Robert, you wonderful person how could anyone see that and not smile and laugh. That was just to great.

 

[rrhill]

If anybody here is the newbie it's me. And I have been reading a lot of the comments you're making. It's a close bunch here and that kept me talking from you too Miss Deidra. Too afraid for getting the: "and who are you to say that?" remark.

And I really do like to know how you all got here, and which video's you like best. It's not my fault that I was born nosy.

Robert, you wonderful person how could anyone see that and not smile and laugh. That was just to great.

I agree Denny! It was nice to see a positive thread on the forum. I won't say that any of the negative posts were incorrect..........just that there has been a lot of them, and trying to get some fun, back into the forum should be applauded.

Robert you are wonderful.

Robert you are wonderful.

As are you Ms K, I was very proud to be listed as one of your forum friends and you better stick around girl.

I figure Robert is so appealing because he hails from Amsterdam, and has the civility and class of the typical European I am so familiar with (haha, that includes you too Slimmie, even you are by location a transformed Ameropean!) Yes, Robert is wonderful...and I like his realistic avatar--looks good, but I venture to guess he looks even better in person

Thanks for the compliments

But let's talk about you, what brought you here to Broke Straight Boys? Will you share you're favourites video's with us...

What I like about Broke Straight Boys

I POSITIVELY LOVED THE OLD MODELS OF THE ORIGINAL Broke Straight Boys I guess it is like going to KFC, some like the "crispy" (version 2), and some like the old "original" style. I would never ever have "Crispy" cross my lips, only the original is good enough for my tastes. Because there is little or no comparison between the two (No Positive Comparision that is), us old-timers must be relegated to Jeremy Hall for intense physical therapy, like being sent to "detention hall" in high school as delinquents needing to be reprogrammed.

Sure wished I was still back in high school, however. Those were definitely the good old days! Now I feel like a 2nd class Broke Straight Boys member in an alien land these days, without my Green Card!

Thanks for this thread. I too like a lot of things about Broke Straight Boys I love some of the old models myself. I think Logan was one of my favorites. Our models come from the exact same place they always have and we will get those models you will love. I also use recruits so we have even more models available to us. We are also making changes that you guys suggested so hang in there.

Sounds great, Mark. Hopefully this way they'll become more unscripted and less pre-planned (thus mechanical), not showing they just memorized their lines verbatim 5 minutes before the cameras started rolling.

I think that's the biggest change that needs to be made. Personally I think most of the guys are hot, and technically the scenes are pretty good (the lighting and sound are great, and for the most part so isn't the camera work most of the time). Not saying the scenes shouldn't have some sort of plan before the filming starts, but probably less acting and script recitation would be good though.

On the completely positive side, what I love the most about Broke Straight Boys is that since the beginning, I had never seen most of these guys before until seeing them for the first time on Broke Straight Boys or College Boy Physicals. So many other sites out there recycle models like Zephyrhills recycles water bottles. But Broke Straight Boys gives us fresh new guys who haven't already worked for 20 other studios before them. And once the guys started getting overexposed, they made their exit from Broke Straight Boys Many of the guys who are still in porn can say they got their start at Broke Straight Boys and/or College Boy Physicals.

I think that is an incredible feat, and their roughness and unprofessionalism shined through. In a good way!

I originally joined Broke Straight Boys because of College Boy Physicals, and Broke Straight Boys was one of the free bonus sites. But as I became a "seasoned" member over the years -- and cancelled many recurring memberships at other paysites -- I remained a loyal Broke Straight Boys member through the years nearly continuously. The forum, the updates, the bonus sites, and most importantly the online friendships I have cultivated through you all here have been a very positive and memorable experience.

Thank you Mark for giving us Broke Straight Boys dot com, you really created something that many members have enjoyed over the years and I trust will continue to do so. As Broke Straight Boys makes the transition from one season into the next, sometimes the boards creak and the shutters rattle...but when it's all done and said it'll be nice once the windows can be opened and let some fresh air and sunshine in again.

This thread welcomes positive minds only! Share your fresh ideas, bring joy, humour and fun. All those ingredients that make Broke Straight Boys such a great site and guarantee a successful outcome for every situation in life.

Those that likes to whine and bash: why not start your own thread?

OMG thank you for making a thread that isn't about constant complaining.. it was greatly needed.

 

[nurse87]

It's nice to have a thread aimed at positive things. I found Broke Straight Boys through College Boy Physicals, which I found through xtube. One of the first videos I watched was Diesal (can't remember what one) and I was pretty much hooked. I like when a hot, straight guy enjoys what he's doing. I also like some conversation (not too much) at the beginning of the video, it makes the guys more familiar.

 

[Smiley]

I know I'm not alone in this but I love Alden and Robert.

That series is undoubtably my favorite series on this site. Every single one of those videos is hot, including Alden's solo with Robert walking off the set. Alden is a great kid, strong of will and yet soft enough to be very concerned over Robert's well being. Robert is a puppy dog. I just want to scratch and hold him. I love and identify with both of them.

If anybody remembers my thread regarding my story, Messing Around With Mike, Alden and Mike could be the same guy except Alden has even better hair than Mike, and Mike had great hair.

