Tampa, Tanner seems to just be getting better with age. I’m not sure he was ever really doing it for the money. I’m not sure why he did porn but it seems he only did
Broke Straight Boys Maybe he will honor us with a return visit like Bobby did. I think some of the guys like Bobby probably just had fun doing it and maybe there was something they liked about pushing boundaries and I’m sure the good ones like Tanner must have a healthy dose of exhibitionism.
Hey Rep!
Great post. I agree.
Indeed. Tanner is at that age where he just keeps getting more handsome as he develops farther into early adulthood. I totally agree with you that Tanner never did do the porn for the traditional reasons (here on
Broke Straight Boys at least) of being flat broke, sometimes literally hungry, and in real need of cash. I'm sure the money from porn came in handy for him. But I don't think he truly needed it. From all the pictures I've seen of him in his real life, he certainly gives off the vibe of living comfortably and coming from a family that is probably upper middle class, if not on at least the lower rung of what we would we consider upper class.
That certainly doesn't fit the typical
Broke Straight Boys mold. Tanner was here for his own unique set of reasons. Which also leads many of us to speculate on what those reasons might have been. haha It's possible he wanted the extra money just to improve his already comfortable lifestyle a little bit more. With a better car or a nicer apartment or place to live, etc. But again, like Rep, I sense that it never really was about the money. It could also be something more along the lines of just wanting to do something exciting, controversial and pushing the envelope for this era of our societal developement, that would make his life interesting and unusual to look back upon. When he's an old man doing the rocking chair test and reminiscing on his life in his later years, I think he'll look back on this period with a mischievous and satisfied smile. haha
Tanner might have just wanted to explore his sexuality in a unique way by doing porn. Because of the disease testing always done beforehand, it can actually be safer to do more freaky things sexually on a porn set than you might dare risk doing with random strangers out in the real world. Like Rep says, it's quite likely he has a really big exhibitionist streak for which a stint in porn helps to satisfy that itch. lol We'll probably never know his true motivations for doing porn. Certainly not
all of them. haha How do you get into somebody else's head? But still, it is fun to wonder and speculate.
