Straight Guys was the first straight guy site I ever saw back a few years. Since then "straight boy" sites have become almost an industry of their own, but I still never got a chance to visit the member area of Straight Guys. Something I really like about the tour is if you click Articles & Stories at the upper right, it takes you to a some... er... interesting reading. "How to get straight cock!" is one of the articles. There is also "Cruising in a straight strip bar!" and 4 more stories. While this doesn't really tell us more about the site, it did convince me that the photographer for Straight Guys has spent a lot of time picking up straight guys, and that's what we're here to see. So let's jump into the member area and see if Straight Guys delivers.
When you first log into Straight Guys, you are met by a banner upselling another site. I think it's a little early to try to send me to another site since I just got here, but it's easy enough to avoid.
The main member page of Straight Guys is pretty basic and easy to figure out. All the episodes are listed right there on the page, each with a preview thumb, direct links to the videos and a gallery link. That means you don't have to leave the page to watch the movies. By scrolling down the page, you can see all the episodes - there are 12 of them. Underneath are 2 banner ads. And that's it.
Before we go any further, I wanted to let you know that this site does not update. It's been years. I really like the content here, although I wish vids and pics were bigger, but there isn't going to be more of it.
The Straight Guys videos are Real but not streaming, so you may have to wait a minute while the full movie downloads before it starts playing. These videos are amateur quality and have a small screen size but luckily they are good enough quality to enlarge to 200% with no major loss of quality. Personally I preferred watching the movies at 200%, and you probably will, too.
These movies aren't slick expensive productions. If you checked out the tour, you probably have a good idea what to expect. The models are pretty well-lit, but often they are in a darker room and the videography is not amazing. These videos are shot in an almost documentary style and definitely deliver what the tour promises. The guys are average guys, the action is raw and hot. Sometimes the photographer can talk the guy masturbating into letting "the cocksucker" suck on his dick or drink his cum.
The photos seem to be actual digital photos and not vidcaps, but they are fairly small - they're 512x384. They are very much amateur quality, and no one has removed the blurry shots. This adds to the feeling of the site, which has definite rough edgy feel. Considering that the site has been around for years, I'd guess that they don't update very often judging by the fact that there are only 12 episodes, but what is there is well-worth checking out if you're into this kind of content.
Straight Guys is one of the rare extreme amateur sites that seems to be exactly what they claim. From the photo quality to the action on the videos and the basic page layout, the impression is raw and hardcore. The biggest drawback is the small number of videos and pics and the fact that this site does not update. The biggest advantage is the gritty and real feel of the videos and roughness of the models. If that sounds interesting to you, and you don't mind smaller sites, why not check out the Straight Guys tour and see what you think.
Things we liked:
- Exclusive content
- Gritty amateur vibe
Things we didn't like:
- Site does not update
- Site is small
- Videos could be bigger and higher quality
