Str8 Hell

The whole thing about the site is sexy from the design to the actual models, and the only thing that I didn’t like was the starting process, the getting from the front page to the tour. Yes, I’ve read the agreement, now let me in! Hopefully you won’t have the same problem. I got into the members’ area just fine though and when I did I found that it was very similar to the tour pages. You've got various categories set out with large images to guide you to the content, and there is a stocked-up top menu which also guides you to other things in your members’ area.

Using the categories tab in that top menu I found a page where the various BDSM headings were set out: CFNM, Security guards, Binding, machines and toys, spanking, tickling and wrestling were all there along with casting movies and backstage footage. There are over 1269 scenes in total and this is the site; a site that replaced the company’s old Czech Guys Next Door, in case you were wondering. But here you've got all William H’s big fetish scenes and here you've also got his stamp of quality. I was able to view movies in large sizes where the quality stayed just fine, and there were good resolutions in both streams and downloads.

When you choose a scene you find a well set-out page with your stream and download options to the left of a neat player screen. There are usually five download options and a link to where you can buy the full high definition versions for WMV and burn it to a disc. I’m not sure how I feel about that, having to pay extra for the HD versions, and I wonder how many people actually do it. I found the basic stream at 640 x 360 worked fine for me and I’d happily stay as a member to get all the updates and extras and watch the movies online when I wanted them.

And just so you are sure: these movies are mainly twink and jock themed, though not all. You've got a mix of the Czech boy sexiness we’ve come to expect from this company, with hardcore S&M and bondage. You've got muscled hunks, skinny lads, but always smooth and sexy, and you've got everything from erotic wrestling in underwear to guys getting drilled by butt-machines. Think fetish and think glossy quality and you’re on the right track.

The movies come with galleries too and these are also linked from the left of the screen, below. There were your classic type galleries with pics and 800 x 600, and at 1280 x 1024, and here were also slideshow galleries plus zip file downloads, so no problems with the images.

What Str8 Hell also does really well is get you linked in. What I mean is, each video page comes with add to favourites, add new tags, and add comments functions. You can play previews, report problems and link in to your Facebook and other social networking accounts. Pages come with search boxes, and the handy top menu stays with you all the way, so you can click over to the other things that the site has on offer. These include: the Castings area for first appearances and chats from some of the model (non-BDSM themed); the Models area for a full searchable model index of guys, but not all of them? I only found 17; the newsletter link; a Live Camera area where you get to feed in live to the studio and see what’s going on backstage. This isn’t running 24/7 but there is a schedule to show you who and what’s coming, and when to check in, and it’s a totally unique feature I believe. Also in the top area you have links to your favourites collection, blogs, your account and settings, and some more free galleries. In fact, you will find just about everything you can think of for good interactivity, and navigation, plus detail.
