What makes Broke Straight Boys different from other premium gay porn websites. UPDATE

[tampa24]

p.s. Apologies for any misspelled word/grammar. I was multi-tasking!

LOLL Tyler. I should put that warning up for every post I make.

I end up with far more typos than I am comfortable with. Even grammatical errors with missing words in places, and so on. And I've always been a stickler myself for good spelling and grammar. lol

In the lengthy post above for instance, I had completed the whole thing and was ready to proofread it before I sent it. I was in the Advanced mode screen when I hit "Preview Post" so that I could see it in bolder print on a black background. Whereby as I said, I planned to proofread it before I sent/posted it. When I hit "Preview Post", rather than putting my post up on the screen to review, the screen flashed and it lost the entire thing. All gone. I was pissed and frantic trying to figure out if I could recover any of it. I had spent over an hour thinking it through and typing it.

In some situations when that happens you can go back into the site, go back to that same thread where you wrote the lost post, go to the blank Quick Reply box at the bottom, and hit the Go Advanced tab next to the little blank screen. Then you end up in the blank screen of the Advanced section. At that point, and if you're lucky...you'll see a tab at the bottom of the blank screen saying something like, "Restore Saved Content." If you click on that restore button...and again if you're very very lucky...it will often bring up most, if not all of the post you lost. In this case, fortuntely for me...it restored the whole thing. I wasn't going to take another chance on using the Preview Post tab again. So I just quickly hit "Post" without proofreading it. Better to have a few misspelled words, missing words or mangled sentences than nothing at all. lol

Once it was posted and I knew I had it in here safely, where it couldn't be lost again, I knew I could use the Edit feature to go back and do some fixing and proofreading. The problem is that you are only allowed a certain length of time to use the Edit feature before you're locked out of it and no more changes are possible. The time limit was put in place for a good reason that I won't go into now. But I ran out of time to finish proofreading the post. So I'll have to ask all of your indulgence for a few missing words or mangled sentences. Maybe including even this post. haha

One of the most insightful things you mention here is the high likelihood that the third and fourth episodes were shown out of sequence. I believe it's quite possible you're right. It wasn't an obvious conclusion so much in 2009 when there was a two month gap between the last 3 episodes and the release of the final episode to the series. Sometimes when they have an episode which they know is not all that great, they will hold it back and release it later. Often back in Broke Straight Boys-1 days they would hold back a video they knew would not get a very high rating and place it later on in between two videos they knew would likely be very popular. That's not a criticism. That's just good marketing. If you've already spent the money on it and the whole editing department has spent the time to get it ready to show, you don't want to just throw that time and money away.

Completely agree Tampa....they are doing it today. I recall Sha mentioning in a thread a couple of weeks ago on the subject of "Brad Banks", that there was more of him filmed. He (paraphrasing) said it would be shown at a later time. You bet, you pay a model's transportation, feed and house them for, I am guessing, a work week, standard model salary on film with cum shot (average again I'm guessing $350-$500) and that probably increases if there is anal. Now keep in mind from the producer's viewpoint, there is a risk they will bomb, as in Brad Bank's case....or sky rocket as in Damien's and Ashton's case. Mr. Banks may have had a higher fee since he had a resume...don't know. Again, hypothetically speaking (btw I love doing this...the real background of finding these guys, how much $$$ did they really make, keeping them on some sort of a leash for a period of time, and if they stay or where they go if gay4pay freaks them out) almost as much as the sex. However, I do know when to apply the brakes so as to not to harm the fantasy. Back in the early days, and again, thanks Tampa for providing those links to the discussion, in those early days Broke Straight Boys paid you for "good gay4pay sex captured on video" and that was it. Correct me if I'm wrong. My guess is that current Broke Straight Boys budgets approx. $5500-7500 total expense dollars for every newbie we see. You bet smart marketing is so important in yoday's porn business world.

Steve was sneaking glances down. lol I sensed all along that Steve was secretly enjoying doing gay sexual things with Torin.

Even if Torin used a Viagra or other artificial aid, there's no denying that he usually had the hardest dick in the whole room most of the time...in all four scenes. haha I dare say he was most often harder than even dear sweet little Aiden. Regardless of the fact that Steve was not always rock hard, I think he got far more pleasure and satisfaction out of it than Torin.

