The name Sean Cody sounds familiar for some reason. After reading about the site SeanCody.com, I learn that this is a "break free from the mold" and pressures of a puritan society. Although this is primarily a gay site, the men that you will find inside the member's area can be straight, gay, or bi-sexual and "most of them have never been in front of the camera before". SeanCody.com has been in action for quite some time so your $27.95 monthly fee gives access to a large archive of video content (620+ shoots), although the current update schedule is unknown. It's also worth noting that members who choose to stick around for 3+ months receive a nice little drop in price, which once again drops even lower after the 6 month mark.
The Good:
- Exclusive gay content and a lot of it. 620+ videos is just an amazing amount and should keep most users busy long enough to see their first loyalty drop in price. The scenes usually start off giving users a chance to get to know the models (some of which are recurring participants) before the jump right into kissing, blowjobs and naked hardcore action. There are also quite a bit of solo masturbation scenes to check out, as well as 3somes and orgies. Each video runs between 15-20 minutes in length.
- Each scene is accompanied by a short description giving some model and scene information. Movie stills are offered for most scenes (all newer ones), and some even offer high-res photos to boot.
- Newest updates offer WMV and QuickTime formats with different quality options ranging from 250k and up to 7000k! These are some sharp looking videos!
- Loyal members will see a drop in price after the first 3 months, and then again after 6 months, bringing the price down to a reasonable $19.95 per month.
The Bad:
- No date stamps or clear update schedule. This is a very large archive of entertaining video content, but who knows if they even update anymore? And when?
- Site design is too basic. All content is basically browsed in chronological order (I'm guessing since there are no date stamps). A drop down menu with models listed in alphabetical order, but this feature really won't even be useful until users gain familiarity with the site and its models.
- Older content quality is not as nice and there can even be a slight range in quality from the most recent videos (3000k - 7000k).
The Conclusion:
Sean Cody is a smart man, and he runs a smart site. Although very basic, the member's area content gives users just enough of what matters to keep things satisfied; nice looking hardcore content, and a lot of it. I'm really impressed by the quality of the latest shoots, but the lack of date stamps or clear update schedule is somewhat alarming. Besides that, my only other real gripe is the lack of browse options. The addition of a model index or categorical search feature makes getting around feel a little too basic. In the end though, this is a reasonably priced site offering exclusive content and high quality downloads.
