After reading many of the posts on this thread, it reminded me of some of the insight about porn, porn sites, perception and so forth I was able to gain from when I first joined the forum. The
Broke Straight Boys-TV show also gave a different behind the scenes look into the possible dynamics and personal interactions of models working within a close nit studio, family setting. While the controversies and drama seem more REAL because, we tend to get an up close and personal look of models who are working within the
Broke Straight Boys setting, I am not completely certain that these things are just unique to
Broke Straight Boys These same or similar issues are possible within any studio that groups many young, vulnerable, unsettled aspiring young men, models from various back grounds and personal issues all vying to make it in the porn business. Discussions on the forum were instrumental (at one time) for me to start to understand this.
As far as the controversial character and former director of scenes Clay. Again, familiar to us because we've been able to incorporate his persona as part of the experience of watching scenes directed by him and hearing his voice through out the introduction of models and ultimately the
Broke Straight Boys-TV show.
As far as the site Clay spun off on, employing various models he had worked with at the
Broke Straight Boys studios and the very nature of his site and it's premise I have to say a few things. First of all, I agree that many to include myself would find looking at his "man parts" and the abusive nature of the scenes to be a big turn off! The fact that some of the models he used were ones that we became familiar with and in some cases "adored" is understandably heart breaking as well. Be that as it may, first of all, his site is NOT
Broke Straight Boys It is not something one has to subject themselves to unless they choose to. There are many porn sites that cater to the "Daddy image" of young guys being sexed up by older men. Some may find that to be a "fetish". Second of all, I try to keep in perspective that when it comes to porn, models choose to work, or get paid for doing scenes. This is what they do. I've seen some of the most unlikely models, having done work for much bigger studios, doing scenes on this site and other such sites, even after appearing to be having a very successful run in the porn industry.
So, while the forum has been a great place to discuss the scenes currently featured and scenes past, I learned through the forum how to take some of the insights I've gained and do some internet research of my own. Not to find Dirt necessarily but, to gain a better understanding of how things may work. Remember, what you see on the internet isn't always the TRUTH and sometimes, you have to just sort through what you find.
This is how I've integrated my use of the forum for a better understanding of things I see in porn, and I'm able to enjoy porn.....differently.
