Does Fratmen.TV deliver what it promises on the outside?

I have been a loyal fan of FratmenTV since 2003, the oldest *.mov video from them on my HD. The selection of college jocks is one of the most authentic and best around. The tour gives you a complete idea of who's in the inventory. If you love str8boys - you cannot ignore FratmenTV!

If you haven't visited in a while, let me tell you that last year (2007), the site made a major upgrade by offering up their videos FOR DOWNLOAD in a MUCH higher-res WMP format. The old segmented, embedded QT video clips are still there for quick viewing, but note that they can all now be streamed or downloaded in a non-segmented high-res WMP format as well. The exceptional thing was that they went back and re-encoded ALL OF THE videos in their inventory into the full-length WMP format, rather than just starting at some point and going forward. I went back and copied over many of the inferior *.mov clips with the much crisper *.wmv videos.

FratmenTV also offers five nights (Sun-Thu) of live shows @ 7PM PST and archives the best of the shows for those who cannot attend. The archived WMP-format shows can be "full-screened" and allow instant jumping around on your status bar.

FratmenTV's popular live shows have spawned the sister site Fratpad.com, which I feel is hot - but lacks on account of its decision to rely on FLASH player for delivery.

What's good about Fratmen.TV? What needs improvement?

FratmenTV has one of the most authentic and extensive str8 jock collections anywhere. I feel that the site really pioneered the idea of "designer porn" - beautiful guys alone for your adoration in attractive surroundings - no interviews, no barking directors. You can tell I'm a fan..

What needs improvement is greater attention to the cumshot sequences and I have written to the webmaster several times with this complaint. The camera work often includes some of the most beautiful naturally lit close-ups I have seen anywhere, yet the cumshot sequences always, always revert to the predictable full body shot. FratmenTV - if you are listening, please at least start using a secondary camera and edit in a cumshot we can see up close. This would bring the level up from 85% to 100%.

How is Fratmen.TV unique?

This was one of the first premium sites adding a touch of class to the world of str8boy adoration. The site had gotten a bit dated with its grainy QT video delivery platform, but I feel has redeemed itself with the addition of full-length, full-screen Media Player videos.

What do paying users recieve for their money?

For $29.95 monthly, non-recurring you'll get:

235+ feature dudes w/ photosets and videos (updated weekly);
