review of Bait Buddies, 2010-02-09

Bait Buddies is a site from the same folks who brought us Lost in da Hood and Big Dick Search. Bait Buddies has been around for a while - probably longer than the other sites in the program. 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 tabs for all the sites in the network on the top of the page. Below that on the right at the top of the page is a link to support, to the bonus sites and to sign up for the newsletter. And then the site gets right to business - you'll find the first 3 video episodes listed with text and links to the videos and the galleries. There are 33 pages of episodes, and there are currently 97 videos and pic sets total, which is only 7 more than on our last visit over a year ago. The site had stopped updating for a while. so I'm hoping this means they've started updating again.

Bait Buddies is very focused on one thing - the videos. Each of the videos is available in 1 downloadble WMV and 3 sizes of streaming Flash. The WMVs are shown at either 640x480 or 640x360 with a 1100k or higher bitrate. 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, and are similar in size and quality to the WMVs. All the videos are full scenes with good sound.

Each episode also comes with a set of pics. The pics could be bigger, but quality isn't bad for amateur work, and you can definitely make 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.

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 4 bonus sites in the same network - Big Dick Search, Gay Screen Test, Island Porno and Gay Amateur Sex. In addition, members get access to 41 gay and straight bonus sites and feeds in a wide variety of porn niches from wrestling to amateurs to black guys.

The only real issues I have with the site are that the Bait Buddies tab in the member area leads back to the tour, and that the site stopped updating for some time. Now there are several new videos, and I'm not sure when they were added. We'll check back in a few weeks and let you know what we find.

Bait Buddies is a cool site. There are no upsells to sex toys, live chat or DVDs. There are no dates on the videos so we can tell how often the site updates. But Bait Buddies does have some well-done tricked straight guys shoots and some very hot and horny guys - 97 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. The only issue here is that, as mentioned, I'm not sure if or when the site updates. Otherwise the site and its bonus sites have a lot to offer. If you're looking for a gay-for-pay site, these videos are pretty good stuff, so why not check out Bait Buddies!
