GayDemon's review of Flava Men

Flava Men is a bLatino website featuring horny black and Latin thugs and amateurs who jack off on camera, and some of whom suck each others' cocks and fuck. If you're curious about the quality of the models, they're hot! You can preview some of them on the tour, in the Free Stuff section. Not only are there a few sample pics of each guy and gay sex session, but you can also read a little about them as well as reading their interviews. It's been a while since our last visit, so I'm off to take an up-close and personal look at the member area of Flava Men.

When you log into the member area of Flava Men, you'll find the tour menu on the left side of the page and 4 options on the right. They are Magazine, Calendars, Models and Articles. Magazine presents the articles, pics, photo sets and model info in a magazine format which I thought was creative and interesting. There are currently 24 quarterly magazines available. If you prefer to browse the content as a website rather than in magazine format, the Models and Articles sections allow members to browse all the magazine content in a more traditional web layout.

Flava Men Magazine works a bit differently than other sites. Instead of weekly updates, this site releases a new issue each season - Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. The recent editions mostly offer 4 shoots, each with videos and pics, and some of the older editions offer more. Each issue also offers stories, editorials and reviews just like a real magazine. There are currently 24 issues - 8 more than on our last visit - and I counted a total of 114 shoots.

Each of the shoots - mostly single models, but more gay sex scenes more recently - has its own page. On it is a description, model profile or profiles and a brief interview plus links to videos and to gallery pages. The videos are available in your choice of WMV or Quicktime, and can be downloaded. Older videos are shown at 320x240 at amateur to good amateur quality. As we move forward, the videos are offered in 2 sizes and the high quality are larger, now shown at 480x360. The newer videos are bigger and better, often very good amateur quality. the largest WMV's offered in HD at 1280x720 at 5 Mbps and the large Quicktimes shown at 768x432 at 2.12 Mbps, each also available in at least 1 smaller size, as well. All the videos are downloadable full scenes, use no DRM and all the ones I watched played smoothly.

The photos here are digital stills, which means that they were shot with a digital camera rather than being taken directly from the video. The pics are shown at about 500x750, the horizontal pics a tiny bit smaller, and are mostly good amateur quality or better. They can be enjoyed by browsing thumbnailed galleries or by watching a hands-free slideshow. And when you find a model you like, you can download his pic set in a zip file.

Most of the Flava Men models are either muscular or slender black or Latin amateurs. While most of the action is solo, there are some hardcore shoots involving 2 or more ethnic models sucking cock and fucking. The photographer and director do a good job of capturing the guys and the action, and there are enough closeups and cumshots.

For those who don't like to browse the content in a magazine format, the Models section is an episode index. You can browse the models alphabetically and check out all their pics and vids as well as having access to their profiles and interviews. And there's an Articles section, too, in case you want to read the reviews and articles.

There's one other section I haven't yet really mentioned - the articles. They include advice columns, fiction, letters to the editor, articles about things like being with a pornstar, phone sex and other magazine style articles. The rest of the extras Flava Men has to offer are also offered to non-members in the free section: a club guide with listings offered in the U.S. by state or in Brazil or Canada, and although I didn't find it complete, it also listed some gay clubs I haven't been to yet. And there's the calendars. These are available in the free section but are not linked correctly in the member area, and if you use a desktop calendar, the pics are hot!

The men of Flava Men are very hot, the content is exclusive and the magazine format is appealing. The update schedule is unusual - the site has recently been adding 4 updates per season - which is 3 months - which adds up to 16 updates per year. On the other hand, there's over 100 videos and pic sets, and the membership price is very reasonable, so it sort of works out. There are 114 shoots inside the site, most of which include both photos and videos. The 111 DRM-free videos are downloadable, and about half are offered in HD. If you love black and Latino men, Flava Men is definitely worth checking out!
