Does Mike Hancock deliver what it promises on the outside?
MikeHancock.com was previously known as HancockHotel.com or Straightmen.com. This site dates back to around 2003 or earlier - so there is a sizeable build-up of content here.
The tour is a non-working replica of the member's pages, complete with small sample vids - so you can get a very exact idea of what to expect. Here's another of those San Diego str8boy adoration sites - can we ever get enough?? NEVER!
What's good about Mike Hancock? What needs improvement?
What's good about MH is both the brawny collection of dudes and the sincerity of the action sequences. Most of the action sequences look like the guys are really into each other and that makes all the difference between HOT and NOT.
On the improvement side, I am seeing a pattern developing where Mike is appearing in more and more of the vids (not as corny as JakeCruise, but please curb this trend - as we do not like to see the same person over and over pawing on the models).
With Mike being on camera a good percentage of the time - this means that there is a cameraman, but I am not seeing the type of excellent camera work featured on ChaosMen or SeanCody. I would like to see the camera work on MH improve by offering more close-ups and "angle edits". Some of the scenes can "drag" when the camera angles never change, not even for the climactic conclusion. The site could go from 85% to 100% with some more creative camera work.
I liked the fact that the vids were offered both segmented into clips (WMP or QT) or shown in their entirety (WMP or QT). I like the segmented vids which downloaded very fast - you can just get right to the part you want without waiting 20 min. for the vid to download and save off just the part you like without using up your entire HD.
How is Mike Hancock unique?
I'm all for all the str8boy adoration sites we can handle and MikeHancock has some different, slightly rougher sort of guys on his site. The action sets are a real strong point as the models look genuinely "into it".
What do paying users recieve for their money?
For $24.95 non-recurring monthly, you'll all the dudes and action sets revealed to you on the tour (somewhere around 200 sets). The vids are a nicer quality - both WMP and QT - segmented and whole.
I have visited MH on and off for years and can personally vouch for the weekly update schedule, so if you like it - a longer membership could be considered.

NewsBoy's review 
May 19, 2008
The claims on the outside don't go very far, making just one promise: amateur men. And that's pretty much what you get (although a few of the guys have appeared on so many sites they've made a profession out of being amateur). Read full review
Mackenzie's review 
May 12, 2008
This is an amateur site with some extremely hot models, some twinks and some a little older. A lot are straight, some are bisexual and some are gay but all know how to give it all in a photo shoot. The site primarily features videos but there are large photo galleries with photos from these videos. I feel the site delivers what it promises. Read full review

Hancock's amateur series contains photo sets and videos of mostly twenty something straight men jacking and having gay sex. No skinny twinks here. Mike participates on camera servicing some of the guys in some of the scenes. The photography and settings are clean and simple. Read full review
