Repost from another thread, Members Favorite Music

[louis33705]

I posted this on the "Members Favorite Music Thread" but wanted to share this more openly. I dedicate it to our Boys on Broke Straight Boys as I think the world of them.

"This is one of my favorite songs by Tina Turner. It is a beautiful song, although sad. It can apply to so many such as those that stay in a relationship, a porn star, prostitute, hustler, etc. that do it only for the money. As a youth, I spent many years selling my own body for sex just for the money. It was a very lonely and dark period of my life. If I could go back to that time, would I do it again? Yes, I would! There was a certain mystique in it all, yet it was also a time I had total control of my life and who I was. That period shaped me into the man I am today. I look at our Broke Straight Boys models and can internally feel what is going through their minds and emotions to venture into a world of what so many refer to it as a life of perversion. I praise our models for the balls they have to entertain us. They are all my heroes!"

I see you too are concerned about getting a "citation" from the forum police Louis, but I made my comment on the original posting that I agree with your statement fully.

Thank you, Mike. You told me recently to post and post away and I am doing that to my heart's content. I can to relate to Paul's sensitivity of how people feel about him, but I also relate very much and more so to Tyler's fuck off attitude.

Peace,
Louis

I responded already with a song on the other thread. Here, I will just say that "whatever gets you through the night, is alright."

Louis; I've often said, the forum means different things to different people. While most of us come to enjoy the porn, there are some who also come to criticize everything; the set up, the filming, the directing, and even, the small penises or acne or long or dirty fingernails! You enjoy the porn and the models who entertain us in the porn. I like that you can relate to the models on the human level. Something some posters seem to loose as they get caught up in other things! I appreciate you sharing your song and message. It helps now and then to remember what some of us take for granted and that's life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...and the struggles it takes to have that sometimes!

Thank you Betu. Yes, I do understand and relate to some of the model's decisions to get involved in the porn industry. Some of their plight for survival is no different than what I went through when I was their age. The difference is that what they are doing is legal and what I did was not, but both done for the same reasons, money.

I did originally post this in Jon's Member's Favorite Music thread. However, that thread is geared more for posting videos and not discussions. I decided to re-post it here to open it up for discussion about our models.

Peace,
Louis

I just watched the video again Louis, and it is a great song by a great artist, and I re-read your post too, and I appreciate your perspective as someone who has been on both sides of the "adult entertainment" industry. It reminds me that one of my oldest and dearest friends worked both through an agency and walked the streets of 53rd Street between Second and Third Avenues in Manhattan back in the 1970's. He was young and beautiful and while no one else in his life today is aware of his "part time job", when he was in his early twenties, it is a part of his life that helped form him into the man he is today.

Thanks again for sharing both the song and your life's experience with us. It is indeed very much apropos for the Broke Straight Boys forum.

I too just listened to the song and payed attention to the lyrics. In in Tina sings, "I want a husband and some children..." and it took me back to the scene where Ayden showed us the tattoo of his son's name.

The message here is that "One does what One has to do!" I pictured his family happily going about their business while Daddy was at work and waiting for him to come home. Ayden comes home, picks up James and hugs his wife. She asks him how work went. He says that it was OK. The same old stuff. Sometimes it's hard and sometimes not so bad, but I'm home now. What's for supper?

I do let my imagination flow, but I like to feel as if I am really there witnessing what our models witness. I think that is why I enjoyed Paul's visit to his home more than any other BTS on this site.

Here is another example of one of my heroes. This is Gert von Hoef, age 20, from the Netherlands. He is an accomplished organist at his young age. He started playing when he was 13 years old. He is now enrolled in a music conservatory but he is paying his way through college by playing for various churches as he is asked to do. Between his schooling and his commitments he has no private life. On the weekend, he cannot be out with friends because he has to go to bed in time to be able to be up early the next morning to perform. This is one of his performances at a local church.

Enjoy!
