Question about Josh (and Shane or Mike) Episodes page 25

[mactee]

Very well put Stimpy. I notice that the folks who seem to have the most criticism for David's style are those who joined the site either late in David's employment here, or after the change was made.

I almost feel as if you had to have been here as it was happening, to appreciate David's awkwardly charming, often politically incorrect style. He was like a dear uncle who the family cringes at some of the things he says, but we still love him, and know he loves us too, and not to take anything he says too seriously.

So I perfectly understand the reaction of folks who did not watch the "Adventures of David & his Boys" as the episodes were unfolding three times a week before our eyes, as a sort of gay for pay porn soap opera. Coming to the site and watching selected episodes of BSB1 without the context would probably annoy me too, and I might say similar things too about David's style.

MikeY,

I believe you are spot on about being here as it was happening. I joined then and made it a point to go back to the very first video, one of the funniest ones I might add, and began watching each one as it was released. I did not just jump into the middle or somewhere else. By doing that I was able to get the real feel of how unique David was to the genesis of Broke Straight Boys From his tightie-whities to his blatant lies (I've often thought that it was all show) to get the models to touch each other, it became most amusing to me to see just how Broke Straight Boys began. Todays scenes are a long way from the originals, but, there were plenty of hot models in the originals and a lot of humor.

It really was "The Adventures of David & His Boys," and I for one enjoyed them all.

Mactee, my friend, you and I see it the exact same way, as a continuing reality series, sort of a porn version of
"The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet", although come to think of it I would have loved for Rick Nelson to have visited the futon.

Overall, we are in total agreement!

A little bump for an old thread just because I also thought that Josh only did four scenes...but there's this one, which doesn't appeahttp://members.brokestraightboys.com/go/480/hit?PSSO=QWZZcUhPWXVqemlkR3lPTzM2NmhvQmhaZzREUjEva1lNWE5HTllhd21OYW1qdFZhUHVtS0NubVdlZlpNMXcxbQpuZWs0VFJyaXhRRUtzeHRMWHkrY2dBPT0K

You can see the affection between Shane and Josh was still there - they were the only two that kissed and whenever they were next to each other, they always made contact, touching legs, holding hands, etc.

That was a good scene Declyn. I like all of the models in the scene. From Diesal to Mike R, to "Porn Shane" as we use to call him and then Josh.

It's just painful for some of us who have been around for a long time to go back and watch scenes with Mike Robbins in them. He's no longer with us. (MHRIP)

Who can't admire the fact that MikeRobbins lived his life to the fullest and achieved in his eyes so much in such a short time. It is indeed sad that he is not here today to take his place along with other Broke Straight Boys greats like Jason Matthews, to have achieved an ever growing legacy of fine work to be admired by all members for the ages! Mostly I miss MikeR's mischievous smile and his passion for work!




Sincerely meaning no disrespect,



Stimpy

Indeed, Mike was indeed a great model and a super person. Josh of course was Mike's friend so that says it all too. Porn Shane was a great addition to the crew and always performed top notch.

Wow!!!! Thank you so much Declyn for highlighting this scene. While I know that the entire archive of work is always available to me, I never think on my own to go back to watch some of these classic Broke Straight Boys scenes, and I totally appreciate your doing the "leg work" for me.

I have so much to say about this scene, but I will try to be succinct in my comments. First, earlier today, as I was posting the article about the popularity of marijuana in the world today, I did think of dear Mike Robbins who posted extensively about his support of NORML, (The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws), and now I see him wearing a shirt that says "FUCK MILK. GOT POT?". Great timing.

I also thought of how the sound level on my computer is rather low, particularly in the summer when the sound of my air conditioner muffles sounds too, but in this episode I could clearly hear every word that David and the models said, which in 2013 is almost impossible for me during the current incarnation of Broke Straight Boys

Speaking of David, it was wonderful to hear him using his charm, once again making all four participants laugh and have a fun experience. This scene also featured both Diesal and Mike who were clearly tops, who tried bottoming, but it was not in their nature and they did not enjoy it, but were very effective in their top roles on Broke Straight Boys I firmly believe that it is not necessary for every model on this site to be versatile. This is a world where tops and bottoms exist and it is fine for good performers here to shine in their roles as either one or the other.

I also see that Declyn is spot on in noting the intimacy between Josh and Shane here as well in their more famous lovemaking scene, with touching, eye contact and even a brief kiss. I loved this, as it was natural and very real, not forced, and not pre-directed, It happened and it was good. While Josh may have been a straight boy, he clearly loved sucking on both Shane and his buddy Mike. There was a joy in his eyes and enthusiasm in his actions, that a true cocksucker such as myself can appreciate. When we are really into our partner, we want to suck and pleasure him to the best of our abilities.

And finally, it was so wonderful to watch Mike erupt like "Mount Vesuvius" once again with one of his prodigious cum shots across his shoulder. This scene was truly a hidden treasure buried in the Broke Straight Boys archives, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, and never felt the need to fast forward. Thank you so much Declyn for a much appreciated link.

