GayDemon's review of Academy Men

Academy Men may be one of the hardest gay bondage sites on the internet. This site is one-of-a-kind, featuring cop BDSM fantasies, and including men being arrested or detained, put in rough bondage and a variety of forced situations. While the content here are acted out scenarios, they action is impressive. The feel is real as men are captured, put in extreme bondage and taught a lesson. There are situations that may shock many, including kidnap fantasies that include drugging the victim. This site goes all the way to deliver exactly what it promises. If you're not faint of heart, join me for a closer look at Academy Men!

The member area menu is on the left side of the pages, and on the main page you will find a list of the latest updates along with the dates they were added. You'll also find links to other sections of the site on the page. The main sections are shown with large thumbs of guys being restrained, forced and jailed. A lot of the videos here are from DVDs made by Academy Entertainment and can only be seen here. There is a link called Catalog to buy the DVDs if you're interested.

There are 2 video sections - the video clips section with well over 225 1-2 minute clips and the NOW SHOWING section. The videos are in MP4 format, and are shown at 320x213 at between 760k and just under 800k, quality from amateur to good amateur. All videos are downloadable and DRM-free. Several clips make up one full scene, and the NOW SHOWING section consists of 43 more scenes, described as "featurette-length" on the site. Each of these are a full scene from a DVD, and are not the same videos as the clips.

In addition to the videos, Academy Men also offers members over 282 pic sets of overpowered, jailed and restrained prisoners being worked over. Sets offer from 6 to over 40 pics, each of helpless prisoners, tough cops and plenty of men into bondage who are just too real to be models. Some of the pics are smallish vidcaps from the videos, but a lot of the sets are digital stills. Those pics are mostly around 640x480 and average or better quality. Photography is amateur, but that works for this kind of niche, giving it a more realistic feel.

There's a gritty reality feel to most of the videos. The action, the way the performers talk, the clothes, the very real prisons - the Academy Men videos are almost documentary in their feel. And the men are very masculine, the bondage expert and extreme and when you see the police run into a room to arrest a miscreant, they act and sound like real cops. These are not sympathetic PC police, either, and they know just how to treat their prisoners. Of course, sometimes a prisoner escapes and gets his revenge. The site doesn't contain full nudity, but that doesn't change my opinion of how hot the content is.

If you'd like to browse pics by category, including Cigars, Boots, Bikers, Cops, Prisoners, etc, go to the MugShots section. There you will also find one category called Face shots, which contains pics of members, each of which is linked to the member's profile so you can learn more about each member and see more of their pics if they posted more.

Academy Men includes a forum, a list of bondage community events, pics for your iPod and also member profiles so that guys can meet other like-minded guys. You can pm members and receive their messages in your own priviate message box on the site. There's a section called BeefyCub Photos that offers 4 additional galleries that are definitely worth checking out. And there's also a page about the late Chip Weichelt, the founder of Academy Entertainment and The Academy Training Center.

I did run into one issue - the download speeds. I averaged 75k, and on other sites I sometimes download 20 times that fast. While the videos aren't that big, I still had to wait several minutes for the full scenes.

One thing worth mentioning is that this site has only 2 membership options - $45 for 6 months or a $79 for a year. While these options are more than most sites charge for a month, they're both less than $10 per month, so I'd say that if you can afford it, it's not a bad deal.

While I'd like the movies to be shown at a bigger size, I have no real complaints about Academy Men. For those who want to see rough and forceful bondage and very real cops, I have never seen a site that comes close to Academy Men. The updates are usually short clips and pic sets, but they are weekly and you can browse new members. If you have fantasies of being roughly arrested or kidnapped, manhandled and brutally restrained, or of being the officers doing the restraining, it doesn't get any better than Academy Men. Be sure and check out the site - you are sure to be impressed!