Steve would often try to either close his eyes or keep them just barely open. When you saw Steve so often sitting there with just eye slits barely open, I always believed he did that on purpose so he could look sideways over at Torin's dick and see what Torin was doing. It was just a way for him to let his eyes wander, hopefully without getting caught. But the camera did catch Steve openly looking over at times and slipping in darting glances at Torin and Aiden while they were sexually engaged with each other

By far though the crux of the anger and controversy (despite the eventual grudging respect I spoke of above) was/is over how badly Torin talked to and treated Aiden. I've met few gay twinks in person who come as close to the sweetness, kindheartedness and gentleness of little Aiden. I was SO mad at Torin at various points over his treatment of Aiden that I just fumed over it.

I definitely noticed that. Also, Steve didn't put up much arguement to any of e sexual stuff. At first I thought he really wants his indpendence as bad as Torin wants him out! Torin was just straight bitching because that's what straight guys do. Also, as I stated before, it was nasty harrassment on Torin's part in his response to seeing Aiden walk in, but /aiden had a thicker skin ( still sad to hear and watch), was able to respond and reflect. Think about it...Torin was expecting a female, already nervous about what has gone down already, then seems to be tricked by Aiden. I think a lot of his anger was really at David and poor Aiden was the one who received it. He wasn't going to anger the one paying him $1000 to be there. haha! Tampa, regardless of all the political equalities that have been afforded to the LGBTQ/BDSM communities, most straight guys AND gals feel and talk among themselves very similar to the way Torin did almost 10 years ago. Not in public or in front of a gay person, but that attitude is still prevalent more than people may want to admit or acknowledge. Tolerance...HUGE GAINS though. I hang out with a lot of straight guys in my other "non-web based" groups/forums dealing with cars...Mustang Clubs both Nationally and locally and classic car groups. I hear the chatter. None of asked me or my buddy John Keith, but I feel they suspect. When they ask, if they do, I will be truthful. For now all is good. Just wanted to make a real life point. here.


As for this guy, Sean Silva, and his "concurrent" episodes with Corey and Nu, they are fun episodes, but didn't make the my list. So now I am looking over "Danny." He looks like he was mainly a party Broke Straight Boys and 90 percent of his episodes are in groups/orgies except for a few, which, I am not a fan of group sex. There are a few scenes that I may single out, like this one.

Also, notice my signature. Great idea. Thanks!

 

[tampa24]

For those of us with a straight boy fetish of sorts, one can imagine why many of us in here found this series highly erotic. Watching Torin very grudgingly give in and do many of the most basic gay sex acts possible was a hoot and quite a turn-on to watch. I always felt happy for Steve. Sexually, I was happy for him to get see his best friend totally naked and rock hard. I'm sure that deep down he secretly quite enjoyed it. Everything else from that point forward was just icing on the cake for Steve. (With the possible exception of the fucking.) It's a tough call whether Steve enjoyed being fucked or if he was really freaked out by it and/or in pain.

At the time I didn't consider Torin to be much above average in looks. With time I find him much more handsome and attractive now. I don't know why. haha

p.s. Apologies for any misspelled words/grammar. I was multi-tasking!
Cheers!
Tyler

I do like your new tagline Tyler. haha Seriously. I wasn't sure whether you knew that was an option to do. But then again you have probably seen there are others who already have them. Or you have the experience from being on other chat rooms and forums on social media.

If I may playfully tease you Tyler...

When you say any of your possible typos and mistakes are due to "multi-tasking", why not try using both hands to type? One-handed typing is tough. haha When one hand is trying to type...and the other is off doing something else...away from the keyboard...it does make it hard to spell all those words right. Lmao

This was a cute series too. As I recall, Landon was a man of few words. He didn't say much or emote much. But he sure looked good. Handsome kid. haha
Max was actually my favorite of the two. More masculine and straighter. lol

I haven't read most of the posts on this thread, especially the lengthy, wordy ones. The title of this thread is "What makes Broke Straight Boys different from other premium gay porn websites". Here are my thoughts:


1. I have not been on every gay porn website in existence so I can't make absolute judgments. I can only speak in reference to the few that I have joined for a month or two from time to time or perused during a visit. Some might have consistently hotter models, but most of the models are all too similar. I like Broke Straight Boys because we do have a variety. Some might not be the hottest around but I like the variety even if I complain from time to time. Most of my complaints speak more to their performances. The grass always looks greener on the other side, but I tell you I'm still here whereas I tired of the others after a few months. Variety is the spice of life.

