Ex-Fratpad guys, where are they now?

[dapperT]

Yes, thank you! Fratmen was Jasun's first job in the adult industry, coming down from Canada to start as a part-time editor for John in January of 2005, then taking over marketing in May. (I honestly think he's the reason why Fratpad ever saw the light of day; he was very proactive in connecting with affiliates and online communities.) He spent a lot of time at the Fratpad when it launched and would be a sort of caretaker for the models before Fratmen shoots, introducing them to the town, taking them to get haircuts and go shopping, things like that. It seemed like he loved meeting people and just chatting. I've really come to like Jasun for everything I've seen about him, he seems like a really great guy.

(I also theorize that he invented Fratpad Fridays and the brand "Fratmen SUCKS!", because that name is just so good and absolutely Jasun's sense of humor. The first ever Fratmen Sucks DVD came out around August 21st, 2008, so Jasun was still there and was the one who announced it to the forums. As the marketing manager, he had to deal with constant heckling and harassment from people who thought Fratpad was stupid, so it just seems too perfect, and the double-entendre is beautiful. He definitely did invent the infamous Jack Off Race, Ricky v Kent being the first on February 9th, 2007.)

Unfortunately though, Jasun moved on from Fratmen/Fratpad in September of 2008, moderating his last FMTV show on September 21st (it was a Taylor show), and some of what he says now about Fratpad can even sometimes be slightly off; I think it's just been a while. He also never set foot in the Pad after it moved from the second Hollywood unit to "Fiji" (it was Maui, but John and the Fratmen always say it was Fiji even after they left). Jasun's of course an awesome source of information for what the early days were like and what his whole experience was, so talking with him is definitely on my agenda if I ever get out of my "fly-on-the-wall" phase of research... Thank you for the tip, I appreciate it!​

Oops edit: Fratmen was his *second job in the adult industry, Jasun has said he worked one job in the industry in Canada but wanted to get away from Toronto to find a better climate for his motorcycle. I hate to be spreading misinformation... I do love that for all these young Fratmen, many of them coming from rural towns with no great impressions of queer people, they got to meet this wonderful gay metalhead biker and throw all preconceived notions out the window.​

For real @dapperT release those notes as a book

Ikr! Some time ago I thought to buy some Gage videos (because he's my favorite model there) and just found out the site was gone. Now I don't think there's any place to get the videos from there

 

[aussiepete]

Fratmaster John must still be around. It's a wonder he's not interested in getting in on the nostalgia!!

 

[Antonylorca]

Has anyone have a video of Shay and Jayden Part 2? I can't find it in the internet.

 

[QRS]

I love the episode between him and Ethan, who always struck me as the hornier version of the Dell dude. Jasun got so adorably awkward when Ethan took his clothes off.

@Jake1973 do you have that video? I can’t find anything more than a 1 min teaser of Ethan.

No

I’m just gonna place out bounty out again for the Casey Mick Max PPV. I’m willing to pay for it. If anybody has it please DM me.

this is the last remaining, missing piece. I've only ever seen it via a screenshot but it obviously must exist somewhere & I am determined to see it as well. I'll happily chip in to pay if anyone has it somewhere

 

[Giggles123]

Does anyone have any of Clark's fratpad videos? I had two but didn't save them before the site went down. In one of the videos he massages and showers with Taylor.

Think this is the one you're talking about.

I think you can just click on this.^

It's the "SOULMATES?" duo which streamed live on August 1st, 2009. It essentially marked Jayden and Shay's return to the Pad (they were both back by mid-July), as the Pad had been without either of them since I believe the end of May. (Shay had been gone since early April, possibly going to Australia...? He made some comment about going to Australia and then left lol so I can't actually claim anything, but I guess it's possible.) People at the time felt the absence of both these Fratmen, but especially Jayden, whom some members dubbed an "instigator" for his general flirtatiousness, his mind for crafting sensual shows, and his natural talents as an adult entertainer. Without any sort of "instigator" at the Pad, some members felt that the Pad lost that feeling like anything could happen.

