I remember when Men.com first started Str8 To Gay, and it came out of the fantasy where you fancy your best mate or your brother-in-law and wonder what it would be like to have sex with him. From then, it has grown in inventiveness to include all manner of sexy scenarios, some involving other cast members in the background, and each of them giving you some kind of believable start-up followed by a great load of amazing sex. They film their scenes with humour, and there's a fair amount of set-up before the heavy action starts, and that all adds to the inventiveness, making each scene unique and highly watchable.

They also use top names in porn, with muscled studly, physically powerful guys, slimmer, athletic men, and hung models. It's a case of 'either a power bottom or an alpha top be', and in every case, you get full-on, full-blown hardcore ass banging after a good session of suck, rim and sometimes toy play. Some of the guys appearing in the more recent movies include legends like JJ Knight and Jack Hunter, Colby Jansen and William Seed. There are others, too, who you will soon get to know, like Markus Kage and Edward Terrant in a straight soldier fantasy that's only been online a couple of months and already has 16K views. A complete model index is provided, though it covers the entire network, and you've got over 1,100 hunks to check out.

When you log in, you come to the page of recent updates for the whole network. To find the STG movies, you can look for one in the index pages and then click the grey 'STG' link I the sample shot, or you can head to the Sites page and find the site there. From then on, you have clearly numbered index pages leading to all 574 movies. You can see the upload dates, and it's good to note than Str8 To Gay has been adding new scenes just about every week.

Click through from an index page, and you find a viewing page with all you need for streaming. Movies come with trailers to run, or you can dive straight into the streams. There are four speeds to choose from, 1,920 x 1,080 HD, 720p HD, 480p and 320p, so there should be something to suit everyone. Movies run for around 20 minutes and will go to full screen. They also come with a drop-down description to set things up, plus a gallery of images.

These galleries go in more for quality than quantity, with between 10 and 40 pics each, and you're able to view them online and save them one at a time. They come down at 1,200 x 800 px, give you a selection of solo models posing and some shots taken during the hardcore moments. Like the videos, the quality is excellent.

Recently, Men.com and other networks and sites reduced their entry prices but started adding extra costs for downloading. When you sign up to Str8 To Gay, you can stream absolutely everything from the site and its network with no hassles. But, if you want to keep the videos, you will have to pay an extra $14.99 per month on top of whatever membership you have opted for. There are plenty of banners and adverts to lead you to where you do this, and once done, you can take the files in Mp4 format at the same four resolutions as you find for streaming. There is no restriction on downloading once you have bought into the scheme as far as I know.

Check the Sites page, and you find you've got seven more Men.com originals to savour. You've got Jizz Orgy, their group-sex orgy site, and Drill My Hole, their general, one-off and series scenario, reality site for all things hardcore. This includes bareback in many videos, and you also find bareback in other sites. Big Dicks At School gives you college and school sex fantasies. The Gay Office does the same in the workplace. Gods Of Men gives you top, studly porn gods in erotic hardcore, and Top To Bottom, their smallest collection, gives you similar hunks who are usually tops being ass-banged for the first time. Men of UK offers inventive series and solo scenes with a mainly UK cast, and together, all eight sites add up to 3,140 scenes, with that number increasing around five times a week thanks to regular updates.

You have to pass through a portal page on your way into Str8 To Gay, and once that's clicked out of the way, you find a bottom-bar advert for that download option. Otherwise, the site is clear, and adverts are kept to a minimum. The members' area is really easy to navigate with a top menu to let you filter movies, sites and models, and a drop-down that also holds links to the place where you can store your favourite movies. There's also a categories page there, plus you have linked tag words with videos so you can filter the entire network by keywords.

I had no hassles with navigation, and there were no technical issues, just as you'd expect from such a well-run and professional site. Members can give scenes a thumbs up, save them in a certain place to watch later or add them to a favourites area, but there's nowhere to comment.

I mentioned the new sign-up price, and that's now set at $17.99 per month. There is a 12-month option at $99.99 per year and two trial offers as well. Note that the first, at $1.00 for two days, recurs at $29.99 per month, and the 7-day one at $7.00 comes back at $17.99, and both are limited access viewing. There's also a pre-selected upgrade deal on the details page that you might want to deselect if you don't want the additional download cost.

Str8 To Gay offers you inventive and sexy scenes where straight, butch, tough guys go gay with their mates, step-brothers, brothers-in-law and other macho straight guys. The movies are exclusive, HD and brilliantly filmed, offering a bit of fun with their sweaty hardcore and bareback, and they are there for streaming only. Downloads cost more, but you do have access to all eight sites from Men.com, all their updates and a heap of gorgeous guys in original gay hardcore.
