Now I haven’t voted yet because I’m still undecided. Personally, I would never consider selling myself in that fashion. That being said I must say that I do not consider this industry along the lines of having sex for money like many might. Ironically I will take my clothes off on camera but never will you see me anywhere else lacking even a tee shirt. With the exception of hot outdoor activities or pride events where I spend hours baking in the sun. You will never find me at any bar, gay or straight, stripping any layers off for any reason unless im on fire. (Which sounds crazy but I once actually caught fire in a bar when I first started bar tending) Let alone some strangers hotel room for money. More power to those who can do it… its just not for me ! That’s just how I feel.
First, I may not be doing this copy paste thing right because it's not like Microsoft Word SORRY, Second, I'm glad Jason responded to this poll, Third, I can't believe it's still getting activity. I love reading all the different perspectives. Porn and escorts have always intrigued me. I have read more than a few "novels" by previous porn stars and escorts trying to understand the profile. I'm not surprised Jason would not escort. His personality and self concept would not accept such a social position. Porn, especially today, gay or straight, is becoming an accepted and appreciated status, as such, most people would have no problem saying they do porn and most would only tell their best friends they escort. BTW Jason your lucky my ego does not allow stalking, but maybe a drink someday would be cool because if I ever did decide to do a Pride event my main reason would be to shoot the shit with you.
The industry as a whole, I know as a matter of fact many of them escort. Others would sell their "companionship" (whatever that may be) for a rare offer and I don’t necessarily consider that escorting. Example, a big fan wants to take you to dinner or even have sex and offers you money for such service, although you indulge you don’t advertise as an escort and don’t usually do such a thing. You decide based solely upon the circumstances of the situation.
As far as BSB2 is concerned. I do not know of a single model that is also an escort regardless of their orientation. Yes the guys are supposed to be straight, and honest to god MOST OF THEM ARE, more so now then with
Broke Straight Boys 1 for sure, but a small percent of them curve a little farther than others, but like it or not the reality is most the guys on
Broke Straight Boys 2 are absolutely straight (or so they continue to claim off camera) I have heard stories from less popular models that haven’t been with us for a while that they received offers for such activity. Their claim was they rejected the offer of course. In the end you never really know what a models personal life involves beyond what they disclose or your able to infer.
I completely agree, I really am happy with
Broke Straight Boys -2 because I do believe the majority of the models are straight and of course their are the BI guys and then throw in a fag here and there (lol). My next poll will address this question. Maybe I should change my name to "pollster". Can you do that? As far as Jayson's opinion on if the guys on the site escort--- he hit the mark, we got a reliable source and my expected outcome appears correct.
In my opinion based on no fact, I would assume from things I’ve seen and people I know that Porn is a prelude to escorting. But it’s also a what came first, the chicken or the egg kind of situation. I would guess that more models pursue escorting when their exposure has been maximized and that becomes their alternative. There is also the possibility that just because you’re an escort doesn’t always mean you’re having sex. Some people just enjoy good company and are willing to pay for it.
Well Jason I agree and disagree. Yes there are older gay men who would enjoy the company of an attractive male for dinner and companionship and be more than will to pay all expenses involved, however, I seriously doubt any "functional" gay male would expect or accept it to end there. Unless, of course, that was stipulated in the verbal contract prior to meting.
I have actually been in the situation where as a tactic of revenge someone somewhere created me an escort page, I think they may have even paid for the advertisement (not sure though) For weeks my email was filled with all sorts of responses which I simply leave un responded. To my knowledge they have all been removed at my demand, but you never know what’s hiding in the depths of the internet. So much for my presidential campaign.[/QUOTE1
