If you like watching straight guys as they have their first gay experience or jack off on camera for the first time, you may have seen Broke Straight Boys before. We first reviewed Broke Straight Boys when the site was brand new over 4 years ago, and since then the site has had time to grow - and grow it has. In addition to having 428 episodes, it has some new features, updates more frequently and the newest videos are HD, still with the same great video options that I liked so much originally. Ready to learn more? Then join me for a closer look at Broke Straight Boys!

The member home page is one of the things that's been improved. At the very top of the page is the member links which repeat a little further down. Below that are the 3 latest updates, most recent behind the scenes video added, upcoming updates and member favorites. On the right side of the page there's an ad, links to Twitter and Facebook, top 15 forum posts, and at the bottom of the page are links to the bonus sites. The site currently offers 428 episodes, and adds a full update 3 times a week - Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

The newer videos are offered in WMV and MP4 at 1280x720 with bitrates just over 3 Mbps. These are good amateur quality or better, and are available in 2 smaller broadband sizes plus a smaller MP4 version for portable devices. The older vids are shown at between 480x360 and 640x480 at 1 Mbps to about 2 Mbps in WMV, Quicktime and Real. These are also good amateur quality, although not as sharp and clear as the newer videos, and are available in 3 smaller sizes. WMVs, MP4s, Quicktime and Real videos are all downloadable and DRM-free, and for those who don't want to download, all videos are offered in streaming Flash.

Here's good news for photo lovers. Most of the episodes here offer sets of digital stills, as well as sets of vidcaps. Offered in thumbnailed galleries, the digital stills are amateur to good amateur quality with a few lighting issues or an occasional blurry pic, and mostly the newer pics look pretty good. Offered at about 900x1200 the pics capture the action pretty weell. Since most of the episodes also come with a set of vidcaps, you can always check them out to preview the action of the videos.

Broke Straight Boys members get access to 28 behind the scenes videos, including model interviews plus there's a forum. There's also 5 bonus sites - 2 exclusive gay sites, 1 site featuring content from a well-known site, another site full of gay plugin feeds and a straight site. The 2 exclusive sites are pretty hot. One, Straight Boys Jerk Off, features horny guys willing to jack off for money. This site's content is exclusive as is College Boy Physicals, an exclusive medical fantasy site. All in all, I'd say the bonus sites add a lot of value for members who are looking for even more porn.

There are a few issues. The join page has a pre-checked cross sale on it, so be sure and read before you join. While some of the performers really do seem believably str8, some of the "straight" boys will set of your gaydar. And the interviewer can be annoying and a bit over the top, but he does pace the scenes well. While the older videos could be better quality, the newer ones are sharper and clearer, and the 62 newest episodes are shot in HD and look good.

Broke Straight Boys takes cute straight guys and puts them in situations where they stand to make a lot of money by sucking or jerking another guy or letting a guy suck their cocks. The videos are well shot with good sound, many options and they can be downloaded or streamed. A nice long description of each shoot adds a personal feel to the site, and 3 updates per week plus several bonus sites should keep members horny and happy. Whether you're looking for a gay for pay site or just like watching college aged guys fuck, suck and jack off, Broke Straight Boys is definitely worth checking out!

Things we liked:

Exclusive content
Videos are downloadable
No DRM used
3 full weekly updates
Can do 4+ simultaneous downloads

Things we didn't like:

Pre-checked offer on join page
Older videos could be bigger/better quality
Older pics on the small side
Some of the straight boys don't appear to be "straight"..

I agree with others that this site was far better when D&E were producing. The new site StraightRentBoys is now being done by D&E and it's even hotter then what they filmed after they were fired by Brokestraightboys. I like listening to David talk and interview the models because he is funny and makes you laugh with the models, but Clay is a yawn. I do give BSB a 3.0 though because it's worth the price *only* for the old videos archive.

Don't know what your connection to the previous producer was, but this site is hotter than it ever has been. I have also been a member on and off since the beginning of the site. One thing I used to hate (had to fast forward past) was the interviewer, who sounded like an accountant! The guy who interviews now sounds like a dude. And Jimmy is the epitome of a straight boy! Love his face! Love his cocksure additude! This site floundered for a while, but has come back better than ever.

I have been a member of Broke Straight Boys, on and off, since 2006. It used to be the hottest site on the net in my opinion, they got mainly straight guys to have gay sex and love it after awhile. I know that these guys knew what they were getting themselves into and that they weren't coerced, and the director (David) always admitted if there were gay or bi guys on there, but usually they had never been in porn before and the few who had been, he was always up front with us.

The straight boys, you could tell they were straight. And usually they'd have a few scenes, do pretty much everything in some cases including getting fucked, and then they'd be done and it would be time to bring in new amateur guys. What was so great about this was not only was it hot, but the scenes were almost always funny because David got the guys to have fun with it and he'd joke around with them and get them to feel comfortable with the whole thing.

Last year, they fired David and D&E Productions from filming, and it pretty much went downhill from there.

They hired this new director who goes by the name "Clay", and a new production company to film their content, and it took like a *month* of new content before they even had any sex scenes! Everything was solo jack off scenes which very few people get into. I mean it's fine to have a new guy do a solo scene to introduce him to the viewers, but come on.

And then when they started having sex scenes, this "Clay" loser would stand there and interview them for like 20 minutes before any clothes would start to come off.

So fast forward a couple months, and the content still sucked. Not a single new scene made it onto the Members Favorites section of the website, I mean the member favorites were ALL stuff from when D&E Productions was producing the content.

And what was worse, was suddenly the guys weren't having fun with it anymore. They all claimed they HATED gay sex, and you could tell they were truly hating it. They couldn't get hard, they would all but call each other the f word, and Clay would literally dump cash on them when they were done having sex.

Eventually some of the content was getting better a lot of the time, with the exception of this straight model called Jimmy. Jimmy is hot and everything, but he's getting fat and plus you can tell he *hates* having gay sex. He literally gets his dick sucked and that's pretty much it. He does fuck sometimes, but it's always exactly the same thing. Closeups of him drilling a greased hole, and he puts no effort into it whatsoever other than in and out in and out in and out until he cums, end of scene.

But now, I feel that Broke Straight Boys has really jumped the shark.

They're crossing over models from College Dudes onto Broke Straight Boys, which just does not work. College Dudes is a completely different genre altogether, those boys are into it. They're usually hard right out of their pants, and they love kissing, making out, rubbing each other's bodys with passion, and they're just generally all very gay acting and flowery about it all.

Well BSB truly is a site about straight amateur broke boys getting it on for money. But now suddenly they're crossing over models like Rob Ryder over to Broke Straight Boys, and it just doesn't work! So now their whole fantasy about straight guys getting it on with each other has been lost, or at least really blurred. Not only that, but to me it's a rip off that they're crossing models over from one site to the other, yet you have to pay for each site separately which to me is unfair.

To make matters worse, they could have at least chosen a College Dudes model to bring over who no one has ever seen or heard of before, but instead they choose Rob Ryder. Rob Ryder has been in gay porn for years, he was a Colt model before he started working on College Dudes. He's also all over the internet you can see plenty of his content for free on various tube sites and to me that's just not fair to make you pay for a full monthly membership fee for a certain type of content (which I am happy to pay) but then they suddenly start changing the format on us and it's gone from broke straight boys to rich porn star gay boys pretending to be broke and straight and fuck each other.

I have cancelled my membership in protest, and will not rejoin again until they bring back the broke straight boys that made them famous to begin with!