Though I am one of those members who joined long after, David I do enjoy (and actually can appreciate) some of the older episodes. Through points made by some of the senior members about particular past episodes, it easier for me to understand (based on what I know now) why some are disappointed in the current Broke Straight Boys; direction, models, passionate scenes....etc. The whole Mike Robbins j/o with his friend Josh scene was quite a turn on for me. Even with David's "powers of persuasion" if you will, I couldn't help but watch and listen with a new perspective. That being said, I still have my own fantasies as they pertain to straight men and gay sex. I like the new Broke Straight Boys too. (Very much.) In my bedroom; Fantasy and reality are always very much welcome at the same time.

Excellent post, Betu. I appreciate that you have given some of the older scenes a chance and you can see what some of us talk about regarding the old style of David and BSB1.

From reading your posts on the current models and scenes, I understand that your straight guy fantasies differ from mine. But that is fine too, as this site features three new scenes per week, fifty-two weeks a year, so I would hope that management would understand that some of us might appreciate a few models more reminiscent of the guys from BSB1. Currently I am turned on by Cage Kafig, but I don't have high expectations for him remaining on the "straight and narrow", so to speak.

You should try Cage Kafig on Facebook. He is a very open and honest man; and yeah, I do think he is straight.

I am unaware as to what happened to Mike R. I do remember during my short subscriptions, he had that look and personality that I liked so I downloaded most of the anal scenes he was in. How sad and unfortunate. He was just a kid!

He did have a wonderful smile Stimpy. I remember one time when I referred to liking his "goofy grin" and he good-naturedly teased me for saying it in that way.

He was such a sweet man and yet a tortured soul. I'm grateful that he is at least at peace. He had a very difficult life with all of the issues he had stacked against him. We remember him and celebrate his life and we do still miss him. :/

Ah. I'm a member now of just over a month and only beginning to check out the BSB1 archives so I didn't know about Mike or Dustin. So last night I skimmed through the BrokeMike thread and was charmed but naturally also felt a creeping dread as I got closer to its end. Especially since Mike disclosed early on that he was self-treating his bipolar disorder with weed. There's so much emerging evidence now that depression and, particularly, bipolar depression combined with regular pot use can worsen the condition in many ways.

My favorite "old" model is hands-down PornShane, as he's also worked for the only other porn site I check out (NOT part of the Blumedia family; this site's a very, very different type of animal). At around the time the Mike/Josh/Diesal/Shane scenes would have been filming, he (as Shane Erikson) commented on a porn blog elsewhere that a LTR he'd had since his late teens had just ended. That kind of threw his connection with Josh into a new light for me. I think there really was sort of a big bro'/little bro' thing going on, as David suggested. He probably looked at Josh and saw himself at that age, just beginning to figure out his true sexuality, whether it was ultimately gay, bi or heteroflexible.

What a terrific post Declyn. I'm so glad you found the BrokeMike thread, and got to experience what a terrific, outgoing, upfront guy he was. Yes he had his demons, but I am blessed to have made his acquaintance, (through his films and his posts here).

I also appreciate your giving me information regarding Shane Erikson, pertaining to one of my favorite all time scenes here, of him and Josh and being able to watch the surprise and the pleasure on Josh's pretty face, as Shane worked his magic.

Having read his thread Declyn you saw how confident he was in eschewing many if not all of his prescribed medications in favor of self-medicating with pot. He thought he had found the right balance to keep his symptoms under control. But then we also saw where whenever he added alcohol to the mix, the results were not good. So he alluded to instances where he had acted out inappropriately in certain social situations. Of course as much as he regretted and apologized it later, it really was a very common symptom of his condition that he didn't have much control over. We'll never know if subtracting pot from the equation would have made a difference at the end or not. If I recall correctly from reading his obituary, his family asked that donations and prayers go to organizations offering help and support for teenage bipolar disorder. His family...bless their hearts, didn't have it easy either while he was alive.

 

[Declyn]

His family...bless their hearts, didn't have it easy either while he was alive.

I have/had two close family members and a good friend who is/were bipolar. Only one of the three (my only sibling) is still alive. There are more treatment options than ever nowadays so I keep up on all the info but it's still a very, very, very hard thing to stabilize. And the drugs have so many unpleasant side effects that it's also very common for the sufferers to think, after a few years of being "normal" on them, that they've got the thing beat and don't need the drugs any longer.

I've been a member of Broke Straight Boys for a few months now and I didn't get the chance to read old threads. I didn't even know Mike posted on here. It's so sad to know that he passed away. I've only seen a couple of his scenes (through Diesal I didn't know he had his own section because his name wasn't listed).
Your post about the guys and Mike was very interesting and helpful. I will go back "in time" and check his posts because even if it's sad, from what Mikey, Tampa, you and even others have said, it's worth it.
Just like Mikey, I'd like to thank you for your post and the infos you provided us with.

I also loved Porn Shane and Diesal and I wish they would have stayed on Broke Straight Boys I still have many many many scenes to watch from the archives.
