This one is for all you spanking fans out there! Today we're checking out a site called Tropixxx VIP that offers up exclusive all-male corporal punishment with an emphasis on hand-spankings, belt spankings and OTK. There are 8 tasty but short sample videos, each shown with a small preview thumb along with the dates each of these videos was added to the site. Each sample can be watched in your choice of WMV or Quicktime and has good sound so expected to be tempted! Now let's take an up close and personal look at the member area of Tropixxx VIP.
The member area navigation is on the left and in addition to the pics and videos sections includes choices like Candid Clips and Bloopers, a member forum, Fiction and Sigma Phi Tau, which are member submitted videos. On the right side of the page is a message from the site owner and below that is a very handy link to know about - the link to the updates page if you want to see all the recent additions laid out in a very easy to use list format. Tropixxx VIP offers no filler so let's move on to the content.
The movies are offered in your choice of WMV of Quicktime. The videos are downloadable with no DRM used. They are shown at a screen size of 320x240 with a streaming speed of 423k and played at their original size, I'd say they're mostly amateur to good amateur quality with good sound. Unfortunately a lot of the WMVs are offered in an embedded player that stretches the videos to make them seem larger and the quality is lower that way. That means if you prefer the videos to look sharp and clear, the Quicktime versions are the way to go and if you prefer size over quality, the WMVs are the way to go.
The only movies that aren't offered in WMV and Quicktime are the user submitted videos in the Sigma Phi Tau section. There are only 2 and they are offered for Real Player and are much bigger in resolution and a little better in quality, too. On the other hand - and not surprisingly - these videos are amateur quality photography. That makes sense since they were shot by site members. I enjoyed the Candid Clips and Bloopers and only wished there were more of them as I'm a sucker for behind the scenes stuff. They're not long but they are interesting.
The pics here are vidcaps taken directly from the videos. As with most vidcaps, these are lower quality than digital stills. You will see lines in areas where there was action because the videos were interlaced. The pics are 640x480 and are shown in thumbnailed galleries only 3 thumbs wide and 5 rows down. There are no zip files or slideshows.
Tropixxx VIP members also get access to small collection of stories.
Tropixxx VIP also includes a link to the VIP Members Only Store. While the prices here are extremely reasonable for gay DVDs, I would like to point out that non-members can access the url given for the VIP Members Only Store - which means it's not members only, but does still offer good deals so if you're in the market for spanking videos or want to own the scenes you saw in the member area of Tropixxx VIP, there ya go.
This site has made some changes since we first reviewed it. Two are changes for the better: The videos used to be streaming-only, but now they can be downloaded - and they don't use DRM. Also the site has lowered the monthly price, making it reasonable for such niche content. The last change was the removal of the forum, which is too bad because of all the member-submitted fantasies that were on it. I wrote to the site owner and he says that the site will soon have an improved member area and a new forum.
If you're looking for college-aged guys getting real spankings on bare buttocks, Tropixxx VIP really delivers! The videos are a little on the small side at 320x240 but they're not too are amateur to good amateur quality, and they are downloadable, which is good news. The site does not update every week, but it does update at least a couple times a month, so there are new things going on for members. If watching guys 18 to 25 getting bare bottom spankings sounds good, why not check out Tropixxx VIP and see what they have to offer!

This site is the worst of any spanking site out there. I was member of both this and frathazing for two months. Nearly no updates and the amount of content available is pitiful. The videos that are there can be watched in one sitting and a lot of them cannot be downloaded, another negative. Please do not waste your money on this site. I will never again view or buy anything associated with site.

My problem with this site is that they don't mix the spanking and the sex very well, if at all. The formula is simple - humiliation should lead to hard ons and hard action. I also joined another site of theirs, Frat-Hazing.com and it is a different kind of disappointment. There's a little bit of sexy frat boy spanking action/sex, but there's very little of anything. Navigation is a mess. They've got a good idea, one can only hope they'll invest some resources & imagination.

I found the site to be very hot and full of real spanking action. Yes it is smaller than some of the other mega spanking sites, but unlike SpankThis or Spanking Central, these boys are really spanked, and there is no special effects or bullshit. I agree that the updates are a bit irregular, one week nothing, then the next week you might get two or three clips, then a week of nothing, etc. but other than that, the updates you do get are fucking hot! From what I can tell, everything is real and the spankings are not faked at all. There are even some real tears. In my opinion, I think this is one of the best male spanking sites out there. I think I paid $24.99 to join, then $19.99 recurring.
