I really enjoy reading through the forum posts of the grand forumites. One can hear the lamentations for "the good old days" when the straight boys were probably 90% of the
Broke Straight Boys stable. The other: about 8% role-played the part and 2% admitted to being bi or gay. That is a non-scientific statistical statement, but one I arrived at from studiously going through the wonderfully archived scenes since the beginning.
So, I believe I can understand the sense of loss of that "is he or isn't he" wonderment and the titillation in wondering how a straight boy, at any price, could pull off some of the incredible sex scenes that were captured. I found my self thinking the same thing as I spent some time of each day since early July going through the scenes by model (that way I got to see each twice if I would so choose to do because I visited each model's page and would go, "Oh this is who was with
Diesal or Jimmy (whomever)" when I got to their page. That is what led me to create the topic about what happened to Jimmy J. The very first scene of him is the start of his being a
Broke Straight Boys model/rep at events everywhere. His second, being coaxed to come back to David's place was very believable and I assumed the dates were messed up.
I believe Tyler was the first to say, "Well, I've changed and now I am gay." of any of the models. Mikey, one of "the cousins" came right out and said he was gay. So, the gays have been represented from the get-go and they got to be the mischievous "bait" with the straight boys. What a great job to have, I say!
Back in 2006, the nation had such a different perspective of the LGBT community - pretty much still a "shut door" policy for society. If one lived in MA, VT, or other NE states - or Iowa - by 2009 you could marry. Attitudes started changing when the community (Act Up and HRC) began to spread the positive idea that everybody knows someone who is gay (Kinsey explained once again to the nation) and when prominent gays began to publiclly emmerge things began to move swiftly. The nasty bathhouse image Americans had of the gay community began to erode into the, "Our new neighbors are a gay couple and they have two children and they are all so nice." discussions.
What gays did in the bedroom began to be acknowledged as "I don't think about it cuz I know they aren't thinking about me and my wife (or husband). Metro or Pan sexuality began to be a concept accepted. Kids began to have friends who knowingly had two moms or two dads and it was OK. As the youth grew up with a no stigma attitude - the Live and Let Live perspective replaced the damnation the community had lived with and hidden from before recorded history (of course the Greeks and Native American populations had accepted it as a rites of passage or the "blessed by mother" and their role was to be record keeper of the peoples or the medicine men or other places of importance (one elder of a Northern Michigan Anishinabe tribe explained to me that the highest placed gay always rode their horse backwards so they could tell of not only where they were going but from where they had come.) Ok - I'm on a tangent...
But society changed. Freedom to express love physically without fear of violating old religious-inspired legal doctrine brought out a lot of change in personal lives or gays as well as the production of porn that depicted those practices. Today, I think that
Broke Straight Boys remains loyal to its origins - stright boys are sought out, they apply and they perform. There is not that hang up and stigma of doing so as their was in 2006. Gay for pay is an accepted real means for guys to fund their schooling or auto purchase or buy the furniture for a child for which they will soon be responsible. But it also is a means for admitted gays to earn a means to their end, too. So, for me,
Broke Straight Boys still offers that allure. Guys who admit they experimented at age 12 or above aren't ashamed as many of us who did so felt. At 12, I messed around with a 16 year old neighbor and I felt like one of my many places I'd hold in the world was fulfilled. On the other hand, the closet I build was stronger than the "Three Little Pigs" house of brick. When my grandson graduated from high school, I called him and asked if he would be embarrassed if I came to his open house party. He asked me why? and I said, "Because your friends will see your gay grandpa." He almost crawled through the phone line to slap me. His response: "Poppa, they already know you are gay. You've met many of them at the hockey games, crickett meets, and towing them skiing. Three of my friends are gay - didn't you know that?" You don't come I will never forgive or speak to you again. Get a backbone!" I realized the world had truly changed. Two of his gay friends are cammers to help fund school. (Maybe I should advise them to contact
Broke Straight Boys because they are truly fine specimen of Scandinavian blonde, blue eyed hunks (but they can't claim to be "straight" for the purpose because they have exposure on some cam site already.)
Anyways, I have been entertained by the scenes from the beginning. I am only up to 2010 - there are so many! I get the titillation but I also truly appreciate what is delivered in new scenes because that is what these guys do. And as far as the gay guys being in the stable? I am always reminded of a line from "Boys in the Band" - "Jesus Mary, you know it takes a fairy to make something beautiful!" The non-straight boys do just that to encourage the boys to perform (well, that is how I have adapted my thinking about the scenes that have an obvious if not admitted gay performer).
Don't know if this is a big waste of time (writing and if you do, reading it) but as the society changes, the "secret" acts of straight boys is not so secret any more and the intrigue of "is he or isn't he" and "will he or won't he" remains intact in my estimation. I do so love this site and I really appreciate the forum.
I hope no one thinks I disprespect anyone on here or anything that has been said. It is not shared in conversation with my friends as I think of it sort of like my fraternity days and word of ritual, brotherhood, the paedagogus (book of rules and rituals of the frat and initiation ritual), were all sworn to secrecy among brothers and I have never told a sole any of it. This is sort of sacred ground in the forums.
I realize I am quite loquacious so if you wish to tell me to shut the fuck up, do feel free to do so. I listen!
I regret them sometimes,but they pass quick...
