Please stop using him. He's not interesting nor does he even ACT straight in any way. Snooze fest!! He's a major queen and you can tell it in his responses. Major turn off!!
While I agree with ALL of your comments, perhaps we should try to a bit more 'encouraging' and less critical...unless, (of course) it's constructive. So, (please!!) let's be critical...but, in a nice way...
I think its his last scene on Broke Straight Boys We have only one or two scenes left, but I'm not sure...this maybe his last scene...perhaps Mark can give us an update on how many more scenes are left with Marlin.
However, the good news is that we haven't filmed Marlin for a long time and he is no longer a model with our studio. Marlin is a nice guy and although everyone seems to hate him know...LOL. He is truly a good guy and is working his way through college. His parents through him out of his house because they found out he was gay and was doing porn.
Marlin, was afraid to come out of the closet. He came to us to discover his sexuality. When Marlin arrived here he had no confidence and had very low self-esteem. When we hired him as a model, he was thrilled to death. He thought he won the lottery and it built him up and he felt as if some loved him and cared for him.
When he arrived, he told me his troubles and although I don't really like getting involved, Marlin came to us with very low self-esteem and he felt as if he was worthless. Both Eddie & I encouraged him to be himself and not worry what others think. He did his first few scenes and he made some money and he was thrilled to death and by coming down and doing porn and meeting people that encouraged him, he went back home with a whole new outlook. He enrolled in technical school to work on computers and came clean with his parents about his sexuality. His parents through him out because both his Mom & Dad are "Christians" and didn't want him in there house.
Marlin moved out with a roommate on the money he earned here. I wasn't going to hire him back, but when he called me up and needed to work to pay for school and his apartment with his 4 room-mates, I gave him another opportunity. He can here did his thing, had fun and he used the money wisely.
We no longer hired him and I encouraged him to get work, he got hired in McDonalds and he's been working hard in McDonalds and going to school and paying his rent.
I know I preach many times this is porn, but at times its nice to do the right think and help a young gay boy out to get started in life, this is one of many examples of what doing porn can do to many young guys that struggle in today's world.
So before you continue bashing the model (which I understand) there is always another side to the story and remember the next update is right around the corner!
Yes, Dande01, you are accumulating many credits in the Bank of Karma for your help with young men who are floundering. If you feel a warm fuzzy for your support - it's been earned.

Yes David. You have done yet another good deed for a struggling young man who is trying to find his way and keep a roof over his head. And you know that most of us are suckers for the hard luck cases that come your way. We are very understanding for the most part. Like with Ben, Steve and even Torin for instance.
Once you tell us that you don't expect us to swoon over a particular model's looks or performance but then go on to explain his hard luck story...immediately there's a change of tone in how we react to him. At least among those of us Broke Straight Boys members who are in the forum. I wish you had come clean a bit sooner on Marlin's circumstances. (But I thank you for doing it now!) I'm sure that fewer unkind things would have been said about him had we known his story sooner.
I'm not going to do a 180 and start praising his work. Truth is that many of us didn't think he had the looks and screen presence to make a good porn model. Not being good at porn is hardly a badge of shame though. It's not for everyone. And I'm sure that with more confidence he will find a calling or a niche where his own natural talents can be put to good use.
Of course there are many models on here who play straight but are not totally straight. You know how much it bothers us when we have a model present himself as straight while our gaydars are beeping and zinging off the Richter scale. Such is the case with Marlin. We feel like someone is trying to get one over on us when that happens. If a gay model is presented as gay then we usually respond better to him. So the response to Marlin was a bit more terse (and yes, unkind) than it otherwise would have been.
Porn is not Marlin's calling in life. But I do wish him well. As a fellow gay I do hope that he works through the issues with his family (especially vice versa) and gets himself well established in life. All so that he will have a bright and prosperous future.
Now don't I feel like the jerk for starting this all? LOL!! Well, I'm glad he's a good kid and I do hope his parents come around. I never like hearing such things. However, it is just my personal opinion as to what I like on Broke Straight Boys I prefer the Diesal, Jordan, Logan, Tyler types. Ya know? I want it as if you plucked them out of some farm or rodeo, or beach and brought them right in! Still love your vids and they've allowed me much good jack off time.

Nope I agree with this thread...this was charity...but we just helped the kid out. Every so often now and then we throw in charity good deed episodes...we have a lot of hot scenes coming up, some very interesting footage on its way
