Zeb Atlas was voted the best Gay Porn Star Site in 2005-2006 by Cybersocket magazine. Zeb Atlas wasALSO voted Men Magazine's Man of the Year in 2003 and it was a great boost to his career, taking him to the next level. If you can believe it, in his freshman year of college, Zeb Atlas weighed 165 pounds. He said in Men Magazine, "My body really responded to proper nutrition and training. Seeing my muscles grow gave me confidence – and an increased sexual appetite." I'll say his muscles grew – Zeb Atlas now weighs in at 250 pounds. Sporting a 52-inch chest, 21-inch biceps, and 28-inch thighs, Zeb Atlas has one of the finest, muscular bodies you'd ever want to see lying across your mattress. And the nice, and surprising thing, about Zeb Atlas is that he's tall. I saw him at an award show a couple of years ago and I was totally shocked that he was 6'3"; most of the gay porn stars who look this muscular and good are squat, little 5'8" or 5'9" men. Zeb Atlas's private website has over a thousand photos and over 25 video clips.

Zeb Atlas is a nicely done webite and it's well organized. It's really a no brainer and not at all difficult to move around his website and find what you're looking for. The colours are pleasing and the design is simple, allowing us to appreciate Zeb Atlas in all his muscular glory. The photos on the website are big and clear and show off Zeb Atlas perfectly. He's been shot by a number of different photographers for his website, so we get a lot of different styles and themes – a lot of outdoor shoots, but a fair number of sexy and romantic indoors ones, as well as some costumed galleries like his Roman gladiator, leather man, and cowboy galleries.

The stand out feature about Zeb Atlas would be the man himself. You're not going to find him all over the place. He's pretty particular about where his photos appear. He does the odd shoot for gay porn magazine like Men Magazine. The point is that you're not going to find him all over the place. If you want to see naked pictures of Zeb Atlas, you'll have to stop by his website. And look at these samples from his website, what a gorgeous body. Beautiful sculpted shoulders, hard, pumped up pecs, bulging biceps, and massive thighs. All that and he's cute, too. He looks good serious and with a friendly smile. He just an all around hot man.

The problem that I have with most solo, gay porn star sites is that there's never really enough content to warrant a monthly membership. And unfortunately, Zeb Atlas is no exception. It's a shame because with the right marketing machine behind him and a lot more consistency, Zeb Atlas could be a phenomenal site. But once you've been a member for a month, you will have burned through everything there is to see. He does say on his homepage that he added new photo sets on January 2 and 29, and again on December 18 and 28; so his site is being updated regularly. But are a couple of picture sets a month worth the price of admission?

A monthly membership will cost you $29.95, and frankly, that's an awful lot. The Zeb Atlas join page says that you'll get: Photo Sets by Photographers from around the world (updated weekly); Personal Diary Entries by Zeb every 2-3 days; Direct e-mail Contact & Responses with Zeb; Compilation of all Magazine Articles and Features on Zeb; Access to purchase Zeb's Videos (available nowhere else); Access to purchase Zeb's Live Cam Sessions. Now the thing is that your membership doesn't actually give you any video, just access to purchase it. And frankly, for this Pig, that's not cool. If you want to charge me $29.95 a month, I had better be getting some video. If you want to try and upsell me DVDs or premium performances fine, but don't charge me $29.95 just so I can order your videos at $39.95 a pop. What are you, Costco?

The Zeb Atlas site lost most of the points in this review's scoring because he doesn't offer more on his site or keep it updated very well. If he were truly writing in his diary every couple of days, providing us with some video clips, and keeping us more updated on his life and what he's doing, then many fans would be more than happy to shell out $29.95 a month.

I can't honestly say that I would be happy having spent $29.95 to get access to Zeb Atlas's website. Sure, the man is beautiful and he has a hot body; his photos are professionally photographed and they're as beautiful as the man. But aside from the pictures, his videos are all an extra fee and not included in the membership, he's got no information in his personal appearance section; he advertises a live cam but there's no schedule (although I've been told it's a bi-weekly show); and his diary, which is supposed to be updated every two or three days, has two entries for the entire month of January. If you buy a member to Zeb Atlas you will get (at the time of this review) 45 picture sets. And since the site has disabled right-clicking, you won't be easily able to save them for your personal collection. I'd take a pass on the Zeb Atlas site, but if you're a fan, a cheaper option would be to purchase and download his clip that's available at Take My Cum. For $14.95 you can own the Zeb Atlas clip. It'll get you off and save you a heap of money. However, it is only one clip, and if you want to see more of Zeb Atlas, you'll have to join his site and pay for it.
