These kinds of sites disturb me. First of all, you know it's all fake. These are porn actors. It's just a fantasy. I wonder why anyone would fantasize about being able to exploit other people. I mean, that's the basis of this site and of other sites like Bait Bus and Bang Bus, etc. It's all so degrading.
Of course it is all faked, and often times it takes a lot of production to make it look homemade. The models sure are not exploited in particular by these kind of productions. I've never seen one of them that looked malnourished or incapable of work. Would they not be exploited if they were pumping gas in Phoenix for money instead of pumping their dicks in San Diego or Hollywood?
Many of these guys are street hustlers, and especially in these kinds of flicks they are just asked to jack off - which is 100% safe sex. Others are military guys looking for party money. I've never seen one where the model looked especially strung out or drunk, and I know there are several producers who won't work with a fucked-up model.
The street hustlers are not living a healthy lifestyle, but the flicks did not do that to them. No doubt if one of them runs for senator the porn flick will come back to haunt them - but ...
I heard from one guy who did some art stills back in the seventies with a 'physique' photographer. They were solo poses with no actual hand on cock action, but very clearly gay. When the photographer's assets were liquidated the remaining prints were bought up and offered for sale. The model had let his real name be used and had signed a release, and the pics were showing up whenever someone googled him. His only option was to buy up the prints at highly inflated prices. That is exploitation, but I have never heard of anything of the kind from straight-guy-jack-off videos. No one would let a model use his own name, and often temporary tattoos are used to allow the model to have some deniability. The video business is not selling snow cones at the beach, but it is a business, and being an asshole to your models is bad for business. Have you ever wondered where these guys turn up models - I've seen one whose work is easily recognizable who must have used a hundred models. He did not proposition all those guys. They get referred by his previous models. That happens because he does not abuse his models.
Well, as to promoting the fantasy of taking advantage of broke people - well, isn't it really just a fantasy. I've paid for it and I've been paid for it. Sometimes I have been paid for it when I really needed the money, but I don't think I have paid for when the money was really necessary to keep someone from freezing or starving. It is often an ego thing - I can't do you for free because I am too pretty for you or because I consider my straight or something. It's like a straight guy gives a woman chocolates and she does him. It's a pity if she needs the chocolates to live, but better than 99% of the time, that's not the way it is. Maybe she wouldn't have done him if he hadn't brought chocolates, but it isn't exactly fair to say she did him for the chocolates.
Lots of people who like their jobs wouldn't or couldn't do their jobs for free. If I want to feel sorry for someone, it's guys who don't have the looks or the gumption to hustle.
