I do not like the leather couch. The guys get too sweaty, stick to it and you cannot film from all angles. College Dudes has a leather couch they are using right now...yuck. A bedroom scene is fine, but add natural light.

The set is not a hit with many forum members - boo! hoo! A minority of a minority. Yeah, Mark, some time you try something and people don't like it. No big deal. It reminds me of what happens when a bunch of gay guys design and put together what they think a straight guy's man cave might look like. OR if you got input from the models, then it is the result of a bunch of models who have questionable taste. No big deal. If the sex is hot, then my eyes are on it and not the hideous plastic female form on the wall. or the fake beer glasses from Spencer's gifts on the end table. I'm surprised that there is not a big splotch of fake barf somewhere on the floor to show that there has been some partying going on.
Some people complained about the old set - not I, I love the Flat Iron Bldg - and so you built a new one and some people don't like it. You know the axiom about pleasing people. Just give us hot models and hot sex and nothing else matters. And in that regards, your new recruiters are doing much better - some hot guys recently!

I agree with Peter. It doesn't matter the set looks like its what happens in the scene. To be truthful I din't even notice it.
We worked so hard on this and it is very disappointing to hear that you guys don't like it. We were trying to make it look straight and curtains and stuff like that just doesn't work. Everyone loved it here so I am a bit shocked to hear you guys don't like it.
Mark:
Here are my two cents.
The set looks to "Hollywood" or as some would say "Hollyweird". It doesn't seem natural. It is too busy and does not look like anything actual "Broke Straight Boys"would be hanging out in.
It looks like a friend of mine parents "playroom" that they set up for him and his friends when we all were tweens and teenagers. They actually paid a designer to come in decorate a room for their son and his friends ( I was one of them) in their basement so that the son would be hanging out at home rather than roaming the streets. The spent $20,000 on the room, it had a pool table, foosball, pinball machines, non-alcoholic bar, couches , everything that they thought would make us kids happy. It was a really nice room but we were not happy there for 2 reasons: 1) we didn't feel comfortable because we may mess it up or break something and 2) his parents were always upstairs, we felt they were listening in. We did hang out there once in a while after school but as soon as the parents got home from work we would all leave and go to other hangouts.
My suggestions would be to tone it down a little, there is way to much distraction while watching a scene. I try to focus on the models but my eyes are drawn to other things in the room ( the oooh something shiny effect). Way too much going on other than what should be going on. An loose the fake beer! Some member don't seem to understand that it is fake.
That is my two cents!

I agree with lpdude, and as I said if you spent the money on the fake walls and astroturf on the ground keep that with the bed, but dump the signs and scoreboard and fire extinguishers and the old pay phone and the fake beer are truly distractions.My suggestions would be to tone it down a little, there is way to much distraction while watching a scene.

And as Stripe said on the current solo scene thread, the set should be a blank canvas for the models to perform on. Hot guys on a bed having hot sex should be the focus, not the silly props all around them.

Exactly! A beautiful guy like Adam on a bed or couch is all that is necessary to make this member, and "this member's member" happy too!

Jon - LOL about the "futon days" ~ David was a warm, fantastic, and hilarious interviewer, and I loved all that ;-)
As far as the JASON THEME: I'm shocked, Jon, that you know me so little, after all these years. . . Jason is my most-beloved model of all time; I will always speak of him, as the thought occurs to me; I expect no "result", because I have learned that, when I wish for a thing, it hardly ever comes true. . . .
BUT - I am always going to laud and miss Jason as Broke Straight Boys's greatest performer, character, and poster, on this board, until I DIE, or am BANNED. I'd rather see one still photo of Jason Matthews (clothed) having a cup of tea, than view every single Lukas Ridgeston f***, back to back, seated in a velvet chaise, whilst sipping Veuve Clicquot.
No, no, no - you don't get it, Jon, do you? I don't expect results - because results are never forthcoming, unless you own your own company, and have the cash to back it up. I simply HONOUR MEMORY. If someone in the management has an epiphany, one day, and sees it my way - - - so much the better ;-) But, if they don't - I don't give a flying f***: I'll say what I think and feel, till they will countenance it, no longer ;-)

I am with u Ambi, as short my life is within Broke Straight Boys Jason Matthews is the pillar mark I would use to observe any other model I have and yet to see. I am just sadden that I was not around when he first started, however I have the archives to continually watch (and yes Jason is one model I can watch the same over and over again)

Jason Matthews is the greatest model I have seen on this, or any other site, since the Internet first was born. I commend your taste!

The set is the backdrop to the scene and the boys are the stars. I think what's happening is the set gets too much attention for too many reasons and it's distracting and quite frankly makes the scene look cheap. Get rid of 75% of the props and go to more neutral colors. The key is to make the boys stand out and not compete with the background. Also look at what makes skin tones pop and use those colors, not brick, brown and red.
Wow!
All of us closeted interior designers have sure got a lot to say about the new set.
I agree the focus is should be on the models.
Kudos to the producers for bringing in the new set but it is way too much.
I, for one, am not tropophobic. I do enjoy and embrace change but the new set was too drastic for some of us long time viewers.

Ah yes, the simpler sets from days of yore.
