Haze HimThink college frat parties gone bad, all your sexy dorm fantasies come true and then think wild party, and you're getting close to what Haze Him focuses on. It offers us "Real tapes of college debauchery and fraternity hazing", and encourages real college guys to take part and earn money. This hazing involves pranks, tricks, lots of nudity and a goodly amount of gay sex with guys going nude in front of the rest of the fraternity and having to suck cock while their buddies look on. The action looks authentic and the tour promises great things.

I logged into a network home page, a very clean and white affair where Haze Him was but one of the nine Big Daddy sites available with my membership. Clicking to the main home page I also found a clean, white page with 32 of the 62 current episodes shown in thumbnails, with titles and the amount of views. Since we last took a look inside this site a load more content has been added, though the upload dates are no longer shown, there is a note at the top of the page telling you the date of the most recent update, but that's it for upload news. What you do have on your home page however are sample shots from videos from this and your bonus sites. These are arranged in a right column and a simple top menu. Navigation around this site and network is easy, and it's also a simple affair to get from one networked site to the next. To stay within Haze Him, use the home page list of videos as navigation; if you click on ‘Updates' in the main menu you get to the full list of updates from all nine sites.

Haze HimMovies here are presented in streaming Flash, and while they are not DRM protected, there is still no sign of downloadable movies. The full length scenes are shown at 720 x 400 and the clips at 0202.q2 pixels less. The clips are on a separate page and you find the link in the top navigation area. You will also notice three sizes in which to stream; 360p, 480p and 720p. The quality is probably better than you would expect from hand-held, amateur filming. The sound, especially when the party has really started, can be a bit tinny and ‘thin' but again, you'd probably expect that from this reality style filming. Not all of the action is sexual, there is sometimes lengthy fun and games action before the sexy stuff starts. You're going to be better off on a faster connection for streaming and, like me, you'll probably wish there were downloadable movies.

You've got two choices for viewing the Haze Him images. There are digital stills with the older videos shown at 800 x 600, and the more recent ones up to 2,000 x 1,333. There are also sets of screen caps shown at 720 x 406, and these are lower in quality than the digital stills, but act as a guide to the action. There were no zip file downloads and no slideshows, and I came across some broken links to the individual images, with images being slow to load and eventually timing out. A temporary problem I hope, and the pics I did see were mainly decent quality and focused.

Haze HimThe action is exactly what you want to see from a reality party site, though at times you will be forgiven for thinking that it is all a set up; some of the ‘dialogue' between guys at the start of the scene gives that away. But once the scenes are up and running, there's the humiliation games, the heady mix of straight guys and gay guys, sex games and then full on intimate hardcore moments, sometimes in full view of the other frat guys. Drinking and girls are sometimes involved, and you're watching parties here, not just a couple of models having sex. And it's what gives the scenes their reality feel and makes the movies atmospheric. You're better off starting at the beginning, playing all the way through and soaking up that atmosphere, rather than jumping around movies to try and catch just the sexy parts.

Let's talk extras. The top menu takes you to Episodes or Sites, and these extras really give you value for money. You've got nine sites that are easy to access and that include more reality fun and games, straight guys going gay for pay, real user submitted videos and pics, big cocks and interracial sex, to name some of the content. To see the entire content of the network simply click ‘Episodes' and there you will find 415 episodes throughout the network to stream.

Did the site have any issues? First off, there's a pre-checked offer on the join page. Next, there are no dates on the updates, so no way to know exactly when new content is added. Something important to note is that trial memberships aI was unable to open up several galleries, all I got were placeholder images and no actual photos or screen caps. You can only stream these movies and faster connections will fare better. And probably most important, I did not see any upload dates for movies.

Haze Him has added a load more good content since our last visit 18 months ago. It now has 62 episodes (that's 52 more videos) of around 35 minutes in length, and eight bonus sites to help keep members busy. The site is still maintaining its fun and sexy, horny and wild feel, it's got atmosphere and hot frat guys and it delivers on its tour promises. It doesn't, though, allow you to download the videos. But, add in the extras and you are looking at an original site, with exclusive content that appears to be updating pretty well. The bottom line - Haze Him is well worth a visit if you're into college hazing, frat parties, and straight boys getting wild with other guys!

Things we liked:

  • Exclusive content
  • Realistic frat hazing and college parties
  • Eight bonus sites added since our last visit

Things we didn't like:

  • Limited trial access
  • Pre-checked offer on join page
  • Videos not offered for download
  • Trial memberships recur at $10 more per month than monthly membership

BEWARE, rude and abusive when you tell them you want to cancel.

JayNYC | 15 Dec 2011 | My rating: 4 out of 5 stars

All you people complaining about only being able to watch these videos streaming are idiots. There are plenty of Firefox add-ons (and maybe for other browsers) that let you "capture" Flash video and save it in one of a number of formats (like WMV). I think the program I use is called Download Helper.

Also, anyone who really thought these are real amateur straight guys is also an idiot. I'll admit I don't recognize any of the actors and I watch my fair share of Internet porn. And half the guys are too chubby (which I like) or not good looking enough to be on "100s" of other sites. Not to mention that many of them can't get hard (well, they're supposed to be straight...)

I do think the limited access trial is a bad business practice and update frequency is lacking. So I just join for a month a couple of times per year to catch up and download the new videos.

GayDemon | 29 Sep 2011 | My rating: 3 out of 5 stars

I do understand the rating of 7 out of 10 might seem a bit odd considering what we tell in the review. But the problem with average ratings will always be that it might not convey a site properly because some parts of the site might be very good, video quality for example.. while the billing options or something else is very bad. The average score still becomes fairly high thanks to the good parts of the site. It's a fault of average scores but I can't see any better way of doing it.
