I can only assume, but have no definitive knowledge, that there is a pay scale with the lowest pay being for a solo scene, higher for oral only, and highest for anal. If that were to be the case, then money was not a prime motivator for Ayden because even in the days of condom-only anal he did only 3 anal scenes.
As someone who has been here forever Stowe, I recall David having a "supposed" pay scale, something like $200 for a solo, $500 to top and $1000 to bottom. He also sometimes "paid" the openly gay boys on the site less money, because they were gay and usually liked getting fucked by the straight guys.
By the way, I never believed the amounts of money negotiated on set, as I believe that the real deals were made before the guys signed their contracts. But while not believing the amounts bandied about, it did add to the eroticism to my taste of straight guys negotiating for more money to do what was asked of them, like the straight hustlers that you and I knew back in our day. I look at BSB1 as art imitating life.
Your wondering and my speculating is all fun, but only Ayden knows why he has done only 3 anal scenes and whether or not he hasn't done any since his last anal scene was posted on 2/2/13 because of bb. And we might never know! It is an interesting question.
I'd love to have Clay, or Mark or Ayden himself come on the forum to let us know if his lack of anal scenes is his choice or the directors.
