Issues
No dates on content and no update schedule means there's no way to know when or how often site updates, all but 2 of the videos disappeared from the video section but can be found in the Episodes section, sometimes navigating the tour or member area would lead me to another site with a similar name and owned by the same guy.

Jon Royce's Mighty Men features as the tour says "America's hottest naked hunks, studs and jocks". And I must admit as I wander the tour that there are some very hot men here. There are some muscular and hairy guys, some very well-built amateurs and muscle men including some well-known pornstars as well as some "average guy" first-timers. And make no mistake - there's plenty of hardcore man-on-man action as well as bodybuilders and amateurs jerking off. You can browse all the episodes, which gives a very good idea of what to expect in the member area, but I didn't see a lot of claims although some of the previews make it clear that members can expect downloadable videos in WMV and MP4 formats. Want to know more? Then join me as I log in to see what's new at Mighty Men.
When you log in you'll find yourself on a splash page with links to the various sections in the site. You can choose from the following content sections: Episodes, Videos, Photos and Studs, which is the model index. The site currently offers 47 videos, 58 photo sets and 44 episodes, but for the most part these are the same content available in different formats. I also ran into some issues with the videos section (they may be currently upgrading), so I suggest you browse by episode or via the model index. There are no dates, so I'm not sure how often the site updates.
The more recent videos are offered in downloadable WMV and MP4 formats, and also streaming Flash. The new WMV's are mostly shown at 960x540 at above 5 Mbps, and they're sharp and clear. The MP4's are shown at 640x360 at just over 1 Mbps, and they're pretty good, too, and the older WMV's are shown at the same size and bitrate. I found a few larger HD videos in between the newest and oldest, but most fall into these sizes. For those who prefer to stream rather than download, the Flash vids are shown at 720x480, and while quality is lower than the downloadable videos, they're still pretty watchable. All the videos are DRM-free.
The Mighty Men galleries are a mix of digital still photo sets and vidcap galleries. The digital stills are sized between 366x550 and 518x750, and while the pics aren't that big, quality is mostly good amateur although some sets could be a little sharper. The vidcaps are pretty good for vidcaps, and I suspect that these are hand-picked and shrunk a little to improve the quality. All the pic sets can be viewed as thumbnailed galleries or viewed as hands-free slideshows.
Most of the men here range from well-built hunks and jocks to muscular bodybuilders, and some are also pornstars like Matthew Rush, Robert Van Damme, Vince Ferelli and Marc Williams. There are also some "regular guy" type amateurs. The site offers a variety of action - there are first time straight guys, gay sex scenes, solo muscle jackoffs and a few buddy jackoff sessions. These are mostly studio shoots, and the models seem to be really into the action. All the content is shot by Jon Royce, who is obviously very into muscle men and hot amateurs, and has done photography for magazines for years.
Like any site, this one has some issues. As already mentioned, I couldn't find update dates, nor did I find a schedule, so there's no way to know how often this site updates. There was a navigation issue - the videos listed on the video page sometimes disappeared so that only the first two were listed, followed by stripes. Last, while the content is bigger and better than on our last visit, I think there's less of it.
One last thing you may want to know - sometimes I would be navigating through the Mighty Men tour or member area, and I'd find myself on another domain. These domains seems to actually be part of this site, and are obviously owned by the same guy, but it is confusing.
The best part of Mighty Men is the men themselves. I like the mix of straight and gay, muscle men, hunky pornstars and amateur guys, and there's heat in the videos whether they're solo or hardcore. All the DRM-free videos are downloadable plus there's streaming versions available. There are currently 44 episodes plus I found a couple more videos and a few more pic sets, however there's no way to know when or how often the site updates. The bottom line, though - there are some hot men here, and if you like the guys on the tour, chances are good you'll like what you find in the member area of Mighty Men.
