I have been a loyal subscriber for a long time, but, all good things I guess must come to an end. The new models just are not my cup of tea. Some people I'm sure will be overjoyed with the transformation, but I don't. The guys are not cute, they all look roughtrade with the tatts...just not how I want to spend my money.

But thanks to David and all the previous models, ...I have spend countless hours on Broke Straight Boys.and I will surely miss it!

I was going through all the previous models (refer my post BSBv1.0 Review) & as I was sorting through them I realised there were periods of episodes that I was not impressed with any of the models that were appearing at that time.
Then there were periods of episodes that I was impressed with the models.
In all the sites that I have been a member of over the years this seems to be a normal cycle with models &/or scenarios.
So I don't feel I (or anybody really) can make a true judgement based on the few episodes that have been uploaded so far or the previews on the site's Tour pages.

I agree there was some models I just loved and others I hated. Getting Broke Straight Boys models is not an easy chore. They need to be straight, attractive and have many other requirements. I'm using a lot more sources for getting models and using model scouts so I do have more to choose from but it is still tough.
I want hot straight models on here just like everyone else. :p

This is what I have been saying for the longest time now. I have been on other sites and noticed the same trend. You have periods of greatness and periods that make you want to just quit. The combination of things offered by Broke Straight Boys is what has kept me here. The Behind the Scenes, the INterviews, the Episodes, and the Broke Straight Boys Gatherings, all comprise a very unique site sets Broke Straight Boys apart from the rest.

When the shoots and/or models suck, I watch the Bonus Sites, or just hang out in the forum. No site I have been apart of , has ever offered something like the Broke Straight Boys forum where we can voice our opinions, exchange ideas, and get to know a variety of very unique and special people. Plus, no other site has offered a method of complaining where you get an immediate response from the site owners. Kudos to you Mark for staying on top of things.

I watched Broke Straight Boys for several years before coming to the forum. Now I spend more time in the forum, and care less and less about the actual porn. Go figure! This from someone who originally was just in this for the porn!

Let me reiterate, guys, don't be so quick to abandon ship. Give the new Broke Straight Boys time to find its stride once again. I have every confidence that in the end, more will be pleased, rather than displeased with the results. Besides, you will encounter the same model and scene problems on other sites. It has to be a monumental task to find models for this particular site. AS for me, I am not going anywhere. Thanks Mark.
 
I'll give the site a bit longer but so far most of the guys chosen are quite unattractive with all the tattoos and kinda grungy looks. If it continues another month or two, I'll definitely be leaving because it just becomes not worth the money.
 
I have never weighed in here before. But I think the new look of Broke Straight Boys needs some time. I loved the old Broke Straight Boys I agree that the models so far look a little rough and I have never been into tats. Overall of all the sites I have belonged to, Broke Straight Boys is the best value for my money. Someone said if the models don't turn you on there are the bonus sites to go to and that is what I do. I say everone should give this format a chance.
 
Great post, JLipps4u. :thumbup1: I have to wonder if folks like ESPNGUYTN have ever been in a long term relationship. You have to ride the up and down waves of a relationship to make it work. If he truly has been a long term subscriber, he knows there have been times when this site has been boring for weeks on end.

I've certainly felt that way and have let my membership lapse for months, checking in on the blogs to see what's currently playing. When it got good again, I rejoined. But I didn't make a "I don't like this site" post and leave. Especially for a very first post, that's grandstanding.

On the other hand, slamaithe and Foix84, I think you've got it just right. You don't necessarily like what you are seeing but are willing to give Matthew and Friends time to figure it out.

Things ebb and flow. It was a remarkable realization when, in my mid 20s, I realized the secret of sex is this:

When you're hot, you're hot, and when you're not, you're not.

I've been pleasantly surprised with what we've seen so far. Is it perfect? Not by any means. But for a total reboot, it has been remarkably successful. I expect complete hotness is in my future. :drool:

You are so right Mark. Everyone is going to like certain models and not like some others. Your point reminds me, of all things, of a media interview being given by a representative for a major supplier of home baked goods. He was being asked about the company's efforts to improve the quality of products for the diet conscious comsumer. In a bit of exasperation he said, "Look... We know what the goal is. The goal is a delicious tasting cake with zero calories. We're trying..." lol

Just as with models you are looking for the "perfect" straight guy who will strongly appeal to every single member. A rather Quijotic quest if every there was one. lol Good luck with that. Right? haha All of you in Blu know what the goal is. Even if you are never going to reach it.

