Strong Men is a gay site with a mix of content that includes downloadable exclusive video scenes and photo galleries plus more than three hundred bonus DVDs. As the title suggests the focus here is on muscular men and there's lots of hardcore guy/guy sex along with solo jerking off and groups. A few extra company bonus sites are included with membership all of which also feature gay content.
Content comes in three main sections here with the exclusive videos being the centerpiece. The guys fit well with the muscle/strong theme and there is lots of full-on guy/guy hardcore with some solo jerking-off as well. A smaller exclusive photo gallery section compliments these videos. The largest section is the DVD archive with a few hundred movies in there with a mix of fit/muscle titles.
About 2/3 of the exclusive videos have WMV or MP4 full-scene files at 1280x720 3000k. There are also standard and low level options and an in-browser Flash player. The sharpness and quality of the photos was a nice surprise for me as they are clear and around 1600x1200 or 1600x1067.
Three company bonus sites are included with membership: Studport, Ebony Men XXX, and Gay Hot.
Exclusive video filtering to show just HD or just SD scenes. There is also an alphabetical model index and the DVD archive has some niche breakdown.
The monthly price is fairly in-expensive compared to what other paysites charge.
Content quality does drop down on the older videos in the Exclusive section. About 1/3 have standard-def specs. As for the HD specs themselves they are okay at 1280x720 but they haven't made any upgrade beyond that. The guest tour here does really highlight the site's HD as an asset and while they do have videos that are high-def they won't blow you away in terms of the level.
Looking at the content as a whole the exclusive videos section has just over two hundred scenes. The bonus non-exclusive DVD archive is much bigger with a few hundred full movies with multiple scenes each. The photo gallery section has just over sixty galleries. Looking back at our past TBP reviews there used to be hundreds of galleries so that section has actually been reduced.
There aren't any zip files for the photo galleries.
Exclusive videos don't have any niche categories or sorting tools. The model index doesn't have any biographical info about the guys.
The member's area has a few upsell ads for things like live cams and PPV movies. Also the non-recurring join option is significantly more pricey than the recurring membership.
Strong Men delivers nicely on the strong/buff guy niche with their own exclusive models and also the bonus DVDs. While the site does have exclusive videos and photos the site is weighted a bit too much towards the bonus non-original DVDs in my opinion. There used to be more photos and the site has been around a long time but still has just the couple hundred exclusive scenes.
