Paul Canon Comes Clean With His Mom After Finding Him On Gay Porn Site

[DChristopher]

When I first read this, I was like....ok, Damien and Paul have established themselves pretty well on this site both, as models and personalities. Getting to know "The Rest of the Story".....as it were, just helps me see them as real people. I am still able to enjoy their work because, their work speaks for itself! Plus, there is a seemingly large push to get the audience ready for the Broke Straight Boys-TV show. This all seems to support that!

Here is where I am feeling the "Disconnect" though. We are getting soooo much information about the models, how they are being worked with to make them better performers, how they are trying to do what the members want to see etc. So much delving into their back grounds. There is so much push to please everyone that, I find it harder and harder to watch a performance without trying to figure out; "Who's card did they select this week"? Oh, this scene has riming so....it must be so and so, or "there's foot worship" so....it must be the guy......my point is, where is the spontaneous, exploration of the guys trying things that work in a scene, that they are comfortable with or discover they like without it being so seemingly staged? The other thing (for me) is, while I like getting to know a little more about the models, at what point do I stop watching them as (this sounds bad but to make a point) "guys I can lust after and desire" as part of my fantasy without feeling sorry for the way their life has been ? Do I lust, or do I take pity on them? I enjoy watching the guys and the porn, but it's getting harder and harder for me to just enjoy their performances with out thinking about all of the other stuff going in. Does this make sense to any one besides me?

I enjoy this site more than most of the sites I visit but,( mostly because of the forum) with the rare exceptions anymore, I don't get off on the scenes like I used to.

ecause
I understand how you feel. I look at it this way, In a way, I often feel for the guys when they share their stories, but I quickly learn that each one of them is a survivor. Many have become better people and have grown because of their experience with porn and Broke Straight Boys Many of them don't have families and we try and provide that for them. They feel safe with us. There are some things that they share that I choose not to show because it's way too much information, or for their own safety. I believe you can still learn more about their backgrounds and still feel a sexual attraction to them (or want to see them perform) without feeling sorry for them. It's like being in a new relationship and your partner sharing more about the good and bad things they have struggled with in their lives. You don't lose the attraction to them.In fact, it may grow. We aim to provide a clear, and accurate portrayal of the models so that you can get to know them intimately as real guys having gay for pay sex. Do you really want to know about their demons or struggles? Not always. That's the big question. However, I believe that learning more about them allows you to not only be attracted to them physically, and continuing to be attracted over time, but also to become attracted to the model's personality, not just his looks. That creates a stronger bond with not only the models, but with the site as well.

Also, It may not seem like it, but the scenes aren't staged. We brief the guys before every scene and ask what they are comfortable with doing. Some are more willing to experiment than others. These guys are straight so sometimes we have to discard our original idea for the scene and do something different because one or two of the models isn't into trying something new. We work with each of them to make them more comfortable and improve their performance. The result that you see on screen is a result of coaching and making them comfortable in the studio. For example, it took 6 months for one model just to commit to a solo, so you can imagine the time and effort that goes into all of this. You'll see some of this in the show.

I'm curious to know why you don't enjoy the scenes as much as you used to. Your feedback on this would be great as we are always evolving to give our members a better viewing experience.

Hope this helps! Thanks ~D

This does help a lot and, thank you for taking the time! I really appreciate that!

I suppose....as I've been with the site for a while now, I've experienced a few "transitions". Both in terms of directors and models. Understandably, one has to wait a period for the "dust to settle" and it does. I don't know that I DON'T enjoy the scenes as much as; I miss the "anticipation aspect." There are growing pains all around! When new models come, there is the period of adjustment as they become better performers. The more "seasoned models" have gotten past that and can be more; creative and provide a new element seamlessly (based on their comfort). When Paul for example; rode Tyler in the scene he bottomed and Tyler topped, there was (for me) the element of surprise! What Paul did (performance wise) was something I would have expected to see from Damien actually! Even with Romeo and Tate; there were surprises because, they both have the comfort and experience in their performances. Damien always gives a good performance and GREAT depending on the scene partner!

We crave new models, we get them! We don't want to see the same models over and over, YOU GUYS GET THAT! It's a period of transition for me...which I am sure....will pass!

But I do appreciate what you've given in the above comment and, it will be very helpful to me going forward to gain a different perspective! I do indeed, want to maintain that "Lust and Desire" for the models, that makes me anticipate every scene regardless of the models' story, cause they are "hot and hot performers"!

