Four Reactions to “Gay For Pay” Porn: Which One Are You?

As expected, the feedback to our latest update has been all over the map. After filming these types of scenes for over a decade now (yikes, I’m sounding old lol), I’ve noticed that the feedback tends to fall pretty predictably into the following four types of reactions:

The Haters:

These are the people who despise the entire “gay for pay” genre and can’t understand why anyone would ever want to watch a reluctant straight guy having awkward gay sex for the very first time. They only want to see experienced and passionate sex between eager gay and bisexual guys, and usually act like every other porn viewer should feel the same way they do.

(Of course these same people complaining about the straight guys being too stiff, uncomfortable, quiet, awkward, blindfolded, etc. are always the first and loudest to let everyone know “they knew all along,” “he was gay from the start,” etc., etc. if/when after months or even years of hard work and patient persistence, we’re lucky enough to persuade the guy to do more).

I understand and respect those who dislike this type of porn, just as I do those who ONLY enjoy these types of scenes and wish we’d quit working with gay and bi models altogether.

But unless you just discovered BBA for the very first time last week, please stop acting all shocked and appalled that we’d even dare to contemplate producing such a scene, like it’s some of kind scam or outrage to you as a customer. Most of you know perfectly well this is one of BBA’s original and most iconic themes, and one we have no intentions of abandoning any time soon. So please just relax and take comfort in the fact that we feature a wide variety of models and themes here at BBA from one week to the next.

The UN-Realists:

These are the impatient viewers who CLAIM they want to see straight guys doing “gay for pay” porn, but have wildly unrealistic expectations about what straight guys will and won’t do right out of the gate.

You can’t ask for porn starring authentically straight black males and then turn around and expect them to be passionately tongue-kissing, sucking dick, and/or getting gang-banged by their third scene, LOL. That’s just not how this type of thing works, and demanding otherwise is both unfair to the models and the authenticity of the genre. Which brings me to the next group….

The Deniers:

These are the skeptics who claim it’s ALL just scripted and faked, the “straight” guys are just gay actors presenting a staged fantasy, all the scenes just follow the same predictable scripted formula, blah blah blah.

Of course these critics conveniently ignore the countless examples throughout BBA history of straight models who never end up doing anything more than a solo “audition,” or depart from this alleged “formula” by progressing in an unexpected and unconventional order (Scotty and Shaun, for example), or freak out and disappear before ever “going all the way.”

Armando Back Tease

Seriously, don’t you think if these guys were just gay actors and it was all planned out in advance, we would have seen Armando aggressively fucking some tight boy-ass by now, or Miguel with gobs of cum dripping from his disgusted face as the hot straight boy bottom in a bukkake, or best of all, the much-requested epic flip-flop threesome starring straight “homeboys” Shaun, Scotty, and Trapp?!?

I always tell BBA’s skeptics to just look at our many “failures” to better understand and appreciate the REALNESS and significance of our stand-out successes.

Official Fan Favorites from 2017

Despite our best efforts, just about everything that could possibly go wrong to sabotage our hot plans has happened these past couple weeks. It’s been disappointing and frustrating to say the least. But we’re not giving up, and new updates will hopefully still be resuming later this month (don’t have an exact date for you yet).

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote! As we continue working hard behind the scenes to bring you fresh faces and film exciting new scenes, it’s interesting and helpful (and sometimes surprising) seeing which models and scenes you enjoyed the most from last year.

The polls have closed, the results are now in, and below are your official fan favorites from 2017:

Favorite Solo Scene: Trapp – Testing The Waters
(Runner-Up: Private Sessions – Staxx)

Spring Season 2017 Kick-Off (Coming Soon!)

I just wanted to let everyone know that we’ll be resuming the regular weekly schedule and officially kicking off BBA’s Spring Season starting next week (March 9th/10th).

I’m relieved and happy to be able to report that production of new content is finally back in full swing, and recent video-shoots have been VERY productive and successful so far. I can’t even begin to express how excited I am to start sharing with you some of the hot surprises in store for our upcoming Spring season. I’ll try to post some preview pics and teasers in the near future.

While frustrating and regrettable to be sure, this recent break from the weekly schedule has reminded me of a couple very important but easily forgotten things:

First, just how much I LOVE my dream job of making hot porn! Not that I ever STOPPED loving it, but sometimes it’s easy to get bogged down in the pressures and stress of keeping up with the weekly schedule, and lose sight of why I started doing this in the first place.

Nobody takes it harder than I do when setbacks and disruptions keep me from delivering the kind of high-quality content that I strive to bring BBA’s viewers year round. But these recent shoots have been an enormous and encouraging relief, and reminded me just how much fun this job can be when I have a little creative room to breathe and things actually go according to plan!

The second thing I’ve been reminded of these past couple weeks is that BBA really does have the BEST FANS in the business! And I’m not talking about the thieves and cheapskates and freeloaders who call themselves “fans” but only watch what they’re able to find on illegal piracy sites. No, I’m talking about the TRUE, passionate, loyal, dedicated fans who consistently show their love and support by subscribing and/or buying credits on a regular basis, many of you since the early X-Tube and good ol’ Blue Futon days!

I was fully prepared for all kinds of anger and negativity to be hurled in my direction when I posted that blog announcement a few weeks ago, but instead I have received nothing but an outpouring of encouragement and support from the vast majority of you over these past couple weeks.

