Whats happened/happening to BSB?

[mikeyank]

There's probably more truth in that statement than we may realize...one of the perks of "being here forever". He probably has all his posts categorized and just picks one that fits the situation.

"That new guy may have a nice body, but to me he is not believably straight"..........November 18, 2009.

"The latest models are not my cup of tea, but I remain here for the forum"..........April 28, 2011.

I have no clue as to what you guys are talking about Peter and Robb.............. lol

Tampa -

My bad! See, to me it is not a big deal. Yet, perhaps a lack of good judgment on my part. Like the original Mikey - he came in straight, said he was leaning bi, and by his 12th or so scene he said he proudly claimed the title of gay. I believe the viewers still appreciated his work as he stayed on for some time. Ian seems to still have a solid following. I count myself among them, but I am not judging models by how straight they are/aren't. I do, however, understand the "from the get-go of the web site members" perspective about the changes that have occurred over the decade.

Hi Ertas,

It's just that because it was Ian , it struck a bit of a nerve with me. Because I really like him. Gay or not. Many of us members seem to have certain models who we feel protective of. Of course if any of us feel protective of them, it's usually because they've taken some grief or even bullying in here in the past from people who didn't like a model and/or his work. Admittedly while I don't feel that I've ever bullied any models, I have been on both sides of the same fence. That is, me giving negative feedback about a model that somebody else in here liked. For myself, I feel protective of models like Blake Bennett and Ian among a few others. So if I find info about any certain favorite models of mine online that I think would give their detractors in here more ammunition, I purposely don't share it with the forum. I think you can see the logic of that. lol

I apologize if I've been mean towards Ian, but you must admit Tampa that you've been as mean if not meaner to a certain model that I respect and admire, Jimmy Johnson, so the pendulum does swing both ways.

Just to be neutral with my buddy's Mikeyank and Tampa, both Jimmy and Ian suck and not in the good way...... lol

Oh. Well thank you Mikey. I wasn't fishing for any apologies. I was just making the point that many of us have favorites among models in here who are not always well regarded by other members. And yes. T'is true. I have been far more harsh in my opinion and comments about Jimmy than you ever have towards Ian. It does always feel better to be the one defending a model instead of being the one dishing out negative feedback. It's part of the human condition though that some people in life we are going to just adore, while some others we will strongly dislike. Ideally we can strive to only increase our expression of positive regard for the former and greatly temper our negativity towards the latter. In a perfect world, eventually even all of the latter would eventually become one of the former. lol

As I said in my earlier post, I'm not going anywhere and we shall see what the future brings. I too hope for the best.

That's good to know Bob, and there are other's too who are into this "Broke Straight Boys thing" for the long run. It's kinda like a marriage, for better or worse, in sickness or in health, etc. lol

While I think the production quality here is the highest its ever been, I personally find that the recent models -- say over the last year and a half -- are nowhere near what the older ones were. And that's not to put anyone down. It just is what it is for the various reasons mentioned already by others, and just my own personal preferences. But I'm a fan of the Broke Straight Boys classic years with models like Sklyer and Cage Kafig and Jeremy and Braden. Back then they truly seemed straight and nervous and awkward. It was exciting to see them take each new step into the gay for pay video scene. Back then it started out slowly and built -- first they did a solo scene and then an oral scene and then went into anal. Now there are very, very few strictly oral scenes, and everyone goes straight into anal (see what I did there? Pardon the pun!). As someone who prefers the oral scenes there is less and less here for me. So after some thought I've canceled my membership. I'll keep an eye on the site and if it seems to be swinging back into the format and models that I like then I'll be back. I will miss lurking here -- the membership is very nice here. But with so few new models who interest me and almost no oral scenes anymore its just time to move on.

Thank you for your post Scott. I am sorry that you are leaving, as you are a good guy and I love Broke Straight Boys and I want to see the site continue and thrive, and with members leaving, that is a bad sign, but at least you expressed yourself, rather than just cancelling and dropping out of sight, silently. I really hope that management reads your post and takes it to heart.

The part that resonated the most with me was when you said, "But I'm a fan of the BSB classic years with models like Sklyer and Cage and Jeremy and Braden.

While my "golden years" here go back further than Skyler and Cage Kafig, the message remains the same. I know and understand that we do have members here, both old and new, who enjoy the current style, but I have to believe that there are more than just myself and Scott and Jack who made the original post on this thread who think that the site should go back to basics, with at least some models, and not have them all getting fucked by their second or third scenes. There are so many sites on the internet featuring hot guys fucking each other. Let Broke Straight Boys be unique and offer something different.

 

[tampa24]

I'm sorry to see you'll be leaving us soon Scott. I hope your departure will be brief and you'll be back in the near future. I too want to see the site continue to add and keep new members.

I for one do not want to go back-things have changed radically in gay for pay over my many years. It gforp started with str8 men with hoods on fucking queers. Stroke off only, then jack off with someone else doing it, then paired up jackoff scenes, then the pairs jacking each other and on & on until we have Today 2015. The history should tell everyone if you stay the same you get left behind. Now on the web there are muliple sites offering women pegging the str8 guys or rimming sites and so on. And this is for who to watch- Mainly Str8 men sites. Just saw last night one with husband & wife in gangbang and he did cleanup of her pussy. There were at least 15 of these scenes all different couples just examples of whats out there in the str8 vids. Things will change regardless of what we want.LOL

 

[nova67]

And on several sites that I am on now- solos & oral are being fazed out- The str8 guys do it or not if they do not no work, simple And cost effective. Several foreign sites have brought back hooded str8 guys to do the work-many are married or whatever, so my point is this. Things are changing regardless, Broke Straight Boys will have to or die simple business. Other sites are some faster than others so I speak from my wide knowledge porn from the 60s until now. 8MM from the stoneage of porn until now what a difference- now the changes are much faster, or did you not notice. Have a good day.