Thanks for the reply. Stay tuned as we take all the comments and evaluate them in order to make the site better than ever.

If you like snark or care to set some of the posters straight, you should head over gay porn blog StraightUpGayPorn where they promote the scene as it made its way onto YT.

Hey, thanks PascalBrutal! I get what you mean and I actually could relate to some of the things said. I won't go into details but, I said a few of the things mentioned myself, immediately after watching! Sometimes it's nice to get feed back without having to defend a statement you've made. These posts put it in a perspective I could appreciate. I will book mark this page for future interesting discussions. I assume they discuss most any porn site? Thanks again for posting the url! Betu.

I had to buy a brand new camera just for this interview and fly out everyone to Florida for this. It was a tough interview and we really didn't know what the reactions were going to be. I am very thankful that Paul and his family were willing to do this.

I'm glad it came out so well. I love pauls confidence he shows in his scenes, but to see the "little boy" in him shaking and nervous between his parents shows we all are still kids in their eyes. It was a side of paul that I personnally am glad I got to see, it now has me loving him a just a little bit more....

I thought this came out great too. The video quality was excellent. Which of course would be explained by the new camera. lol It was sweet and even humbling for me to watch, seeing him in a moment of high stress and vulnerability, seated among all of his closest family who love him more than any words can say. I felt privileged that he and his family ever agreed to do the interview at all. There was a certain altruism though way beyond any notion of promoting Paul or the site.

I found three important lessons here. One was a family expressing the importance of loving and accepting your children regardless of whether they may be bi or gay. While not promising to always be thrilled at all of your children's choices in life, the other is accepting and supporting them in whatever honest and legal way they choose to make a living. Mainly, you never disown a child you claim to love and care for, for being anything less than totally straight or for doing porn. That's an important message to get out there to the whole international human family. I hope this video goes far and wide for those reasons alone.

Of course the other huge reason I believe the family did this for is to show how drugs and addiction can tear wonderful families apart with grief, worry and loss of life. It does have a "scared straight" quality to it that speaks to the heart much more forcefully than any 30 second tv commercial that I've ever seen. I still get choked up and teary eyed if I dwell on the image of Paul's brother carrying his comatose and dying body into the Emergency Room. If I were his brother, even though Paul thankfully survived (Thank you Lord!), I'd be a basket case for weeks...if not much longer than that.

The Gaily Grind refers to this as the tv show's first episode, mistakenly so, I presume:

It says, "Broke Straight Boys’s new online reality show has officially released its first episode, featuring adult performer Paul Canon.", so they are also saying it is an "online reality show", whereas Mark and Damian Christopher are saying that they are searching for a cable network, so there is a discrepancy.

The problem with the BTS is that it is taken from the BSB TV series which no one has ever seen. I noticed in a few earlier clips that we have been honoured to see that a lot older models who have now left were there. So the question is, when did they start shooting the series and how current is Paul's situation. This is slightly off thread, but we have been given half the recipe, having being promised the cake yonks ago.

This video is separate from the TV series and was filmed at a different time. It's a complimentary segment to the show so that when people watch the show and come to the site to learn more about the characters, they'll find quality interviews, scenes, and other fun stuff. This was a last minute shoot where we traveled to Florida after the family reached out to us and wanted to share their story. I knew in my head the questions I wanted to ask, but the interview took a more intimate turn when Paul's family really opened up about everything. So much so that we still have footage left over that may appear in the future.

For the BTS, we literally start shooting from the moment the models get off the plane, to the moment they leave. We have enough footage for a full length documentary (over 150TB of footage). Some of the models come to just hang out so seeing a model doesn't necessarily give away when it was filmed. So overall, you've been given a morsel while the cake is still in the oven. A TV show takes a good deal of time to go from concept to completion. There are network notes, re-editing, promotions, focus group testing, close captioning, cast shoots, and financial negotiations that take place before a TV show is aired. So, the cake is coming, but not until it is perfect.

We're not sure where the press got that it was the first episode, or that it was an online series, but that is incorrect. The first episode is an hour long piece that introduces who we are, the cast, and some mayhem that happens on a soon to be named network. This was a simple interview to wet viewers appetites. We call our Youtube BTS an online series and perhaps that's where they got it from. We were actually surprised that this has gained so much press. Just goes to show you that people are excited to see the world we live and work in.

