There's something about watching amateur guys get naked and stroke their cocks in front of a camera for the first time... I love amateur jackoff sites and today we're going to check out Stroke That Dick, a site that claims to have all straight amateur studs masturbating. The guys certainly looking like real first-timers on the tour, although I'm not sure they all qualify as studs. But that's okay with me - let's log in and see more of the men of Stroke That Dick.

When you log into Stroke That Dick, the left side of the page show the first 7 guys. Each is listed with a face shot and a cock closeup. On the right is the site menu. First comes "about the guys", followed by the member services which includes links to deal with a variety of issues. It also includes a member request link that leads to a missing page. Luckily for those members who would like to see a certain model return, there is a member request link on the menu on the right of the page with an email contact. Next is a newsletter link that has said it's coming soon for over 16 months, links for models and terms and last a link to the video store.

There are currently 119 videos listed at Stroke That Dick, 55 more videos than were listed 16 months ago. Each model's page includes some facts about the model, like his favorite celeb and what he does for a living, and also a profile including dick size, height and age. There are links to the video and also links to view the model's pics as a gallery or a slideshow.

I wouldn't call all the guys studs, although there are certainly some hunky guys to be found, There are also less hunky guys who are still very cute and horny and there are also some average normal guys. Since I like to see some average guys in an amateur site, I think the model selection is pretty good.

Each model's movie comes as a full download in your choice of Quicktime or WMV. There are 2 sizes of WMV - broadband and dialup - and 1 size of Quicktime video. Both sizes of WMV can be streamed or downloaded and there are links to download or play the Quicktime videos.

The broadband WMV and Quicktime videos are shown at a screen size of 320x240. At this size they look very good although if you enlarge them to 200%, the movies lose their sharpness a little and become average quality. I preferred the videos enlarged as I find 320x240 a little on the small side. At full-screen there was a very definite loss of quality so I think 200% is your best bet if you want bigger movies.

Some of the videos - I think the older ones - come with pics of average quality and fairly good size. Unfortunately when you click on a lot of the pic sets, you will either end up at a missing page or see text that says "We currently do not have a gallery for this stud. But as a consolation we would like to offer you a free preview gallery from one of our other great sites". I can't imagine why the people who own this site didn't include vidcaps for the videos they didn't have high rez stills for.

Something that annoyed me is that the text is linked to the tour of Next Door Buddies to make us buy a membership even though as members we already get access to Next Door Buddies. The content inside this site is pretty good but it's obvious from the missing pages, some missing preview thumbs and all the other problems that this site was thrown together in a hurry and no one ever checked all the links.

Members of Stroke That Dick get access to 4 other sites - Next Door Male, Next Door Buddies, Tommy D XXX and a straight site called Next Door Hookups. It's important to know that, unlike other sites that are part of a network, you will not find links to the bonus sites inside Stroke That Dick - members have to actually go to each site and log in using their Stroke That Dick login.

There are a couple issues I had on the tour of Stroke That Dick. One is that nowhere on the join pages does it mention that the join options rebill - you have to go to the terms page and read it carefully to find this info. Also when I hit back from the join page, a popup appeared and a rep (or a bot) tried to convince me to join the site.

There are some things I'd like to see inside Stroke That Dick. It would make navigation much easier for members if they could choose which a page instead of being forced to go from page to page in the listings. I'd also like to see a date for each update. Because there are no dates, there is no way to know if the newest videos are added on the last page or the first page. I believe that the oldest videos are on the last page of the listings, but this is only a guess. I'd also like to see vidcaps added to all the episodes missing pic sets and links to the bonus sites' member areas inside Stroke That Dick.

I liked the amateur models inside Stroke That Dick, and the videos are good quality with pretty good sound and I also think it's great that broadband and dialup users can enjoy the videos. It's a shame that over half the pic sets are missing and that navigation of the videos requires that you go through each page one at a time. The site has added 55 videos in the past 16 months, which averages to under 1 update per week. Still, members do get access to 4 bonus sites which definitely adds value. If you like watching amateur guys jack off, Stroke That Dick is worth checking out.
