 14 in April, 8 in May, 7 in June and July and a dismal 6 in August - and when I left the site on Sept 18th they'd only done 4 so far that month.
The best content was always the more unusual Groping Hands, Second Auditions or even guest studio stuff - the plain old First Auditions are as samey and dull as ever. Now they're focusing almost exclusively on that and doing a lot less of it, I feel they've just given up on this site and are doing the bare minimum to keep it going.
I've downgraded the site to a 69 from 75. It would be even lower but it's worth joining once just to download the archived Groping Hands, guest studio and (one!) Second Auditions stuff - but then cancel your membership - nothing more to see here! |
