Hi Bob,
You and I do go back a long way on this forum and it is always fine to disagree and discuss anything here, as we all see things through our own spectrum, but I do have several points to make in regard to your statement.
1) We don't need Lovelumps to agree that
Diesal bottomed for Jimmy Slater, (later renamed to
Jimmy Guy). It's all in our archives for anyone to check, but that does not mean that ALL models have to bottom..
2) Mark told us right on this thread "It all takes time and we never force a model to do anything. So the models comfort level is what determines what happens.
Jimmy Johnson never bottomed on
Broke Straight Boys, never did bareback and never kissed any guy and he had plenty of scenes."
3) As SFPS01 also said earlier in this thread as well regarding Ethan, "He may have signed on for gay for pay but unless his "contract" said you will be required to take it in the ass, there should be no expectation of same."
So yes, every employee/employee situation is different. But as you quoted me as saying, " Ethan also said that he wasn't going to be sucking cock and that he was going to be the one fucking his partner's "balls deep", so I really don"t think he was implying that he intended for us to see his virgin ass fucked here." And Sha was right there with him asking the questions and Sha laughed, but never said, that he had to suck dick or had to bottom. If that was required, Sha would have told him right then and cancelled any further shoots as he was defiant in doing what was required of him at the job. But he went ahead with the shoots and counting the upcoming scene with Tanner, it will be Ethan's sixth partnered scene exclusively topping.
I understand that many or most fans of this site do want to see every straight boy at least try to bottom, but Mark told us that no boy is forced to do anything and Sha who films the scenes did not tell Ethan that it was required, and some of us like the image of a straight guy only topping, so I stand by my statement that it is between management, (Mark & Sha) and the model as to what is required for them to do, and as long as they continue to pay the model and invite him back to do more scenes, then the model is fulfilling the "implicit agreement".
I know that I am taking this a bit seriously when it is "only porn", but I enjoy the models and scenes that fulfill my fantasy while Rep, KG and others, apparently including yourself Bob, want to see their fantasies fulfilled with the straighter boys. That's why I try to never say what
"should" be done, only what I
would like to see done.
