Initial review: 5/16/2007 - Updated on: 1/23/2008

Male Model is a photography site featuring some attractive men in nude and partially nude photos. Most of these fellows have an amateur appeal with some sexy bods and cute enough faces, so I'm not going to complain about having to see them stripped down to skivvies, or wearing even less in front of the lens. The softcore nature of the content makes for a nice change of pace and would probably appeal to fans of male erotica from both genders. It seems updates have slowed down to once every three weeks or so.

There are no videos, only the pictures. To be honest, since sites such as this one generally show you some boring behind-the-scenes stuff, I'm not exactly heartbroken to go without videos anyway. However, if you know my at all, then you'll know that I was expecting great things from the photographs on MaleModel, if it was going to satisfy despite being a pic-only site.

There are 240 galleries so far and I'm not completely sure of what the difference between a couple of the pic sections. For example, there are erotic series and extended series, which seem very similar in the end. There are some clothed shots, some semi-dressed frames and normally a peek at ass, or cock. I suppose the erotic sets are subtlety more suggestive, but not much. Sometimes, dicks are rock hard, while sometimes they're semi-erect or even soft.

My biggest issue was with the average quality and lack of ability to save the photos to one's hard drive. Some frames were large, almost high-res, most were not and many in fact weren't even regular-res. Even the photography itself wasn't that great, I probably appreciated the lighting and styling of the single larger set called the art series and the four galleries of sexy modeling duos. Those sets of photo spreads appeared more artistically and aesthetically appealing to me.

Overall, I would like to see larger galleries and high-res pics, as well as, ideally, downloadable photos. The editor of the site may feel that only the best photos from each model were chosen, but the quality of selected shots just isn't high enough to make one believe that they're better than all the rest. As Male Model costs considerably less than many sites do, it's almost forgiven for giving members limited access to the content.
