I also think there is just a natural "life expectancy" of a porn model's career. The type of guys featured on
Broke Straight Boys may have even shorter careers here or in this genre of porn because we all age, and as we do so our bodies and faces just naturally change.
Some can adapt and move on --
Anthony High from the early
Broke Straight Boys years really bulked up and went from boyish pizza delivery boy here 9 years ago to now doing muscle daddy porn on another site, for instance. Other models can't or don't move on and just drop out, instead -- as has been mentioned, porn for most of these guys isn't their career of choice, but something they do for some great quick cash while in school or working low-level jobs. Eventually most grow up and settle down with families and careers. Some may have regrets or embarrassment or shame after they've done porn, so want only to distance themselves from it, and others have serious problems of one sort or another, be it addictions, mental issues, anger issues, etc., and they are likely not invited back because they are difficult to work with, unreliable, or their looks have suffered from their personal demons. It is really on US for getting attached to so many of them, but that is one of the unique things about
Broke Straight Boys in that it's a family sort of atmosphere where in many cases the members do truly feel like we know some of the guys and have true feelings for them beyond simple lust! We like or even feel love toward some of them and are genuinely concerned for their well-being and happiness. I know a few forumites are in contact with some models on a more personal level as friends or older mentors/parental figures, and I suspect maybe a little more in some caes!
I think that speaks volumes for both
Broke Straight Boys and the general membership, and the models, themselves.
