I have been unable to spend much time of late on the forum, so I'm in a catch up mode. Having read all the posts on this thread, I'm truly perplexed. People acknowledge that there are almost as many different tastes in men as there are
Broke Straight Boys members, but then they proceed to say that certain models should go because THEY are tired of seeing them or the model doesn't fit the mold of THEIR concept of "believably straight".
We all come to
Broke Straight Boys with preconceived notions of what we want from the site based in large part on our own experiences. The sexual experiences I had during my long coming out and even after were largely with straight or bi men (hustlers, street trade, escorts) who were tops. I am a bottom by nature. While I loved the physical and emotional aspects of the sex, what really turned me on was that I could sexually satisfy a straight guy. I loved to see the expressions on his face and hear the sounds and sighs of satisfaction from his mouth as he orgasmed. But the ultimate pleasure was seeing the satisfied look on his face when he would hit the prostate and I would have that shuddering internal anal orgasm.
That's what was in my mind when I discovered
Broke Straight Boys And I didn't read the small print because I didn't realize the premise was to have 2 straighties having sex with each other. And even after I discoverd that, it didn't make any difference to me because most of the sex and guys were hot.
But it also doesn't make any sense to me. To be blunt, this is a hustler website. And I use that word in the best sense of the word because they were my sexual partners for much of my coming out journey. The overwhelmingly vast number of them were straight, a few bi-, and one or two gay. These guys would get paid to have sex with me or other GAY men. I don't know of any STRAIGHT man who paid a STRAIGHT hustler to have sex with him. And I guess that is what makes
Broke Straight Boys unique because it pays two straight guys to have sex with each other.
As to "believably straight" that is obviously in the eye of the beholder. Some don't see Ty as believably straight, I do. That doesn't make either of us wrong, we just make that judgment based on our own perspective as conditioned by our past experiences. Some people have had enough of Connor. He's finally growing on me. Some don't like Denver, I do. I think he's hot and reminds me of several of the hustlers from back in the day. Both scenes with Connor and Denver to me were hot and the essence of the site, two macho straight guys enjoying each other's company, and marking their territory so to speak. The latest scene was particularly hot. But some didn't like either. Does that make either of us wrong? No, it just means we each bring our own likes and dislikes as we judge the scene conditioned by our own personal experiences. Liam &
Kodi was a hot scene. Many thought so, others didn't. Does that make either of us wrong? ... you get the drift of what I'm saying here.
I have been a member of the site for a year now; and of the forum, 11 months. I've stayed even though it wasn't exactly what I thought it would be because of the men most of whom are hot, most of the partnered scenes I have enjoyed, and many have sustained my sexual appetitie ( such as it is for a 70 yr old), and the uniqueness of the forum. But as to the latter, I'm getting a little bit tired. I do sense that the ad hominem attacks have declined, but there are still too many personal attacks between members just because there is disagreement over models or scene partners, or the scene itself. We can only say the same thing over and over so many times before it is more than tiresome. That is why for instance I said I was no longer going to comment on solo scenes unless they were especially good or especially horrid because there are only so many ways you can say that the solos scene bores you. And I was being repetitive.
I thoroughly enjoy reading everyone's thoughts on a scene or the models therein. Many times I agree with most if not all and other times I wonder how in the hell they could reach that conclusion. Just as I'm sure people do when they read my posts. But for me, the more I realized the correlation between the site and my experiences with hustlers back in the day, the more I realiazed that I was taking all this way too seriously. When I moved to the 'Burgh in 83, the hustler scene was relatively compact and organized. Many of them were friends with each other and if you wanted a particular type of evening and the hustler you were talking to wasn't into that, he would tell you who was and where you might find him or have him find you. My point is that hustlers are paid to fulfill your fantasy. On
Broke Straight Boys the guys are paid to have sex in a variety of ways inorder to fulfill our fantasies. But we are paying them indirectly through the site and the site provides the fantasy, and if the scene "speaks" to us in a sense, then OUR fantasy is fulfilled. And management has to figure out what fantasies sell and which don't and what models best can act out the fantasy. And from where I sit, both with respect to what I term
Broke Straight Boys 2.5,
Broke Straight Boys 2.0, and bsb1.0, for me I'm getting my money's worth, even considering I don't get much from solo scenes. When I get to the point where I'm not getting what I feel is my money's worth, then I'll move on. And I would recommend that to anyone for a variety of reasons not the least of which is economic. Why spend money on something from which you don't get enjoyment commensurate with the dollars spent? And also why keep spending the money and just keep bitching about the site all the time on the forum?
Another item I keep reading about on the forum is the fact that some of the models who appear on
Broke Straight Boys are on other sites. I don't understand the problem. These guys are selling their services inorder to make a living. If I paid a hustler back in the day to be a dominant top, I had no idea whether or not he was being a submissive bottom for another john or not. But on websites we do. I don't have a problem with a
Broke Straight Boys model being on any other site, the problem for me is if he is doing the complete opposite on the other site than what he does on
Broke Straight Boys because it ruins the fantasy for me. Take Connor for instance. He is a macho, studly top. The fact that he occasionally bottoms on
Broke Straight Boys doesn't bother me, because even when he does, he is still macho and studly. He takes it like a man. If all of a sudden he pops up on another site as a nelly bottom, that would ruin the fantasy for me. As long as he keeps the macho studly image, and predominantly tops, then if he does that on other sites in addition to
Broke Straight Boys it bothers me not.
I don't know about any of you, but my gaydar doesn't seem to be as finely tuned to the web as in real life. So for me there are some models I can't quite figure out. And there are others for whom I have no problem. But my problem with them is their lack of consistency even on
Broke Straight Boys For instance when I first watched
Austin Grant's first scene in my review of
Broke Straight Boys 1.0 scenes, he said he was straight. My gaydar went off and said no way. Then as I continued to watch his scenes, the fact that he topped and the way he topped, I thought to myself maybe he was just a nelly-ish straight guy. But then when we get to his scene with Jimmy Slater, he admits he's gay. Unlike some site purists, I don't need all
Broke Straight Boys models to be straight or even believably straight for that matter. I have no problem with having gay guys on the site. As long as they are having sex with a straight guy. It is that straight guy who is the
Broke Straight Boys I would have a problem if we had two gay guys, because then the nature of the site is changed.
Well, I was going to do a thread of my
Broke Straight Boys first anniversary observations, but I guess to a large degree I've just done it. Given its length, it surely looks like I'm taking all this too seriously. And that's my point I guess. This is, after all, just porn. And for me it's important in the sense that I'm 70 yrs. old, the hustler scene here in the 'Burgh is gone, but I still have a libido left. So the web helps me fulfill what I need fulfilled. But once it takes on a life of its own, it's time to take a step back. As I said earlier, I will be a member here until the cost outweighs the pleasure received. I will watch the scenes and read the forum. And comment when and if I think I can add constructively to the dialogue. Absent that, I have made a few really good friends on the forum and I'd prefer using my time talking with them privately from time to time.
And please don't rake me over the coals because I used the term hustler herein. I use it only in the best sense of the word and actually decry the perjorative meaning it has been given by some elements of the gay community. For me, they were an integral and significant part of my gay sexual coming out, and the two great loves of my gay life I met when they were hustling. So fire away, if you will, but not on that issue.
