Jon, I understand that many folks here do not care if a model is truly gay, or if he has appeared on other sites prior to
Broke Straight Boys I know that list includes yourself, Ambi, Peter, johnny, Betu, Beth, Benben and probably most of the forum. And for me it's not a matter of "principle" or "integrity" when a model lies, but instead it is a matter of what gives me a "boner". My reason for initially gravitating toward
Broke Straight Boys as a source of sexual pleasure is because of my fetish of getting excited watching hot young guys who I can believe are basically straight engaging in gay sex. That scenario turns me on and I can get off to guys like that. That is what a fetish is all about.
The Merriam-Webster on line dictionary defines "fetish" as
Full Definition of FETISH
a : an object (as a small stone carving of an animal) believed to have magical power to protect or aid its owner; broadly : a material object regarded with superstitious or extravagant trust or reverence
b : an object of irrational reverence or obsessive devotion : prepossession
c : an object or bodily part whose
real or fantasied presence is psychologically necessary for sexual gratification and that is an object of fixation to the extent that it may interfere with complete sexual expression.
And so when speaking of the recently introduced and "exposed"
Jake Tipton, the knowledge that he appeared on another gay website and was anally penetrated on that site interferes with the "real or fantasied presence that is psychologically (necessary) for my sexual gratification" from a model on
Broke Straight Boys It has nothing to do with if he did the "right thing" or told a little white lie or a big lie, and his future employment on the site is up to management and I do not care either way, for there are many more models here who do not interest me than models who do, and I understand that my fetish for believably straight guys is in a minority, even among membership of this site.
But in the case of Tommy, he appeared as a
Broke Straight Boys in 2007 and if in 2014 he now appears on
College Dudes, a site where straight or gay is not an issue. I see Tommy as a totally opposite situation from Jake. Just as David Adamson told us in his final days on the forum reflecting back on the boys he directed, that Tank Shane had later become bisexual and had a gay lover. I think that is sweet, and has nothing to do with the "Tank Shane" who visited the futon many times,
before he admitted to himself that he enjoys sex with guys.
My belief is that
ALL guys who appear on
Broke Straight Boys, other than a few who did a solo and decided that they could do no more, are at least incidentally gay or bisexual, but may not admit it to themselves at the time of their initial scenes, and that is what makes the difference to me.
