Site Reviews

Fratmen focusses on exclusive solo videos and pics of stunning young jocks filmed in the lush surroundings of fine California homes. There's a glossy, luxurious quality to these (over 225) videos that will add fuel to your college boy fantasies. These industrious young studs do double duty by appearing on a live webcam jerk-off show each evening. The 600 archived shows are very sexy, unguarded, and revealing.

The Fratmen tour gives you eight video captures from every video session on the site, so you'll have a very good idea of what these collegiate boys get up to inside the members' area.

Finding the videos on Fratmen takes a minute to figure out. Just like in the tour, the home page has thumbnail photos of each video session; click on a thumbnail to get to the model page. What is unusual here is that the content is always divided up into two pages, one for pictures and the other for videos. Click on the text links at the top of the page to switch between "pictures" and "video".

The full-length choices, "On Demand" (streaming) and "Download," are found below the little Quicktime embedded video screen and these are what you'll find of the most interest. There are also Quicktime video clips and that is what all the video captures on the right side of the screen represent. Click on one of these images to select a clip. Then click "Click Here to Start Video" on the actual video screen to get the clip going. You may have to click the Play button as well.

The sultry expressions on the Fratmen's faces invite you into a solo fantasy interlude, where the atmosphere is quiet, sophisticated, and erotically charged. The guys are featured on their own under the cascading outdoor shower, at poolside, or on the bed in one of the luxurious bedrooms.

There's no interaction with the camera, no exaggerated moaning, just a very hot guy, the sound of water trickling over his smooth skin, or wavelets lazily lapping the side of the pool as he slowly brings himself to a shuddering orgasm. Each full-length video has three scenes, usually with two cumshots.

Unfortunately, there is very little information about these guys, either as a written introduction or a video interview. Perhaps that is meant to open up your fantasy without restrictions. Howevever -- since the site added live shows and a blog -- you do have the chance to get to know the fratmen a lot better. Check out young, blond muscular, and massively sexy Skylar in his Fratmen episode - and then in his live shows. Sweet, sincere, no tattoos, this guy is crazy-hot -- with a big dick to boot!

At review time there were 225 videos (along with photosets), each about 40 minutes in length. The site is updated at least weekly, and usually more often, with a new episode -- and there are live shows 5 nights a week.

Video will stream or download in Windows Media format. These are full-length movies. For the best quality, choose the downloads, which play at 1000 kbps in a default window size of 640x480. The streams are 750 kbps; these also play in a 640x480 window (but the quality is lower than the download). You can also stream in Quicktime format but these are clips only and play in a small embedded player. There is no DRM on the videos.

The video quality is very good to excellent throughout, with superb lighting and deft single-camera work. These beauties get the treatment from the camera that they deserve -- as they make sweet love to themselves.

Each model page has a link to a gallery of 30 photos. These professionally shot, high quality photos really do illustrate the stunning good looks of these men. The newest ones are much larger than they used to be at 720x480, but the older ones are still miniscule at 320x240.

The livecam show starts at 7 p.m. Pacific Time five nights a week night and focuses on one of the Fratmen "frat"-ernizing with himself; not only can you watch him live, but hear him as well, as the stream includes audio. This amounts to self-made porn and the hundreds of hours of archives add up to a big bonus, though of course the video quality is much poorer than for the regular videos. There's also a video blog, which has some great potential, showing the guys out and about in the real world, but the Quicktime videos were acting flaky when we tried it out.

Fratmen offers an abundance of college men with really cute faces and lean, muscular, builds. Better quality video, larger pics and daily live shows mean the site has improved a lot since we looked at it last. If mostly solo is okay with you, then Fratmen is a goldmine of male beauty.
