It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if I learned later on that Fratmen.tv and Fratmen.com inked a deal with clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch as these men look a lot like A&F models and some of them are already wearing shirts emblazoned with the Fitch brand name. The aesthetic, almost across the boards, is a sort of Californian surfer meets Midwestern farm boy meaning that these models are nearly all white, smooth, and smiling like Mormons standing on your front porch for the first time.
There are nine pages of models to choose from with each page containing photos of roughly 24 men. Most of these are headshots, but click on the meaty torso for “Shane II” and you get a solo sequence of blond a football player stroking himself, both indoors and out. The majority of clips contain no actual sex unless they are labeled “Alumni Weekend” or “Pledge Class,” but even then the contact is minimal compared with all of the other options available out there. (It should be noted that even when you do find a couple of studs hiding in the same sequence that this is no guarantee that they will do more than get themselves off separately on a couch somewhere in front of a screen, off-camera, that’s playing straight porn. Is this a tease? Or just a waste? You be the judge.)
Video content is, essentially, available any way you like it. Files formatted for high-speed connections are available as QuickTime files, members on dial-up connections have a smaller file size available to them, and clips can be downloaded as WAV files. On top of all of these options, users can stream the entire full-length feature via Fratmen.tv onDemand. (These Webmasters have thought of nearly everything!) Members are redirected to Fratmen.com to purchase actual full-length DVD releases and it should be noted that there is a lot of overlap between the two sites (despite the slight variations in the URLs) as Fratmen.tv is essentially set up to deliver the video content from Fratmen.com via the Web.
Members can chat with Fratmen.com, and Fratmen.tv, models via Fratmen.tv LIVE! with schedules posted in the window that pops up, although I had issues that may be due to the fact that I work on a Mac. (But I’m not sure as the archived footage worked just fine.) The Fratmen.tv blog is updated (roughly) weekly, providing news about video shoots and model news, while the main site content is updated daily.
