This site mainly features hunks and well built musclemen in solo jerk off scenes. The videos are well made and easy to stream or download and there are more promised as updates happen. There are also a few tough guys in hard-core duo scenes. You have image galleries with the videos, feed sites and access to seven other bonus sites with more movies and galleries. If you like to see straight hunks in solo jerks then you really should come and take a look.
Handy Studs is brought to you by Tina Tyler and Mercenary & Viking Pictures; the tour pages have a good collection of sample videos and we are promised muscles, masculinity and straight studs in their most private intimacy. This is another site in the collection that includes Twink Boarding School, Crotch Buffet and Bisex 101 among others and along with your membership you also get access to those sites; but we will look at them later, for now lets see what Handy Studs has in the way of content.
Videos, thats the driving force behind the site and there were 27 episodes when I checked in. These are exclusive and original and run for an average length of 15 minutes. The majority of them are solo vids but there are some action ones later on in the collection. To give you an idea of the diversity of the content heres a quick rundown of what I found on page one:
Mikey is a New Yorker with a smooth chest and big cock, he does a solo show and shoots a great load. Marcus starts off in a suit but soon strips down to reveal tattooed arms and a good length which he jerks to a great finale. Tyler is up next and hes a charming black guy who gives an interview in one episode before moving on to a solo jack off scene in another. Reno is a Czech bodybuilder who gives his solo scene in and by a swimming pool before shooting over his muscled stomach. So that should give you an idea of what to expect; hard muscled guys in solo jerk off scenes and interviews. Page two is much the same with well toned guys, big cocks and solo wank scenes. There are black guys, Latinos, guys in suits, guys with long hair and some younger looking but still as well built younger ones. Its the same until you get to page five where you will find the first of four action episodes that run for a little longer. These feature sexy muscled guys in oral and anal action and are hard-core.
As for viewing these videos, thats quite simple. Each one has a little write up on the index pages where you are also told the run time, how many pictures there are in the gallery and on most occasions, the name of who is appearing. You then have the option of a high speed or a low speed video. The high speed ones are in Windows Media Player and Quicktime formats and the episodes are divided into clips. You can also download a full length, DVD quality version from here. The low speed ones use the same players and are more suitable for dial up connections. There is no full length version available here. The videos are good quality, with sound and clear pictures and if you dont mind hours of solo wank work then youll like these movies. There is a good variation of guys and the action episodes help lift the repetition of watching solo straight guys jerk off.
That might not sound like a lot of content to you and by some standards it isnt, but all is not lost. Remember that you can also access the seven other bonus sites. If you are looking for straight and tough guys then you will probably enjoy Crotch Buffet the most as this is where you will find some more of them. The other sites are twink based though there could well be some older and hunkier guys in Bisex 101. Dont be put off if you are not bi-curious as the focus of that site is the guys, though there are obviously women involved too. The twink sites, and the others, all contain their own exclusive material which is of a high standard and the layout and design are similar so once you know your way around one you will find your way around the others. Adding all this content together under one membership means you get hours of hard-core entertainment of one kind of another and that gives you value for money. Its a good collection and well worth viewing.
As well as the exclusive videos and access to the bonus sites, Handy Studs, like its partner sites, offers you a few other features. On the My Extras page you will find 15 feed sites. These come from other websites and basically you can feed into their on-line movie players where you can stream a wide variety of movie scenes and clips. Well, thats the theory. When I was trying to view these yesterday (while reviewing another one of the partner sites) I was unable to get access as the feeds were down. Today I am asked for my access details, password etc. and these were not accepted for some reason. It makes me think here is some maintenance going on and hopefully all will be well when you enter them. They feature everything from bears to twinks and muscled guys to military ones so you should, assuming you can get in, have a good old time watching all of the content.
If you do have trouble you should go to the support area and seek assistance. Here you will find a good support page with things like live chat support 24/7, a diagnostic tool to check if your system is compatible, a FAQ page and details about ticketing and billing too. Its a good, well thought out support page and a lot better than many I have seen.
There is also a friends page on the site and this contains a list of other porn sites and shopping places that you might like to consider. Its a link list really and there are some free tours to be enjoyed but thats about it. The same goes for the link on the home page; on some of the partner sites the link is to a chat site but here it is to a site thats selling you sperm production pills (and other kinds of enhancements no doubt.) Above this you will see there is a survey being run, its asking who your favourite stud from the site is. Whoever gets the most votes will be making a return appearance it seems so get voting.
The Network Update page brings you all the latest news from all of the eight sites you can access. Here you can learn who and what has been added to each site and when. There are also screen shots and news about who and what is coming next to each of the sites. The only other thing I forget to mention before is the picture galleries. Each of the videos on this and all the other sites come will a gallery of screen shots that open in new windows. Theyre o.k. as far as screen shots go but not as good a quality as some of the studio shots that appear on the twink and other sites.
Navigation is fairly straightforward at this site with the top menu remaining static throughout (apart from perhaps when you finally enter a feed site) and there is little chance of getting lost. The design is straightforward and simple and there is nothing flashy or distracting to get in the way of your viewing.
I guess I have to say that if you like solo jack off scenes, hunky guys and muscled studs then youll like it here at Handy Studs. There is not as much content as I have seen on other musclemen sites but there are regular updates promised and you do get to access seven other bonus sites. The quality of what you have is good and viewing the videos is made easy with good choices of player and speeds. Navigation is easy, there is a good customer support area and its a good site to buy in to.
