Just watched Izzy's interview! Bright articulate attractive young man with certainly pansexual attractions. To be attracted to girls, boys, trannies going male to female and trannies going female to male is certainly pansexual! More and more I'm appreciating David's interviewing skills. In this interview he developed very well the generational differences and attitudes towards the newer labels of sexuality. Also, a few years back David was more "take his word for it" when a new model claimed to be totally straight with no other experiences with other guys or other gay porn studios, only to be caught in their lies by some of our tech savey members reviewing the internet. Apparently learning from that experience (and possibly hurt by implications that he might have been a party to such lies), he now inquires about that and gets more interesting and truthful interviews as a result. So kudos to both David and Izzy for an intriguing and informative interview, and I look forward to watching the upcoming scenes of this attractive young man.

I totally agree with Tampa that the interviews and the “Getting to Know” segments are one of the factors, (along with this forum) that have kept me a continuous member of this site since 2008. And David is the absolute best at getting the most out of these guys. No we do not always get the 100% true story of their lives, but we do get to see more of who they are than on any other site that I know of. David has a disarming personality that gets the guys to say things to him that they probably hadn’t intended to say. So yes, I do agree with everything you said Tampa about Broke Straight Boys and especially David’s interviews.I also want to thank David for bringing to the members so much depth and a broader perspective to the models he interviews. This is one of the great things that has always set Broke Straight Boys apart from the crowd of other sites. David's interview style and ability to easily banter with the models has always been one of his fortes. Even when we get a new model who admittedly has worked for another or several other sites, I dare say we learn and know much more about him over here than the customers at other sites ever did. Do they know if he had a great loving family and and upbringing, or a really dysfunctional effed up one? We usually do. Do they know if he has any siblings or where he falls in the pecking order? We members at Broke Straight Boys usually know. Has he had any great triumphs or tragedies in his life so far?
Even in regards to sexual orientation I think because of these kinds of interviews and somewhat prolonged intros to porn videos of the past, we give the models an open floor to talk in more depth about their proclivities in more detail and (usually) with greater honesty.
A guy like Izzy at another site might be asked on camera about his sexuality (maybe) and if he knows he has only 5 seconds to answer, he'll probably punt. He may just say something like, "Bi." or "Slightly bi." or "Mostly straight." or "Straight-curious" or a simple, "Pansexual." For him that's very imprecise. Over here at Broke Straight Boys we get a much better picture. Because the models are asked open-ended questions and allowed to elaborate. That's a unique concept in the traditional porn industry.
I know there are some here (and certainly there have been in the past) who are or were turned off by the lengthier intros to the vids while the directors had mini-conversations with the models. (Including some of the BTS vids.) They would say things (in as many words) along the lines of, "I don't want to see a freakin' Barbara Walters, Larry King or Oprah interview of my porn models. Just get their clothes off quickly and show them performing for me."
I can't argue with that kind of mindset or personal preference. To each their own. But I do not fall into that camp. While I don't consider it a priority to know every little detail of a model's personal life or upbringing...it certainly does add to my own enjoyment (and appreciation) of a model's work if I have a fuller background story of what makes him tick in real life.
