BG Review
Online since 2001,
Straight College Men
was one of the first sites in the "naked straight guys" niche. It continues to excel, with 400
quality videos of cute, young and masculine amateurs. Webmaster Matt has a quirky charm and a
friendly, relaxed connection with his recruits. Hearing these guys chat is like eavesdropping on a
conversation with young, naked America. Videos are larger now than a year ago and while you pay a
bit more for your first month, recurring monthly prices have dropped sharply.
Tour
You can check out all the guys in the "Preview" area of
Straight College Men. There you'll
find stories about how Matt met them, along with free photos and video clips. The "Auditions" area
is also a type of preview, allowing you to scroll through the auditions and see thumbnail images -
but no clips - of more than 160 guys who have auditioned for the site.
Navigation
Navigation of
Straight College Men
is reasonably straightforward, with the main navigation bar in the left column. From the home page,
click "Videos" or "Auditions" to get to the content. After checking out the story that accompanies
the video, click "Stills" for images, or "Video" for the movie. The options for video and stills
will appear in a pop-up window.
Content
Matt chats in depth with these studs, asking them all sorts of nosy questions about their sex
lives. It's pretty cool because you don't usually find an obviously gay guy talking to straight guys
so frankly about jerking off, first-time sexual experiences and what they like to do in bed. And
unlike many so-called "straight boy" sites, these guys come across as the real McCoy. Matt also
writes up a detailed, illustrated essay for every session he films.
In the solo sessions, after a revealing interview, a young hottie might start off fully clothed out
of doors; later he goes inside and strips down to jerk off on a bed or couch while watching straight
porn -- which you can hear in the background. A shower scene is sometimes part of the video as
well.
About half of the more recent videos are duo or group sessions. There is always a good deal of
conversation to get things warmed up, and then these straight boys go at it with gusto. Check out
the six man "log cabin weekend" the group vacation to Hawaii, or the fifth anniversary party -- with
a kilt theme!
There are also many "Audition" videos which don't have the essay, photosets or the level of editing
that the regular videos have. These fellows fall into a range of types, many of which are not in the
Straight College Men mold, but
there are will certainly be some to satisfy every taste.
In total, there are over 400 videos available on
Straight College Men (240
"Auditions" and 160 regular "Videos"). The regular videos run between 30 and 45 minutes each, much
longer than you usually get on a porn site. But the updates of the more popular regular videos are
only about once a month, and sometimes a particular video project is spread out over two or three
separate videos.
There are many video options on this site. You can stream or download in Quicktime, Real and
Windows Media formats at three different speeds (the largest plays in 770x430 window.) The videos
used to be divided into several clips, but now they are full-length. There are even 3 "portable
player" options, for iPods, iPhones and PSP. And there's no DRM on the videos.
The production values of the videos are very good, especially considering that these are single
camera shoots, with a nice variety of shots and many poses. There's a lovely rich quality and color
tone to these movies, highlighting the golden tans, smooth skin, and lean muscular frames of these
teen and twenty-something amateurs.
All the images on
Str8 College Men are
video captures and they tend to be very small in size. The more recent videos do not have vidcaps at
all: instead you'll get some Flash snippets in order to give a taste of the video. In other words,
join for the video, not the pics.
Straight College Men's pricing is
unusual, with initial costs high, but rebills quite low. The $31.95 one week non-recurring
membership is a lot considering most sites charge less than that for an entire month. The one month
recurring membership is $44.95 for the first month but it drops to only $17.95 on the second month.
Then there is the option to pay $54.95 for the first month, which drops to a bargain basement $12.95
on the second month.
Summing Up
Straight College Men will impress
you with its excellent quality videos. It's a well put together site brimming with personality and
is a good choice for anyone with a penchant for young and innocent straight guys.
