Reasons not to join this or any other Male Spectrum site:

One: It has been 13 months since the original GayDemon review and the total number videos has gone from 16 to 17. One update in over a year.

Two: On sign-up page, prechecked boxes for two sites will result in additional credit charges of $38.95 in 24 hours and $39.73 in another 2 days.

Three: The bottom of the Extras page says "A name you can trust. No spam, no selling your info, no fraudulent charges."

Four: Male Spectrum hosts almost a dozen sites and most of the few original videos are recycled and posted across all sites.

This is a fairly good, if not (yet) great, site. My main gripe about it concerns a lack of brightness on, not just a few, but many of the videos, especially those on the bonus reality sites. And that's a real shame, since the guys and the action are pretty damn hot. Well, from what I can actually see anyway. It's not a matter, I don't believe, that the scenes were badly lit, but rather the way the videos have been processed. The short video previews available on the site's tour are so clear and bright, yet the full versions of some of those same videos within the site are decidedly much darker and colour saturated. Another thing - the picture thumbs for most of the videos have the word "downloadable" on them, but many of those videos are only available in streaming flash versions, although downloads for those are promised to “be available within 30 days.” Thirty days from when is not indicated.

As warned by Gaydemon’s reviewer, it's good to be very aware of the pre-checked boxes for trial subscriptions to other sites on the sign-up page. Besides the 2 obvious ones at the bottom of the main page, there’s a sneaky 3rd one that pops up on a separate "you’re almost finished” page after clicking the “compete this order” button. Like the small print on all contracts, things don't get much more unfair and underhanded than that.

A full subscription to Rookie Guys may have been $39.95 per month when the site was reviewed, but it is now more reasonably priced at $29.95. Still somewhat steep, there IS a lot of bang for the buck on this site. But oh, how much bigger that bang would be if ONLY more of what’s going on in many of the videos could be more plainly seen.
