As a lifelong Golden Girls fan I was amazed to see they did a parody of that! Can't say the actresses were very convincing but it was kinda funny!
I quite liked the Cheers parody as I always loved Ted Danson and the actor playing him is kind of like him.
Certainly worth checking out the preview just for a laugh!

rearadmiral's Review
Was curious to read a review of yours, and the 99 rating and the site attracted me. You do a good job of justifying the high score in a well-written review. I love humiliation in BDSM and I have looked at this site in the past as I've joined the gay versions of kink.com sites.
Even I found the previews hot so they must be doing something right! The gay version, Bound in Public, is hot but somehow just a little too polished and not quite as daring or sleazy feeling - I guess to be fair they're all filmed in the US and the gay element makes it even riskier.
Great review of a great site.

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.

mbaya's Review
Sounds one weird site to me - like you I don't get the smoking thing at all. I guess it might be to make the women appear relaxed and like they're in control but to me it's a bit odd and makes it sound like they're not really into it - who smokes DURING sex if they're not bored?! After maybe!
The whole point of CFNM is fantasy so the gonzo style is just not appropriate for it - sounds like a lazy site where they haven't understood the genre at all, just tried to cash in one a new craze.
I hate non-updating sites too!
Great review, will leave this one WELL alone.

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. |

Wow, now that's what I call a review! Very comprehensive - there's no question I can think of you haven't answered in full - but you manage to capture the spirit and "feel" of the site too which is most important. Well done!
On a seperate note, I am impressed with the way they responded to your complaint but still not very impressed with their download limits or the fact they didn't make it clearer in the first place. Still, they did rectify it and that kind of good service to customers is so rare on porn sites. Most of them seem to forget you are a paying customer!

I agree - the site was always primarily a photosite but half-heartedly did add some videos later. Even then though they kept the photos, so even if you hated videos why would you demand they be removed as long as the photos remained?
To stop doing videos right in the middle of a series is particularly annoying and unfair to paying customers.
The irony is I never thought their photos were that great anyway - clear enough but hardly the big sizes you'd expect from a photo-only site.
All very disappointing. Even if they reversed this decision it puts me off rejoining the site because they seem to think nothing of reversing decisions on a whim, so who says they wouldn't do it again?
So many sites have great content wrecked by this awful attitude to customner service, sadly this is one of them!

I agree with other posters, I had to put "Other" as I am not clear what this is. I don't think I've come across it on any site I've joined. Having read the replies I'm still not sure, but they don't sound like they're much to get excited about.
I hate "bonus" content - I just want a high-quality site which focuses on its core theme and does it well - quality not quantity. Most of us have a LOT of quantity of porno, but mainly because so much of it just isn't quite right.
I don't want more choice, I just want nicer things!
(Bonus points if you know who I'm quoting in that last line sweetie!)

messmer's Review
Sounds like, unusually for a website, it might actually be better value to buy DVDs with the money you'd spent on this site. Sounds like a real rip-off so good warning to stop others being ripped off - a well-written review too. Let us know what CCBill say - I've always been curious as to whether you'd be allowed to get a refund if you notified them right away that the site was poor quality.

Extremely thorough and detailed review which gives a real sense of how the site "feels". It's also good to see a more unusual genre being reviewed. Well done!

Certainly looks a unique and different site but I couldn't quite get a handle on it from the site tour... is it just photos?
If you do rejoin I'd be fascinated to read a review on it as it looks like no other gay site I've seen!

Review could have done with a bit more detail as said but you have really captured the essence and "feel" of the site well in your review, which I think is most important, so well done.
Excellent to see an actual response to the review from the site owner too, especially as it's honest and helpful. If only more sites paid attention to their customers and reviews more, we'd all be better off!
Well done to you both!

Agree with you and Mbaya - can't see the point of this type of site at all. Just hanging round for hours waiting for a glimpse of cock - if it's not about sex why do they have the private shows etc? If it isn't, what is it? Just an expensive and even less interesting Big Brother?!

Very well-written and thoughtful review. I've never subscribed to a one-person site before and he's not quite my type, but I probably would if I liked the guy enough. Sounds a reasonable price though.

Took a look at the site - if the videos are mostly as short as you say above, you might as well stick with the previews! They're all about 30 seconds long as there's dozens of em LOL!

Hi mate it's my biggest porn-related frustration ever!! Good to meet another gay site reviewer on here!
No, it's not worth joining FA to get the videos if you don't want the other FA content - at the moment there's only four StraightHell videos on there, and they're only scenes, not the whole set of any one story.
It might be worth joining some time down the line as the guest studio contributions seem to be added every couple of weeks, but they're from four different sites - CMNM, CFNM, BrutalTops (also unavailable in the UK) and Straighthell.
There's four BrutalTops and four Straighthell scenes right now. If they add 2 a month from 4 studios in rotation, then you're only going to get a new Straighthell scene every 2 months - so I guess if you waited a year there'd still only be 10 Straighthells and 10 BrutalTops videos in total!
I've e-mailed them at StraightHell and the other sites before asking why they won't make it available and asking for the real reason but they just say there are no plans to make it available in the UK and ignore the part asking for a reason. MAYBE if enough people asked them, or even UK users left their other sites at the same time in protest, they might relent. Not counting on it though!

I SO want this site it drives me crazy! I HATE not being able to access it! They claim it's to keep the models identity private in the UK but that's such nonsense - they have preview videos and stills all over the web!
Someone suggested a proxy to me but whilst that would maybe let you get to the sign-up page, you'd still be paying with a UK-based credit card so I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work and they'd block you then.
The only partial workaround is to seek out the reasonably long previews on the net, and if you join First Auditions they have a handful of full-length scenes available as a "guest studio" contribution - strange that one, since First Auditions is accessible in the UK!