Hey clay

OK, so far the new Broke Straight Boys shows signs of The Butterfly Effect. If you don't remember what that was I'll google it and add a link before this is posted. Essentially the new Broke Straight Boys looks like a very slightly weird copy of the original, the same site but somehow contaminated by a different vibe. The futon is metal, like the other one, but a different brand, the sheet is more baroque, with drapery, rather than tucked in tight or shaped to fit, the print on the wall is the same, trees and/or leaves, but not the same print. The boys could be the cousins of some of the BSBs from the original version, but they also have been through this slightly weird nano-metamorphosis, so that their discourse and their physical expression follow a different rhythm. To me the biggest change is Clay. Obviously. Clay and David are almost from different planets. David is jolly, a sort of mother dog with a bunch of slightly tiresome pups at her tits, who keeps smiling through the tedium. Clay, if he posts on here, is going to turn out to be urbane and maybe droll, a bit dry and sly.

He's what I like best about the new Broke Straight Boys, which is a huge compliment to the whole make-over in general.

If you don't like Clay, the central, ongoing cast member, you're not gonna like the rest of the schtik. I've thought from the very first episode that this "copy" by Mark of his own original site is going to be fascinating to watch evolve. I'm not even a tiny bit disappointed. I'm loving watching the re-branding of something I loved before. In Spain there are problems, ever since HD, of another sort, technical hitches that prevent our seeing the videos as they were meant to be seen. So jacking off to them is a sort of thankless, enthusiasm-free undertaking. So I'm liking watching this new vision of an old site evolve. Strange, sometimes uncomfortable, but terrifically promising.

So what do I like best? Clay.

It's so easy

Hey Slim,

For those that still don't understand it I've added a picture, from your link, that explains the butterfly effect in a basic diagram.

A picture paints a thousand words!

 

[Smiley]

The Butterfly Effect came out of an absolutely wonderful Ray Bradbury short story, A Sound Of Thunder, which was turned into a awful, predictable, happy ending Hollywood movie. You should read the story if you haven't. As he was one of Los Angeles' most wonderful eccentrics, I grew up on Bradbury.

Here is the original short story.

I'm going to sleep on your premise, Slim. I'm not sure I agree. My biggest problem may be we are dealing with too few data points. We have only seen a few videos, most of them months old. I'd like to see where Clay goes from his initial, "Oops, this didn't work," videos. Growth and change means everything to me. I'll forgive anybody a stupid first move, and even a stupider second one, if they figure it out by the fifth iteration. I don't have those results yet for Clay.

But your broader point, that we are tied into the success or failure of Clay, yes, you are right on the money. I really hopes he succeeds.

 

[slimvintage]

I think the concept, a clever illustrative wink from physicists interested in so called chaos theory, was later picked up by Bradbury and popularized. And then turned into pabulum by Hollywood and the shapely if talent-free Ashton Kutcher.


"The term 'butterfly effect' itself is related to the work of Edward Lorenz, and it is based in chaos theory and sensitive dependence on initial conditions, already described in the literature in a particular case of the three-body problem by Henri Poincaré in 1890." From the Wiki article above.

Good Easter morning Slim,

You are right, not just Erik and Clay make Broke Straight Boys to what it is; we all contribute here.

Some will go to a bar and expect a great atmosphere, others will enter and bring the great atmosphere themselves. It's as much up to us, as to them.

Greetings,
just another butterfly

PS: If M is the state space for the map ft, then ft displays sensitive dependence to initial conditions if for any x in M and any δ>0, there are y in M, with 0 < d(x,y) < δ such that d(fτ(x),fτ(y)) > exp(aτ)d(x,y).

 

[Smiley]

I'd forgotten about the Ashton Kutcher movie, Slim, maybe because it was utterly forgetable. If I wanted to watch one of his movies from this era, and really, why would I, I'd pick, Dude, Where's My Car? At least that was funny in a particularly stupid way, and Kutcher did have his shirt off in that flick.

The Sound Of Thunder was a worse movie than The Butterfly Effect. Avoid at all costs.

What I Like About Broke Straight Boys - discussions of Ray Bradbury and chaos theory.

And I still think I'm right from something stuck in the deep, unmined recesses of my brain, that Bradbury was the first to make that premise. He was the first to kill a butterfly and change history. But in any case, it was an idea whose time had come, and certainly had many fans.

What value are you actually giving y in the equation?

Clay is Matthew, but who is Erik? Do you mean Erik Bod?

A very good Easter evening to you Robert and a huge hug.

 

[slimvintage]

Smiley, You're right that Ray Bradbury used the phrase and the general concept in his memorable short story about a clumsy time tourist who traveled back to the Pleistocene (I think it was) and inadvertently, and in every way against the rules, killed a butterfly before coming back to the present, where he found a world that was just a smidgen "off", warped slightly by the change in "initial conditions" wrought by his klutziness. But the concept of the "butterfly effect", where just the flapping of a butterfly's wings, or the not-flapping of them, can make huge changes down the line, such as producing a domino effect hurricane, predated Ray by a good few years.

This is from Wiki:

Edward Norton Lorenz (May 23, 1917 - April 16, 2008) was an American mathematician and meteorologist, and a pioneer of chaos theory. He discovered the strange attractor notion and coined the term butterfly effect.
