review of New York Straight Men, 2010-02-09

New York Straight Men finds all sorts of straight guys from the streets of New York and convinces them to get naked for the camera. Unlike some sites, this one inludes all kinds of guys - average guys, muscle men, hairy men, you name it. The free preview link on the right side of the first tour page leads to a preview of the actual member area and includes descriptions and sample thumbs as well as preview videos of the most recent updates. I like what I'm seeing in the tour, so I'm ready to head off the member area and see more of New York Straight Men.

The member area is well-laid out and makes it easy to choose a video to watch as each has a preview thumb. Once you have found a shoot you'd like to watch, just click the thumb to be taken to a description of the shoot. Click the portfolio link and the next page offers you the story of the shoot, pics, videos and a page for Mac users explaining how to watch the videos.

There are 138 shoots in the site at this time, each with pics and videos, and the latest updates are shown at the top of the page and also are added at the bottom of the listings. The site is updated every 5 or 6 days, which is pretty nice.

The videos are bigger than on most sites, shown at a screen size of 640x480 or 720x480. Most of the vids are WMVs and stream at between 1300k and 1500k at good quality and the not-so-new ones stream at over 1000k at good quality. The newest vids are available in both WMV and Quicktime format. The videos look good at full screen - the best are as good as a non-high definition video can look. And, in case you were wondering, the sound is also very good.

For the most part the videos start with an interview. The models sometimes seem nervous and we can watch as they become more comfortable and, as things go on, horny. There are a lot of jackoff videos, and I think straight guys jacking off is always a good thing. But there's more - there are some blowjob videos, a couple fuck videos and one bareback fucking video.

The New York Straight Men videos are available as full scenes. If you decide to stream them, they start playing pretty quickly but if you decide to right click and download them, expect a wait. It's not that the site is slow but the videos are mostly over 100 mb each.

The photography is amateur, but the kind of amateur that doesn't shoot pics or videos in dark spots and knows when to get a closeup. While the lighting is a little harsh at times, it never makes the models look washed out and when things are on the dark side, you can still see what's going on. The newer pics are better lit than the oldest.

The hardcore pics are large, shown at 856x1141, and the solo pics are 675x900 and are good quality. They are definitely shot by an amateur photographer, but one who tries to keep enough light on his models to make the pics pretty hot. There is an occasional blurry photo, but not too many. If you like pics, I think these will really turn you on.

It's not often I get to review a site I like as much as New York Straight Men. The site has a definite personality, the quality of the pics and videos are good and the videos are satisfyingly large in size as well as fairly long in duration. The site updates every 5 - 6 days. If you're looking for a site featuring real amateur guys in large, good quality videos and photos, I definitely recommend you check out New York Straight Men - you won't be disappointed!
