GayDemon's review of Stocky Dudes

If you're into bears, chubs and stocky men, you know there aren't that many sites around focusing on these types of guys. Luckily there's a site called Stocky Dudes with a focus on bigger and heavier men. All the guys on the site appear to be amateurs, and there's a mix of hardcore and solo content. The site owner - also a stocky guy - does the actual camera work and the interviews himself, and the tour says the site offers Mac friendly video formats and no DRM, and mobile versions of the videos. The tour lets non-members see all the pics, and shows the sizes and formats of videos available - WMV, Quicktime and a mobile format. Ready to learn more? Let's log in and take a closer look at what Stocky Guys has to offer!

Both the tour and member area of Stocky Guys has been simplified and streamlined. There are 3 links at the upper right of the pages - the VIDEOS link will take you back to home from anywhere in the site - and then there are 27 good-sized thumbs, one leading to each episode. There are no dates showing when or how frequently the site updates, but there are 17 more videos than there were just under a year and a half ago, no banner ads or misleading links.

There's a lot to like about the videos at Stocky Dudes. Each is offered in 3 downloadable formats - Quicktime, WMV and M4V or MP4. The Quicktime and WMV vids are offered in 3 sizes, the best of which is 960x540 @ 2.82 Mbps. These are good amateur quality and play pretty smoothly. The smaller broadband sizes are good for those on slower cable or DSL. Except for the 3 newest videos, which played perfectly on my iPod, the iPhone/iPod videos didn't work for me on either my iPod Touch or my cell phone, but played perfectly on my computer. For members who don't want to download the videos, there's also streaming Flash videos available. These are shown at 640x340, and while they're not quite as good in quality as the broadband Quicktime and WMV vids, they're pretty good.

The videos all have good sound, and for amateur videos they are mostly also well lit. There's a good amount of closeups and medium shots, and none of the videos use DRM, which means that the videos you download will continue to play after your membership has expired, and all the video formats will play for Mac users.

Each episode of Stocky Dudes also comes with a set of pics. They're good amateur quality digital stills that capture the action well. There's been a change here as the pics are now smaller, shown at 450x600, and there are now 13 pics per set. They're also now offered in downloadable zip files.

The men of Stocky Dudes are amateurs who vary from just a little on the plump side to big hairy bears and chubs. They seem to be having more fun than the models I see on some amateur sites - they seem comfortable and really into what they're doing. Right now there are 16 hardcore shoots and 11 solo shoots, the older ones starting with a brief interview, the newer ones getting directly into the action. I found the sex and the masturbation here to be very hot, partly because both the models and the photographer are into it - it really does make a difference.

This site only has a few issues. First is that there's no dates on the updates, and that there have only been 17 updates in the last 18 months. Since there are no dates, there's no way to know if the site updates about once a month or if it updated more frequently and stopped updating. And last, most of the iPod/iPhone videos don't play on gen3 and gen4 models, although I understand that they will play on earlier models just fine.

If you prefer your men with a little meat on them, Stocky Dudes delivers. All the men here are chubby or big, many are hairy, and all of them seem to be horny and turned on by being on camera. Site navigation is simple and easy to use, and while the site could use some growth, currently offering 27 episodes, I really liked the video formats and sizes as there's something for nearly everyone except dialup users. The largest videos are HD, and the quality is good. The only thing missing was dates to show when and how often the site is updated. The bottom line - if you like stocky men, bears and chubs - and you don't mind smaller sites - Stocky Dudes is definitely a site you should be sure and check out!
