Icon Male

The first thing that struck me about this site and its tour was how good it all looked. A professionally designed and originally designed site always looks better than a template one, and that’s what we have here. Excellent presentation leading to excellent movies. You can see quite clearly from the tour and the member home page what the various themes are: ‘Gay Massage House 3’, ‘Schoolboy Fantasies 2’ and ‘Daddy’s Big Boy’ were all on offer as recent updates. Then the top menu takes you to the scenes, movies, stars and photos.

There were 520 scenes when I was in the site and these were from 19 movies. Some are parts of a longer movie, so, looking at the most recently added scenes I found it was part three of on on-going series. But this is not part three of the same scene, each scene is a story in itself, and there is a new one being added every few days; the site has a great update schedule. There is a lot of father/son stuff here but the site does point out that it’s not breaking any taboos; this is fantasy material with step-father and step-son, and there are other series that deal with hunk on hunk and perfect male with perfect male. Scenes have fantasy storylines that lead to full on gay hardcore that is perfectly filmed.

You have good viewing options at Icon Male. There are streams to run in seven speeds from 1080p in HD down to a small 160p, and with several mid-range options in between. The screen is large and the faster your connection the better, of course. I found the mid-range 540p option perfect and it ran smoothly and looked good at full screen. You’ve also got the same Download options with seven Mp4 files including 1080p HD and a WMV at 480p. Scene also come with a description and links to the guys’ in the model index, the upload dates, a voting system for you to use, an add to favourites function and links to the galleries.

Click to the Movies area to find the, so far, 19 movies and you have the same excellent design and layout. All the sample shots here are bog, the text is easy enough to read, though could be a bit lighter in places as it’s grey on back, and the pages are well presented. The Movies area lays out the same scenes but in a different way and lets you use a drop-down set of categories to aid your searching, index pages are numbered and easy to use and you have no navigation issues to worry about.

Movies also link directly to their galleries, where they have one, and there is also a Photos area linked from your main menu. There were 520 galleries here and they date from November 2011 when the site started. These are a mix of shoots from the scenes and posed model shots, and some action shoots that don’t relate to the movies. Each one is shown with a large sample shot on the index pages and when clicked this leads to the thumbnail gallery complete with details, links to the video, zip file downloads and easy navigation. Images open in an online player which is easy to browse with and are 1,920 x 1,080 when at full size, though are scaled down to fit at first. Slideshow functions are available and like the videos the quality is excellent.

Check the model index for 49 great looking guys to browse by and you will find some top names: Dirk Caber (fresh from Men.com) and Jacob Ladder, for example, ditto Connor Maguire and Colt Rivers, and Brent Corrigan who should need no introduction. A great line up of hot guys appearing a superb line up of exclusive fantasy scenes to rival the best of them.
