Sean Cody
site reviews > Amateurs > Sean Cody
Sean Cody is one of the best-known amateur sites on the web - and for good reason! There are currently over 380 videos inside Sean Cody, all exclusive to the site and all featuring hot amateur guys in solo or hardcore action. Most of the guys are straight and have never been on camera naked before. They are mostly regular guy next-door types who I personally love to watch jack off on video and you can see previews of every model to get a good idea what the site is about.
The navigation in Sean Cody is simple, clean and easy to use. The main menu is on the left side of the page. The member area and tour are basically the same areas, so you can get a very accurate idea of what Sean Cody is about before joining. Non members can see the preview pics and also read all about the guys and the videos for every single movie. Members can view the movies and pic sets where non members get access to a limited number of pics per set and no movie access.
When you log into the site, you are taken to the video listings, although you still have the menu on the left so you can move through the site. Although the videos have no dates, it's obvious that the site updates regularly. A site doesn't get to have over 380 videos without updating. The guys seem to be listed in date order judging by the quality of the videos and the lighting.
All the movies inside Sean Cody are offered in your choice of streaming or downloadable. The older movies come in 2 speeds and the newer come in 3. The movies do use DRM, but after you license the first video, there is no further interference.
I like the brief interviews in the Sean Cody movies. They're sexy and the sound is good. I also like the interviewer's voice, which is mellow and sexy and presumably it's Sean himself. The interviews add a more personal feeling to the site, as does the "Who is Sean Cody" and "About the Guys" sections found on the menu. In fact, one of the things I like about the site is there is a feeling that real people are involved in making it. You get to know about Sean as well as about each model, and that is one of the things that makes this site stand out.
The older movies are shown at 320x240 and the higher of the two speeds offered are good amateur quality while the lower speed is fair amateur quality. As videos get newer, sizes and qualities improve and things just keep getting better. The best quality of the newest videos are shown at a really nice 960x540, which is widescreen and satisfyingly large while the other two speeds aren't too bad, either.
The pics are the weakest part of Sean Cody. The pics are vidcaps rather than digital stills, and although they are very good quality - for vidcaps - they are small and there aren't that many of them in each set, which is shown in a thumbnailed gallery. The thumbs on each gallery are small. I mean REALLY small. At 52x35, they are literally smaller than a postage stamp, so you have to look closely to see what's going on in each thumb.
Beside the solo and gay movies and pics, there are 3 movies in the Guys & Girls section. You'll find a couple, a M/M/F threesome and a gangbang where 4 straight guys fuck one willing girl. These movies are shot to show the guys in action rather than the girls, so if you want to see real straight guys doing the thing they love the most, be sure and check out the movies in this section.
Sean Cody is one of the best amateur sites I've seen - and I've seen a lot of them. The guys truly are hot amateurs shown masturbating or sucking and fucking in good quality videos. There's plenty of movies to choose from and navigation is very easy. There are no blind links, non-exclusive content or advertising to annoy or intrude. There are a few things I didn't love. The site uses DRM, but it's pretty unobtrusive for DRM. While the pics are vidcaps, they're not bad for vidcaps. Amateur guy lovers make sure to check out Sean Cody. With more content and hotter models than most amateur sites, and over 380 videos, you won't be disappointed!

I just thought I would let you know of a new development that apparently has been happening with Sean Cody.
They have changed the web site to hide in the terms that if you download more than 5 gigabytes in one day, which is very easy for a new member to do. They permanently close your account, and when emailed tell you too bad, you violated our terms and we get to keep your money legally.
May people who were members before are VERY upset, feeling like they have been a victim of fraud since this change is hidden deep in some huge terms and conditions page link.
Why they simply don't pop up a notice, or stop your downloading, or put it in plain view on the site they won't answer.
So basically you get one time if you download a bunch when you start, which is easy considering things are hi def now, then they shut you off and tell you too bad , we are keeping your money. I used to think Sean Cody had a great site, but in my mind his reptutation just went into the trash permanently and I am not a mean guy.
I rang several friends, who had heard of many people being screwed over the same way. The only thing we wondered if this is what Sean himself really wanted, or is his billing company ccbilling doing this. A few guys said it felt like criminal fraud. I am not a lawyer so this is just what I have experienced and seen. I think it's a real shame, I really liked that site's models.
Considering they went back to a NO DRM, I find this really weird. You pay and if you get caught by this secret hidden clause in the terms you lose your money and get nothing. I thought you might want to post or write something about it since my friends knew dozens of people who said they had heard of similar experiences and were avoiding Sean Cody now and going to Randy BLue or Blake Mason or other sites.

The content on the site is second to none; however, the management is apparently handsoff and problem resolution is less than adequate. Support is adequate at best.
