Tyler Evans was the first “superstar” during my early days membership, but my favorite back in the day was
Mike Robbins, who looked like and acted like the straight guys I lusted after. Mike only bottomed once at the end of his time here, reluctantly as he was told he had to, to remain on the site, and that was my least favorite Mike scene.
While Mike said he was straight, his eyes were always drawn to his partner’s cocks during his scenes, and the look of pleasure on his face when he was getting his cock sucked was my favorite aspect to watching Mike. Sadly his life came to a tragic end, but back in the day, Mike typified my ideal
Broke Straight Boys!
View attachment 132789
I agree with what you're saying, Mike, but I bet that if we had social media like we have today, back then.
Broke Straight Boys wouldn't be the site it has become. The boys on BSB1.0 were mainly bisexual on the straight side of the fence. Most of them had very limited gay sex in their private lives and had sex mainly with females.
They were broke but the only time they actually had gay sex was here on the futon. A lot of boys struggled with their sexuality; doing this was therapy for many of them. Even back in the BSB1.0 days, I would disclose if the model was straight, gay, or had experiences with other studios.
For the models that were bisexual but had very limited or no gay sex prior, I would pawn them off as straight. However, keep in mind back then we didn't have social media and those boys didn't want anyone to know their true sexuality and feelings. Many of these boys were experimenting with sex and self-discovery.
As time and technology changed so did the attitudes of these boys. The ones that are bisexual but limited to gay sex no longer apply for porn because they eventually went back into the closet and those bisexual boys that were comfortable having sex with other guys but maintain their "straightness" realize that they can go on social media and make money, lots of money doing gay porn.
I bet you that the boys from BSB1.0 finally felt comfortable doing gay porn if they had the opportunity back then to film themselves for social media, I bet all the models you guys loved on BSB1.0 would be on Twitter promoting their social media accounts and I am sure the members of the BSB1.0 days would follow those models and watched and joined there social media and then come back here on the forum and bitch and complain that the models on BSB1.0 were not "straight" and we would have had a very different debate back then and the realism of these boys, the fantasy would have been lost.
Because now in today's porn world, these new bisexual guys regardless if they had prior gay sex or not, watched porn and are focused on kissing, rimming, and having gay sex, that is what they know and think is acceptable because they also watch social media porn. In their minds, if they want to make money filming porn, they will have to kiss, rim, and have true gay sex.
On the other side, there are many gay men that like to watch "straight" guys having gay sex. This is a fetish and a very unique concept. There are men into feet. men into socks, men into bondage, men into all sorts of different types of sex, and
Broke Straight Boys is a unique fetish site for those that enjoy straight guys having gay sex. It's a fetish if you want to realize that or not.
However, just like many fetish sites, it only attrachs a certain amount of people watching this type of fetish. In today's market when you have a business you have to cater to the masses, it's difficult enough to own and operate a business so you have to take the road that is safe and going to maximize the profitability of your business.
With all the changes happening in the gay porn industry and the fans that watch porn most of the gay men that watch porn want to see gay sex. I don't think they really care if the models are straight, bisexual, or gay at this point, they just want to see hot sexy guys having hardcore gay sex.
Gay porn is traditionally two guys, meeting up, and flirting with each other, they start to kiss, then go into oral and then rimming, and then anal have great dicks and great cum shots. That is what the typical mainstream gay man wants to see. We all have different tastes in guys, but the main formula of gay sex in porn is what I just described, which is what the gay audience is looking for in porn.
As a porn business, you can be unique with a very niche subject matter but as a business model is that going to earn you money and survive or do you have to change with the times so you can cater to a broader audience so you can survive? Back in the day, you can have a niche membership website and it did great, but since there is so much free porn on the internet, a lot of these niche websites have either disappear or have very few members supporting those sites since you can see everything for free these days. Back in the day, we had many great niche sites that did very well, but all these tube sites, it destroyed a lot of porn business.
Then the mainstream porn studios got hit badly when models decided to film themselves as social media became super popular. Today a model can set up their only-fans account, and cell phone cameras are super high quality a new model can do a few scenes for a studio and eventually through social media become super popular making them a lot of money. Many of these guys on social media are gay and/or bisexual and they don't have any problem having sex and doing all sorts of gay sex because in return they are making loads of money.
To compete, the remaining studios that still have membership websites have to keep up with the current trends in porn, or else that particular website will no longer be in existence. The industry now is morphing and changing on so many levels.
It's great to be nostalgic and remember the good ole days, I also live in the past. For me, I wish I can go back into a time machine and relive the 1980s. I wish I can go back to my hometown with my great friends and enjoy those moments I had and miss so much. As I get older, I realize time is changing and in my opinion, it's not getting any better in a way I am glad I am older since I wouldn't want to be in this world as a younger person. I can't imagine what type of world we are going to live in in the next 10,20,30 years from now. It's kind of scary.
My point is that yesterday left us and never returned and we all have to move on as individuals and society, we always have our great memories and the experiences we had in the past regardless, as we age and grow older we will experience loved ones passing, friends passing, relationships loved and lost meeting new friends and establishing new experiences, its wonderful to have great memories and live in the past, but we have to also be in the current, in today's world regardless if we like it or not, time doesn't stop for nobody and with time comes changes.
