I found this to be very interesting to hear the view point from a model.
This is an interesting video, I wonder what dark things have happened to him as he has only worked for a handful of studios?? I agree that Onlyfans has changed the porn business, and Richie said he was done done making studios money, but the models are giving 20% to Onlyfans as a cut. When will they get greedy and up that cut?? Personally there are very very few OF models that I would pay a subscription for. Give me some professionally done porn thanks. I want to be able to see the guys and not have it be shot from a dark room and a shaky camera (I get motion sick even with movies and fast moving action scenes) LOL. As far as the fake cum, well I can understand the use behind it but hopefully it is a last resort.
It was good to hear some feedback on how difficult filming a scene can be for the models and how sometimes the models may not get along but still have to do a scene. I remember a time there was a fight on I think it was Fratx when a model got too rough. I wonder if that is a common occurrence that ends up on the editing room floor at certain sites....
Oh, and Richie looks absolutely handsome, I have been a fan since his first scene here! I too would be interested to hear how management feels about this video.
Wow, what a way to put the nail in the coffin. Richie looks great and I do appreciate his willingness to share his experiences. BUT, that last part about not allowing these studios to make more money off of him? And throwing Broke Straight Boys under the bus by saying sometimes the cum shots are faked? Yikes!
I do like Richie West but Broke Straight Boys has always showed him favoritism and been so very good to him, so it was disappointing to hear him say that he wasn’t going to let these studios make more money off of him. To my knowledge he only worked for blu-media (Broke Straight Boys, College Dudes, & Boy Gusher) and Helix.
As far as Only Fans, yes it has hurt the adult industry, but honestly 80% of the bullshit on onlyfans is not worth the money. Most of these guys have to run specials and give out freebies, because people join and turn around and quit because the content is shit and the creators are lazy. I’m not talking about Richie West because I don’t subscribe to his only fans, but there are other models out there robbing people lol.
Anyway, I wish Richie the best, always, and thanks for sharing, David. Actually, I’d be interested to know if anyone in management was surprised as I was.
I thought it was an interesting video and despite the tenor of posts so far his comments were overwhelmingly positive about Broke Straight Boys, and he expressed gratitude for them several times. I'm not sure he meant the phrase about studios making money out of him to be meant as them exploiting him - the studios make money out of good looking popular models and well produced porn. That's a fact, surely!
The comments about OnlyFans need to be seen in the context that that is now how Richie is making money. If you look back through the various YouTube videos he is made, clearly a large part of them is about promoting his personal business interests. Again, that's not meant as a criticism, why shouldn't he promote his interests? I'm still interested in seeing well produced, well filmed, well lit porn, and find it hard to believe most people now prefer poorly lit production from one camera angle. But if you do like that and see that as somehow more real, good for you.
It was interesting the way he talked about the other models. The guy he praised at some length as having a connection with was clearly Benjamin Dover who seems to have got on really well with the other models. I miss him at Broke Straight Boys and would love to know how marriage and parenthood is going for him.
one thing I really like about Broke Straight Boys is how they let us know something about the personalities of the models. Richie is also opening this door a little and I really like that, so I hope we can appreciate that. You don't have to agree with every word he said to appreciate the honesty. He says he plans to say more and it will be interesting to see what he adds. Sounds like his comments about Helix won't be as generous.
Good post, though I think that Richie was throwing more Helix under the bus than Broke Straight Boys Other than being suddenly paired with an unattractive scene partner with no advance notice (although when you are living with four other dudes for a week, you might suspect that you will wind up being filmed with most if not all of them). Richie had a lot of good things to say about Broke Straight Boys Mikeyank would be gratified to hear that most of the models who claim to be straight are actually straight. Richie seemed to get along more with the straight models than the gay ones. He was particularly attracted to two models from his highest rated Broke Straight Boys scenes: the one from a similar small town background I'm guessing is Sky Clesi who creampied Richie in an epic Broke Straight Boys scene. The other of his highest rated scenes was with a straight married dude with a child with whom off camera Richie slept with and gave massages to. Have to go the archives and do some research!
By the way I passed this on to another top gay site to see their reaction. Being Sunday I may have to wait til tomorrow for their reaction. As to Helix a once top gay site , the one plus is they are now in the hands of former gay models from that site.
Y’all, I’m a totally PC person. I pick on every little thing. Don’t mind me. I have always liked Richie West and have always cheered him on and most of you know that. I found this video to be 90% positive…lol. I know a lot of things said are just coming from a very young guy who doesn’t mean any ill harm, but truth is, they can still come out a certain way. Lol. So don’t think that I’m shitting on Richie. And as far as saying he probably meant Helix, that may be true, but he also didn’t bother to clarify that he didn’t mean Broke Straight Boys which is the site Richie is mostly known for.
I’m just glad I’m not one of those former models that he’s worked with. I’d be self conscious that I was ugly, mean , or stinky.
(Sarcasm, it’s a joke)
I miss REPAREUR on these conversations.
As do I. I received a PM from him a few months ago. He is very busy on some of his business interests but is doing well in his always active personal life.
