these 2 queens…lol. They fought publicly on twitter every time they separated. They shared private messages between the two and videos….it was dramatic. And then the
Paul Canon video of him talking about doing porn and telling his family…..trying to act somewhat straight. The whole thing was a lie back in the day. They were totally a couple the whole time.
Your post Jay, brought back memories of the “Dynamic Duo” of
Broke Straight Boys, or as Tampa said the term I used to use, the “Liz & Dick” of
Broke Straight Boys lol My earliest memory of Damien was when Mark was originally casting the
Broke Straight Boys-TV show and his concept at that time was for a competition show of some sort, like The Batchelor and he urged guys to submit audition tapes and he showed them on the site. (I once tried to find those auditions, but I can no longer find them). One of the most popular was from a brash, skinny kid with a New England accent who eventually was rebranded as
Damien Kyle I had a close lady friend on the forum, who got his social media info and began messaging with him and she was the first to tell me that he would appear on
Broke Straight Boys This was how he looked when we first saw him on the site in October 2012.
Paul Canon started during the same month, October 2012.
There were rumors of them hooking up, and as time went by it became a fun exercise for forumites to look closely in BTS and in scenes where they appeared together. Damien always seemed to “shoot daggers” at the other models who had sex with Paul in the 100th Episode Bareback Orgy.

They publicly came out as a couple during the
Broke Straight Boys-TV series and they became the darlings and villains of gay social media. They would famously move in together and have a big fight, (usually because Paul cheated). But they would get back together again just like the real Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Damien became the master of social media and was actually a great promoter for the site. And they both were prolific posters on this forum, and because of some of their posts, Mark instituted a new system where model posts had to be approved before appearing on the site, whereas member posts appeared instantaneously. They also communicated with some members of the forum, off site and I know of one member who had a private lunch with Paul, Damien, Damien’s mother and little brother. I always wondered how Damien explained to his family who this older man was, lol Damien also spoke to other members on the phone that I know of too. He was and still is a great self promoter.
Eventually they were let go from
Broke Straight Boys, which angered some of their fans, but my feeling is you can only be a “
Broke Straight Boys” for so long, before it is time to move on. Paul went on to great success in porn with another site. Damien did some porn, but more modeling and social media promotion, which he does to this day.
These two were the most important and influential models in the history of
Broke Straight Boys, in my opinion. I could say so much more, but I have gone on too long already.
