Mighty Men
site reviews > Muscle & Jocks > Mighty Men
I love bodybuilders and hunks so I never turn down the opportunity to review a new muscle man site. Today we're taking a look at one of the oldest hunk, stud and muscle sites on the web, Mighty Men. Mighty Men is the work of photographer Jon Royce, who has specialized in muscle, jocks and newcomers for years. The tour is rather old school but the guys on it are hot. so let's check out the Mighty Men member area.
Part of the member area of Mighty Men isn't actually its own area. When you are almost to the bottom of the first tour page, you'll see a button that says NEXT. It leads to a page with 51 thumbs of guys, some nice and muscular, and plenty of text telling about each guy. When you go to click your first thumb, you'll be asked for your username and password. Or you can simply click the Members link at the top of any of the tour pages and log in.
The men of Mighty Men are a varied bunch. There are some big buff bodybuilders, some amateur muscle guys, some men I'd consider hunks and there are hairy guys. There are also some slender but althetic guys. Speaking for all the content available with your membership, you will find a good selection of hardcore gay sex, stripping with masturbation and also some classic muscle posing pics and videos. Before we talk about the content, there is one thing I think members should know.
When you are ready to go to page 2 of the member area, you may not see a link to another page. Don't panic! You can either click the link that says "Some muscle boys and gym boys moved to: Stud Directory Page 2 - muscle boys, gym boys original home pages or keep scrolling down and you will see a next button on the right. Now onto the content.
The good news it that most of the models on Mighty Men are hot and many are well-built and muscular. More good news is you can see some hot muscular jocks as they jerk off, always a plus.
If you read the text on the right of the thumbs on the first member page, you will often find links to the videos. The videos are WMVs, shown at a screen size of 320x240. The more recent videos are fairly good quality, streaming at 521k. If you choose to enlarge these videos to 200% they are still not bad to watch, but you will see a loss of sharpness in the video. If you choose to go full-screen, expect a noticeable loss of quality.
The older videos are a little lower in quality, some streaming around 358k. While the sound is good and the videos are amateur to good amateur quality at their original size, these videos don't look very good if you choose to enlarge them.
The member pic sets are extremely varied in size and quality. Some hardcore sets are very high quality and shown at a medium size of 500x375. Some sets are about that screen size but are much lower in quality - amateur quality or lower. There are muscle pic sets for members that are smaller and lower quality than one usually sees in a site. One set I checked out had a pretty hunky guy but his pics were shown at a screen size of 300x382. Members should be careful not to go to the preview sets as they are lower quality than the member pics and many have distracting amounts of writing on them.
I didn't find Mighty Men to be very well organized. If you'd like to watch only videos, or see only pics of muscle men or see only hardcore videos you will have to hunt through all the other content. Another thing that confused me is if you keep clicking the next buttons on the lower right to get from page to page, you will find yourself on pages with around 50 content listings, and then suddenly you'll find yourself on a single model's page. Click the next on his page and you may either end up on another listing page or another single model.
Part of the content members of Mighty Men get to explore is actually from their other sites, Mighty Jocks and Muscle Elite. Sometimes you will sort of end up in the other sites without realizing it, sometimes there are clear banner links taking you there.
I got rather mixed signals from Mighty Men. The title and some of the text on the tour made me expect bodybuilders. Some of the guys on the tour - and in the member area - aren't bodybuilders, although some are. There are plenty of soft and hardcore videos and pics although the site navigation doesn't offer you any choices. If you are looking for a site packed with only bodybuilders, perhaps this is not the site for you. If you are a muscle fan but also enjoy hardcore sex and all sorts of guys, why not check out the Mighty Men tour where you will find samples of what the men on the site and the photography styles are like.
Things we liked:
- Exclusive content
- Some very hot guys
Things we didn't like:
- Unknown when site updates
- Some content is low quality
- Navigation is quite confusing

My rating:
Oh my aching head, talk about confusing. I liked some of the stuff, but had such a headache from looking, that it sort of turned me off a little.
I suppose a site that's been around awhile will be like that, though I don't know. A good housecleaning is in order and i know just who to get to do it too.
