|
| Pros: |
Highly original content
Realistic scenarios
Good production values
Exclusive content |
| Cons: |
Now unable to access in UK
Was only in WMV format
Uploads not that frequent
High price |
| Bottom Line: |
This is one of my all time favourite sites. Whether you're into BDSM or not, the concept is really original. They take an unassuming straight guy and basically torture him. The performances are generally extremely good, and the sets are great. There's even a slight morality in the "torture" as the "straights' they molest have often done something bad, e.g. be homophobic, thieves etc. I have seen some of the models on other gay sites in the franchise (First Auditions, Rate These Guys etc) but no surprises that these guys aren't purely straight! It's of the Bound in Public ilk, but far more natural and real. If you like Bound, you'll adore this.
My only issue is that I can't access it from the UK any more, unless I do it from a remote server, and that all sounds too complicate (tips, anyone, on how I actually do this???). They say it's to protect the anonymity of the models, but I'm not sure that's really true (as you can see the trailers on most porn blogs) and if it's just a stunt to make it more authentic. Straight Hell guys, can you please have a change of heart.
In short, an excellent site if you're into BDSM, torture etc and are looking for something highly original. The concept has started to be replicated, but nothing touches this... |

| 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. |

Men At Play

|
| 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. |

Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
|
| 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. |

|
| 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. |

|
| Pros: |
Original concept - Members comment and rate performances in various categories e.g anal, strip.
Good interactivity - members comment, guys reply
Good video quality and quick to play
Site easy to navigate
Members can nominate challenges for guys
Sort of talent show for porn creates suspense and interest
Exclusive content
Hot, "straight" British guys |
| Cons: |
Video clips are very short, longest about 4 minutes
So far, limited selection of guys
Some of the performances shows this might be all a little staged
The concept of ratings and the challenges not yet completely thought through
Irregular uploads |
| Bottom Line: |
This is a really great, fresh concept. Guys submit videos of themselves doing things in various categories - stripping, wanking, pissing, showing hole etc and members rate them. The highest scorer wins a cash prize. Members are expected to submit critical comments, the guys respond, and can resubmit to improve their score. They can also do challenges set by the members to win additional cash. The guys are hot, but the videos are very short, and as this is fairly new, there are a limited number of guys.
In short, this has the potential to be a really original site but in it's infancy there isn't that much content. Will probably be better in a month or too. |

Man Avenue

Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
| 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. |

Alain Lamas

| Status: |
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
| 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... |

Fraternity X

| Status: |
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
|
| 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: |
+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. |

| 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. |

| 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: |
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: |
- 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. |
