- First Impression
Gay guys want to do straight boys. Or have straight boys do them, whatever. Don't lie, just admit it. All you gays, at some point in your life you have wanted a straight guy more than you've wanted that fabulous new Marc Jacobs sweater. Don't feel bad about it, it's human nature. We want what we can't have. Luckily, there are paysites that capitalize on this (I mean, hell, if you think about it, the very idea of paysites is getting people to want what they can't have) and that's where Str8BoyzSeduced.com comes in.
The visitor's homepage is kind of awesome, though a bit mystifying. The page has been kitted out to be like a pulletin board, on which photographs of straight boys being seduced have been pinned. Additionally, the navigational points have been done up as post-it notes on the bulletin board. It's an interesting, refreshing and unique idea, I'm just not sure how it's relevant to this particular genre. Props for originality though. The homepage also promises real straight boys having gay sex for cash. The site owner, Vinnie Russo, has credentials and just wants to teach straight men the "joys of busting a nut with another guy." You and me both, honey. You and me both.
- Navigation
Logging in, the site design calms down a bit. The page is still kitted out like a bulletin board and it's a nice backdrop. The header maintains all of the "craziness" of post-it notes, stickers, car keys, air fresheners and all that jazz. What's different, and what makes the site less busy, is that the post-it not navigation has been replaced with a newspaper cutout. The updates have taken on computer print outs pinned up on a bulletin board as well. It's calm and easy to navigate, which is pleasant. Some things that could stand to be streamlined is the big 8x11 sheet of recent updates. It's bulky and superfluous, especially as right below that are the actual recent four updates; I don't really need to go farther back than that. The other thing that is a bit extraneous is on the video page: rather than having a drop down menu or anything like that to navigate the 65 pages of videos, there are 65 separate links. There has to be a way to streamline this. -
- Content
Here's the thing about the video content: there is no high definition. But, this is definitely the genre where it works. It's like the videos were shot with a handheld video camera, which makes it feel a little seedier, a little more taboo. I like this, a lot. What doesn't work are the viewing options. Stream the videos online in WMV format (which is kind of a bitch for Mac users), or download to watch at your leisure (including a format for your iPod...I wonder if Steve Jobs would approve...). There is no original photo content whatsoever which kind of makes sense: a picture is just a picture, how are you going to tell that it's about seducing a straight man? There are screencaps though, so if you absolutely need photographical content, there's something there for you. -
- Guys and Sex
The guys are usually pretty hot. When they're average-looking, the fact that they're straight and unattainable and being service by a guy kind of enhances the attraction. That attractiveness doesn't always segue into sizzling hot content, though. Sometimes the videos lack a little bit of urgency. Even the videos that are the top-rated are a bit mediocre at best. When the sex pops is when the straight guys get a little curious and fool around a bit more with Vinnie Russo, other than just getting head from him. This is the ultimate fantasy that gay guys have: getting the chance to go down on a straight guy is cool, but when the straight guy steps it up a bit, it's shocking and even better. -
- Value
There's a ton of extra value at Str8 Boyz Seduced. Membership at the site gives you access to the full CJXXX network, which includes such sites as Spunk Starz and Workin Men XXX (which, woof, I love me some blue-collar workers). There are also bonus DVD video feeds from a plethora of sources (including my all-time favorite bareback site, Paul Morris). Last, but not least, are Flash Games, which are old arcade games redesigned to be fun and porny. I had a blast with the x-rated puzzles. -
- Bottom Line
Str8 Boyz Seduced has a lot of potential. Making that content just a little flashier, a little more...seductive would really enhance the experience. In the meantime...where do I apply for Vinnie Russo's job? -
