What is going on with Broke Straight Boys?

[dande01]

There are so many members, we can line up all our members in one room (in one large room) and everyone will have a different opinion and likes and dislikes. I'm so intrigued by the fact that our members are so passionate about the Broke Straight Boys site, that it actually gives me the strenght to film and be in tune with everyone and that it just makes me stay on my toes to do a better job each day we hire a model and film them.

Exactly David and that is why I know you take all points onboard whether they are good or indifferent. I think you would be the first one to be pissed off if the forum was full of Yes men.

I hope we get a chance to see the Mike and Mike combo that they mentioned in the recent scene they did with Austin.

Not so Broke Straight Boys

Has anyone seen a new Broke Straight Boys recently?? Talk about keep recycling the same models, they are hardly broke or straight anymore. I have even seen Austin performing for Raging Stallion (that great bastion of heterosexuality 0 not) . Heres you gay guy who won't be renewing an annual subscription.

David and Mark, I really think you should pay attention to what ansleyn said in his post. While many of the "core" members of the forum have their favorite models, and enjoy watching these regulars, be they gay, bi or straight, I still believe that the "silent majority" of the actual viewers of this site came here for the same reason that I did, and that was to view young good looking guys who are ostensibly straight get naked and do sexual things with another dude. That is the "hook" and the turn on that brought me here, and I feel most certain that many other guys have the same fetish for straight guys that I do.

It has been pointed out scores and scores of times, that the Internet is loaded with sites that show good looking gay guys kissing, and sucking and fucking with passion and intensity. And that BluMedia now owns and operates, BrokeColleguys and Boy Gusher I have not joined either of those sites as what I'm looking for, for my masturbatory online pleasure are the kind of straight guys that I've been around all of my life, from my own youth, through high school and college and later as an adult, working with young straight adult males, and seeing them on the beach or at the park, engaging in sports or drinking beer and flirting with the young ladies.

My turn-on is watching straight guys like that and fantasizing about seeing them naked and hard, and potentially having another guy, (me in my fantasies) stroking their young erections and potentially giving them head. Broke Straight Boys is a place to see these fantasies turn into realities, (at least on screen).

I don't question the effective use of gay guys in the Broke Straight Boys scenes to bring out the best in the straight guys, but when the scenes bring back the same recycled models over and over again, it gets boring and is no longer "boner inducing" for me, and apparently for members of the site like ansleyn, who is not renewing his membership.

I have no intention of leaving this site, and I am an avid reader and participant in the forum, and I trust Mark that better days are coming in late March, or certainly by early April. And while I used to detest the term, "silent majority" from the days of Spiro Agnew, and his boss, Tricky Dicky, I can see the validity of the term used here.

I joined this site looking for cocky confident, handsome young straight guys, doing what DOESN'T COME NATURALLY to them, ostensibly for money, (without examining the psychological needs of a guy who would take a job working for Broke Straight Boys) getting nervous, but still going through with gay sex acts to be filmed and shown to horny gay guys around the world.

I love this site, and what David and Mark do, and I want it to remain successful and very popular, and I hope that you do read the words of what
ansleyn and others have said. Stay true to what made you so popular, improve your technological aspects, (HD, etc), get hotter straight guys to perform, and keep the site fresh with new tentative, somewhat nervous, but hot straight guys. Sprinkle in our favorites like Tyler, Logan, Mike Robbins, etc. but with three times a week updates, we should be sampling a large variety of hot young straighties. I trust that David and Mark all ready know this, and that the site will keep getting better and better as we move forward in 2010.

I totally agree with re-hashing models...you don't have to preach..I'm with you on the same page. Here is the issue we have on our side.

Since Broke Straight Boys started, we introduced many gay for pay models, straight curious guys on the site. My intentions was not to bring them back as much, for me 4-6 scenes was enough and then we move onto new models that look just as hot. Before we had a forum, before Broke Straight Boys was as popular as it is, we would get emails from our members telling us that they wanted to see certain models once again. One of the models was Taz, Taz was on other sites and he was gay for pay. He was married, had a wife and 2-3 kids at the time and he worked the porn circuit. So we got back Taz and filmed him more and our members loved him and loved seeing Taz. Then we had Phoenix aka Sebastian who was also gay for pay and our members wanted to see him over & over again. As we kept on filming guys on the site came and went and then the next new hottest model was Tyler. Well...all shit hit the fan with Tyler and our members overwhelmingly wanted to see more Tyler, more Tyler..the members screamed...MORE TYLER!!!!! WE WANT TYLER!!!!! we would get emails threatening us that the only reason why they joined the Broke Straight Boys site is because of TYLER and if "WE" don't see more TYLER, I'm canceling my membership!!!

But not only did members scream for more Tyler....but more CJ, more Dustin, more Austin more Danny. I've even brought in a gay boy named Michael (from the cousin episode) and again overwhelmingly members wanted to see more Michael and he's GAY!!!! the members LOVE Michael, they can't get enough of him. MORE, MORE they screamed. Even today now that we have a forum you will see many posts about "who is your favorite Broke Straight Boys model" and many members continue to request the same models over and over again...they want them paired with other favorite Broke Straight Boys models and want to see more action.

So as you can see, although I do agree with limiting the amount of times a model can appear on the Broke Straight Boys site, its the members and the members that voice there opinion and if we receive many requests for a certain model and our members enjoy watching that model, we are going to keep bringing that model back. Now are they broke, yes...LOL. Although you see them on the site often, they only film 4 days in one month so the money the make in the 4 days of filming carries them for the month and then they are broke the next month after that they are broke and ready to work/film again to make more money.

