Straight Rent Boys offers a different take on "gay for pay" - guys who consider themselves straight, but make their money getting paid by men for sex. Most are anal virgins, so the guy shooting the video does his best to get them to take a cock up their ass - and for the right price, some go for it. The site offers exclusive videos, downloadable HD videos, weekly updates and 9 bonus sites. Sound good? Then join me for a look at the member area.

The Straight Rent Boys member home page is easy to use. The links run across the top of the page, and are followed by the latest update, links to the bonus sites and more recent updates. There's also a search box on the left, links to bonus videos and pics, plus links on the right to top rated vids, pics and more. The site is new, currently offering 14 videos and 24 photo sets, and all updates are dated so it's easy to see that a new episode is added once a week.

Each video comes in 2 sizes of WMV, MP4 for mobiles and streaming Flash. The larger WMV's are indeed HD, and are shown at 1280x720 at about 5 Mbps at good amateur quality. The smaller WMV's are also good amateur quality, shown at 720x406 with about a 2 Mbps bitrate. The MP4's are smaller, 368x208, with bitrates around 630k, and they look good on iPod Touch and iPhone. The streaming Flash are standard sized and also pretty good stuff. All videos are full scenes and DRM-free, and each comes with a small set of screencaps.

Let's check out the pic sets. First off, these are digital stills from fairly good to good amateur quality. The pics are shown at 1500x1125, which is nice and large, and lighting isn't always great, but it's also not bad - you'll never have any problem seeing everything you want to see. The pics are offered as galleries, hands-free slideshows, and can also be downloaded in zipped files. Some sets are really half a full session, some are the full scene.

The Straight Rent Boys guys here have a natural amateur look, which is always a plus in this kind of site. The performers are escorts and not all of them are straight, btw - at least two of the guys say they're bisexual. Overall the models say that sex with men are for money, sex with women are for pleasure. There's sucking and fucking in most of the videos, although there is at least jackoff session. It's worth mentioning that although the videos do stick with the basic gay for pay formula, the interviews here are longer than I'm used to seeing, which will be a plus for some members and a minus for others.
