ManPlay Review

ManPlay is a site for gay men to meet other gay men for sex dating. Since I am a heterosexual man, once again I enlisted the help of my friend Brian, who is not only super gay, but has also done a bunch of gay sex dating site reviews for me in the past. He’s always had a lot of fun sex dating for a month on my dime, so I knew he’d be into it whenever I asked. He told me that he has been seeing his current boyfriend for about six months now, but their relationship is an open one. I gave him fifty bucks for whatever costs he might encounter, and told him to keep detailed notes on the time he spent using the site, and the results he got. So, without further ado, let’s get to his review! From the end of this sentence to the end of the review, it is all in Brian’s words – uncensored and unedited – so enjoy!

Hi there again my friends! It’s Brian back to give this new gay adult dating site – ManPlay a spin for thirty days. Like Michael mentioned in the preamble, I have done these reviews for him before, when the site is solely geared to gay men, and it has been a great experience every time. And not to give away too much too soon, but ManPlay continued that pattern! Let’s get to it!

ABOUT

I went to the ManPlay homepage and was immediately taken with how much dough the owners of the site had spent on making it look really good. In addition to the web design being fantastic, it was also a really easy site to navigate, especially right off the bat. They want to get you right into the action, by getting your initial free membership made as soon as possible. It only takes about ten minutes, and the pictures and flash animations they have for each section of the process are really funny. It’s obvious they know that the most boring part of signing up for a sex dating site is the initial information process, so they’re purposefully tried to make it a light-hearted and fun affair. I appreciated it! Once my free membership was finished, the site transferred me over to their matchmaking search engine page.

I always love looking through a new sex dating site’s search pages that they choose for me. Sometimes the guys they choose for me are just waaaaay off from what I’m looking form and that can be really funny. It’s also frustrating, because it means that I have to search through a hundred profiles to find a handful of suitable guys to contact. But with ManPlay, their algorithm was right on the money. The guys on my search pages were hot, fit, and just my cup of tea. I started emailing them with my standard “hello, would you like to F*ck” message. Basically a short form letter expressing my interest and letting them get back to me if they share my interest. After a half hour I went to bed because it had been a long day and I was bushed.

FEATURES

When I awoke the next morning, I grabbed a coffee and checked my ManPlay account. My inbox already had five replies from the guys I had contacted, as well as seven messages from men that saw my profile on their search pages and contacted me independently. To read their emails, I found out that the site needed me to upgrade my free membership to either the Gold or Silver options the site has. This didn’t come as a surprise to me, since the site was so slick and well designed – I knew they’d have to make their money somehow. And since there weren’t any ads and crap all over the site, I knew I’d have to pay eventually. But, the prices were actually on the low side, for sex dating sites, and Michael had given me his fifty buck budget to work with, so I went with the gold option. Here’s the pricing and what you get with each membership:

PRICES

The Silver Membership gets you limitless access to the site’s basics. Namely, the email and search features. It also comes with the three month Get Laid or Your Money Back Guarantee. The Gold Membership gets you all the Silver features, along with limitless access to the site’s discussion forums and blog, webcam function, thousands of XXX movies, and Members’ uploaded sex movies. It also has tons of articles and information on sex dating tips, ideas, and precautions for noobs. Since the two memberships are basically the same price for the monthly rate, I went with the gold. After all, Mike was paying, and it gave me the whole site to explore and enjoy!

DRAWBACKS

The one big problem I had with this site is that there are too many god damn porno movies on the site. I know this doesn’t sound like a problem, because who doesn’t enjoy themselves a good porn?! But the problem is that with so many pornos to choose from (literally thousands of professional and amateur members videos) that you can wind up spending three or four hours in the XXX theatre and end up not trying to get actual sex from real local men. I fell victim to this myself a few times! I guess it’s not really a drawback if you can show some self discipline, but I sure couldn’t!

REVIEW CONCLUSIONS

Over the month, I spent an average of forty minutes a day on the site emailing and responding to emails. I set up 25 sex dates over the month, and only one was a no-show. Of the 24 dates I had, three of the men agreed that we should become go-to fuck buddies. In terms of return on investment of money and time, this site went above and beyond! I give it an A+. Special thanks to Michael for letting me do this!
