I also loved when you auctioned off the cum stained sheets from the futon, with the money going to a local animal shelter in the Fort Lauderdale area. Somehow I remember a set of apricot or peach colored sheets being auctioned with Tyler's and CJ's cum on them among others. Those were days I shall never forget David. It was like a soap opera or a reality show with both new and returning models and we never knew in advance just what they might do next. It was so exciting for me, and then Mark began the forum and it enhanced my love of BSB tenfold. But without you and your style and your eye for talent David, I never would have wound up such a loyal fan of BSB, still today. Great memories. And so great to have you back on the forum!
Yes. I remember those days with great fondness also. I think back also to when
Broke Straight Boys would occasionally auction off certain models' underwear, with the proceeds being donated to the local South Florida animal shelters. Taking care of abandoned, mistreated or sick animals is a favorite charity and cause for David and Eddie.
I agree with many of Mikey's points above about the thrill of the adventure with the more straight-ish models of yesteryear on the site. It was a fun gimmick of sorts with the
Broke Straight Boys 1.0 leaving the audience somewhat in the dark as to how far each supposedly straight model would be willing to go in each scene. There was a greater mystery and an enjoyable tension and anticipation with the opening of each scene. I try not cast any "blame" though on any of the staff today hiring models who are either completely gay, have already done work on other gay sites, or who are more on the gay side of the bisexual spectrum to begin with.
Society has changed so much in the last 14 years since the site started up. The well of truly straight guys who are willing to do gay for pay, is all but dry. Once in a while
Broke Straight Boys gets lucky and finds a few precious drops left over from the morning dew. But it's indeed a rare occurrence. There was a time when a desperate straight guy who was really down on his luck, could hope to do several well paying videos on what he thought was an obscure, private subscription only, gay website that none of his family, friends, acquaintances and coworkers would ever find out about. How quaint and naïve such a thought would be today! Now that expectation and hope of complete anonymity from any online porn work following these guys back into their real Clark Kent daily lives, is completely unrealistic. So it's a much tougher decision in today's digital age for any truly straight guys to decide to take the plunge into gay porn. Even if they are really desperate for money and they find out that gay porn pays much better than straight porn.
So now we have what the hiring pool is nowadays for those willing to do gay porn. Which is the braver guys who are gay and (mostly) already out to their families, friends and coworkers. So as a
Broke Straight Boys purist who loved the original premise of the site of having the straightest models performing gay sex for money and watching their progressions and the pushing of their personal boundaries, I do totally understand why we won't ever get back fully to that original paradigm of the site. Once in a while we get lucky with some straight or at least straight-er models like
Ethan Steel and
Cody Smith. Just to name a couple of the most recent ones. haha And I'm happy for that.