2. There is a direct link to management. Yes, I rag on management quite a bit, but at least it provides a vehicle to air our grievances; and in some instances, it does listen to members' suggestions.

3. And finally the forum. I don't know of any other site that has created a community of members who can exchange views about the site or the world in general. That special feeling of sharing something in common, porn, has lead to our sharing a lot of other things other than porn; and form web friendships and in some instances real life friendships.

In sum, those are the things which make Broke Straight Boys, for me, different and better than the others.

Excellent post Stowe my friend and I agree with you and thank you for your nice words mentioning "real life friendships", which is what you and I share. And if Sha or Mark reads this post, I hope they are sitting down as those are the nicest things I can recall you ever saying about management. lol Are you softening up or just having a "senior moment"????? lolololol

Max was actually my favorite of the two. More masculine and straighter. lol

True Tampa. These boys were in three scenes together, but I didn't sense them making more of a connection as did the others that were discussed on this thread. My take away was that Landon, being bi-curious, probably explored more after this. The last episode's final 2-3 minutes, when Max had him in the classic missionary pounding away, he gets this "pleasure smile". Also, he talks erotically for the first time letting Max know he is liking this and then pops his load. Max cums pretty quick, too, and you can see Landon is getting off feeling his cum. I have a feeling Max was enjoying pleasuring Landon by helping him out...plus he was getting paid! I will keep these three together because the other two episodes make this final scene something more special in understanding Landon. Yes, Max was/is that straight guy, who had an open mind, opened even further with the cash. I like his answer when David kept pressing him on how he justified being there, having sex with another man ( "hey straighboy", "what do you think about it straightboy", "what are you going to do with your money straightboy") and he just smiled and kinda of laughed each time finally answering...."Let's just say I'm a horn dog!" Hot Max won my heart with that.

So, I have reached my stated goal on page 35 where the original Broke Straight Boys ends and Broke Straight Boys 2.0 begins with "Jimmy" back on April 11, 2011. I did find these two episodes that were extremely hot with Jeremy Sparks and Ken post Max and Landon. Wow!!!!!

I appreciate all of your help, Tampa, in providing the links to the forum chatter at the time, along with the episodes of Torin, Steven, and Aiden! I was able to explore that more, on my own, and catch the conversations on other topics even further. It was very informative catching the moods of the posters and relating them to the scenes. One thing for sure, I now have some clarity about the "whole picture" of Broke Straight Boys!

Hooray and thank you stowe for that post. I agree with every point you made. As i stated in the openig comment on page one, Broke Straight Boys has been a "touch stone" for me too. I haven't been a consistent member, but it was always on the list one way or the other. I would find myself coming back here to check things out. I wanted to find my own rationale as to why Broke Straight Boys always was a preference and not the others. Since March, I have been a recurrig member and jumped into the forum earlier this month. I was warmly greeted by Mike, Bartirah, Tampa, Johnny, and you and others. I feel like I am learning more about each of you and why we are all here. We have a lot of differences, but so much in common. This is the evidence right here. There is no website that offers this kind of communication among the different levels of the site like Broke Straight Boys If they do have one, the participation is non-existant. Thanks again Stowe1 and Happy Friday everyone!

Well, mikey, when I joined Broke Straight Boys in April 2011 during my 70th year, I really didn't know what I was getting into other than watching porn. I was not all that familiar with websites like this and especially the forum. So for a month I just watched the porn and read the forum just trying to familiarize myself with its folkways. As I did that, your avatar stuck out because I love the Yankees and you're from NYC. Then as I read your posts I could see that we shared similar views on many of the models, scenes, etc. So after a month I signed up for the forum in May. And over time our acquaintance-ship became a genuine real life friendship. That was the last thing I ever expected when I joined and yet the best thing I've gotten from Broke Straight Boys At that point in one's life things are pretty well set so you don't anticipate much, if anything, major changing in your life much less to be adding to your pool of friends. Well, it did for me and I feel blessed by your friendship.

