GayDemon's review of Rate These Guys

Rate These Guys is a site with an interesting concept. Their guys are basically amateurs who make short videos in different niches, and if one of their videos is rated hottest, they win a cash prize. The categories range from things like stripping to pissing, talking about their nastiest sexual experience or showing off their assholes, and each of the guys has videos in multiple categories. Since there's money involved for the hottest videos, the performers do their best to one-up the other guys. The tour doesn't give us details like update frequency, video format or whether the movies are downloadable, but I like the concept - and the men look like real amateurs, always a plus, so join me as I take a closer look at Rate These Guys.

The Rate These Guys member area is pretty intuitive. There are links at the top of the page followed by a welcome and list of recent winners and features. Next comes the latest updates, each with a big pic and a nice long description. The site adds a new clip every 2 to 3 days, and you can browse the content by model or by category. There are currently 19 guys and 145 video clips, and there's a section where you can view the winning videos.

The videos here are offered in WMV and Flash formats. There are 2 sizes of downloadable WMV's, the larger of which is shown at 960x540 at about 2 Mbps, and the smaller are also pretty good sized. For the most part, the videos are good amateur quality, although some have lighting that could be better. Sound is pretty good, and about what I'd expect for homemade videos.

And for those who prefer to watch rather than download, there are streaming Flash videos shown at about 700x390 that aren't bad at all. BTW, many of the videos are between 1 and 3 minutes in length.

The Rate These Guys are regular guys you might see anywhere. Most are between 18 and 25, range from clean cut to shaggy, are pretty fit and include college students, shop workers, military men and one bank teller. Most of the models are from the UK, which means accents and uncut cocks, and one thing they have in common is that this would be an interesting way to make some money. Some are definitely more comfortable on camera than others, especially when it comes to jerking off or showing off their assholes. Also expect interesting "intro" videos where we get to know each guy, shower videos and I especially liked the story videos where the guys tell us their hottest sexual experiences.

This site didn't have any real issues, but there were a couple things that I'd have liked to see. First off, the videos in each category (called genre here) are not listed in date order. I'd have liked to have the option to view in date or rating order. Also in the model index I'd have liked to see a full profile for each guy.

Rate These Guys features amateurs who work hard to get members to rate their videos highly because each model wants to win cash prizes. They'll try and go further, show off more skin and get nastier than the other guys in the site. Unlike other sites, here each video is short and in a particular category, and each model appears in multiple categories. The site offers 145 downloadable video clips in a variety of niches, plus updates every 2 to 3 days. While some of the content isn't exactly porn, there's masturbation and anal videos, not to mention pissing, showers and more. If you like real amateur men in home videos, or like the idea of the contest, Rate These Guys is definitely fresh and interesting.
