Review date: May 2009

CocoDorm is like MTV’s "Real World" but with a twist, bringing together a group of hot and horny Black and Latino guys to live in a dorm-style house in South Florida. They're in their underwear for most of the time and have sex in scheduled and non-scheduled intervals, which has the potential to be a very entertaining and hot premise but which in reality can leave something to be desired. The live action is a little hard to find, but when you find it, it’s usually worth it. With an array of big-dicked young studs and bubble- ass bottoms you never know what you’re gonna get, but it’s sure to be fresh, sweet, delicious and in some shade of brown.

Tour

CocoDorm's tour is fairly thorough. On the very first page you can watch a sample archived live show, and below that some full-sized photos of the latest models. Click "Tour" to see how the site is laid out; here you'll get find full indexes of the content with thumbnail pics; clicking on the thumbnails takes you to the sign-up page.

Navigation

One of the best features of CocoDorm -- the large amount of content -- leads to one of its biggest letdowns: the navigation can be confusing and frustrating. Locating the action is time-consuming, whether it’s live or a streamed archive of the live action, and with so many not ambiguously named menu sections, it’s easy to get lost. The fact that some of the content is not described makes finding the good stuff an effort.

The Men and the Action

Most of the guys at CocoDorm are younger, lean, well-musculed, and African American. There are many shades of brown, including a few Latino guys. Big dicks, bubble butts and tattoos abound. Paying members choose the boys they want to come to the dorm by voting for their applications on a section called “Wannabes.” Many of the Wannabes already have a following of fans from their native cities.

The chosen boys live at the dorm house for varying lengths of time. There have been 29 "dorm dudes" and there were five living in the house at the time of this review. Sex shows are scheduled four times each evening and members can ask a model to perform additional shows for "tips" (models keep all of their tips). The dorm dudes must be gay or bisexual; as Cocodorm states that “straight boyz can apply but must fuck and suck dick.” Every model has a profile that states their sexual orientation and preference, stats, relationship status, dick size and e-mail address. These boys may be young, but they are not naïve – many describe themselves as “freaky” and “nasty”.

The dorm is fitted with multiple cameras in various locations, allowing the viewer to find and follow the live action. The sex shows are scheduled, but not staged, according to the site. That means you're much more likely to see a solo performance than hardcore action. Unfortunately, when it does happen, the sex can be far away, poorly lit and featuring dismal sound quality.

The site makes it easy for you to connect with your favorite dorm boys. All of the models have e-mail addresses available, and paid members can send them gifts, flowers, or even a piece of clothing, like underwear or socks, that the model will wear in the show and then send back to the viewer personalized. Models also maintain blogs, take part in forums and are featured in confessional videos, where they reveal more about themselves, their preferences and sexual adventures.

Video Details

Aside from the live broadcasts there are three types of video content on CocoDorm, starting with almost 1600 archived live shows. Confusingly, these are first placed in an area called "Live Cam Archive." Here the videos will stream but can't be downloaded. At an unspecified time these archived video get moved to another area which they have chosen to call "Streams," at which point you can opt to download or stream the show. As well there are over 250 regular videos and about 50 "confessions." Most of the regular videos are of solo jerk-off sessions, with a few sex scenes between two or more of the models.

The archived shows can be sorted by model, rating or date they were recorded. But while the regular videos are well described, the archived live shows are another story. There is only one preview thumbnail for each and no text descriptions of what each features other than the models’ name. In general, sound quality is quite poor, making it hard to hear what the models are saying, which can be frustrating during their steamy confessionals.

The regular videos are available in Windows Media and Quicktime formats. Of the Windows Media vids, about 60% can be downloaded to play in a very large 1280x720 window at an amazing 5,000k. (These can be streamed at a lower bitrate, for play in 760x430 window.) The remaining Windows Media videos can be streamed or downloaded at 900k for play in a 480x360 window. The archived shows are in Windows Media and play in a small 320x240 window at 275k.


The regular videos are the highest quality, followed by the archived live shows. In general, sound quality is quite poor, making it hard to hear what the models are saying, which can be frustrating during their steamy confessionals.

Image and Other Content

CocoDorm has a vast inventory of photo sets, with hundreds of models and weekly updates. There are over 250 photo sets, with an average of 70 pictures per model. Most of the sets are solos, but there is also some duo and threesome action. Picture quality is great, the photo sets are generous and you can download the entire set with a handy zip file option.

In addition to the dorm and the model images, Cocodorm offers a variety of creative features, such as “Fun & Games,” a section where you can play slide puzzles and memory games featuring pictures of the naked models and their chocolate dicks. You can also download wallpaper and desktop calendars featuring men from FlavaMen magazine and check out other sites with similar content by the parent company, Flava Works.

Summing Up

CocoDorm serves up a large collection of hot Black and Latin men who will leave you begging for more. But for all its considerable booty, CocoDorm does have some issues with navigational access to the live goods. On the message boards there’s talk of improvements for the live shows, which will be a welcome development and add value to this already generous offering. The possibility of interaction with the models is a unique plus. While they may play tough, they also love the attention and are very responsive to viewers’ requests. With weekly updates and a load of extra features, CocoDorm is a natural favorite for lovers of younger black men.
