Coco DormWe're taking a look at Coco Dorm, a site featuring mostly black but also some Latino guys. While Coco Dorm prides itself on being the only all black and latin Live house, they have plenty of both good quality video and pic content, as well as special features like blogs and video confessions from the guys. All the models are lean, dark skinned and very hot, and the tour previews the latest models and "dorm dudes" with pics and descriptions. Join me as I re-visit Coco Dorm to see what's been happening since our last visit.

The member home page menu is on the left side of the page, the latest photo sets and streams on the right. There are links to the models, the live cams, models' blogs, content and there's also a member forum. There are no update dates on the site, but that doesn't mean they don't update. There are 2527 videos in 3 sections of Coco Dorm - 322 videos in VIDEOS, 2040 in STREAMS and 165 in the LIVE CAM ARCHIVE. The site also has 330 photo sets, and there's been an average of one video and one photo set added per week plus multiple archived scheduled shows are added each week. Not sure how often cam stream replays are added to STREAMS, but it looks like several per week also.

Let's start by talking about the videos. Over half are available in WMV format, shown at 1280x720, which is HD. These are good amateur quality, and there are 2 smaller sizes which are sometimes both WMVs and sometimes a WMV and a Quicktime video. The oldest videos are small, shown at 330x248 at around 1.4 Mbps, and are short - sometimes as short as a minute. These are also good amateur quality but the lighting is amateur. The videos are all downloadable full scenes, DRM-free and have good sound.

Coco DormCoco Dorm has 5 cams that are live all the time. There's a shower cam, computer cam and 3 bed cams, and I mostly found guys awake and happening at the computer cam. There are 2 more cams - one used for scheduled live shows and one for when the guys are on the road. The live cams stream in WMV format with a resolution of 320x240 at 221k, and they look okay, although I wouldn't go full screen with them. It doesn't appear you can chat with the guys, but you can watch them hang out, read their emails and whatever they feel like. And the guy who's on right now - who's very cute - is checking his email naked.

And let's not forget those 330 photo sets, many of which are good amateur quality and shown at around 500x750. The pics capture the action, and there are plenty of closeups of big black cocks, always a plus. While it's hard to light black skin well, these guys do their best, and each photo set can be browsed as a gallery or downloaded as a zip file.

In addition to the other videos, the STREAMS section offers downloadable videos of any of the unscheduled live shows caught on cam. If the guys get naked, mess around, decide to stroke their cocks while on cam, these videos are added to the STREAMS section. They're the same size as the streaming videos, with bitrates of around 300k and there are a LOT of them.

In addition to regular content, there is a section called CONFESSIONS where you'll find 53 videos of guys talking about themselves and their sexual fantasies, and sometimes strip and stroke a little. These are nice long videos from around 20 minutes to almost an hour. There's also the blogs, where the guys can write about whatever they like from their vacation to who at Coco Dorm has the best dick. The blogs are upated irregularly, but they're definitely another big plus. And let's not forget the forum, where you can get support for video and other issues, the WANNABEES where you can vote for guys who hope to live at Coco Dorm, and you can read about previeous models.

Coco DormThere were a few things that could have been better. The scheduled live shows are sometimes cancelled or late, there's no chat with the models on live cam, and the videos listed in the archive don't mention the guys in them or show a thumb. Also there are complaints on the forum about some cancelled scheduled live shows. Still, there's a lot of content here of all sorts, all featuring black and Latin thugs.

I like Coco Dorm - there's so many kinds of content, hot black guys and exclusive content. The pic sets are good stuff, and over half the downloadable videos are HD and DRM-free. There are live cams 24/7 plus several scheduled live shows per week, although the one I waited for didn't happen. There are also well over 2000 archived live shows in the archives and streams sections, and there are features that add a lot of personality to the site - the blogs and the confessions sections. But most important are the men of Coco Dorm. I'd say they're some of the hottest black thugs around and they've got the attitude, hard bodies and harder cocks. Why not check out the guys of Coco Dorm - I think you'll like what you see!

USED TO BE a great site....limping along now..with indifferent models...with half the live shows being of models that left at the beginning of the year

I think Joe's comment is racist. Black on black love is beautiful. If I have to see another celebrated story of white gay love (Brokeback Mountain) or the reliable, American ideal of a gay couple (Ellen+Portia) I am probably going to move to Canada.

Hated it. I love black and latin guys, but sorry, I'm not interested in seeing them do each other. Why are there no white and black men sites? Interracial gay scenes are some of the hottest out there, yet the gay porn market is all or nothing - either all white, all latin or all black. Again, yuck. Seeing two black guys fuck each other makes me want to hurl.
