So after about ten weeks as a dues-paying, Broke Straight Boys member, thought it was time for a ‘What I’ve Learned’-type post.
Broke Straight Boys is the first and only porn site I ever joined. I’ve been choosing which older scenes to watch based on the comments and suggestions from these boards.
I’ve also connected a little bit here and via Facebook with Ian (who completes his homework assignments from me on time!) and Adam, who I now know has a beloved grandmother who he values as much as I did mine. I also followed Jason’s struggles this summer, via the FB page he created about a union he hoped to install at his place of employment. Poor Jason. Keep fighting the good fight, J-.
But just now, I’ve spent the last few minutes asking myself, what do I believe, after 70-ish days of reading posts, watching old BTS and scenes from Broke Straight Boys-1 & -2? Let me start with Broke Straight Boys-1
I don’t believe many of the back stories about the models during the Broke Straight Boys-1 era were true, however the onscreen machinations – the giggling, chatting, stops and starts, grimaces and winces that slowly changed to confused expressions of pleasure – seemed very real and I can see why many long time BSBers miss them.
The interviews that accompany most Broke Straight Boys-2 scenes however, I believe probably do reflect at least part of what’s really going on in the models’ lives away from the studio. What seems less “real” (not all the time, but often) is the sex as it unfolds onscreen.
The claims that models are brand new to this or that aspect of gay sex – this area’s where I think the truth gets stretched/embellished or just ignored. And I’m actually fine with that. In the end, all I really feel that’s owed us is hot porn that we can enjoy with the knowledge that the models and support staff involved in its creation are there voluntarily and safely.
That’s the biggest truth I see. Broke Straight Boys models are very well-taken care of; they’re having fun more often than they’re not and making some dough to explore new things, feel deliciously transgressive, pay off their sometimes alarming (Tyler B!) debts, and more. When they feel it’s time to leave the industry, most won’t be in any worse shape than they were when they arrived and many will likely realize they’ve experienced some positive growth along the way due to the professionalism and care with which BluMedia seems to operate.
Now, what do I think of my favorite Boys? Well, here’s where it gets fun. I know that we see what they (with the producers’ input) have decided their porn personas should be. But I've still formed impressions of what these young gents might be like off camera. I’m at the age where I’d be a young, hip-ish auntie to these guys. For fun, I've speculated about how I could see my favorites fitting into my life, should any of ‘em move in down the street from me some fine day.
Boy I’d like to have give grandma her meds – Graham. During his short but fruitful time posting, he mentioned he was working on a nursing certificate. With his beautiful smile and gift for gab, he’d be a ray of sunshine on any geriatric ward. He might even find himself remembered in a few wills when his patients’ eventually expired of natural causes. Runner up: Griffin. He just seems to steady and amiable. I’m sure he’d never drop anyone off a gurney.
Boy I’d invite to my family’s reunion potluck – Paul. I just know he’d be the type to walk around the table, trying each and every dish and moaning with pleasure. He’d make us all feel great about our own cooking and then he’d get everyone to play volleyball. Runner up: Johnny. Because I can tell he’s the kind of guy who’d let all the little kids dog pile on him to wrestle. And just when the kids were sure they had him pinned, he’d get up and nonchalantly walk off with the children still clinging to his legs and arms and neck.
Boy I’d like to give me a tour of a national monument or historic site. Blake. Just have a feeling he could wedge a LOT of information into his spiel and make it informative and interesting. Runner up: Denver, although I’d be a little suspicious the whole time that he was just making up facts as he took us along.
Boy I’d like best to be sitting next to on a transcon flight when the entertainment system went down – Jason. Hands down, would have to be Jason, aka Mr. Charisma. The star of Broke Straight Boys’s best behind-the-scenes features, he’s shown that he can talk on just about any topic but also that he also knows how to be a good listener. He’s a bit of an old soul which would help bridge our age gap. Runner up: This is absolutely a wild-card choice for me, based on postings and watching him in BTS features but, Liam.
Boys I’d have over to dinner, which I’d also make them help fix – my lads, Adam and Ian, natch. Adam I’d have do the chopping; Ian could fold napkins while drinking something large from Starbucks.
Boy I’d (age-appropriateness and other issues aside) actually consider inviting to spend the night at Casa Declyn. Colin. And I’d have him bring his wife too. Runner up – Diesal. Men with dimples just slay me. I really find Diesal beautiful – he looks like Diego Rivera ought to have painted him – sharp in a double-breasted suit and with a stacked blonde dame on his arm - into a mural in the 1930s.
Well, Mikeyank, you hoped I’d write this and I just did! What about the rest of you forumers? Which Boys would you fit into your lives and why? I may think of more I need to add later on…
