I don't like hiring guys that or popular from other popular sites. I turn down a few hot guys from other sites that those models are well known, I just don't think it makes good business sense and its not fair for our paying members to see models from other sites.
For me to use models that are plastered all over the internet and you can see them for free particularly all over the place then we are not unique anymore. The allure of our site is to see boys you don't see anywhere else. In the case of Shane, he was too hot and a super nice guy. He is very down to earth and a genuine person. Yes! I did disclose the truth and I believe by telling our members if the guy has had previous work, or if the model is gay or bi or straight/straight curious makes all the sense to do. Now I agree, once in a while we can bring in a "porn gay model" to help out with the straightboys to get them out or have a "guest appearance" type situation but don't count on it...LOL. I'm still keeping to the basics and hiring first-time newbies.
I agree with your thinking on this David.
