This BTS-Straight Talk episode was a bunch of bullshit. I probably shouldn't be writing this now because I am so aggravated that I know some of the things I will say might very well upset some of my forumite friends, but I can't help it. This is how I feel after having watched this shortly after it was posted and I wanted my comments to reflect my views as they are now and not later. So my comments follow in no particular order, more stream of consciousness:
1. What is the ultimate audience for these Straight Talk episodes? It seems to me given the setting and the canned applause and commerciasl breaks, that the ultimate audience would be those who are watching BSB TV in the future? In no other BTS's except Straight Talk episodes are there commercial breaks and canned applause, so those things are not really meant for or necessary for any thing intended for site members only.
2. The question "Are you really straight?" was a setup. These guys are working for a site called Broke Straight Boys Do you think they would admit to being gay or bi even if they were? Of course not, they have an image to uphold if they were.
One of the questions sha should have asked was "how do you guys stay hard? I would like to know how many take the little blue pill? Johnny on an aside intimated that he did. This question would set up an interesting dilemma for them. On the one hand, they think they are all straight studs so would they admit they need help in achieving an erection; or wanting to reinforce that they are not gay, that they take the little blue pill so they can perform.
3. Some of the comments made really show how much these guys, despite working for a gay-owned business and being around gay management and going to pride events, still hold certain stereotypes about gays. The whole I'd rather not work with a gay model because they would enjoy it shows the typical straight view that gays lust after straight men first and foremost. I was particularly disappointed when Ayden not only said this but also made a disgusted look on his face. I know I will incur mikeyanks's wrath for saying this, but this combined with a few other comments Ayden made and the way he said them and the facial expression which accompanied them, gave me the impression that he might be tinged with a bit of homophobia.
4. When sha said something to the effect that not every single performer on the site has been straight, I thought to myself facetiously ' "Really?'. Look at Broke Straight Boys 1.0: just off the top of my head I can list guys who were gay or bi: Nelson, Skyler, Zaak, Austin, Cousin Mikey & his cousin, one of the Seans, Jimmy Slater, Austin. In the newer iterations of Broke Straight Boys, the issue of sexual orientation is never brought up and we are supposed to believe that everyone is straight with the exception of a few cases where it was so obvious there was no need to mention it or the models said so themselves. And then there's gaydar which most of us possess. Not always accurate, but a pretty good judgement tool.
5. I do have to compliment them on the issue of kissing. They said that was the hardest part. Yet to their credit they have all come to perform that function quite well, except for Ayden who I don't think has ever kissed or if he has it has been rare.
I am discouraged by what transpired in this video. It seems to me that management while it is paying these guys for sex scenes, given that the owner and most of the staff are gay, should use this time to educate these guys so when the are finished at Broke Straight Boys, they will have not only earned alot of money, but also learned something about gay people and what are true stereotypes and which ones aren't.
Unfortunately for me, I come away from this video with views about some of these guys which are different in a bad way from those which I held about them beforehand. That is the danger in any of these types of undertakings. Maybe from now on, I'll steer clear of these up close and peresonal bts's.
