Oh my, where to even begin. I suppose I could start by reassuring you all my intention is not to lower or discredit
Kodi and his work. He is apparently a good model. Otherwise he would not have been working for so long. However, it is never within my authority or discretion to instruct Clay on how to direct his videos, EVER. Not under any circumstance. I have worked with and got to know Clay long enough that I am convinced he knows EXACTLY what he is doing.
This is an issue I only chimed in on. I didnt start it, I wasnt the first to think about it. I know from my observations in the studio or around the office and even reading on the forum, that
Kodi and is "acting" was an issue. I also know that Clay became aware of this on his own and took the actions he felt necessary. I did not have to point it out. I understood and still understand that his performances have improved and his over acting has decreased.
After reading so many post on how out of line I was, I was curious. What exactly did I say to spark such controversy. I went back and looked at all my posts to find the answer. Well, frankly Im still baffled. My opinion of his over acting and him having "erked me" with his constant stare and play to the camera, well that comes not as a model but more like a member. Simply a spectator. I was not referring to the video we worked on together but his work previous that I knew about.
However, my input as a model was he is young, inexperienced and has alot to learn. Life is all about learning and so long as he takes advantage of the opportunites for improvement and the pursuit of education in his life, I will never hold his ignorances against him. The fact is you cant change something if youre not aware its wrong. There is no better person to point out ways to improve and offer criticizm, no person who has earned the right to more than a model he has worked with. I have sat down with
Kodi one on one and discussed in depth, his future and exactly what I think of him, he knows where I stand and I offered him the best advice I could. The kid is 18 years old. He is still in high school or very recently graduated. He hasnt even experienced life yet. I would be remiss to sit here and blindy say how great
Kodi is because thats not what I think. Fortunatly I share that opinion with a few, and when I speak to any flaws I feel he has in his performance they are based on my observations from all his work. Again, I will say, in that scene my issues were more with the conditions and environment than the model. At the end of the day, we both went in there and did our personal best and came out producing a hott video. Thats whats important.
Kodi has done 14 scenes with
Broke Straight Boys As a model, he shouldnt be that inexperienced. Sex, incase you havent noticed is usually a team effort. I too am not a fan of all the fake moaning and grunting heavy breathin and cheesy dirty talk. So when it becomes present, it should be authentic. I dont say things because I enjoy hearing myself talk or it sounds good on camera, Im actually very shy and nervous about talking dirty. So when I do I appreciate when my partner either on camera or off accomodates me accordingly. That is the entire purpose. So naturally, when my request is ignored I feel as if I wasted a good line on someone who simply didnt know how to take it. I thought it was sex... he thought it was good acting. but then forgot his line :/ (so to speak)
Now onto other news. Yes, it is absolutly true, models do get paid to post on the forum. They are paid only for legitimate posts and are paid by the post. Its a low but fair amount. Its a new business practice that was started sometime shortly after I began posting to the forum. Its an opportunity for both the models to have more ways to earn income, develop a fan base and promote themselves as well as a way to enhance the member experience, boost the activity of the forum and give you an opportunity to interact with your favorite models. You pay for your membership to the site and so the company is putting that money back into the site hoping to improve it. I have always theorized that some models will simply post alot of useless nothing to try and get their count up. Its certainly possible but I havent really seen too much of it.
My pleasure has always been interacting with the members and getting to know many of you more personally as you learn more about me. It gives me the chance to hear about what I can improve on my performances and pinpoint exactly what Im doing right so I can continue to create excellent videos. If you will notice, alot of my posts are quite long. Many of them replying to multiple people in the same post. My objective has never been to increase my post count. In fact my post count is irrelevant to me as I have never requested a payment for a single post that I have made. I was never asked or told to join the forum and am not motivated by the money rather the people. I do represent the company and I have alot of experience in Public Relations and Business so I always try to positivly represent the company and promote good business standards and ethics. I feel that my statements were not out of line and had I sugar coated it or not called it how I saw it I would then be doing the company a great disservice and not acuratly represented
Broke Straight Boys or my personal opinion. Please keep in mind this was not an attack against
Kodi, I was merely commenting on things people had already pointed out.
to your being around. What is it with ex-marines? Wise beyond their years and so insightful too. You looked good in your marine uniform, but of course you always look good, anyway and anytime! I love your sense of "humor", your nack for being introspective, and your interaction between Blake and you, for instance. You two are the perfect complement to each other as well!
