Back then it was a much different time, not only with our studio and Broke Straight Boys, with everyone in the industry. First off, there was more loyalty because we didn't have the competition we have today with FREE porn and competing with social media sites and models filming themselves. Back then our economy was different, these guys did struggle to find work and proper housing, but things were very expensive even back then. However, most of the studios paid a lot more because we had more memberships and the members paid more money. Again, this is not just with Broke Straight Boys, this was industry wide.
Most, not everyone, was loyal to one or two particular studios. We had guys that only filmed with us and we had plenty of them that didn't run from studio to studio but we did have that issues with many guys working the "porn gay4pay" circuit. Although I wasn't crazy about it then and I took it more personal back then, I had to step back and understand that these guys needed the money and this is not a full time job and they needed to keep the money rolling in to pay for car, car insurance, apartment, food and in some cases food for the kids and keep a roof over there heads, diapers are expensive and some had to payback money they owed to the courts of stupid shit they did like getting caught with "weed" or "DUI" so they need the money to get that figured out. Some used it for school and books and some wanted to save up the money to buy a house or car. Each guy that arrived in the old days, had there reasons.
Just like today, these guys have there reasons but now 2021...geez products, goods and services went up. Gas, Food, Rent...etc...is so expensive now and working part-time (15hrs for the week) earning $8 per hour in many cases is not not cutting it so now, these guys that want to make a lot of money to stay financially afloat turn to filming porn with studios and we can't give them full time work (non of us in the industry can) and the payout to models industry wide has become much less and we all have become more demanding in filming our scenes.
Today, if your in the age group of 18-25 in most cases, you don't live home with rich parents and in most cases, there parents are even struggling financially so they have to survive...they film porn and start filming for social media and these guys can make a lot of money and a steady income to that. If you have the "balls" and the nerve to do this type of work (since its not for everyone) and you can do it, its much better then working most hourly dead-end jobs.
Thus why there is NO loyalty today, these guys go from studio to studio, they collab with each other on social media and this is there life and income and they are just thinking about themselves and how much they can make along the way while this lasts.
Its actually sad if you ask me...
