Actually I think the majority of straight guys who come through here have had whatever negativity toward the idea of physical intimacy with another dude already moderated considerably before we ever see them in an episode. They wouldn't be hired in the first place if they couldn't do the work, and their debut with another boy will already have been photographed during rehearsal before Clay turns on his videocam. Of course I mean the real people, not the BSBs who have cloaked themselves in their performer personas. The BSBs in the new version of the site are all pretty much "straight guys" regardless of how steamy their guy on guy dreams might be in real life. I said not too long ago that there are too many easier ways to make more money than what they get paid by Blu for them not to have some kind of bisexual curiosity going down before they even apply for a modelship.
In post after post from David Adamson over the years we were finally brought to the realization that at the very least, at the very Least, the average dude who turns up on the couch has at some time wanted to find out what another guy's dick felt like: in his hand, mouth or butt.
As far as converting to homosexuality, we know that a fair percentage of them are at least bi before they apply for the job, and a lot of these get to like it enough during their work to start having girl friends instead of girlfriends.
For years on the forum we've been saying that we like to see "progression" in the boys' attitudes and performances. We said it enough, even to the point that it was bandied about in the pre-fuck banter in the episodes, that it became a mantra. The downside was that the individual performers couldn't carve out "gay" identities for themselves, straighties who bottomed better than they topped, or sucked a mean dick, or had an awesome pelvic thrust. Once we hit on the concept of "progression" we felt they all had to be run through the routine. Since according to the script they were all straight, and found the whole thing essentially repugnant anyway (so what the hell) it seemed reasonable to put them through the course from beginning to end (so to speak), the end being a colleague's stiffy in their backsides. It was like basic training rather than
Freshmen year. During basic training you all have to do the same exercises; during
Freshmen year to are urged to try stuff out and see what you like.
I don't have time to re-read this and do the Oscar Wilde comma thing on it, but I have the feeling it doesn't say much.
I'll just affirm before I go that there are so many reasons to love Colin that it would be difficult to define what the most important one is. Lots of it has to do with his just being so "Colin", those flashes of mental, emotional or physical attractiveness that escape description. Maybe in another post...