Also keep in mind that when a model arrives here, we judge them. If a model comes here and is good-looking and performs well and keeps an open mind and is willing to perform and is a good model, I know from experience if the members are going to fall in love with certain models and if they are going to be popular. Once this is the case, we sign them up as an exclusive model for 6 months and we are obligated by contracts to give that model 6 months worth of work. The good thing about that is we truly have models you can not see anywhere else. If you want to see Diesal, Tyler, CJ, Shane (Tank), Danny, or Logan...you can only find them here on the Broke Straight Boys or College Boy Physicals or any of our other sites. We rather have "our" boys on our sites then have them seen on our competitors sites. This is what keeps our sites unique compared to our competitors. On an occasion you will see some of our models on other sites...this is common in this industry. The other great thing is that we also have Broke Straight Boys events and travel throughout the United States with our popular models that can only be seen on our sites so again, the popularity of the model is determined by YOU, the members.

Once the HD footage is up on the Broke Straight Boys site, we will be introducing a lot of new models to the Broke Straight Boys site. You will also see some return popular models, some of the models doing stuff you will be very surprised and shocked. The members will be introduced to new fresh faces of models that are unique to our site and only can see here on our sites. Please be patient as we are going through the last of the older footage and we have some great things in store for this year.

Although they are repeated models. The action is still hot and there a lot of members that still love to see these models.

Case in point. This last scene that was just updated. It happens to be ranked very high

Well that can be misleading though. You can have only a handful of votes from fans of that particular model and get it a high rating. high ratings doesn't equate a hot scene to everyone.

I agree with that Scott. I don't believe that a high rating necessarily indicates what the general membership is thinking. I don't usually vote on the scenes, and I would guess that the members who don't participate in the forum may not all be voters either.

Id bet most guys here dont even go to the forums to read or post. As for me Id like to see older guys in the shoots paired with older guys.

This statement is very true. The members that are active on this forum represents a very small percentage of our members. Most members log on, watch the action...have there fun, and move on with there life.

However, for a studio, this is the best way for us to at least communicate with some of our members and hear some feedback.

Thank you David for confirming what I had assumed. Approximately what percentage of the active members actually vote on the scenes? That would also answer some questions that I have about what the "silent majority" of Broke Straight Boys members really want in the videos. Thanks David for continuing to interact with us, and give us behind the scenes information.

This is a great question. However, this I don't have the answer. If one person votes a "5" for the scene and nobody else votes, then that scene would be the highest rating with a "5". If another person turns around and votes a "2", then the program averages it out and then the scene drops to a 3 or 3.5. As for how many members actually vote for the scenes...we really don't know.

There are also some members that email us directly, that don't even post on this forum so we can a lot of feedback and comments that way too. However, the private emails we do receive pretty much echoes what is discussed on this forum and those "silent" members share many of your same views. 95% of the feedback and comments we receive are positive. There are a few that send us hate emails, they hate me, they hate the site, the think our models are ugly...but that is a comment we hardly receive and that type of comment comes to us once in a blue moon. A perfect example of this is the contest winner, Rob Smith...he doesn't post on the forum at all. He emailed in his episode and he became the winner. I'm also sure there are many lurkers (members that look & read but don't post) that come here and read what is going on.

Some forum members come & go. Some don't renew there memberships, we don't hear from them for months...and then "poof" they join again and they are back!

And then there is the JustUsBoys site where I go daily and read the comments posted about the pics that are shown. I have to admit that at times I get very insulted. Here is my issue with JustUsBoys site and the members over there.

Many of those members are looking for "FREE" content to jerk off and they are not going to join a paysite to watch porn. So when we place up photos to market and promote Broke Straight Boys or College Boy Physicals what they see is two guys having sex so on the JustUsBoys site, since they don't have a membership, they don't here the set-up and they have no clue what is going on in that particular scene, they just write a nasty comment based on what they see in the pics that are posted. I have seen some really nasty rude comments that I get personally offended by. It amazes me how judgmental they can be just viewing 10 pics and based a whole site based on those 10 pics without joining the site to finding out the real story behind those pics.

Of course, there are many on the JustUsBoys site that love our work, and are members and post positive remarks....but the ones that are not members can be very rude an nasty.

So I also use JustUsBoys as a small critique to see how we do as a website and listen to that feedback as well. I no longer get insulted because I realize the JustUsBoys members that bash our content, have no clue and too cheap to purchase a membership to any site and these are the guys that are just looking on the web for freebies (which I don't think is a bad thing either) and many of them have issue's with themselves as human's, they are bitter nasty rude gaymen and perhaps they were members of the Broke Straight Boys site and they got booted from the forum and had a bad customer service issue and now they hate us and what we do, like I state many times before, we can't satisfy everyone. All in all the majority of surfers, our members enjoy the site overal but we continue to make adjustments, improve and try not to be stale and get too boring and we listen to our members to try to make the Broke Straight Boys experience better each month after month.

David,

Just out of curiousity is it possible to find a program that will not only average out the votes, but also tell you the number of votes? I think having the number of votes along with the rating would be a bit more helpful. While I'm also not sure how possible this idea is, maybe having people do mini reviews (similar to what amazon does) for the vids would also be helpful.

Also, I realize my comment may have come across a bit rude, and I didn't mean it that way.

Mark handles the programming and the technical aspect of the sites so this is something you can bring to Mark's attention regarding the voting process for each scene.

Thanks for everyone's patience. We are very close to HD.
