New York Straight Men features hardcore pictures and videos of straight men taken off the streets of New York for their first gay experience. Each story has a different spin. Sometimes the guys are friends who just jerk off together. Sometimes the guys get so hot while watching a “pussy porno” they can’t help but fuck each other. Some of the guys are macho and act like they never wanted to be with another man, others confess that they’ve always been curious but held back.
The Goods –
All of the content on New York Straight Men is exclusive. They shoot all their own scenes so each guy has that New York attitude. You won’t find this hot hardcore action anywhere else.
They’ve got a nice sized collection of videos. There are easily over 150 movies online, each around fifteen minutes long. That makes for a nice variety of men and action.
Updates come often. A new scene is added every five days. They even tell you ahead of time what the next update is complete with preview pic and description. They’re really keeping the site growing at a good pace.
The Bads –
The site design is very plain and lacks any helpful browse features. The main page features a large table of thumbnails of their men. It looks like they’re listed chronologically. There’s no way to view the guys alphabetically or to sort the galleries by category. With a good sized collection of content, this is a strikingly basic set-up.
There are no viewing options for the content. Movies play as full-length wmvs in one quality setting. There’s no choice for clips or other formats. If they’re just going to offer one way to watch the movies, what they’ve got is the most user-friendly to have available. More choices would still be nice, though.
Not all of the scenes have the mega-sized pics described in the tour. Most of the images are closer to 900x675 with just the newer galleries at 1141x856. They’re moving in the right direction, but keep in mind that most sets offer the smaller images.
Conclusion –
New York Straight Men offers a nice quality collection of original videos. The price is reasonable at $25 a month considering their relatively frequent updates. There are a few tweaks that could be made to make the site more user-friendly, but the entertaining content alone makes the site worth a look. This is definitely one that fans of straight guys gone gay will enjoy.

Review: 11-21-07 |
New York Straight Men have added 55 videos since our last visit a year ago which is right on track. There are now over 200 scenes online which is quite good for all exclusive content. There are still no browse features to speak of, which is disappointing, although they have added a Quicktime viewing option for the videos which is something. It's a strong and steady site that is overall a good one. I do hope they continue the upgrades, though, and put together a more advanced site.
Score increased from 77.5 to 78.0.

Another year has passed since our last look at New York Straight Men, and since then the site has continued to update every 5 days. They've kept up with the larger sized images so the content is really looking quite good. I don't see a whole lot that is different, except maybe the price which is up $1 to $26 a month. I'd still love to see a more advanced browse/search system, but all in all this remains an enjoyable site with entertaining videos.
Score increased from 78.0 to 79.0.
