The Naked Frathouse tour offers preview pics of every episode from their member area, each with a juicy description plus the date it was added to the site. There's also a pic from the next update. The action is a mix of gay hardcore sex and solo guys jerking off, and every episode has a short sample video. The join page offers new videos every week, "tons" of archived videos, and 2 to 3 live shows weekly. Sound good? Then join me for a look at Naked Frathouse!
The member home page has a menu above and to the left of the latest update, which is shown with a good sized pic, the date it was added and a description. Below is a pic from next week's update followed by several more updates and links to several more pages of videos.
There are currently 28 vids, and the site adds a new episode every 2 to 8 days on no particular schedule, but there were 4 new videos added last month and 3 so far this month as of the 21st. You can see the schedule for each week's live shows by clicking THIS WEEK’S SHOWS on the left or LIVE SHOWS above. The FREE WEBCAMS link leads offsite to a live site where you must pay for full nudity or action.
The Naked Frat House videos are offered in both WMV and Quicktime formats. The WMVs are shown at either 640x480 or 640x360 with a bitrate of 981k at average quality or a little better at their original size, although enlarged they lose some sharpness.
The newest Quicktime videos are HD, shown at 1280x720 at 1.1 Mbps, a bitrate which is barely higher than the smaller WMVs so that while the HD Quicktime videos are much bigger then the WMVs, they are somewhat lower in quality. Quality is average for the older Quicktime vids, which are shown at 640x480 at the same bitrate as the larger ones, but because of the smaller size they actually look better. All the videos are DRM-free full scenes.
Each of the videos comes with a set of pics. Some of the pics are amateur quality digital stills shown at about 530x800, others are vidcaps shown at 800x592 at average vidcap quality or a little better. Lighting is always a little on the dim side, but not dark enough to be a problem, and each set of pics can be browsed as a gallery or downloaded as a zip file.
Naked Frat House has 3 scheduled live shows per week - this week and last week they were on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I caught this week's Thursday show, which was scheduled for 6 PM and got started only a few minutes late. The show screen is shown at 320x240 at pretty good quality. The guy I watched is Mark, who's says he's straight, 25 years old and very low key. He's got a beard, and seemed more like your regular amateur dude than a college or frat boy, but he did talk about loud to the guys on chat a lot once he got warmed up. After 30 minutes, Mark had not pulled out his cock - first he reached into his jeans, then opened them and stroked his cock in his underwear, and finally got naked and started jerking. The cam doesn't seem to be controllable, so there were no closeups or camera motion throughout the show.
What I'd really like to see here is 2 to 3 weekly updates of replayed live shows from the previous week, even if they're the same smallish size as the live shows. The archive could be listed on the LIVE SHOWS page, and it would add up quick at 3 per week.
I found a couple issues here. First, I was unable to find the TONS of archived videos offered on the tour. Also as mentioned, the FREE WEBCAMS links and the MORE WEBCAMS links on the cam pages actually lead to another site, and action costs money. There is one odd thing - the downloadable Quicktime videos are packed in zip files, but this isn't at all a dealbreaker.
Naked Frat House has some things going for it - downloadable DRM-free videos, 2 to 3 scheduled weekly live shows with chat, and I believe all their content is exclusive. The site currently offers 28 episodes, each with videos and pics, and updates an average of 4 times a month, although a couple months there were only 3 updates. I got some results from the search box on the main page, but sometimes I didn't get results when one would have expected them. While the guys here aren't all the kind of guys I usually see either at local colleges or on frat and college boy websites, there's a preview of every episode on the tour, so you can get an idea of the guys you'll find inside the site. And if you like the guys on the tour, chances are you'll like what you find in the member area of Naked Frathouse.
Things we liked:
- Exclusive content
- Videos are downloadable
- No DRM used
- Can do 4+ simultaneous downloads
- Scheduled live shows
Things we didn't like:
- Irregular updates
