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.
Happened to me - at work! I just told the lady that I enjoyed watching porn and asked if she thought I was a pervert! She was surprised, said no and left it at that.
Hardly a man on the planet who hasn't used porn and in the age of the internet more and more pople have at least tried it a few times.
Heard of both but only from the movies! I get kissing booths though I wonder if sometimes the guy tried for more than a kiss! If it was a local girl everyone knew and people were close by I guess it was okay, but if it's a carnival but no local reputations to maintain and the carnival girl a stranger I wonder!!
I never knew what Tunnel of Loves were - was the idea it was like a romantic ride where you kissed and hugged?

Updated:
07-10-1108:23am (Update History) Reason: Decided 79 was too generous given massive flaw on site
Pros:
* Loads of exclusive content
* True to CFNM concept - most CFNM sites aren't
* Handsome models, good range of guys
* Surpisingly well-acted by male & female models
* Really good range of imaginative scenarios
* Streaming and downloading options
* No DRM as far as I can see - but see review for full details as there are some issues here
* British-based with mainly sexy British guys and women
* Lots of content suitable for gay male viewers too
* Regular updates
* Lively user forum
Cons:
- Very pricey - $39.95 first month, then $34.95
- Recurring subscription - needing manual cancel.
- Usual chaotic site design from this studio.
- No access or discounts to other sister sites.
- Some videos only available on sister site - costs same again to join, not updated, uses intrusive DRM AND expires downloads after 30 days!
- Forum interesting, but no feedback to comments, though some evidence they do read/act on them.
- Many of the stories are photosets only in basic galleries - no way of knowing which ones will be video and which photoset-only.
- Could do with some slightly older guys.
Bottom Line:
Another potentially awesome site from this studio that gets the porn so right but basics so wrong!
First the good - CFNM.net provides the absolute best, most imaginative, well-acted scenarios with great models. No other site comes close - period.
They understand the CFNM concept perfectly. Clothed Female/Naked Male means just that - the women's clothes stay on, fully, all the time - and are attractive without being so revealing that the women might as well be naked too.
I know I'm writing from a gay man's point of view, but to me, those sites miss the point. The clue is in the name- it's about men being shown off naked for the enjoyment of clothed women.
There's two camps with CFNM - some focus more on humiliating the men and some more on him showing off and enjoying it too. I like both - but prefer the former which this site does lean more towards. It provides a good choice though - some confident men, most humiliated but in a teasing way and some more hardcore with some moderate S&M.
I won't dwell on the usual flaws from the studio - crap search, chaotic layout, and very expensive.
However this site is unique in one famous problem. Apparently it used to have all the content, then they spun off all the video content to a sister site, CFNM.TV, so you had to join both sites - no discount - to see the video content you used to get from one.
I've been a member of this site and CFMN.TV and it seems that they spun off about 30 titles to CFMN.TV but then had partial change of heart.
CFNM.TV hasn't been updated in ages and CFMN.net now seems to get videos posted on it again - but the best videos remain on CFNM.TV. You can't even just sign up to CFMN.TV once to download them becuase they have vile, intrusive DRM which deletes downloads after 30 days if you leave the site, and won't work on any other OS than Windows.
This, and their odd policy of some scenarios having video and some not, means you can see a great story only to find it either has no video, or the video is at CFNM.TV.
If they'd just admit their mistake, close down CFMN.TV and make the videos non-DRM on CFMN.net I'd rejoin like a shot - despite the flaws I'd gladly pay just for the quality of the content.
A deeply flawed site I so want to love but can't!!

Updated:
09-19-1109:30am (Update History) Reason: Further editing to keep updated reivew within 60-line limit.
Pros:
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!