As to Mark and sha, yes I do get on their cases; and I'll admit at times just because I don't agree with some of the things they do or lack of consistency when putting forth their explanations. But I have tried, and maybe not as directly as I thought, to express my appreciation for providing the forum. Also the concept of the site was 100% on point for the time when the site started up. But the world of gay for pay porn has changed rather dramatically over the course of time, especially the last 6 or 7 years. And that has affected the availability of models who fit into the Broke Straight Boys business model. It went from being able, pretty easily, to get the pick of a very large litter to having to pick from a rather small litter. And one thing I don't think any of us give them credit for is not cutting back on the number of scenes offered each week, They've had to change the business model somewhat to include some gay boys. They handled that a bit clumsily in the beginning and tried to obscure the fact that it was happening. But once they fully embraced what they had to do to stay in business, it allowed them to be fulsome with us about it and for the most part all is well.

As to whether I'm softening up or having a senior moment - neither really. I always call a spade a spade. Perhaps I'm just getting a bit better at calling a heart a heart.

Thank you Stowe for what you said about me, and I agree that Mark & Sha do the best job they can under the circumstances of the internet porn industry today, and they still provide us with three scenes per week, plus the behind the scenes, and without raising membership dues. No it is not a perfect site by any means, but it is still a very worthwhile place for me to hang out, now in my semi retired years. The site is still good and the forum and some of the people, both old friends and new are the best part of the whole Broke Straight Boys experience for me!

As you are about to get into the world of Broke Straight Boys-2 Tyler starting with Jimmy, keep in mind that it is under a new production team with a different style, and it took a while for them to find their way. And I will point out that Jimmy was the most controversial model in the history of the site. And as much as he was bashed on the forum, he went on to great success in the gay for pay porn industry after his year here. I have a lot of respect and admiration for Jimmy, so if you decide to comment here on his scenes, please be gentle. And don't take him too seriously. It's only porn! lol

Hi Tyler,

I admire your dedication shall we say, in getting through all of the Broke Straight Boys-1 archive that most interested you. lol Well done! I hope you're not too sore. haha Anyway..... It was my pleasure to go into the archives and get some of that info for you.

Those particular forum threads showed much consternation and debate among us in here. Precisely because of that I think I'm not surprised that Mikey would have been somewhat disappointed in looking for fond memories of those days within those particular threads when we were discussing such controversy. Other threads on different subjects are much better in showing many of us at our best and happiest.

I was so pleased to see you liked Jeremy! True story. About 3-4 years ago we were discussing favorite models from the past. I went to look up Jeremy and found a picture of him in here. When I looked at his picture my heart literally skipped a beat and fluttered. I hadn't experienced that sensation of seeing a man who either literally took my breath away, made me weak in the knees, or made my heart flutter...since I was in my 20's. Jeremy has IT. I don't know what kind of charisma or sexual magnetism he has... But he's got it. haha

I liked the two scenes you mention above much more so because of Jeremy than for Ken. Not that Ken is a bad model or unattractive. He's neither of course. But Ken played the scenes much more gay, whereas I could at least fantasize that my macho studly Jeremy was straight. lol I may have been delusional on that point. But it sure helped me to enjoy his scenes even more. I much prefer Jeremy clean shaven. But he still looks sexy and hot with facial hair. I went back to look at his model page and got a kick out of the description of his penis size. 7.5 inches. lol No... haha I totally love Jeremy in spite of the fact that he does not have a very large dick for a porn star. He's probably around a 5+ to 5.5 inches range. Even if I saw Jeremy today I wouldn't be surprised if I got all tongue-tied like a lovesick little school girl just trying to talk to him. Haha

My favorite scene (of many good ones with Jeremy) is this one with Rex. In spite of a premature orgasm that sadly ends a potentially great fucking sequence too soon, I find this video totally hot. The chemistry and camaraderie between them is entertaining and enjoyable to watch in and of itself.

Jeremy & Rex

As you are about to get into the world of Broke Straight Boys-2 Tyler starting with Jimmy, keep in mind that it is under a new production team with a different style, and it took a while for them to find their way. And I will point out that Jimmy was the most controversial model in the history of the site. And as much as he was bashed on the forum, he went on to great success in the gay for pay porn industry after his year here. I have a lot of respect and admiration for Jimmy, so if you decide to comment here on his scenes, please be gentle. And don't take him too seriously. It's only porn! lol

Mikey's quite right about that Tyler. In the interest of full disclosure here, I got to where I just couldn't stand Jimmy. At all. Mikey and some others have a much more favorable opinion of Jimmy than I. So we sometimes do a familiar dance where I'm critical of Jimmy and Mikey feels obligated to defend him. Mikey and I are friends. It's what we do. haha

