Recruitment of models

Patience is definitely a virtue when it comes to this. I would say that 20% of brand new guys back out or don't show up. My usual MO is to have a guy in for a solo, and then talk him into doing more for extra cash. It usually works. We have some amazing guys who have been on recently and will be on soon who were ONLY down for a JO, and after certain powers of persuasion and lots of cash in their face, were willing to do more. After that first time with another guy it makes it a lot easier to talk guys into other stuff for money.

Your patience seems to have paid off then Clay. As a returning member the first thing I noticed about the new Broke Straight Boys was that there was no money talk during the interview. This was refreshing because it just brought confusion within the forum on who gets paid for what etc etc. Albeit that maybe you could ask a few more questions during the initial solo interview, I am very happy with the new content and of course the models.

Tampa - Funny thing, I've never thought of Broke Straight Boys as a fetish site which I suppose it really is. This is probably because of all the added sites that you get within the Broke Straight Boys package, which is still the best on the net.

Thanks Clay, for a bit more of the inside info of what goes on behind the scenes, in creating your scenes. The 20% "no show" rate makes a bit more sense to me than the 50% that Blake mentioned.

However, I think that the site would be so much more enjoyable for me, if we the viewer got to see some of the persuasion, or at least a re-enactment of your negotiations on screen trying to convince the "straighties" to go further for more cash.

When BSB2 debuted fourteen months ago, Mark promised us more real straight guys, but the critics on the forum were turned off by the blatant "throwing money" at models, but in my opinion the pendulum has swung too far the other way. A big turn on for me is to watch the models have to decide how far they will go for more compensation.

When a scene begins when you ask a model who is back for his third or forth time on set, "What are you going to do today for us, "Fill in the blank", and he says, "I'm going to suck his cock and then he is going to fuck me", I feel like I missed out the persuasion, and his decision to do all of what was said.

While I also believed that David's on screen negations were phony, as were your's in the early days with the tossing of money and making them say demeaning things, ("I will do anything for money"), while in reality they knew exactly what they were going to do, and how much they were going to be paid, before the cameras were ever turned on. But if you could even talk with them on camera about how they felt after their solo, or after a guy sucked them for the first time, we could more clearly see that they are truly straight guys here for money, and not just bi or gay guys who are eager to get fucked.

I would love to see a happy medium between over the top phony negotiations and a guy just reciting what was discussed off camera. I totally agree with Tampa that this is a fetish site, and that would help separate it from all the other sites where the models are ready and eager to "do it all" when the lights go on.

Thank God you guys didnt take my rant in anyway bad.. im actually quite revealed. I half expected to get a call from mark or clay saying that i should say things like that. but if i could have the power to influence one mind on this site to view our job a bit more with incite on how we do it,(huge run on sentence.. lol) then my goal was fulfilled.

Btw, thats a topic someone should open.

"People you have influenced to change their life for the better."

Think of a better title, start a thread, and i would love to share some stories, and damn do i have some messed up stories.

Hey Blake. Why don't you start a thread called Blakes stories under the General section, where most of the members' stories are. They are much easier to track "over there" Like your films and your posts by the way. x

That's a great idea for a thread Blake. I hope you'll start it if you have so many experiences along those lines. I'd love to hear those kinds of stories from the members.

Well... Yes and no, Mikey. Blake's personal experience has been much closer to a 50% no show rate than Clay is saying is the general norm. Blake says he should have 10 scenes in the can by now. But because models flaked out and didn't show up, he has missed out on shooting 4 scenes. He has 5 that have been released. One of those being his solo. So out of scenes requiring a second model... 4 have been released and 4 were never consummated. haha Which sounds like 50% to me. Although of course the math tells us that he has one more scene in the can to look forward to. With hopefully more to follow in the future.

So from where Blake is standing, the "no show" rate is much higher than 20% and much closer to 50.

I saw nothing in your post to be worried about Blake. You didn't give up any trade secrets. If anything you helped to show how hard of a job it is to deliver the quality of entertainment that they do here. You did them a favor! haha If Clay or someone else in mgmt had said those things it might have come across as whiny and unprofessional. Or just looking for a pat on the back. From you or other models though it comes across much more as a form of high praise. The idea that the polished finished product they deliver here requires a brutal work schedule and lots of frustration is something the fans in the forum especially should be aware of.

I'll give a for instance for that... I myself have been quick to say when I think that a certain pairing of models in a scene was just not a good fit at all. From now on I will have to take into consideration that maybe Clay did not intend for those models to be in a scene together anyway. But on a tight schedule and with models flaking out all the time...you can only work with what you've got. Maybe a scene has Clay's second or third choice for a pairing of certain models rather than what he would have really preferred in the first place. So while I may still say in the future if I think certain models are mismatched...I will have to temper that critique with the knowledge that Clay may or may not have even had a choice on that given day.

So again Blake, you had nothing to worry about here. If anyone in mgmt does contact you privately in regards to your post, it should be to thank you.

aw thanks..

I didnt start the thread because i didnt think of a good enough title that would fit inside it. lol and im a bit hesitant because all my stories have to do with convening someone to not end their life.

Why the anomaly?

It usually works... says Clay. But why then, why not with Blake? Blake Bennet experiences a drop out rate of 50%! Far above average. Why do models ignore Blake with a tenacity that surprises us, his fans? Is his beard to prickly? Have they seen the video 'Blake fucking Anthony'...!
