Zeb AtlasWhat can I say about Zeb Atlas? He's masculine, he's hot, he's HUGE! This massive bodybuilder is one of the sexiest men in solo porn and it's always good to see more of him - much more. There are some pretty hot sample pics in the portfolio section, and the tour seems better organized since our last visit to the site, so let's log in and take a good look at what Zeb Atlas has to offer!

The Zeb Atlas member area has made some important improvements since we last reviewed the site, but first let's get to the navigation. The site is simple and easy to use, with links across the top of the page, those links repeated further down the page. Below them on the left side are the latest updates and at the bottom of the page are links to customer support. The site has no dates, but there are currently 60 videos, 24 more than there were a bit over a year and a half ago, and 104 photo sets, but there are also 29 archived live show videos, articles, Zeb's blog and access to a bonus site.

The videos here are offered in your choice of streaming and downloadable MP4, and are DRM-free. The newer streaming videos are shown at 720x360 at good quality and the older ones shown at 580x382 at good amateur quality. The downloadable videos are small, the older shown at 176x144 with a bitrate of 325k and the newer ones bigger at 320x240, all at good amateur quality or better. The movies play smoothly and look good, and there are smaller streaming broadband versions for those on slower broadband.

Zeb AtlasThe Portfolio section is where you'll find Zeb's pic sets. Each set is listed with a well-cropped preview thumb, and each set can be viewed as a thumbnailed gallery or as a slideshow. The pics are mostly good quality, and most are shown at 460x686, but there were some sets that seem to be good quality vidcaps shown at 800x450.

Some of the shoots are erotic and nude, some are hardcore and show action. You'll find Zeb jerking off, having sex with women, with a couple male/female couples, gym and workout videos, posing, male/male wrestling and having sweaty gay sex, and finally one of Zeb fucking guy. Most sets feature plenty of Mr. Atlas and his incredible physique in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor settings, studios and some are even in classic black and white. And it almost isn't worth saying that Zeb looks great in every shoot as he always looks great.

When I went to Zeb Atlas' Live Cam section, there was no schedule showing when he'd appear next, but there were 29 archived live shows, the most recent added today. Before that the archived live show vids are added irregularly and infrequently, but even though they're on the small side, I recommend watching them as any real Zeb Atlas fan or muscle lover will really appreciate seeing this muscle star as he flexes, posesd and gets naked, oiling up his body and cock.

Zeb AtlasIn addition, members get access to Zeb's blog - called Daily Zeb. This hasn't been updated recently, but there's lots to read. There's a section called Publicity which include magazine and internet articles, interviews and press releases about Zeb Atlas, and even a music video he appears in. There's a form if you want to book Zeb to do a show, Casting where you can vote for guys to appear on the site, and finally a bonus site called Stallion Men where you'll find more hot and muscular men.

My main concerns here are about updates. There's no way to know how often the site adds new content, but there hasn't been that much growth in the last year and a half. I wasn't thrilled to discover that members can only download one video at a time, and only one every 10 minutes. I was also a bit disappointed that you have to buy a larger downloadable version of each video.

Zeb Atlas is one of the hottest - and biggest - bodybuilders in porn. His site isn't huge, but the exclusive content is good quality, and there's plenty of Zeb in it - always a plus. There are 104 photo sets, 60 good quality videos you can stream or download (although the downloadable videos are small), Zeb's periodic live shows, blog, articles about him and a bonus site. Also some of the more recent material shows Zeb in threesomes with a man and a woman or in a session just with another guy. While I definitely wish that the site would update more often and show update dates, if you're a fan of Zeb Atlas or love male muscle, I'd say this site is definitely worth checking out.

Things we liked:

  • Exclusive content with Zeb himself - sexy, massive and hot
  • Small versions of the videos are downloadable
  • No DRM used
  • Zeb's diary entries
  • Archived live shows

Things we didn't like:

  • Members can only download 1 video every 10 minutes
  • No dates on updates, updates seem infrequent
  • Must buy the bigger downloadable versions of the videos
  • Some tour claims not met
  • No way to know when or if next live show will happen

I'm one of the Gaydemon reviewers, and wanted to let readers know that Zeb Atlas' site now gives members access to his videos in large good quality embedded Flash vids and tiny but good quality downloadable MP4s.

This is not a real site for true seekers of porn. It appears to me to be nothing more than an address on the internet to promote Zeb's modeling/acting career. What you get for the membership, with few exceptions, is pretty much the same stuff that you can find anywhere on the internet for free.

I suppose when you're as hot and as popular as Zeb Atlas is, you don't really have to care about how your website looks, as long as people are still willing to pay money for your DVDs and to see you strip naked and jerk off. Besides, Zeb is a busy guy these days with touring and performing in mega gay danceclubs, and allegedly recently got engaged to his pornstar girlfried.

Careful, Zebbie. Even the biggest mainstream celebrities have to pay close attention to their image and the quality of their work. Otherwise, they unwittingly get on a boat and sail away, sail away, sail way...down the Orinocco (just like in that classic Enya ditty) into the sunset and off into oblivion.

But what do you do when you're getting older and facing competition from a younger and more aggressive set of guys on the fantasy muscleboy scene? Well, one thing you could do is to either work harder to consistently deliver up good quality material to fans who pay to see you perform. The other option is to stop performing and retire.

Why would anyone want to pay for a membership to a site and then have to pay again to view the real content?
If you want to see Zeb Atlas' best work you can do so on other high-quality muscle sites without having to pay twice. I really don't like to say negative things about people, but I have to say that the quality of the newer stuff on this website is not worth paying for---especially the cam shows. As with any model, Zeb looks great with the professional makeup and lighting in his photo and video shoots. Without them, he looks a lot like what what producers of gay porn would call "mature". He used to be the red-hot posterboy of softcore porn, but now he's beginning to look like the Marlboro Man's older brother. To see what I'm talking about, compare the difference between the photo on his home page and the photo on his video links page.

If you still decide on buying into this site, just don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.