I was very upset that Jimmy was offered an exclusive one year contract with the site. But we can't change the past. Be prepared though that after Jimmy's solo (in my opinion) it will be several more scenes over a period of about 3-4 months before Jimmy has many scenes worth watching. They do pick up eventually. Though I will never go back to re-watch any of his scenes. Even including the three scenes he has with one of my all-time favorite models. Most of his beginning scenes got ratings of low 2's when they first aired. Once they got farther back the archives his scenes gained somewhat higher ratings from new people who found his scenes later. They could watch his scenes out of sequence and didn't experience the fatigue and overexposure of seeing him come out with a new scene 2-3 times every month for a year. After about 4 months or so, Jimmy's ratings climbed up into the mid to high 3's with a few low 4's thrown in. They're much more watchable than some of the earlier ones.

The new Broke Straight Boys-2 director Clay acted like he had no clue what he was doing on a porn set for the first few months. It took him a while before he acclimated and found his groove. So it was a rocky period with inconsistent quality of scenes and even the quality of models being hired. You have to have patience to get through the first 3-4 months of scenes before things pick up. There are a few gold nuggets of really good models (though often in sub-par scenes) in the early days of Broke Straight Boys-2. But even as far as models go, they're few and far between. lol My own personal favorite among those gold nuggets of very early Broke Straight Boys-2 models was of course Colin. LOL

Bobby was also an early favorite.

Mikey's quite right about that Tyler. In the interest of full disclosure here, I got to where I just couldn't stand Jimmy. At all. Mikey and some others have a much more favorable opinion of Jimmy than I. So we sometimes do a familiar dance where I'm critical of Jimmy and Mikey feels obligated to defend him. Mikey and I are friends. It's what we do. haha

I was very upset that Jimmy was offered an exclusive one year contract with the site. But we can't change the past. Be prepared though that after Jimmy's solo (in my opinion) it will be several more scenes over a period of about 3-4 months before Jimmy has many scenes worth watching. They do pick up eventually. Though I will never go back to re-watch any of his scenes. Even including the three scenes he has with one of my all-time favorite models. Most of his beginning scenes got ratings of low 2's when they first aired.

Please keep in mind Tyler, that Tampa offers his own version of the tale of Jimmy, and while many more of the vocal forumites were anti Jimmy, he had his base of fans too, as attested to by his success in the industry with dozens and dozens of scenes for another porn studio after he left BluMedia, and of course the fact that when Mark was involved in production of a short lived TV series about gay life in Los Angeles, (titled DTLA = downtown Los Angeles) and he hired one Broke Straight Boys model to cameo on the show it was Jimmy. And also when Mark filmed the Broke Straight Boys-TV show he hired Jimmy Johnson along with his former girlfriend and the mother of his sons to appear on the show, even though Jimmy had long been gone from the Broke Straight Boys troupe of models, as Mark needed a "villain" for the TV show to add some spice and drama and Jimmy acted out his role to a tee.

If you choose to search the forums, you will see that Jimmy also used to mix it up on the forum with the fans and was not shy about battling with his detractors on the forum. To me, he was a good kid whose true personality came out mostly on his many many behind the scenes videos when he accompanied Sha to quite a few Gay Pride events representing Broke Straight Boys and you can see how well he got along with his gay fans, always being polite and posing for photographs as well as the "bromance" he developed with Rob Ryder who represented College Dudes at the same events.

Basically what I am saying is that there are always at least two sides to every story, and Tampa offers his own version of reality when he speaks of how membership felt about Jimmy, as I do mine and perhaps the "truth" lies somewhere in the middle, lol Tyler, enjoy your journey through BSB2 and the year of Jimmy Johnson!

If you are interested Tyler in the behind the scenes, you can see the real Jimmy's personality come out in the 2011 pride scenes as he was the face of Broke Straight Boys that year.

One more recommendation from the BTS series Tyler. This is called "Jamie Bobby And Jimmy Take On The Board" from May 13, 2011 where the three models sit and read the forum comments about them and particularly Jimmy as they read the posts. Of course I pay particular attention at the 7:30 mark when they read my comments and Jimmy says, "mikeyank. That is my dawg". And he means it in a good way. lol