I'm glad to hear that you are casting a wide net to find quality models. All for the purpose of finding models who will appeal to as many members as possible. Some models (and scenes) will inspire, while others will bomb. It's the nature of the imperfect world we live in. The best we can hope for on a site on planet Earth is that there be more successful models and scenes than there are duds.

So I agree with those who are saying that we don't have enough of a representative sample to decide that with a staff so new to the site. Even the first 10 scenes or more are not enough of a sample for a new staff starting out. I think it's premature of people to jump ship right now. Even though they have every right to do so if that's what they want to do.
 
I'm sorry to hear that but you should give it more of a chance. I don't think you can base much on our first few scenes which have no sex yet.

I would like the oppotunity to see any of the videos of the new Broke Straight Boys but with the videos taking nearly 1 hr to down load this is not a thing I want to do. I think this maybe due to the fact that I used to be able to download the old Broke Straight Boys vids but they were in medium quality and not in high quality. I have tried to find out this before but have not even had an acknowledgement of my question
 
it's progress, not perfection!
5 video scenes which featured three solos, one group jerk off and one duo oral scene, represent a body of work that is about 2 months old.
Broke Straight Boys 2.0 rolled out just one week ago.
the owner is responsive to members' issues and the director reads the comments.
having a short production to release timeframe provides the ability to avoid, minimize and correct negative conditions.
just for the record, jo scenes generally. i have no fondness for jo scenes, even group jo's.
after looking at the scenes on the tour pages and the upcoming updates, i think i am in for a treat.
anal scenes = 3 coming soon
oral scenes = 2 coming soon
assplay scene = 1 coming soon


a trip from coast to coast just started and before you get out on the highway is not enough time to decide if the trip is worth it.

I have been thinking the same thing. I am trying to give it a few more episodes, but the site and the models and the guy who replace david just haven't been doing it for me. In my opinion i think david pushed the scenes as far a he could. you are probably right that all good things must come to an end. Some people I'm sure will be overjoyed with the transformation, I think the transformation is different. I happen to like roughtrade. These guys aren't giving me realness, these guys are more like butch queens, with the tatts.

I previously and still do have a hard time believing some of the scenes, but the fucking makes up for it sometimes. Since there hasn't been any fucking i am kinda at a loss

I have spend countless hours on Broke Straight Boys also..and hope the episodes will pick up!

I wish you would reconsider. The new site is still in its beginning stages of development. Who knows where it will eventually go? I really loved David's work on this site in the past as much as many others. Considering that D& E studios quit filming a few months back, Broke Straight Boys needed to have some content to put up. I believe that they may have shot scenes a few months ahead. The Broke Straight Boys as we knew it with D&E Studios evolved from customer feed back and input from the forum. The site has always managed to input our suggestions and feed back to some degree. It just took some time to implement and see the changes.

I feel the new film team is trying to find some common ground with its content. I am only guessing here. Like you I am just a member. I am seeing some interesting transitions with the new format. I am kind of seeing some remnants of" Twinks for Cash, His First Gay Sex, a touch of Corbinfisher, and some of the old futon action.

There are a lot of competitive sites out there. And each site strives to find their niche. I think this site kind of went back to the premise that they wanted to find some straight guys so down on their luck that they are willing to try anything for a few dollars. I think that Broke Straight Boys is trying to make strong improvements to really entice new as well as long time viewers. I know they try to give everyone something that they like in a scene or two once or twice a month to keep everyone happy. Personally, I liked the idea that the guys applied to Broke Straight Boys deliberately to make some money because they were hurting for cash and I liked hearing their story's told in the interview. (Getting naked on camera is not an easy thing to do especially with cameras and lights all over the place. Then take into account that they may be first time actors remembering a story line and their assumed identity to sell the concept. As I have said before I am surprised that they can get hard let alone get off with this kind of pressure.) I liked the idea that they were desperate enough to seek out doing gay porn deliberately. I also liked seeing some repeat models that decided that they might be Bisexual, sexual, or gay for pay. (Whatever they aspired too.) However, I know that this concept left many members questioning if the models were just just in denial about their sexuality. Whereas, I am not enamored with the concept of going out and finding some stranger in the park and bringing them back for a surprise photo shoot or flashing money at the camera with a corny line like, "I will do all most anything for cash." It worked for another site fairly well. So, there may be some members that are attracted to that type of video. Just because it was not for me does not mean someone else won't enjoy it. I also think back and remember that the old Broke Straight Boys developed two models Sean (Dr. Top and Bottom) and Tyler from some type of out of studio excursion. So, I am really trying to keep an open mind with these kind of video shoots because Sean and Tyler were two of my favorite models in the end. I do like the that the director is challenging the models a bit more with thing like tasting their own cum. I am totally against any model having another guy shoot their load into their open mouth or consuming another guys cum in any way. I don't think it is worth the risk. Again, many other fans understand that the risk of swallowing cum has marginally minimal risk of disease transmission (however marginal, the risk is there) and they don't like to think that people are so anal about the risk of transmission that they loose the passion of deep-throating or swallowing another guys load. (I guess it kind of ruins the moment when models bulk at consuming cum, when it should be a natural progression. I understand that. But, I keep thinking that the more this happens the more risk inevitably to the model. And getting an STD to manage for the rest of your life is hardly worth 15-20 min of fun and a few thousand dollars in my book. But, it does promote the idea of just how desperate these guys are for money.)

