What disappointed me most about this scene wasn't so much the concept but the scene literally being filmed the same way it was when the site started way back. If you watch this and the an early one they are literally the same. Now when Broke Straight Boys was first filmed it would I have no doubt have been considered inventive and a welcome to the porn industry. For me, this format in 2020 looks tired and uninspiring. The chat was inane and went on for over five minutes. The models I am not convinced are straight particularly Moreno . There didn't seem the reluctance I would have expected from "straight' guys to get their kit off. Also a really big no no for me is using mobile phones in a scene, Skyler really looked bored with the whole thing when being jerked off by Moreno.
I appreciate that you and others that have been around since the beginning would enjoy this nostalgic scene, but the ratings do not reflect that this is what everyone wants to see. You're right, Management are not going to be able to please everyone but consideration needs to be given to a fine balance of the concept of Broke Straight Boys and the evolving needs of the membership and what they expect from scenes filmed today. Going back to a format that worked when the site first started is probably not the answer. As with any concept it should be allowed to grow and develop in the ever changing and competitive world of the porn industry.
Sorry to say that this scene was seriously boring and uninteresting. I was happy when the futon retired, but thought it would be fun to see it one more time for nostalgia. But if this is the new direction without much difference from from Broke Straight Boys 1.0, those members that joined Broke Straight Boys 2.0 And after will be left hanging. I would love to see some Broke Straight Boys 1.0 models Mixed with new models but I think that’s the limit of my interest. I hope management is working on a 4.0 version before We make a decision on leaving. :-(
I can see what you guys are saying. For newer members starting from over 5 years ago to the present especially, this kind of throwback to the Broke Straight Boys-1 era will not be entirely welcome by all. I'm sure that David and the rest of the production team will be trying to thread that needle of injecting some new life and new ideas into the production aspect without losing the interest of one segment or another of the audience. While I really enjoyed the old format of the mid to late 0's, even I agree that viewers' tastes and expectations are a little more jaded and sophisticated over 10 years later.
These are not normal times of course with Covid delaying production and threatening the safety of the models and staff. If we are to get only one new scene per week for a while it will be tough if the scenes are not a little more hardcore than some of the classic Broke Straight Boys-1 scenes. I'm pleased that we are being assured up front that we won't be enduring a week's wait just to see solos. So yes, I agree with those of you who feel that a return to scenes that look exactly like those from 2006-20010 or so will not necessarily go over as well in 2020. So how to find that happy medium where some of the models are much straighter than we have had lately, yet who are still willing (and able) to go for some of the more hardcore aspects of gay sex? That's a pretty tall order. It took a stable of mostly all gay Broke Straight Boys models to get us a lineup who could eagerly sit on a dick or suck one like a lollipop all within their first 3 scenes.
Some of the straighter models of the past who I've really liked based on both their personalities and looks, I've been more patient with in their slower progressions. Other models who I didn't take an immediate liking to, or felt they had less natural talent for the industry, I felt far less patience with them when the directors coddled them or gave them really long progressions. But when you do go with straighter models it does require some patience as they get their footing. So I'm both nervous and hopeful that David and Mark's team will find a balance which will keep most of us happy most of the time.
