site reviews > Fetish > Fetish Lad

Fetish Lad is a site with a little more to offer than your average fetish website. For one thing, the content is exclusive and is shot by the site owners. For another, these guys really know their fetishes and bdsm, and their content is for real and covers normal stuff like feet, leather, smoking, fisting, dildos and spanking and more exotic stuff like breath control and mummification. There's also plenty of dildo play, fucking, sucking and cumshots galore and there are members pics and videos.

The menu on the left side of the member home page is almost the same as the menu on the tour. You'll find this menu on most of the pages inside the site. On the right side of the page you'll find all sorts of site news, updates and even fetish club events in the UK.

While the menu is easy to read and use, there are a couple issues. One is that it's Flash, which means many of us have to click the button once to activate it and then click it again to go to a page. The other issue is that some links in the content section - Streaming porn and Fetish Fone in the Erotica section - don't lead to content, they lead to ads.

There are 2 video sections inside Fetish Lad - Fetishlad videos are videos produced for the site and the Member video exchange is actually movies of members who upload them for others to see. Let's start out by checking out the Fetishlad videos.

There are 90 videos in the member area at this time. The movies are shown in both Flash and WMV, and I particularly like the Flash player used for the Flash videos. When you mouse over the video itself, translucent controls appear. And these are also some of the best-looking Flash videos I've seen. I actually might have preferred them just a little to the WMVs, which are also good quality.

All the movies here are streaming with no downloadable versions offered. The older movies are shown at 320x240 and the WMVs have a bitrate of around 340k for the oldest ones and 512k for the somewhat more recent ones. Both Flash and WMV vids look fairly good for amateur quality vids. Then about halfway up the page we get to the newer videos.

The newer vids are offered in 2 sizes - the same size as the older videos (which they call "Normal size") and a 640x480 version (called Big size). Both formats look good with good sound. The WMVs have a bitrate of 1473k and the Flash videos look about the same or a tiny bit better. There's no DRM used here and the videos play smoothly. These movies are really hot, so it's a real shame that members don't get to download them.

The videos have a wide variety of fetish, bondage and BDSM action from fisting to bondage to leather to assplay. There's also flogging, spanking, piss, cum, cocksucking, men in suits, guys wearing kits. I found gas mask and breath control vids, self sucking, feet, fucking - the list goes on and on.

The Member video exchange is the second movie section, and the vids here are mostly WMVs shown at 320x240 with a bitrate of around 340k. Some of these movies are very short - 15 to 30 seconds - and some are longer at 1 or 2 minutes. These movies are all site members and if amateur masturbation turns you on, this is as real as it gets.

Most of the pic sets are found in Fetish pictures. The sets are listed by by category and within the category are listed by text links. The pics here are on the small side - around 320x480 - and amateur quality, so expect some lighting issues. Not only are the models mostly amateur and very into what they're doing, but I get the impression the photographers are, also.

There are 2 more small photo sections. Amateur pictures shows 7 amateur guys including a muscle bear, a couple scally lads, a couple subs and a guy who can suck his own cock. Voyeur pictures show guys on the beach in speedos or naked, there are pics of army guys on the streets of London, construction and other workers, gloryholes and pics from some Gay Pride events. A lot of the pics in this section show guys fully dressed in uniforms or work clothes.

In addition to the pics and videos, members get access to a directory of fetish escorts located primarily in the UK. Profiles of each escort includes photos and direct contact info. There is also a small collection of BDSM and fetish stories from members. Last there's a section called services. Here you'll find 2 sections worthy of note - Fetish information and Fetish clubs. If you're in the UK, you'll find the club list and list of stores in the UK to buy fetish gear. And members will find a faq listed on the lower left that includes a BDSM/fetish glossary and some handy safety tips.

Fetish Lad offers members a collection of 76 original fetish and BDSM videos that can be watched in WMV or Flash, but unfortunately the vids are not downloadable. In addition to photos, members can view other members' vids and upload their own, and there is access to UK fetish escort profiles and a fetish/BDSM glossary with safety info. The site usually updates twice per month. The videos and pics here are original with plenty of fetish/BDSM action. There are some issues with the site but the content is hot. If fetishes and kink turn you on, be sure and check out Fetish Lad - it's one of the better gay fetish sites out there!
