all4youguy's Review
Amazed only 20% contain full nudity! I love strippers but I guess I'll be avoiding this site!
I've never found a true male stripper site for gay men that really looked good to me, which is a shame as it's one of my favourite things.

| Pros: |
Uh... I'll try to be positive!
+ Reasonably quick downloads (though I've seen better)
+ I don't use a download manager as such but it allowed me to download a dozen movies at a time without any issues - which is unique in my experience and should mean it's download-manager-friendly
+ Quite a lot of content
+ No download limits
+ Billing by Verotel
+ A few good bits in among the dross |
| Cons: |
- Some awful quality content
- Almost all non-exclusive content
- Some content is merely trailers from other sites
- Weird mix of gay and straight
- Navigation is a mess, search almost non-existent, layout awful
- Some content has nothing to do with stripping
- Some content is tame - not even full-frontal nudity
- Uses several different video formats, some of which I've never heard of and couldn't get to work
- No streaming or in-browser footage - download only
- Some truly awful amateur footage is more or less unwatchable
- A lot of content is from movies or TV shows - I wonder if copyright is being respected here?
- Photos are very difficult to download and view
- Much more photo content than video |
| Bottom Line: |
I love male strippers - stripping really turns me on and the sensual act of removing the clothing is such a turn-on. Sadly you see surprisingly little male stripper content and so much gay porn skips straight to the action without seeing the guys removing their clothes.
Things didn't start well with the infuriating log-in with a Captcha code, and when I got into the site I was kind of confused as the layout is messy and amateurish - it looks like a site from about 15 years ago.
There is a bar at the top of the home screen showing several different categories of content. Great I thought, there's lots of video content here.
Incorrect - all of the above links lead you to photos only - this is a much more photo-based site than I expected. This was a disappointment as I prefer videos and I didn't feel that it was made clear in the preview than it was mainly photos.
I clicked on the photos and I was amazed at the poor quality. A lot of them are tiny - some are as low as 320 x 240 and awful quality. Many are simply blurry vidcaps.
They are simply presented as a page of thumbnails. Most pages have no slide shows and although there is a link to download it all, it doesn't work.
I checked out their FAQ pages and it confirmed that this was not a fault... I quote
"Because of the pop-up photo viewer interface we use for the galleries, it's a little tricky to save the photos to your computer."
Considering the photo viewer is awful - the pop up photo viewer is primitive and doesn't even appear on all pages - this is incredibly poor.
I soon realised that video content is simply bunched in together in one section. No categorisation or searching is possible, so you just have to go through this cobbled-together list of content.
The site uses at least five different video formats. I managed to download and view the MP4 and WMV files, but the AVI, FLV and MKV files were not playable on Quicktime or Windows Media Player.
Again, this is an acknowledged issue; quote
"Because our video clips are collected from various different resources and platforms, they don't all have the same video format. That's why you might find some of the video clips won't play on your computer or the sound is missing."
They recommend you download VLC Media Player, which I couldn't get to install, or K-Lite Codec Pack which they said was harder to use so I didn't try. When every other site I've used has familiar file types any player can play, I don't want to have to download unfamiliar software for this one site.
The video content is a really odd mix - I'd say only about half of it is actual strip shows, and some of them have obviously been shot by amateurs at nightclubs etc so video and sound quality are poor and audience members are in the way of the camera.
The rest is clips of foreign movies with bits of nudity (not always even full frontal!), or people stripping off or having sex in public for a dare (often heterosexual couples and again amateur quality) or even trailers from other sites!
The only good thing I can say about this site is I did manage to find a few clips that were of strippers and were of decent quality.
In the main though this is largely non-exclusive, poor-quality content which is often not even really male stripping at all. I would be surprised if all the relevant copyright owners, especially of the non-porn movies, had licensed material to this site but I may be wrong.
I feel my rating is generous and is based on the bit of good content I did manage to find. Other than that this site is a misleading, badly-designed mess of poor quality non-exclusive content and as such must get the lowest rating I have yet to give on this site. Avoid! |

Hi manhole and cheers! Yes it's a very hot site with a friendly feel and the amateur feel is exactly what appeals to me. If it wasn't streaming-only I'd rejoin in a flash but sadly the lack of downloads is a dealbreaker for me - had I realised it was streaming only I would never have joined, but like rearadmiral I didn't realise there was such a thing as a streaming-only site when I joined!
The content is hot but the lack of updates and streaming only is the downfall. I find most amateur sites mean amateur service to go with it - friendly, but not very frequent updates etc. That's the downside. The trouble is they'll tell you they're just a small group of friends doing it for fun which is fine, but they're still charging same as the more professional sites!
If someone could take amateur content and package it up in a really professional website operation, you'd have my perfect site, but sadly it seems to be ultra-professional and airbrushed or amateur and erratic!

