I did se a lot of comments directed towards how Broke Straight Boys seems to be losing its sense of the classic straight guys being lead into gay porn for money aspect. I've watched some of the old Broke Straight Boys episodes where its just the guys on the couch with the director throwing more and more money at them to take their clothes off and suck each others dicks and so forth, and even though that style of porn was interesting to watch, I fell if Broke Straight Boys kept doing scene in that manner, it would have gotten really old, really fast, which is why I believe the company has evolved into what it is today.
I responded to Ian's comments directed toward me on the thread of his recent scene, but I do believe that ViceKid explains it even better in his reply.Hello Ian,
I must congratulate you on a well written post. I agree with some, but not all of what you say. I agree with you about the change of pace, location and to some extend the going back to the beginning of Broke Straight Boys What I want to bring forward now, I have done so in other post including one where Damian C. asked for feedback and Tyler Whites thread. Just wanted you to know that this is not new.
The original premise of Broke Straight Boys and its success dealt with coning "straight guys" into having sex with guys. That concept worked extremely well in BSB1. What attracted the audience (some (not most) of whom post on the forum) was how David, via offering (not showing) money to models to engage in man-on-man sex. It progress from touching , next to sucking and then fucking. For the most part the final outcome was not know until the money issue was settled. In many of the videos, we may not know how or what would happen until it happened. That sense of mystery was the glue that kept us in our seats. You would know it was successful when David himself had to catch his breath at what he just filmed. While we may not all like some of his verbosity, the unexpected outcomes made for interesting viewing.
If you look at today's videos, I could close my eyes and outline exactly what will happen: Brief verbal introduction, take off your shirts, take off pants, show butts, start to kiss, then touchy/feeley, then suck, then fuck or flip flop, cum, post cum review. This is not meant to take away from the models at all. No am I knocking the production team either. Just stating the facts. Therefore the videos have little to almost no surprise. It is like OK her I am, lets have sex. Is this different vs. any other site? That is why Damian C has asked about how to get back to the Golden Days. I believe, in part, Broke Straight Boys can use its past and incorporate it more in the current/future videos.
Part of the issue, in my opinion, is we keep seeing the same models over and over and over again. Mind you, I do enjoy Paul, Damian K., yourself, Kayden, Tyler (Evans and White), etc. But my question is this: When is a Broke Straight Boys no long a Broke Straight Boys and is now a Porn Star? A very valid question. This is not unique to Broke Straight Boys 3, but could be found in Broke Straight Boys 1 & 2 as well. Does this mean it is time to retire Paul, Damian Tyler, , yourself, etc? No! It just means to me we need to get more new models into the studio and seeing what can be done to get them to have sex with guys. And you "veterans" can come in now and then and perhaps be the ones to get the newbies "to go where no straight boy has gone before". Ian, does that make sense to you?
I believe that Broke Straight Boys can incorporate to some extent the beauty of it origins with the trend of a more open society to bring Broke Straight Boys's back to its unique edge in the porn industry. I have always had good relations with David, Mark and company. They appreciate constructive feedback. No radical change. But it would not harm Blue Media to look at the past and see what elements could help the future.
The hardest part of the Job that Mark has to deal with is what the hell is the market. The forum is only a small part of the "voice". He gets lots more feedback directly, not through the forum. So I know it is not an easy balancing act. I appreciate what he does and that it is not easy to please everyone. I appreciate all that Mark and Blue Media do and how they go the extra mile to take care of the models.
Hope this helps you understand where some of the forum may be coming from.
Thank for your understanding.
Live Long and Prosper,
Vicekid
And I would add that there is a diversified audience who subscribe to Broke Straight Boys, and some members may enjoy the new direction which reflects young guys "pansexuality" today, but there are also hard core fetishists who still enjoy the thrill of watching a reluctant straight boy being seduced by cash to come out of his comfort zone. My suggestion has long been for Broke Straight Boys to present a variety of types of models and scenes, for with three updates each week, I believe that it is possible to satisfy all of the people, at least some of the time.
