Review date: June 2011

According to Bait Buddies, gullible straight guys are always getting conned into having gay sex. In fact it has happened on this site more than 180 times! While you might think these confused boys would be emotionally scarred for life, they seem to have big smiles after their happy endings. There are no solos here, only hardcore scenes, and in lots of them the poor straight guy is even the bottom. While the banter and the occasional presence of a female or gender-bending "coach" will fit with some viewers fantasies more than others, the video quality is impressive, particularly with the newly added, large MP4s.

Tour

The Bait Buddies tour is a full mirror of the site's video library. For each video you can watch a brief clip. Of course, watch a few of these and you'll have an excellent sample of exactly what's inside. There aren't many still pictures to look at, but the videos make up for that.

Usability

Bait Buddies' homepage is packed with visual links to the content inside. Up top is the newest video, followed by six graphic boxes for each of Latest Videos, the Most Viewed, and the Highest Rated. There are buttons across the top for The Guys, Videos, and for the Live and Archived Shows (though there was almost nothing there). There's a search box and sort features for the videos and for the guys as well as category tags on the video pages. You can rate your favorites and make comments. But overall the design is a bit crowded with many options being fitted on one page with small thumbnails and fonts.

The Men and the Action

The Bait Buddies come in a broad range of types for every taste, from hung college guys to masculine and horse-cocked "straights" like Jessie Alan. Unlike some other "straight" sites, the hetero guys are believably butch looking. Almost all of the scenes are shot indoors on a bed or couch.

A portion of every scene is dedicated to setting up the proposition that's made to the straight guy, and the performers are interviewed before and after sex by the affable Bait Buddies duo, Robin and Caruso (more recently just Caruso). Sometimes there is a real girl (fully clothed) coaching the boys and sometimes there is a male-to-female transsexual helping out. The set-up is, of course, crucial, and the interviews are a great feature. But sometimes the scenes get a tad too chatty. Mostly, Bait Buddies strikes a nice balance between engaging personal details and hardcore sex.

The more recent half of the videos are generally excellent quality particularly the ones labelled as HD MP4s; older ones range from good to very good. The camera stays fairly static during the initial pitch to the straight guy about how the girl had to cancel at the last minute. As the guys begin to undress, the camera starts to move smoothly around them, zeroing in on their many attributes. The light and the audio quality are both very good, and the cumshots are almost always caught.

Video Details

Averaging just under 40 minutes each, Bait Buddies' videos are much longer than average. With 183 scenes to date, and a new one added every week, your membership gives you many hours of straight-guy-on-gay sex. There is no DRM, so you may download and keep the videos for as long as you like.

Image and Other Content

Each of Bait Buddies videos is accompanied by a huge image gallery, generally about 300 pictures. Images are average-sized and good quality, but you can't save an individual ones and there's no slideshow. However you can opt to download entire image sets in a zip file.

For some reason or other, Bait Buddies decided to house their bonus content in a separate site called Island Porno. Here there are dozens of video plug-ins from various sources, including AEBN, as well as some homoerotic versions of classic arcade games.

Summing Up

If you like masculine straight guys and a seduction scenario, then Bait Buddies will definitely fuel your fantasies. It now has a good-sized selection of long-playing, well-produced videos that are carefully crafted to tap into the "gay for pay" genre. Just remember the 3-day trial does not include the option to download and keep the videos so it's best to go for the monthly membership.