Hey rearadmirsal yeah it shocked me too! I did actually write about that in my review but I ran out of space so I had to edit that part out.
I had no idea when I joined it was streaming-only as I had no idea such sites existed! They didn't pretend to be fair, nothing on the preview says you can download, I just kind of assumed you could! I've since found out there are other streaming-only sites so I'm extra careful now to avoid them.
Like you say I like to have something to show for my money! I guess people who only watch something once and never agsin would say it was like renting a DVD instead of buying one, but I like to keep my favourite scenes. Besides, streaming sites often only seem a little cheaper or not cheaper at all, so it's hard to see the benefit.
Thanks for what you say about the gay community, I didn't find it patronising at all! I wish there were more gay reviews on the site but hey I'm part of the community so if we want something we've got to do it for ourselves, just hope more gay people will join the site - hopefully the more gay reviews the more of them will join and it'll grow like that.

Really am sorry I was stupid not to check first still getting used to the site. I've e-mailed them and asked them to remove my review for a while.

Ooops I'm so sorry I didn't realise yours hadn't been up long, an oversight I really am sorry. Maybe I could contact them and ask for my review to be put on hold for a while.

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. |

Yay manholelover's back with another review for me! I really look forward to a new review from you! I checked out the site preview and I gotta say it looks pretty clear it's a solo site! You need to wipe down that monitor more often big boy! ;-)
Navigation sounds crap which would really annoy me and I hate music in porn! I don't mind solos but this sounds a bit too straightforward to me. Like you say, kinda of like "beginner porn" LOL!

I guess with little content and poor quality, $29.99 for a year is actually not as good value as a good site at $29.99 for a month! Pity.

Interesting review of an interesting site - I think I'd find it too frustrating if a model showed me nearly all but not quite, but I guess it does add to the mystery!

Hey otoh just saw your reply! Thanks - I'll bear it in mind if I ever do go "back to Mac" - I haven't ruled out the possibility.
I was just using the standard Quicktime player, but where sites wanted me to use Windows Media Player seemed to be the problem - before there was a Mac version but ever since I had to use Flip4Mac some files wouldn't play.
It was mainly DRM stuff which I do avoid now anyway but it did put me off. Porn is important to me as I am sure it is for everyone on this site!

A Mac eh! Is that new? I am back on Windows after going back a while ago - I actually found Macs good for porn in the sense that they're more virus-resistant, but not all porn sites are Mac friendly so I'm afraid that just wouldn't do for me!
Now you do have a Mac a suggestion for future reviews (and updates to old ones) I always mentioned if a site was fully Mac-friendly in my reviews (some are partly Mac-friendly but not all content might work, for example older content may not be available for Mac although of course they still charge you full price!).
I try still to do that now but sometimes I forget - but some sites don't support Macs but don't make it clear - they'll bury it in their terms and conditions so if you join but can't use it, no refund!
It's mainly sites that use DRM that aren't Mac-friendly, and I avoid those anyway, but it's worth noting!

Yay another manholelover review!! I look forward to your reviews and this is an excellent as ever.
I've often been very tempted by this site as suits are a big fetish of mine - but as usual with me it's the glossiness which puts me off a bit. I love fantasies and roleplay and I appreciate good lighting and camerawork, but hot as the guys are it's just too slick and they're too perfect for me!
If only I could get the quality filming and scenarios, and professional site design, but with some more ordinary looking guys! I want the usual type of the businessman you see on the train, not buff gym-bunnies!
Still they do have some hot scenes so one of those I might join for a month to download what I like and then cancel - I presume downloads work OK?
