When this BTS was released, my friend Ms. K was "outraged" and posted that Sha should have deleted this portion of the BTS and she got my other friend Abe, all worked up too, to the point where he said he no longer liked Jimmy, as a result of his bragging about cheating on his pregnant girlfriend.
To which I said "so what?". Jimmy was a twenty something year old porn star who used his dick to make a living. He was on the road on tour and met a girl in a bar or whatever and they had sex. Is that exemplary behavior? Hardly. Is that unusual? Hardly. Much like professional athletes on the road with their teams in cities across the country, this is what young men do. Not all young athletes or porn stars cheat on their women but a lot do. One of my idols as a kid was New York Yankee Micky Mantle. Years later a teammate Jim Bouton wrote a book called "Ball Four", where he blew the whistle on what really goes on, including amphetimines being put out during the pregame meals in a candy dish, but he also told of "baseball Annies", women who hung out at bars where baseball players did and would put notches on their belt, by sleeping with the mostly married players, while their wives and children were back home.
This information doesn't change how I felt about Micky Mantle and it sure doesn't surprise me or change how I felt about
Jimmy Johnson. It is just a reality of what young men, (and older married guys too), do when the opportunity strikes. No biggie at all to me for a porn star to fuck when away from home. Ho hum.
Hi Mikey,
Good morning!
You do make valid points that Jimmy is doing what many (but not all!) of the men in marriages and committed relationships do. But does that make it right? If you're the married woman or the woman who thinks you're in a monogamous committed relationship how would
you feel if you're at home pregnant taking care of one of his kids and one on the way? And he's out there cheating on you with random women and possibly bringing home STD's, crabs or any number of dubious gifts that keep on giving?
Even if there are guys out there doing that to their wives, girlfriends, etc., it's just very bad form and ungentlemanly, to say the least to be bragging about it. Discretion would be called for. But Jimmy had no problem bragging about doing more than once...both in the BTS here and in
BSB TV show. He only had a problem with bragging about it when word got back to his girlfriend and he tried to unsuccessfully lie his way out of it.
But... You were gracious in saying you understood my point about the fact that he was SO overexposed on the site during that year. That was one factor that turned me off to him. He was just everywhere on the site ALL the time. I will admit and concede the point to you that the BTS's with Jimmy and Rob were often quite cute in the their playful easy banter with one another. The other underlying subplot was Rob's not so subtle constant attempts to gain Jimmy's friendship and attention. Rob had a real man-crush on Jimmy. haha Some of their BTS scenes are fun to watch. I
did find myself smiling while watching Jimmy and Rob interact in other BTS scenes as I searched for the one I was looking for last night. lol
Having said that, I still feel that other deserving models (possibly more deserving than Jimmy) were denied opportunities to travel and do events to make room for ever more Jimmy. It seemed at the time that they truly felt that no amount of Jimmy was too much. You would have thought that he really
was a big star of the site who worked hard, put out all highly rated scenes with consistently good or great reviews and drew a great number of new viewers to the site. In fact the truth was, with a few exceptions, that his scenes consistently rated in the bottom basement of
Broke Straight Boys archives, while many members either quit or threatened to quit the site because of him.
But he was Clay's favorite Golden Boy who could do no wrong. Clay coddled him, made excuses for him to upset members, enabled him, and let Jimmy tell
him how things were going to be on the set. Even some newer models were told or indoctrinated to believe that Jimmy was a huge star of the site. And that he really
was a big deal. When in truth the only thing that made him stand apart from other good-looking and more talented models was an extremely generous one year exclusive contract. The quantity of work being offered to a model does not always equal quality. Many of us felt like we were reading a 3-D version of The Emperor Has No Clothes.
If Jimmy had just been here for 4-6 months, I think he would have been more tolerable. In viewing his work, it would have been easier for his detractors to have been much kinder. Both at the time and in hindsight. When dealing with Jimmy's innumerable one-sided scenes of getting his dick sucked and then topping, both here and everywhere else online...less is more. haha
