I've said it before and I'll say it again, handjobs is a niche that's blowing up right now. Many companies are adding handjob sites to their collections. In case you're interested TBP has reviewed a couple other sites by the same company behind Stroke Jobs, they are Tony's Casting Couch and Angels of Porn. And yes all members do get access to all 8 other sites from this company. That's especially important since Stroke Jobs is a little short on content with just 28 episodes (as of 11/18/2004).
I wonder if the chicks prefer doing handjob scenes or more hardcore action. Certainly it's much less risky to do HJs but they probably get paid less. There's really not too much creativity needed for handjobs, it's not like hardcore where you can change positions and mix in oral, anal, etc. To spice things up a bit some of the girls turn around for simulated doggy style sex and others mix some sucking. Other than those variations the scenes typically play out with a brief intro, then on to the handjob, and the facial cumshot finishes things off. If you're into handjobs then that's probably the type of videos you're looking for. One thing I don't see is any movies with different numbers of people; all the current episodes are one girl yanking one guy. So far, he's done a good job picking girls, for the most part he's got himself a nice collection of cute young performers, most of whom are white chicks (there's one black girl and one asian).
Watching the videos can be somewhat frustrating. Even though both WMV and MPEG formats are included, things get dicey after that. Episodes aren't offered as one big file, just smaller clips (somewhere between 7-13 per episode). I could live with that, but even these smaller segments take a good deal of time to download or buffer. Specifically on the streaming it was very difficult due to the endless amount of buffering. My feeling is if I'm going to have to download the video I don't want to have to download 13 separate clips which unfortunately is the case here. Also, something seems to be up with the picture galleries. All I see are broken images, so hopefully they get that fixed. That's not a huge negative though, even if the galleries were perfect the videos are way more important to the site.
The site layout is simple and straightforward with a couple little aspects that I liked very much. First members can rate each video on a 1-10 scale with the best 10 highlighted in the left margin of the member's area. The range of the ratings is quite impressive, top episodes are over 9 and others range down into the 3-4 range. It seems the members use this system regularly and I used the scores to help me decide which vids to watch. The second item I liked was the 9 preview pics per episode. Some sites just give you a head shot of the girl, but these thumbnails layout the scene's action from start to finish. It's always good to get as much info as possible before starting the downloads. Membership costs $24.95/mo which is a bit high for just Stroke Jobs and its 28 episodes, but if you take advantage of the other 8 sites which have similar hardcore videos then you can certainly make it worth the money.

Review: 04-05-06 |
I see a few things that have improved on Stroke Jobs. First as I streamed the video clips I didn't run into the incessant buffering issue that I mentioned in my initial review. They were much smoother and played just fine. Also, newer movies have full length WMV and MPEG files which makes for easier downloading. Some still only have the smaller clips but it's good to see improvement. Finally, the number of episodes has just about doubled. Updates are still a bit erratic varying from a couple weeks to over a month apart. My conclusion now is that this is a fun handjob site that's part of a solid network.
Score increased from 74.1 to 76.4.
