***************************************
Point taken, Another1!!!! (And neither your native intelligence, nor your sincerity, has ever been in question, in the least!)
However (and I don't wish to be disagreeable, particularly as this is one of those proverbial "dead horses"): but - I think we shall just have to agree to disagree, on this one.
I think we WILL AGREE, that dear Dakota has nothing whatsoever for which to apologize - though, some would say, because he HAD HAD sex with another guy, at some previous juncture, he could never be a fit
Broke Straight Boys model, at least to begin with. (Neither you nor I thinks so, so that's not an issue.)
What happened with Jake will forever be a slightly sore-spot with yours truly. Admittedly, he transgressed: he lied to the management (apparently) and the members. I personally believe he did this, because he knew the
ethos of the site, badly needed a job, and wanted to fit in and impress both the management and the members. Undoubtedly, that was wrong - but all I think it REALLY meant, is that he was a
BROKER straight boy, than most of them ;-)
It hardly needs to be repeated that I am a BAD, and RENEGADE, member of
Broke Straight Boys While I appreciate that it is crucial to others, and have no desire to upset the apple-cart: I am not here for the myth. I am not here for the narrative. I'm just here to see great scenes, with super-cute guys. I couldn't give a flying f*** if they've had sex with 100 other guys, before, or whether they apply mascara in the privacy of their boudoirs, quietly humming anthems from
Moulin Rouge. Frankly, I think the site would be BETTER if we had a few cute gay models on here - like
Cousin Mikey, who is a
legend.
BSB1 was a golden time, but, IMHO, it was not because all the models were as "straight" as some people thought they were - - - it was because David had a great eye for beauty, and talent. And probably, as Mike says, "drama". (MANY of those "straight" guys had appeared on other sites, in full coition, with other men, before.)
I'm sad about what happened to Jake, because, I thought he was beautiful, charming, and a SUPER model. I was looking forward to him becoming part of this blessed repertory company, and giving us many, many, wonderful scenes over the coming months and years. But instead, all the amateur "Poirots" on the site came out in force, decried him as "not being straight enough" - when, in reality, he is probably as straight or straighter than half the models on here - and, in the wake of that controversy, he fled to other, inferior sites. And we won't see him again, here.
I think that it is a tragedy, to waste a superb model, that way. Look around, Another1 - these days, models (and I think rightfully, and justifiably) are being forgiven, and getting passes for all sorts of misdeeds, left and right. I SUPPORT this, because I know that these are just young guys, and they make mistakes, and etc. I just think it is a shame that Jake wasn't afforded the same opportunity - perhaps to do a "mess-up, FESS up" BTS video, and then get on with doing great scenes, for us - as so many others, have done.
And I shan't dissemble. I bear a permanent sense of unhappiness and discomfiture, toward all those Internet detectives, and straight-fetish purists, who howled and howled until Jake was chased away from this site. Jake's biggest sins were that: He needed a job so badly, he was willing to fudge his resume to get one; and, HE GOT CAUGHT. (As so many boys from BSB1,
didn't.)
Absolutely, Jake's being forced out was the low point of my entire membership on
Broke Straight Boys, and made me re-think being here, altogether, if this is the way members are going to respond to models. You are welcome to any comments and thoughts which might occur to you, Another1 - and perhaps I am such a bad fit for this site, I OUGHT to leave. But I have been here because Jason, and Danny, and Paul, and a couple of others, HAVE brought me a little happiness, in the midst of arctic winters!
I simply think that the standard which some members apply to some models is hypocritical in the
EXTREME. IF WE LIKE HIM -
any sin can and will be forgiven, immediately. IF WE DON'T -
he is a liar, and must go, immediately.
Sorry to be so frank, Another1, but this is honestly the way I feel. I love Dakota, and these comments have no bearing on HIS return: for which I hope. However, I have a long, lingering, simmering, feeling of complete discontent about what happened with Jake, and the way members responded to him, and treated him. And your comments brought that back into
laser-sharp focus, for me.
I dunno, maybe in the future, that nice Tommy is going to haul us in some fantastic new models, like Dakota. In the meantime, I am kind of living off the archives.
