If there's one thing I don't usually want to be, it's in pain. Still, sites like Men in Pain come along and scare the crap out of me anyway, just for the fun of it. If the site looks familiar it all, you've probably seen some of their other offerings that we've reviewed in the past: Fucking Machines, Whipped Ass, Wired Pussy and more. They seem to have an inkling for painful (yet unique) scenarios, and they do it pretty well. The sites themselves are always a crap shoot, as it seems some have pretty nice content, while others are full of older stuff. For $20 a month, you can check this one out yourself if you're interested in seeing some women dominate their male companions.
Once you've logged in, getting around the site isn't too hard. It's a bit different than some sites, but if you've seen their others then you'll feel right at home. They give you stats right off the bat, and I can tell you that they have 167 scenes up right now comprised of almost 25,000 pictures, and almost 80 hours of video.
They break the content down by scene, and you can choose from three browsing options (full view with around 15 preview thumbs per scene, brief view with one thumb preview, and text-only). They give you a description, the date (new stuff s put up about twice a week it seems), and links to the pictures, vidcaps, and movies right from the main page.
Picture galleries are further broken down by content/action, and then finally on to the actual photos. They offer two picture sizes, and the default is the smaller of the two, so be sure to switch that over to hires. Once that's done, the pictures look pretty good and are a good size hovering around 1200x800 or so.
Movies also come in two quality options for the full-scene videos (which come only in Real Video it seems). If you prefer Windows Media Videos, you can check out their clips which are offered in WMV and Real formats. The WMV clips I watched came in at 320x240 and 500kbps, and actually didn't look that great. The scenes were setup well, but the actual encoding left them looking subpar. The Real Videos don't look much better at 320x240 and 430kbps. They're all watchable and you can see them clearly, it's just not as smooth or clear as I'm used to these days. Since these videos seem to be pretty recent based on their update dates, I would definitely expect more from them (and especially so since I've seen better-looking vids from this company before).
The value here comes from the content of the content, if that makes any sense. They provide pretty entertaining videos, they're all exclusive, and they update regularly. On top of that, the price is a bargain at $20 a month. The quality could be improved, as could the site's design and navigation, but overall I still say it's worth a look for the content alone.

Review: 12-28-06 |
The name of the game here at Men in Pain this time around is more content, and slightly better videos that still need a little work. They're up to 240 shoots up, which is getting to be a pretty nice size overall. The updates have been very regular and continue to be, so expect those numbers to rise even more next time around. Videos are now playing at 700kbps and 640x480 which is better than before, but still not good enough if you ask me. I'd like that bumped up a little more, especially when you see how nice their photos look. Otherwise, things are much the same and the site is still a great find here for some unique material.
Score remains at 81.7.
