Bait BuddiesBait Buddies has been around for a while - probably longer than a lot of other "tricked straight guy" sites. It's a gay for pay site that shows guys who answer an ad for models to act in a straight porn movie. When the guys are told that the girls for the movie didn't show, they are told they can still get paid if they will jack off for the camera. Some do just that - jack off - while others are put with other guys and may jack off, get their cocks sucked or more. The site has made some improvements since our last visit, so join me for a look around.

The Bait Buddies member area is very simple and easy-to-use. There are text links running across the top of the page, and then the site gets right to business. You'll find the latest update featured near the top of the page with direct links to the videos, gallery and comments, plus a juicy description. This is followed by 12 more recent updates, each listed by date and a nice big thumb. There are a total of 128 episodes, each with video and pics. This is good news because the site had stopped updating for a while, but has been updating regularly once a week for several months now - and the newest streaming videos are bigger and better.

Bait Buddies is very focused on the videos. Each of the videos is available in 1 downloadble WMV and 3 or 4 sizes of streaming Flash. The WMVs are shown at between 640x360 @ 1100k to 720x404 @ 1.65 Mbps. These videos are good amateur quality and play smoothly, and since they're DRM-free, whatever you download will play for you even after your membership has expired. And for those who prefer to watch instantly, the highest quality Flash vids start to play almost immediately, the older ones similar in size and quality to the WMVs. The 44 newest Flash videos are shown in average or better HD at 942x542, and are a pleasure to watch. All the videos are full scenes with good sound.

Bait BuddiesEach episode also comes with a set of pics. The pics could be bigger, but quality isn't bad, and while the gallery thumbs are tiny, the full sized pics make it easy to check out the action. I wasn't thrilled with the galleries as they are Flash based, and sort of pop up over the previous page, but they do get the job done. And for those who find sets they'd like to keep, each gallery can now be downloaded as a zip file.

Bait Buddies takes several different directions. Some of the oldest videos show a woman meeting the potential model. She explains to the guy of the day that the other model for the shoot didn't show up, talks the guy into masturbating for her by indicating she might do a scene with him. Sometimes she brings out a "bait boy", a guy who is more than willing to replace the girl the guy was expecting to fuck. Sometimes they skip the woman and get right to the bait boy. And sometimes the guy grabs his cock and jacks off in order to audition. While some of the episodes have sex and some have only j/o action, for those of us who love watching guys masturbate, this isn't a problem. The result is that some of these straight guys, who were very horny from expecting to fuck a girl on video, end up doing things they didn't expect. Sure, they have to be worked up to it, but that's part of the fun ;)

Bait Buddies memberships come with access to their blog, which basically lists the updates with descriptions, and to 1 bonus site that offers a collection of DVDs and another of gay feeds in a wide variety of porn niches from wrestling to amateurs to black guys. There's also a selection of online games with a gay porn twist.

Bait BuddiesI'm glad to see the changes inside Bait Buddies - new HD streaming Flash videos, downloadable photo set zip files, as well as improved navigation. And most important of all, the site is updating again, and thanks to the fact that the 44 most recent updates are now dated, we can see that the site has been updating regularly for a while now.

Bait Buddies is a cool site. There are no upsells to sex toys, live chat or DVDs. But Bait Buddies does have some well-done tricked straight guys shoots and some very hot and horny guys - 128 of them - in amateur to good amateur quality videos and pics. These DRM-free videos are fast to download or you can watch the streaming versions, and have great sound and plenty of hard straight guy cocks. And there's the bonus site, with tons of extra content. If you're looking for a gay-for-pay site, these videos are pretty good stuff, so why not check out Bait Buddies!

Things we liked:

  • Exclusive content
  • Videos are downloadable
  • No DRM used
  • Fun "tricked straight boy" theme
  • Regular weekly updates

Things we didn't like:

  • Only streaming videos are available in HD

Smoker | 22 Mar 2010 | My rating: 2 out of 5 stars

I have subscribed to this site three times over the last 5 years. It has improved in so much as they do update much more frequently.

I can also appreciate how believability has been introduced somewhat by bringing in the dark haired, blessedly endowed with large succulent breasts.

Credibility is stretched to the maximum with the transgendered female. Straight men may be desperate, but rarely that blind. Especially when things are being thrown at them unplanned.

Robin's and Carusoe's influence has brought much needed improvement. But I do find it terribly disappointing seeing another "straight" man come in that was also tricked on sites such as BAITBUS and the like.

Having said all of this, it just depends on what your willing suspension of disbelief meter is for the month you may be subscribing. If you give in entirely to that, you will spend many hours enjoying the fantasies created. If your meter is more on the cynical side that month, then perhaps you should move on. Thanks for letting me have my say.

I am happy to report that BaitBuddies is now updating scenes every Thursday! I was a fan of this site a couple years back and recently got a newsletter informing me that they are now producing new content with weekly updates. I have re-joined and WOW - the content is now shot in HD and streams in Flash or you can download the HD without DRM. All the new content is dated, so you can tell when they update the site. Looks like every Thursday a new scene goes up. The quality is now MUCH better than a couple years ago and the guys are very hot too! I personally love this fantasy site and could care less whether the guy is gay or str8, in other porn or not, I just get off on the whole idea that a str8 guy is doing things with another dude for the 1st time ever (even if their not, I can still believe) haha - You should re-look at this site now...MUCH BETTER!

This is one of the worst sites and biggest waste of money of any site I've ever joined. They make it seem like there's a new update each week, so you'd assume at least 52 per year, but once you get past the first page of videos, all the dates say "archive," meaning none are new. On top of that, the vast majority of guys in these videos are either not attractive or obviously not str8. It's a joke. Save your money and don't join this site, because it blows, and not in a good way!
