Does Men Machine deliver what it promises on the outside?
Men Machine is a collective portal into three gay magazine's content: Men Magazine, Freshmen, Unzipped. There is also a sparing amount of ChiChi Larue's video preview clips thrown in. That's it, pretty much!
I have seen all three of these magazines also appear as feeders on various other websites, so little of the content was really new for me.
What's good about Men Machine? What needs improvement?
The overwhelming majority of this site's content is image galleries - lots of them collected from the three magazines going back into the 1990's. I have to say that "named porn star" photo galleries have lost their glimmer in the new age of amateur shot video. The lack of novel video content is a HUGE detriment and makes this site feel dated and stale. I believe Playgirl is having the same dilemma, both in its paper mag subscriptions and its related website, although they have at least attempted to mix in some softporn vids on the website.
The easy answer is that videos need to be shot along with the photo shoot and play the greater role in the content. I am not sure why these three mags haven't caught on - other than I suppose that they buy syndicated content instead of shooting their own. I think these mags have to mutate to survive or fade away. We ain't happy with photo galleries no more!
How is Men Machine unique?
Since Men Magazine, Freshmen, and Unzipped all appear as feeders on many other sites, it is likely that you have seen some or most of this content before. This is commercial re-seller non-unique content.
What do paying users recieve for their money?

Men Magazine - 500+ image galleries from published back issues

Men Machine is an online source for content featured in "Unzipped", "Freshmen" and "Men" magazines. You get photo sets, feature articles and fiction from current to back issues. There is also limited video content. Read full review

MenMachine.com offers the ‘best gay content on the net’ for a bargain price, this is a very bold claim considering the choice of adult gay entertainment we have today. I was initially impressed by the look and style of the website but was disappointed by their very small teaser preview section, another claim was, you will not see any of their material on any other website, this again is misleading as all of their content is licensed from other producers. This website very much fails to deliver and what video content they do offer falls well short of the mark. Read full review