It’s always nice being reminded that my hard work is enjoyed and appreciated by so many passionate and loyal viewers all over the world, especially during difficult down-times like this. The words of support and encouragement expressed by so many of you over these past couple weeks have been more inspiring and rejuvenating than you’ll ever know!

By the way, if you have an active BBA membership and haven’t yet contacted me about the free month or complimentary credits, please email me at michael@blackboyaddictionz.com and I’ll be happy to take care of that for you right away.

Thanks for your patience while we continue working hard behind the scenes to bring you fresh faces and exciting surprises for what I hope will be an unforgettable Spring Season and rest of 2017. STAY TUNED  😉 !

And The Winner Was…

bba_banditandzadian_blog2
Several of you have been asking me lately who ended up winning the bonus cash prize between Bandit and Zadian for their participation in what turned out to be one of BBA’s most unique, entertaining, and polarizing scenes of the year (“How Gay Will They Go?”). Whether you loved it or loathed it, this “reality porn” return to BBA’s roots certainly inspired a passionate and vocal response!

Based on the votes of BBA’s members for who they thought was the most open-minded, cooperative, and overall deserving of the bonus cash reward, Bandit won the competition in a landslide with 71% of the votes compared to 29% of the votes for Zadian, and Bandit was awarded the bonus cash prize.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to leave a comment and let us know who you thought most deserved the bonus cash prize! It was definitely a fun and entertaining experiment, and one we just might try again in the near future 😉 ….

Michael In The Movies (2016 Version)

bba_banditbendsover_blog2

Thanks for the enthusiastic feedback from so many of you in response to my recent scene with Bandit! I’m thrilled and flattered to hear that so many of you are enjoying this scene.

To those of you complaining about me appearing in a very relatively small handful of BBA’s scenes, I fully understand that these types of scenes will ALWAYS be controversial and unappealing to some. It would be ridiculous for me to expect these types of scenes to turn on every BBA viewer, and I totally get and respect that seeing me in the scenes will inevitably disappoint and even repulse many viewers.

What I find to be hypocritical and annoying, however, is when people take this criticism to the next level by acting like their personal disgust is universally shared, complaining about me sadistically “subjecting” them to these scenes, and basically demanding that I cater to their more conventional tastes with every scene that I post.

Believe it or not, there’s a large and passionate audience for these types of scenes. All you have to do is skim the blog and website comments to see that there are MANY viewers who not only don’t share your aversion and disgust, but actually ENJOY this type of unique and taboo content! Like it or not, literally thousands of people all over the planet have been busting hot “nutts” to me popping Bandit’s cherry within the past 48 hours.

Those of you criticizing my body and looks are COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT. I’m not suffering from some kind of delusion that makes me think I’m the next Brad Pitt or God’s gift to gay porn, LOL. I don’t take any of these insults personally because I’ve never claimed to be anything other than a pale, average-looking, out-of-shape, balding, corny/nerdy white guy with a relatively small/average dick who happens to have an incurable “black boy addiction” and decided several years ago to share that addiction with my fellow addicts 😉 . 

In other words, you’re not SUPPOSED to find me attractive, and the CONTRAST between my age and looks with those of the models is kind of the whole point, LOL!

bba_banditbendsover_header4

I’ve proposed a theory several times on this blog in the past that those who most viscerally despise my “dirty old man” scenes tend to be “bottoms” or “versatile bottoms” while those who enjoy them the most tend to be “tops” or “versatile tops.” Because at the end of the day, porn is primarily about a process of IDENTIFICATION and living vicariously through the performers on the screen.

So if your main interest as a porn viewer is watching hung, attractive “tops” and picturing yourself in the place of the lucky “bottoms” being fucked by them, then nine times out of ten you’re going to dislike seeing me in the scenes. On the other hand, if you are primarily IDENTIFYING WITH and envying rather than lusting after the “top,” these types of scenes will be much more arousing and appealing for you.

For those open-minded viewers with a sincere interest in better understanding why I film these types of scenes, below is a re-post of my reflections on this topic from a few years ago, attempting to explain the reasoning behind these types of scenes and their place in a long history and popular genre going back decades in both gay and straight porn:

headerTop-FEB16-4A
I just wanted to take a moment and respond to the recent complaints from several of you about my participation in some of the scenes.

BBA has always featured a wide variety of models and themes. In an older blog entry, I compared my diverse collection of movies to an all-you-can-eat buffet.

I realize that this variety can be frustrating for viewers who only enjoy one type of scene or another. Some people love the interracial and “gay for pay” scenes but think the black-only scenes are conventional and boring. Other people enjoy the black-only scenes but think my interracial scenes are unappealing and even offensive.

At the end of the day, everyone has different tastes and I am never going to be able to please every viewer all of the time!

Noah's Ass
Anyone who’s been following my work from the very beginning knows that one of BBA’s basic themes has always been the taboo fantasy of an older white man exploring his “addiction” to younger black males….and more uniquely, his addiction to young black male ass (“white men need ass too!”).

As I clearly advertise in the site’s preview area: “If you’re turned on by the idea of an older white cameraman enjoying the ripe young bodies of his black-boy models, I’m confident you’ll enjoy my movies!”

Wanna Fuck My Black Ass?
Now I can certainly understand and respect that these types of scenes are not going to be everybody’s cup of tea. My interracial scenes always have been and always will be controversial. The recent comments left by some of you on the blog are actually pretty mild and tame compared to some of the hostile things I’ve heard over the years.