Then sure, people were mostly disappointed with this duo, from what I've seen... But it marks this era of the pair of them living in the primary suite together just being boyfriends, so I like it for that reason.​

If I remember correctly. Jayden and Shay were both "suspended" for breaking a rule. I don't remember exactly what it was but it was not good- they were off camera for 2 weeks i think. That's when Shay moved into Jaden's room- so they could pout and avoid being on anyone else's shows. Then Hostmaster John made comments on how close they were and that he thought something was going on with them. When they were able to get back on camera- Shay denied it, Jayden i think avoided the question but ultimately denied it. This duo (their 2nd) came after all of that. So they played other closeness and chemistry to sell the duo. I think Jayden had feelings and Shay didn't. They were very close after this duo.


Of course caveat this all with it's been a million years and i could be wrong about some details. I was a HUGE pad fan but never really spent any time w Jayden and limited time w Shay.

Umph their bodies! I want to kiss Shays cock that's peeking out of his jeans.

Did Shay turn out to be straight? He never had a problem getting an erection on demand while others struggled.

i miss shay! and laird.

Thank you for sharing! That's awesome. So I know that in late February of 2009, Jayden, Shay, and Ty were all suspended (the reasons for this are disputed; there were a lot of wild claims thrown out.) Ty was finally dismissed from the Pad at this point, though I'm sure part of the reason is that he was a huge troublemaker around the Pad and all of the other Fratmen were pretty frustrated with him, but members were assured Jayden and Shay would be back after their suspension, and they were back on cam rather quickly as I understand it.

As for the rooms, tracking who's in which room at which time is one of the most challenging things lol but it seems that Jayden was in the primary bedroom with Kerm/Calvin by April, and before that he was back in the bedroom across from the primary suite until Chase moved in there. My coverage of July isn't great either, but I know Jayden and Shay were doing FMTV shows all throughout the month starting on the 13th leading up to their duo, which leads me to believe they weren't suspended at the time (though there's a chance they were allowed to do FMTV shows while suspended from Pad cams). I'd only really propose that the details you gave are part of a more spread-out story, not that anything is outright wrong. If you remember anything else about Jayden and Shay's return to the Pad during Season 5: Best Buddies, or a particular suspension during that time, I'd love to hear about it!

I have also seen allegations about Jayden and Shay having had a sort of romantic connection (it actually is July of 2009 that I can find people claiming the two had "dated"), and I passively accepted that it could be true because of how close and open-minded they both seemed to be. I've since come to believe though that some romance is even more likely since Jayden tweeted screenshots of a conversation he had in Twitter DMs with someone who wanted to debate his sexuality (lol what a fun conversation for him) on February 8th, 2019. The other person asked him, "Have you ever dated a guy before?" and Jayden responded, "actually yes / i never mention it in chat because i dont want asked [sic.] all damn day about who and what and when / ... / at fp there was one guy that i really enjoyed their company more than just friends and it was unspoken but its how we seen it". So for me, that was enough to determine #Shayden is canon (forgive the fandom language; I couldn't resist). It's really quite vague, and I'm only assuming it's about Shay because I don't think Jayden ever got closer to another Fratman than he did to Shay, but it could at least indicate a sort of sensual friendship there.​

Does anyone know where "Soulmates" can be found to download please?

What we need is for someone to find and publish the ongoing room allocation register (with a reason column and dates) and the headmasters punishment register. Fantasy I know but hey ho!

So in my post you just responded to, if you click the second post I quoted by "pangelboy", the video is there. You can directly download from those embedded videos. Otherwise, if you're caught up by the "Upgrade To View Video", that's just a clamp LPSG has on free members to prioritize premium members, so if you keep refreshing, eventually your request will make it through and you can download it by clicking the three dots on the bottom right of the video player. Lol I'm sure you know that though for your experience with this site; you probably just missed the quoted post. But just in case...​
