GayDemon's review of Bait Bus

Bait Bus is probably the original trick-a-straight guy reality site, and it's still going strong after all these years. It's as popular and as hot now as it was then and the old magic is still working. The idea is this: two guys drive around in their van with a sexy girl on board, and she is used as bait for the passing straight guys. They are tricked into getting into the van on the promise of a blowjob, but actually end up getting blown by one of the guys, or sometimes even fucked. You may have seen the site before, or you might have seen others that tried to emulate it, but this is the original, so climb aboard and read what Bait Bus now has in store.

You get to the home page via an advertisement page, which is a bit annoying, but once you're there you find the three latest episodes listed, dated and described. They're each shown with a sample photo, beneath these episodes are 28 other recent updates. To the side is a list of the top five episodes, and then some more advertisements. A top menu takes you to the full set of updates and these date right back to 2001. When we last saw the site, nearly two years ago now, there were 189 exclusive videos. Now there are 268 and although the movie pages state that the site updates every day, it actually adds a Bait Bus episode every week, more or less.

The Bait Bus videos are DRM-free and offered in WMV and MPG format, with full scene versions to stream, the scene in four parts and in shorter clips. I found the more up to date movies at 640 x 480 @ 1 Mpbs, and some at 720 x 404 @ 1.23 Mbps. The older movies were small - they are shown at 352 x 240 @ 217 kbps, but after all, some of them were nearly ten years old. It's odd: the site generally adds one new movie per week, and has them listed so you can view by year, but a couple of years have no updates at all, and pre-2004 there are only a few a year. These old ones are interesting to see, but you get better quality and more viewing in more recent years.

Clicking on the full scene options brings you to a streaming player at 640 x 480 in size, with a download option beneath the screen which, when clicked, takes you back to the four part version. Quality is generally fine in terms of moviemaking and you have to give allowances for the fact that most of the action takes place in the cramped back of a moving van.

Images are found with their accompanying video, so there is no separate area for photos. You've got a set of screen caps with each video and these are also available in zip file downloads. Up to date screen caps are shown at 1280 x 720, and older ones at 640 x 480, and there are so many per set it's like a frame by frame analysis of the movie. You will find links to 'high quality photos' along with these screen caps, but when clicked these links didn't actually show me any pictures, an issue that we identified in our last review.

So how do you know these guys are really straight? Well, how do you know any 'straight' model is actually 'straight'? The thing to do is watch the scene from the start, listen to the chat and the persuasion, then as things unfold, watch the guys' reactions when they realise it's a male mouth around their cock. And then listen in as things heat up with the offer of money if the straight guys will go further. And then make up your own mind. There is something 'set up' about some of the videos, they feel a little bit staged, but they give us the right close-ups at the right time, they show us the sex, the lighting and sound are fine (considering we're often on the move in the bus).

Bait Bus has a good set-up to it, it's a nice idea and was a very good idea all those years ago. It's now been copied and, possibly, improved upon by other sites, but it is still a contender for straight-goes-gay fun and action. It could do with sorting out some of the issues around the archives' and missing photos, and some of the text and content numbers are not accurate. But if you like your straight men being tricked into gay blow jobs and sometimes persuaded to fuck a guy for the first time, then I reckon you should check it out for sure.
