Rotten Ray Says:
If you've read many of these reviews and paid the least bit of attention to my comments, you know I'm a huge fan of straight guys gone bad. The quickest way to get me to stop buying you drinks at a bar is to utter some phrase like 'oh, mary!' - and that or similar will instantly get you cab fare if we've already shacked up for the night...
Therefore, it gives me great pleasure to announce the rebuild of a website whose philosophy matches my very own: Presenting SeanCody v. 2.0!
SeanCody has always been one to test boundaries and stretch the limits, both in social and technical terms. The straight hunks recruited for the site are always reminded that they could/should easily sample the forbidden fruits of gay sex, and the video streams have always been encoded at superb quality. (Speaking historically, the stream for the very first model, Ken, was originally available at 360 x 240 @ 500+ kBps way back in 2001 - which was at the very limit of what most consumer desktops could actually play. It still looks awesome today.)
From stem to stern, the SeanCody operation is based on quality and constant improvment. Videos are scrumptious, shot with high-end equipment, and the guys on the red-light side of the lens are very tasty, indeed. Episodes from the last year or so now feature crystal clear high resolution still photos as well video stills, but to be fair even the early video stills are quite pleasing, too.
I suppose I should speak a bit about the guys themselves at some point.
What you're going to find inside the firewall is page after page filled with guys who are so damn handsome and humpy you'd probably be almost afraid to talk to them in person, the type of guy who can cause car wrecks just by walking down the street with his shirt off. They run the gamut from naturally well defined all the way to pro bodybuilder, and there are a lot of dangerously large cocks lurking around.
"Yeah," I can hear you muttering, "we've all seen that kind of man, and thanks to the good old web, we've seen a lot of 'em nekkid, too."
That's where the SeanCody "magic" enters into the picture. Once some humpy straight stud has strutted his stuff solo, the game is afoot to see just how far he's willing to go. Will he get blown by a guy? Will he fuck a guy? Will he let a guy fuck him?
The final thing which sets SeanCody apart from the other straight guys + gay sex sites is something any decent zookeeper already knows: Animals are happier in their natural habitat.
And that's what you get here, folks. Between trips to the beach when surf's up, the friendly football tossing at the local park, the odd week at the California desert timeshare and the spiffy weight set right there in the studio, these guys can't help themselves - they drip testosterone from the get-go and it shows.

Darling Dennis Says:
When SeanCody began his site in 2001, he established a site model that has been copied but not replicated by many other sites. His site model includes recruiting only the hottest men, mostly straight, from all over the country. These men are the A-list. You know, the type of guy even the most forward and brash of us sees at a bar at which you gaze but are afraid to approach. Unlike many sites that feel the pressure to update their sites and eventually choose guys based on availability, rather than quality, SeanCody does not waiver, He selects only those guys that fit his site model of being attractive, in good shape and muscular, toned, or lean built. And all of the guys have a personality that sizzles. Most of the guys are 100% exhibitionists, many with stiffies before they shed their pants, that just love showing themselves and their dicks for the camera.
As Rotten Ray writes in his review, he takes the straight models to the brink of their sexual exploration by coaxing the straight guys to participate in man sex. What impresses me is that these are not plucked-eyebrow queens pretending to be straight who have their ass in the air before their partner's dick is hard, as you see at so many other sites. These guys are real straight guys that start their first experience with total angst on their faces and sometimes bodies shaking, who prove, after the sex begins, that as my friend John's grandmother once told him, "a stiff dick has no conscious". The gay guys matched with these straight guys are well-chosen. Their social and sexual techniques are expert.
The second part of the site model is to carefully match guys together that are primordially hungry for each other. In the variety of videos that I sampled, the sexual chemistry between or among the participants is absolutely electric. As I sample the videos, I have the feeling that these guys would die to have sex with each other at anytime and anywhere and SeanCody is lucky that he is able to capture the action on film.
The third part of the site model is to expertly photograph and video the guys. SeanCody is a photographer by trade. He takes pride in the quality of his work and it shows. Most of the still photographs are portrait quality and are shot both in the studio and on location. The videos are expertly done and the angles chosen really capture the personality of the models in solo shoots. I hate the requisite interview of a guy prior to getting down to business on most sites. Here the interviews are intelligent and planned. In action videos, the complete social and sexual interaction between the participants is expertly captured. (Isn't that a fancy way of saying that you see close-up at a variety of angles, facial expressions, tongues lapping at spread cheeks and hungry holes and dicks pounding asses and throats.) You feel like you are in the room ready to tag team as soon as one of the guys needs to catch his breath or cums. You can almost smell the sex.
As Winston Churchill said, "I am easily satisfied with the very best." I wish we had room for two spurting cocks here...

Features
SeanCody offers new, original content, which is photographed at their own studio or on location using high-end equipment. They have about 550 video/photo galleries online at this writing.
SeanCody presents itself as a straight-guys-exploring site, and stays well within it's theme. The guys that you'll find at SeanCody span the 18 to 35 age bracket, and run somewhere between defined and buff; some of the guys are one-trick ponies while others appear in a bevy of episodes.
SeanCody focuses on straight, masculine men exploring their limits using a very "male-centric" approach, e. g. providing the guys with testosterone-laden settings and activities.
