Review date: June 2024
Broke Straight Boys was launched with a simple idea: a hot, young guy is broke. With no skills to speak of, he needs to do something fast to earn money. While the men on this site are not always "boys," there's a constant stream of new ones who mix it up with the resident studs. Most of the 2135 videos are in high definition that you can stream or download, though the downloads still top out at 720p HD.
Tour
The Broke Straight Boys main tour page emphasizes the most popular scenes on the site; you can also browse the full Episodes and Boys indexes. There are no free video clips or images on the tour; instead for each video there is one large image and a text description. Clicking further takes you to the sign-up page.
Be aware that the three day trial is streaming-only. And watch out for two pre-checked cross-sales on the sign-up page.
Usability
Broke Straight Boys navigation is straightforward, with prominent links to the complete episode index and the model index ("The Boys"). For each episode you're presented with a detailed description of the model and the shooting session, along with the video options and the image gallery.
Under "Tags" you can select by numerous categories and under "Search" you can do a general search. The model index can be sorted by over a dozen criteria (including cock size and age). You can also rate models, as well as rate, favorite and comment on videos.
If you want to skip to a later page in any specific section of the site, there is a drop down on the top right. The page links at the bottom of the site only allow you to skip through the catalog four pages at a time.
The Men and the Action
The site showcases over 590 of these apparently broke and straight guys. They are 19-25 year old amateurs, ranging from twinks to collegiate to rough around the edges types. Some look more amateur than others -- and it shows in their ability to put on a performance for the camera. They usually start the scene with a brief interview, in which the "straight and broke" aspect is emphasized -- but being broke doesn't seem to affect their enthusiasm in bed.
You'll find the range of: solo jerking, toys, sucking, rimming, hungry bottoms and cocky, masculine tops. This is a horny bunch, mixing up regulars and newcomers in solos, duos, and groups.
Video Details
The viewing quality of the most videos, rendered in high-definition, is excellent; older videos aren't quite as sharp but still very good. The lighting and sound are definitely above average. In composition and camera technique there's a bit to be desired. We found the one camera shoots a bit too static at times, and would like to have seen more camera angles, close-ups and poses.
BSB currently offers 2135 videos, averaging 25 minutes in length. The site is updated with a new video weekly; there are also re-released scenes in the "Classics" section to highlight fan faves. There are no download restrictions (unless you're really greedy and try to download a massive amount) so you can keep them as long as you want.
The MP4 streams added since late 2013 are offered at a maximum quality of 1920x1080p HD; previous HD streams (dating back to April, 2010) top out at 1280x720p. Older videos are standard definition. The streams play in a resizable player with a default size of 1100x600 pixels.
As for downloads, oddly they are not offered in full 1080p HD, as the streams are. Just over three-quarters of the downloads (added since April, 2010) are MP4s with a top quality of 1280x720p HD (2700 kbps). The oldest videos are standard-definition (640x480 pixels; 2000 kbps). These obviously don't have quite the technical quality of the high-def videos.
Screens: The site now has a fully responsive design, so its easy to use no matter if you are on a regular computer or mobile device. Those video in high-definition will also look great on TV-sized screens.
Image and Other Content
All videos are accompanied by a digital still gallery of about 30 pics, 900x600 pixels. These can be downloaded in a zip file. Older videos have both digital still and video capture galleries. The digital photos are up to 1200x900 pixels and good quality; the video captures are smaller and lower quality.
You also have access to some bonus sites with more hot younger guys in almost 1700 videos that you can download:
College Boy Physicals
HS Boys (a large selection of popular video plug-ins)
Boy Gusher
Another bonus is the large collection of Behind the Scenes videos. There are over 800 of them, mostly interviews with the boys, but also some on-set hi-jinks and special location footage.
Summing Up
Broke Straight Boys continues to be a very popular site that consistently delivers hot young amateurs in over 2135 videos, most in HD, along with regular updates. While these boys may be broke, their smooth skin, cute faces and hard dicks are definitely valuable currency.
