We at Jack Manly know that many of you don't need much reminding of the fact that we're sack dab in the middle of winter. It's not called the dead of winter for nothing! But we're happy to report that more than a few websites have turned up the heat with new improved content, site designs, etc.  In general changes for the better. There have been enough of these changes that we felt it was worth gathering up all the info for you.

Sean Cody--Okay, you may be tired of hearing about this one, but this site has been redesigned from tops to bottoms (sorry we couldn't resist). Beautifully clean looking, easy to navigate and tons of videos (over 500) and pics from which to choose. The best news is that videos are in Windows Media AND Quicktime formats and are DRM free. Sean Cody has even added an X-Large format for selected videos.

Cocky Boys--Some of the hottest new stars have popped up on here including Billy Brandt who did an exclusive here--his last bottom role on video----and he gave it up to Brad Star. The site has also made their flash videos downloadable AND has added more content per week.

          

Man Avenue--This Florida based site already has some of the hottest guys online. Now they've  made watching them easier. "Axel at Sea" is their first full-length video (and not clips) available to stream or download (still in WMV and iPod formats). Plus they've had Zack Randall put in a few appearances-including one with his off camera hubby Derek Rivero.

Jake Cruise--Starting Friday February 1 the site will start presenting larger format movies and pics AND true Windows Media streaming movies. We have to hand it to Jake for having the balls to do things his own unapologetic way, whether it's appearing on camera, tapping into the reservoirs of international "talent" or simply putting guys on the site that appear elsewhere--sometimes within a week or two of their other appearances.

         

ManifestMen--This muscle-worship site has always been consistent in the sterling quality of its videos and gallery photos and its models like Johnny Castle, Troy Stevens and Damon Danilo (by the way both Danilo and Stevens appear in FREE (to members) hour long web chats on Feb 5 and Feb 19 respectively) .  Lately we're seeing more new faces and bods as well as favorites that rarely are seen on video. Christian Adams and Derek Russo are two men worth checking out. You've seen them before but ManifestMen knows how to show them off the best.

Colt Studios--Colt redesigned their site in 2007 and introduced its series of individual model sites for their top superstars. They've just added a new site for Roland Dane from their internationally flavored Olympus video imprint.

Men at Play--If you've read our site review or you've seen our updates, you know how much we love this site.
Men At Play raised their already high bar by signing Francesco D'Macho. He's already starred in the very hot gay noir The Rider. Some of the hottest new and upcoming international studs have made it here and if you don't know names like Orlando Toro or Eduardo Dubov now, just wait because you will.

Falcon--We've already mentioned that Falcon has reduced its retail prices on new videos and had a tempting series of sales on special titles AND added the membership price of 3 months for the price of two. But we've neglected to mention the very hot guys that have appeared on the LIVE shows. This is where the real-life boyfriends and Falcon exclusives Aden & Jordan Jaric first appeared and where most recently Tristan Jaxx and Antonio Madeira performed together.

  We're not even mentioning all the amazingly hot guys that have made appearances on the various sites during this month of January. But we will in our first Month in Review blog coming up in a few days.
