Fratmen is not a gay porn site. It is a careful and thoughtful videographic exploration of the sensuality and sexuality of young, college-aged men. That's not to say Fratmen isn't hot because it's sizzling. Fratmen is like a slow and tentative lover that takes his time getting you to the edge. Fratmen features college jocks, frat boys, and naked straight men jacking off in pictures and video clips. You have a choice of watching the clips in QuickTime or Windows Media Player. Each guy is featured in eight clips and a full video clip is available. Galleries of still pictures compliment the video clips. The guys are shot very casually and naturally, giving you the feeling that Mom and Dad have gone away for the weekend, leaving Junior to run around the house naked and jacking off everywhere – and you're there watching him.

The set-up of Fratmen is simple: the photographer spends a couple of days with a young college guy or jock in a well-appointed setting. It may be a private home with a pool, a condomimium, or a luxurious hotel suite. Over the course of those couple of days, the photographer captures the college guy in any number of conceivable erotic and hot situations. Some of these frat boys are straight, some gay, and some bisexual. But Fratmen doesn't focus on their sexuality. But rather it presents naked guys doing what guys love to do – jacking off.

Right off the bat, I have to say that I have never watched jack off videos before where I am so keenly aware of the photographer's presence and absence at the same time. These clips are equipped with sound, but you never hear the photographer, he's so careful and he never talks to the models. The guys rarely look into the camera. But at the same time, some of the shots remind you that the photographer is in the room. At other times, the photographer removes himself from the room and films from a hallway or through a window. You feel that you're in the house watching these jocks undressing, jacking off, showering, caressing themselves, napping, or whatever. Fratmen's voyeuristic atmosphere heightens your experience, makes you want to watch more, and makes it hard not to shoot your load all over your keyboard.

The college guys and jocks featured on Fratmen are, for the most part, extremely good looking. There are very few jocks that you wouldn't drop to your knees for. They're all in their twenties and extrememly well-built. But these aren't muscle men. These jocks take good care of their bodies, they're in excellent shape, they're ripped and muscular, but they're not muscle heads. If you like six packs of abs, hard pecs, strong legs, and bubble butts, you'll love the guys on Fratmen. Most of them are completely clean-cut and if any of them has facial hair, it's just a bit of chin scruff or a soul patch.

The Fratmen are largely caucasion, with a 40-60 split between blonde guys and brunettes. I counted one black guy, no Asian guys, and perhaps only a handful of jocks that one might consider Latino or Italian. Fratmen's jocks all pretty much look like Ivy-League, college jocks or California surfer boys.

Fratmen could use a design overhaul. The grey on black is fine – it's quite classy actually. But the site is missing a little sparkle. Fratmen also stands completely on the look of the jocks to entice you in further. There's no hard-sell here, no false promises of gigantic dicks or explosive cumshots, in fact, there's not even a lot in the way of hard core or hard-selling previews. The site says simply: here are our college jocks, they're very good looking, come and watch them. I like that confidence. But the more skeptical surfer is going to need more than a good looking jock to get them inside. And that's a shame because those surfers will be missing out on a phenomenal experience.

I wouldn't change much about Fratmen. I love it's simplicity. The homepage does suffer from scroll-itis, so I would recommend breaking it down into two or three pages. But I do want to know more about these college guys – their ages, their interests, whether they're straight, gay, or bisexual, what turns them on, what they're currently doing, i.e. college, degrees, working, etc. The site already does such a good job of making this journey feel like a personal experience; I think more in the way of bios would help heighten this.

The good-looking college jocks are definitely Fratmen's strongest feature. But I'm continuously blown away by the erotic presentation. The photographer is so careful, respectful, and uninstrusive. He just lets the guys do what they're doing. And that's fucking hot.

There are two things that Fratmen is notable for: frat boys in the shower and dry-humping scenes. Almost every Fratmen jock has a shower scene. And whether he's just getting wet until the spray or lathering up, they're hot to watch. They almost always end up shutting off the shower and lean against the wall or sitting on the floor and jacking off. If you're a fan of watching guys in the shower, you'll love this site.

A second trademark of Fratmen is the dry-humping scene. Most of the frat boys are featured at some point, on their stomachs, dry-humping the mattress. And it's extremely hot to watch. Forget jacking off to the cumshot finales, these dry-humping scenes will get you hard and I doubt you'll be able to hold back. One of my particular favourites had one frat boy on his stomach on a couch, and he was fucking the soft crack between two cushions. It was very hot.

Fratmen also has daily live shows. Every night at 7 p.m. you can log in and chat with a different college jock. And the site also gives you the option of watching an entire video clip instead of separate scenes or clips.

The still pictures are a bit on the small side. They don't let you see the kind of detail I enjoy when surfing gay porn sites. I don't feel that I know as much about these jocks as I'd like to. Although there's a never-ending parade of hot jocks jacking off, more detailed bios would keep me more engaged and interested. Still, I never felt bored and I guess it's a good thing that Fratmen always kept me wanting more. You'll need QuickTime Pro to save the video clips.

A Fratmen membership is a definite must-have. This site gives you good value for the money and it'll provide you with a good supply of jack off material. In fact some weeks you won't be able to keep your dick out of your fist. This is such a classy and erotic site. I like to think of Fratmen as the kind of site your mother wouldn't mind you posing for. It's beautiful, sensual, sexy, respectful, and hard to stop watching. I absolutely love this site. And don't forget to check out Fratmen's younger brother, Fratpad.