Understood. The site will only get better as we try new things out and evolve. Out of curiosity, which did you prefer watching? Seasoned guys or newbies that, while they may be hot, are learning to become more comfortable with sex with another man?

 

[DChristopher]

His family actually reached out to us in hopes of understanding Paul's career choice. No money was exchanged and it's a BTS video which is a bonus. His Mom especially was brave, kind, and overall amazing. She made dinner for the entire crew and gave me a personal tour of Paul's life through pictures and items special to her. It was an amazing experience. Paul is good now and enjoys a healthy lifestyle. To say that the family did this for money or through coercion really takes away from the essence of what was. A heartfelt family intervention that can inspire and educate.

 

[DChristopher]

Is there an upcoming BTS where Damien Kyle opens up about his past, either with family members present or not, or do we need to wait for that to be presented on the TV show itself?

Not a long wait, it's coming soon!

(...) We were actually surprised that this has gained so much press. Just goes to show you that people are excited to see the world we live and work in.

I think that people outside of Broke Straight Boys were most surprised with the caring family environment this video had, which is very unusual for a porn bts segment. Maybe it even was a first? The well-worn gay porn bts format focuses on models' shenanigans and confessional-styled interviews but this went a lot further than that.

Paul and his family were absolutely charming and that's not usually what is focused on in a reality series, which likes to find out-there personalities and gawk at them in mock shock. This was far from that. It still had an element of titillation because DRUGS! and SEX! but it really normalized them.

So maybe people are getting tired of young people acting crazy and competitive all the time (see the forum's reaction to some models lifting the veil on Vadim Black's departure and return) and embrace heartily another insight into the industry.

Can it be replicated or was it just a one-time lighting-in-a-bottle kind of deal remains to be seen.

Ahh, that's a good question but, at the same time, difficult to answer because, for me...it depends on the models involved! I know that a lot of requests have come for the return of Jason Mathews to "break in a newbie". My own personal opinion is, someone with Jason's obvious professional skills and talent, really does make for an interesting (and enjoyable scene) because I get to see the element of surprise. Jason knows how to find what his scene partner responds to favorably and they usually end up getting into the action a lot more. There are other models who would be considered veterans who also exhibit these talents. While there are also times when two fairly new models can discover "each other's "pleasure zones on their own! I am not trying to "infer or insinuate" but, I've observed that "thing" that some models bring with them to the experience and people have called it "chemistry"! Let's be honest, some of these guys have a certain curiosity and when develops during a scene with the right partner....it's a wonderful thing to watch in a Broke Straight Boys scene. Those things cannot be directed!

So to answer your question from my own perspective, it's a combination of both, and it can really depend on the individual models paired! Comfortable with the actions performed is the key ingredient for me! Thanks Damian!

I think it's a great idea for bringing in new members. If their first introduction to the site is through the tv show, any marketing person worth his salt is going to do everything he can to turn the tv show fans into members of the site. What better way to do that than to promise them extra features on the official site revolving around some of their cast favorites (or even favorite villains, lol) on the show?

To that end I don't think it's a good idea to release these particular kinds of BTS vids and put them on Youtube. This one of Paul and the upcoming one of Damien I believe really should be exclusively a perk of paid membership. Like the old saying goes, "Why buy the cow when the milk is free?" lol Much like MTV does with Real World, at the end of the show you say something like:

"If you want to get more news of your favorite cast members then please join the Broke Straight Boys-TV forum at BSBTV.com and enjoy online chats with some of the models. Get their take on some of your favorite episodes. For more exclusive interviews with models on the show please join us on the official website Broke Straight Boys.com to see content unavailable on television. Adults only. Must be over 18 to join."

For some reason I'm imagining a well-spoken soft female voice for that particular announcement. lol

I knew in my head the questions I wanted to ask, but the interview took a more intimate turn when Paul's family really opened up about everything. So much so that we still have footage left over that may appear in the future.

I think it's a fantastic idea to do something with the extra footage! Please don't let that gather dust and fade into oblivion. This BTS vid touched me in a way no others have. And for obvious reasons. I think future audiences will feel the same way. So if there is a follow-up to this vid with the extra footage later, I'm sure that will go over well also.

Paul, I forgot to mention I have the same brand and model keyboard your parents have at home. I loved when you were playing it.
