I can only speak for myself, but I don't believe I'm unappreciative, demanding or fickle when it comes to what I expect from the BSB models. What I do expect is entertainment in some form around 80% of the time. Because of differing tastes there are scenes that will appeal to some members and not to others, that's the 20% that won't be to my taste and I completely accept that.
While I certainly don't expect to see true intimacy between the models I do believe I sometimes see a connection between two people, and I love it! And yes, although it's likely it's just great acting on their behalf, I don't much care. If I see it that's great, if I don't that's okay too. But if the models, like Blake, want to attempt to add intimacy to their scenes to please some viewers then I say give it your best shot.
The real problem, if there is a problem, is with the viewers not the models...we're all just people with different expectations and different desires, and that's just the way it is, and thank God for that otherwise Forumland would be a very boring place to hang out in.
Hell, Grace, you are one of the smartest people on this forum (and a lot of fun, I might add). I am seriously not unappreciative, perhaps a little demanding, and some say very fickle. But that's just me.
When I first "came out" and started cruising the streets in search of my next "victim", I was constantly "falling in love" with ALL of the guys who brought me great pleasure. At that point in time, I didn't realize that there was such a HUGE difference between "love" and "lust". And I might add that most of the guys who gave me the greatest pleasure, were straight, usually married with kids. If these straight men and I did not have "true intimacy", then fire doesn't burn and gravity is a myth.
"True intimacy" and "passion" are not products of sexual orientation, but of the desire of each partner to totally satisfy the other.
It is not difficult at all for two guys who have never met before, regardless of sexual orientation, to have true intimacy while having sex together. The problem is they both have to want to please each other. Too many scenes here are just two (or more) guys "acting" for 25 minutes and receiving a paycheck, no concern for anyone but themselves. And usually that works for most members (and for me too). But once in awhile there comes along a Blake, a Max, a Carter a Brandon or a Trey who want to do more for their fans than just "act". So they take the M2M sex to another level and nobody can ever make me believe that they were not truly intimate or passionate while filming. And their ratings went through the roof.
And as I have learned, often the hard way, passion and intimacy does not mean a "couple" is being born, confusing "love" with "lust", but rather "the moment" was thoroughly enjoyed by both models, because they cared about pleasing each other. Members seem to love watching this according to ratings. I know I do.
