review of FratMen, 2010-03-20

It's been a year and a half since we last visited Fratmen. In that time, there have been some improvements, but the important stuff hasn't changed. Fratmen still has some of the most gorgeous jocks and college-aged guys around. There are plenty of slender athletic or muscular bodies, model-quality faces and a feeling from the guys... not exactly of innocence, but the guys of Fratmen are not pornstar or hardened by life. They seem natural and approachable. Let's log in and get a closer look.

The member area and the tour look exactly the same, which is a good thing since both are very simple. You'll find the schedule and link for the live shows on the left side of the page and there are thumbs of all the guys on the right and a few text links at the very top right. Click on any guy to be taken to the page where you'll find his videos and links to his pics.

Sometimes when I review a site I find a couple guys who really stand out. That's not the case on Fratmen - because pretty much all of the models would stand out anywhere. They look like the hottest of the 19 and 21 year olds you might see at the beach or playing baseball. As I take a look at some of the guys, I see plenty of washboard abs, boyish smiles and hard cocks. A lot of the shoots start outdoors at a park or by the pool but they all end up indoors and in private where they can jack off for the camera.

When you go to the guys' pages, you will find yourself on the model's gallery. There is a big pic shown on the left and thumbs on the right. The older big pics are shown at 240x360, which is a little on the small side. Good news is that the more recent sets show the bigger pics at 480x720, double the size of the older pics and a welcome change. All the pics look good and really capture the essence of the guys.

To get to each model's vids, just click the video link on the upper right. The page will change and you'll find an embedded player on the left that plays the model's video in streaming Quicktime clips. Below you will find links to WMV versions of the movie, including a downloadable version and a streaming version. On the right at the top of each page are links including links to each guy's pics. Below that are thumbs for each Quicktime clip so you can easily move from clip to clip.

I decided to start with Josh. He has a tan body and starts off carrying his surfboard. As he peels off his wetsuit, you can see that Josh is really really well-built. He stretches and lies in the sun, then goes in and takes a shower before lying on crisp white sheets and masturbating till he shoots his load in a video that feels like you're right there in the room.

I decided to check the pics next. Each Fratmen model pics page is a thumbnail gallery with 28 thumbs on the right and the bigger pic showing on the left. The bigger pic you see when you click a thumb is definitely on the small side, shown at 240x360. While the pics are small, they are cropped to perfection. They showed all parts of the shoot from the clothed start to undressing to showering to the cumshot. These pics are probably as good as most pics I've seen in magazines, and I enjoyed them a lot.

Another feature I really liked is the live show archive. You click LIVE on the left side of the home page and - unless there's a live show in progress - click the archive link at the upper right. A page pops up with a selection of 42 guys and special presentations, all of which are the same guys you can see in the pics and videos except for Jasun, who is the host of the site and is involved with every facet of Fratmen.

Most of the guys has multiple live shows which you can select by date. Some of the guys, like Leo, have over 30 shows. There is sound, which is cool when the guys talk to members - or in one case, sing. And of course, sound is a plus as the men of Fratmen grab their cocks and jerk off. The live shows are nice and long and you get to see and hear the models in a very different way than in the videos. The archived shows are shown in WMV format at average quality and they stream smoothly and each one is around an hour in length.

Fratmen has added 101 updates since last review a year and a half ago, well over the promised 1 update per week. They've also added 2-guy shows and special events featuring several of the guys messing around, jacking off and having a good time. All the videos are now offered in a downloadable 640x480 WMV full scene that uses no DRM, and the newest pic sets offer bigger pics. The bottom line - Fratmen is one site that just keeps getting better and better!

While the video and pic quality is good, the best thing about Fratmen is the guys. They're cute, fresh and hot with great bodies and each one brings himself to a climax so hot, you'll want to watch the videos with kleenex in hand. You'll find 221 episodes inside the site at this time, each with videos and pics. Many of the guys can also be found in the live show archive, where you can find over 300 more videos. One thing for sure - if you like 18 - 22 year old jocks and athletes, you should definitely check out Fratmen!
