Review date: November 2011

Of all the sites in the five site Man Sex Pass, it's a safe to bet that Raging Stallion is the favorite. With approximately 580 scenes from about 145 DVDs, the site is the Who's Who of masculine, muscular American porn gods. Add in studio quality camera work and the excellent viewing quality of recent HD videos and you'll have all the muscle sweat you need. That being said there is DRM on the videos, the older videos could be upgraded, the trial is very limited, and the "Play" to stream option is buggy.

Tour

The tour first displays thumbnails for the most recent half-dozen videos; you can watch clips of these on the embedded player. The "Video Stable" is a mirror of the entire DVD index, but to preview videos it's best to use the scene index that starts on the home page. For each video there's a 40-second trailer that kicks in after a second or two.

Usability

Navigation through Raging Stallion is straightforward enough if you avoid the "Play" option, though it presents as somewhat busy and there are upsells. There are buttons across the top of the page for the "Video Stable" (DVD titles), the "Stallion Men" (model index), "XXX Cinema" (bonus video feeds) and "Men Live" (scheduled and archived live shows). There is no search function but you can filter by any number of sex acts or themes.

However Raging Stallion has some usability issues which really subtract from the enjoyment of the content:
- if you click "Play" to watch a streaming video it will take up to 30 seconds to start; during this dead time you stare at a black screen and you cannot use your mouse to click away; if you try to click around too much at this point your browser may crash;
- when the Flash stream starts to play there are frequent micro-pauses in the play that makes it seem jerky;
- if you use the Back button to move back from the streaming video page you will be logged out; you MUST use the tiny "close" text link instead;

For the above reasons it's best to avoid the "Play" option (and don't click on the thumbnails either as they will start the streams); if you want to stream, left- click on "Download" instead and watch the Windows Media version.

The Men and the Action

Possibly no studio in the world has a more impressive roster of muscular, masculine studs than Raging Stallion. There are more than 440 past and present Raging Stallion models listed in "Stallion Men". Some have chest hair, some not, but there's always rock hard abs, piercings, lots of ink, sexy stubble, and willing bottoms wide open for the abundance of tops. On the model's pages you'll see some of them interviewed, along with links to the DVDs, solos, and hardcore scenes they've starred in.

The guys in these studio productions are found in solo and action scenes shot indoors and out in many locations. They've starred in the famous "Sexpack" DVD series, along with favorites like "Raiders Of The Lost Arse", "Terms Of Endowment" and our personal favorite: "Fuck My Eager Hungry Hole". Each scene includes a brief text description of the action.

Video Details

Viewing quality depends on if you try to "Play" the videos, which we don't recommend, and also on when the content was added. If you left-click "Download" to make the videos start streaming in Windows Media, or if you right-click to download the videos first, the viewing quality is excellent for the most recent videos, particularly any high-definition scenes, but drops off to merely good as you work your way back through the catalog.

These state of the art porn videos cost a lot more to make than the average web episode. The studio quality scenes feature professional camera work, lighting, and video and sound editing, at the level of any television series or movie of the week. Even the stories are better than a movie of the week!

The main content is from the studio's DVD releases, and there is one hell of a lot of it! There are approximately 580 scenes from almost 145 Raging Stallion DVDs included with your membership. Each scene is over 20 minutes in length, and there is now a new video update every two to three days. Note that there is strong DRM on the downloaded vids: you have access to them only as long as you are a member.

Image and Other Content

The image galleries can be found in the "Photosets" section and there are a lot of them: over 900 either digital image galleries of the models or vidcap galleries of a scenes. There are about 30 images each and they are very sharp and available in two sizes, though you cannot download a whole set as a zip file.

As if the deal wasn't sweet enough, Rear Stable throws in more than 30 popular video feeds, not to mention full access to the other Man Sex Pass sites. In addition, you'll find close to 300 on-demand cam shows archived in the "Men Live" area. These are informal shows in which your favorite Stallion model performs for up to a full hour. New live shows are performed regularly.

User-friendliness

Aside from the usability issues, the trial that this site offers is very cut-down; you can only view a dozen videos and if you want more you have to pay for a monthly membership. The site does not tell you this before you put your money down for the trial.

Summing Up

Raging Stallion includes a very generous amount of video at a reasonable price, though DRM means you can watch only as long as you're a member. The viewing quality does vary somewhat, with the recent high-definition videos outshining the older ones. Add in the feeds and the other four sites included with your membership, and this site is a good choice for fans of manly men.
