Overview:
They're everywhere in your city, town or suburb; at the supermarket, coaching tennis, cleaning drainpipes, collecting unemployment checks and simply hanging around, looking hot. Who am I talking about? I'm talking about the average attractive guy you might see while going about your day. Straight guys have the "girl next door" to fantasize over and gay guys (and straight women) have the Next Door Male. Named after these sexy everyday fellas, Next Door Male is a site that promises to deliver unto you "guys from all walks of life and all types of backgrounds." They go on to say that they find some of their models through auditions, getting approached by wannabes, recommendations by friends and even just by spotting them on the street and asking if they'd be interested in making some easy money. Whether you're a gay guy or a straight woman (or even a bi-curious straight guy), these "guy next door" types are bound to appeal to your more prurient interests.

Once you've torn yourself away from the hard-bodied hunks of the tour pages, entered your login details and found yourself at the main members' page of Next Door Male, you'll instantly notice the clean, refined design given to the site by the design team. Strong, yet calm blue tones make up most of the color scheme, with a white background playing host to the more informative aspects of the page's contents. After a brief "about Next Door Male" section, the latest update is listed with such details as the guy's name, runtime of the video, amount of photos in the gallery, a short spiel about the model and his work and the obligatory preview images. One nice addition is the flash video trailer for the scene that plays smoothly and quickly, giving you a nice taste of the action before you even decide to pursue that model's material. The rest of the main page is taken up by eight other recent updates, although they have less detail on display with only an image, name, date, video runtime and photo count. There's also a small "more?" button in the bottom right corner that will take you to a more extensive list of updates. A menu bar that sits at the top of the page will point you in the right direction if you'd prefer to start checking out the video or photo gallery indexes.

The photo gallery index is laid out in a very clear and exciting way. After telling you the name of the model, the date the set was added and the number of photos contained within, each gallery's listing includes a very nice photo that not only gives you a good look at the face and body of this studly fella, but also allows you to get an idea of what kind of mood the shoot has, rugged and outdoorsy, seductive and sensual, or hard-hitting and full of attitude. There are currently over 250 galleries on Next Door Male, so be sure to give all of the preview pics a quick once over before you decide who'll be your first visual conquest. After choosing a guy and clicking his likeness, you'll find yourself looking at a page full of thumbnail images, the first of many that constitute the full gallery. Don't bother looking around for a zip download option, as that's one feature the webmasters have neglected to include. Clicking on one of the thumbs brings up the corresponding fully enlarge picture in a new flash-based sub-window. Often these kinds of display techniques are implemented to prevent people from saving or downloading the photos, although that's thankfully not the case here. The photos come to you in a resolution of 800x1195 pixels and they look very bright and clear, keeping in line with the fun and enjoyable atmosphere presented elsewhere on the site.

The video index is a little more elaborate than the photo gallery index, with 11 preview pics, scene/model synopsis, video runtime, and a flash video trailer for the scene. Just like the use of the trailer on the updates page, it is very helpful here as it allows you to view a very telling debriefing concerning the scene, preventing you from wasting time on something you may not be all that into. After giving all of the 255 odd scenes a look (well, some of them anyway), you'll have to pick one in order to get to the really racy stuff. Once you have done so and clicked the Watch the Video link, you'll land on a page that not only offers a few good video viewing options but also a collection of screenshots taken from the scene. These screenshots only feature resolutions around 720x540 but are still clear enough to use as a further preview, if you so wish. The videos themselves can be streamed or downloaded in WMV or MOV formats. The WMV files download and play at resolutions of 320x240 and 720x480 pixels; the MOV files at 320x240. All of the videos look pretty good, with nice, even lighting and color depth that gives each scene a pleasant, relaxing feel. Don't worry, though. You're still going to find the guys extremely hot and what they do even hotter. They're usually chilling by the pool, working out, or simply hanging out inside the house when they get that specific tingle in their loins that makes them slip their stiffening cocks out of their shorts and start sensually stroking their manhood. After a while things get more heated and the pace quickens until there's an outpouring of raw masculinity landing on their hands, abs, or occasionally the kitchen counter.

There's more to Next Door Male than just a few hundred photo galleries and video scenes, as you'll find out by clicking the "bonus" link in the top menu bar. Six other websites are accessible to paying members of Next Door Male, including Tommy D & Friends, Cody Cummings, Mason Wyler, Next Door Buddies, and Stroke That Dick! All of these sites present some pretty exciting male action that's free to enjoy when you sign up at Next Door Male. Speaking of memberships, a monthly one will cost you $14.95 per month, which is actually a very reasonable price! Reasonable enough to encourage you to thrown down your digits and sign up?

- It wouldn't hurt to throw in a model index and a search function to make browsing even easier.

- I had a problem downloading more than two videos at the same time.