The thing is that this is porn and the site is a business. So, it is the job of business to supply what their customers are asking for. I think it will always be a delicate balance for management. "You can please some of the people all of the time but you never please all of the people all of the time."

I don't like to see member leave because this site offers so much more than just porn. The forum is its own GLBT and GLBT friendly community that offers a lot of opportunity for friendship. Also, there are many other sites to fill in the gaps where the videos do quite hit the mark for you on a particular day. You are the best judge of what you get from the site or why you like being here.

Bless your heart and thank you for letting me share my thoughts too. :001_smile:

LMAO...you know nothing about me, and for you to wonder about my relationship status just shows what a Drama Seeking Queen you must really be. And because you have 147 posts, that makes you more intelligent or more right??? I don't come to Broke Straight Boys to post on forums and talk about lipstick or interior decorating or whatever... I come to get a nut!!My god, girl, you are clueless. I have likes and dislikes..why should I pay for what I do not enjoy??

Grandstanding indeed. What a lonely miserable attention seeking life you must lead!
 
Aren't you gone yet? :wink:

Yeah, the sentence questioning your relationships was a poor one and should not have been in there. My apologies. I regretted writing it when I re-read the post, but with a 5 minute edit time, there it stayed. My line the past few years has been I try not to make my first mistake of the day before 10 AM. Failed again.

I stand by the rest of the post.

Kiss, kiss.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. As a whole, a paysite is really not much different than cable and satellite tv with hundreds of channels to choose from. The members, like television viewers, tend to quickly make a viewing decision. With tv, if they get bored, they just change the channel. With a paysite, your decision might take longer to tune into something else, but still people make a rather quick decision, before the next rebill, if they're bored they quickly cancel.

I know that it's almost a requirement to introduce a new guy in the form of a solo, but maybe it would be a good idea to jump right into the sex scenes and not bother with the solos, at least until the new Broke Straight Boys has found its ground? It seems like it's been awhile now that Broke Straight Boys 2.0 has been rolled out, but we still haven't seen any sex yet. Just really long interviews/seemingly never-ending pay negotiations with occasional jacking off.

I miss the old Broke Straight Boys too, but am still sitting here drumming my fingers on the table, waiting for some sex to finally start happening. Hopefully then we will all be pleasantly surprised. Especially if it doesn't take 5 minutes of negotiation before the clothes finally start coming off.

I'm still waiting for this new site to meaure up to the old one. The models on the old site........for the most part......were much better than the ones we are seeing now. All I see in these new ones are bunch of unshaven, dirty-looking guys with tattoos plastered all over them that make them look nasty and in need of a shampoo, shave, and shower. The scroungy look may attract some people, but not me. I'll take guys that look like Mikey, Jordan, Tyler, Logan, etc. any day over Vinnie, Jimmy, and this thuggy looking bunch you have now. These guys look like you raided a homeless settlement in some major city.
 
Add my vote to the "wait awhile" crowd. The only thing that i really don't like is all the flashing of money and the intrusive directing. Seems to me you would get better results by giving your performers a general outline and then let them do their thing.

Well said Jayman. Thank you. :wink:
 
I too am leaving this site. I have to say it has really gone down hill in the last few weeks and the new person who is doing the shooting is doing an absolutely horrible job. I have been a subscriber since July 2007 and the new models are nowhere near as good as the ones they used to have. I don't think the site is worth $5 a month let alone $30.
