He just randomly popped into my head, and I was wondering what in the world ever became of him. Hard to believe, but it's been nearly 10 years since he worked briefly at the company. The only thing I really remember distinctly about him is that he was convinced the casinos in Las Vegas were cheating. I told him that they didn't have to cheat that mathematics were in their favor and that over time, they would ultimately win, but he just didn't care about that. Anyway, if you want to flash back to seeing Emmett without his clothes, go ahead and click the photo! Thanks for reading and have a great day! Matt Thursday - December 3, 2009 Ringtones!

In 2008, Bait & Tackle's goal was to "INNOVATE!" and innovate we did. While the behind the scenes things took some amazing new turns, you might have noticed yourself that the update schedule for SCM has taken a remarkable path itself. In the past month, the updates have occurred like this: Hadden Audition 11/01/08 Roark Audition 11/03/08 Frederick Audition 11/05/08 Monty And Paxton Watcher  Part 1 11/06/08 Marcel Audition 11/07/08 Monty And Paxton Watcher  Part 2 11/08/08 Litton Audition 11/10/08 Val Audition 11/12/08 Craven Watcher 11/15/08 Jerry Audition 11/17/08 Clark Audition 11/19/08 Mason And McKinley Watcher 11/22/08 Wiley Audition 11/24/08 Digby Audition 11/26/08 Cole Watcher 11/28/08 Richie Audition 11/30/08 Dale Audition 12/02/08 Franzel Audition 12/04/08 Cecil And Colin Watcher 12/06/08 Fritz Audition 12/09/08 Duke And Kevin Watcher 12/12/08 Ace Audition 12/14/08 Morris Butt Spurt 12/16/08

That's an amazing change, and it's not stopping there. To say we've been busy around here would be an understatement, and to explain what has been going on, I'm gonna let Dan, our Director of Model Recruitment, take over from here. (I know, someone besides me writing the Newswire : I told ya changes were in store!) Oh, and have a VERY Merry Christmas! -Matt Dan, Director of Model Recruitment Here...

Hello Everyone. I am the office's resident straight guy in charge of finding other straight men to try some "Not-So-Straight" things. In addition to finding new models and other duties, I also do my best to make sure SCM regulars like Kevin and Erik stay out of trouble while in Vegas. I would also like to take this time to clear up any questions you might be wondering: Yes, I'm really straight (don't ask how I got this job). "Bear," as I've been told. No, I've never auditioned. I've been complaining about the Newswire for months now and Matt is finally letting me toy with it. Don't worry - he will continue to add entries, but now I can chime in once in a while to add a different voice. So let's get right to it... As the Director of Model Recruitment, I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars this quarter making sure new guys keep walking into the studio. Some ideas were home runs, and some were strikeouts. I'll be spending the rest of the month reviewing all the methods we've tried this past year, tweaking some and trimming the fat. Luckily, I can also start working on new techniques, all of which will fit within Bait & Tackle's new mantra for 2009. Matt's already prepped the staff of what he wants for next year, and he will let you all in on it with next month's update. We've gained quite a local notoriety here in Vegas, and with it we plan on moving ahead full speed. Some unlikely doors have been open to us (which is nothing short of amazing as we are often referred to as "that porn company"), and with it will come new possibilities. Many doors have been slammed in our faces too, but we are making strides. I am eternally grateful that I am no longer "speaking" with the city's finest regarding one recruitment method that they just didn't understand was entirely legal. Believe me, we've got lawyers and know what we can and cannot do. Matt even met with the district attorney's office about it. We hired two new full-time employees since the beginning of last month. A new editor is making sure your favorite straight guys are looking and sounding their best. He was so committed to join the team that he moved from California and signed a one-year lease before his first full week ended. Max, from the Tropical Retreat series, has joined us full time in the office as well. He handles some of our customer service calls and operates the model switchboard. Having him run around the office for me and performing handstands on demand is just one more added bonus to working here. We are still looking to fill a few more spots, but with those two new employees going all out things are moving at a much more rigorous pace. The editors also convinced Matt to buy an additional video compression system, and along with that, we increased our upload capabilities in December as well. In plain English, it basically allows high-quality data (i.e., videos) to upload to the servers faster, which means they arrive to your screen sooner. If you look at the Preview and Auditions sections, you'll no doubt notice that the site is updated every few days now. It's a very expensive compression system ($6,000+) and generates a ton of heat, but it helps us make sure the quality and size of each video is not compromised in exchange for speed. I think (read, hope) you'll be pleased with us spending the extra effort. Santa Is Coming!

Get your mind out of the gutter people. It is that time of year, though. Max spent an hour digging around the storage room and later transformed the office into a completely festive mood. When we saw that he stacked a few presents under the tree, it reminded us to work on this year's gift to the members. So, here are a few pics of Max creatively spreading some holiday cheer. And on Santa's Naughty List...

A mindful member wrote in to tell us that Roy from the previous Newswire was sentenced last month. So I'm pretty sure you won't be seeing him naked anywhere else... unless you're his cellmate. Merry Christmas!

I guess that's it for now. This update is pretty long anyway - isn't about time to check out the latest video? I've got to get back to the dozens of other things on my plate, too. From all of us at Bait & Tackle, have a Merry Christmas and a very happy new year! - Dan Friday - May 23, 2008 An Interesting Week...

When I review audition tapes, I make notes about the specifics of the guy and how I think he might proceed with the company. Earlier this week, when Roy came in to audition, I wrote " he could be dangerous " in his notes and followed it with a question mark as I wasn't sure why I thought that. That's not a typical note for me. Even the super cocky homophobes don't strike me as dangerous, just boisterous and full of hot air, perhaps a bit of a challenge. Roy, however, had something ever so slightly off that made me uneasy. He seemed a bit too much of a drifter, but he was hairy and a real cowboy so I thought he was worth investigating further. We'd just need to be cautious. Then this morning, well...

Needless to say, it was a little bit of a shell shock. Breaking News... Just as I was writing this, he's been arrested. Wow... crazy. You can see these two photos uncensored in the Members Area now and you'll be able to watch Troy's complete uncensored video in the Members Area tomorrow. I realize, too, that not everyone will be pleased with Roy's debut. We auditioned him just like any other guy and did nothing to encourage anything illegal. Matt Wednesday - January 30, 2008 Christmas Cards!

A bunch of Christmas cards came in the week before and shortly after Christmas... but as each response card gets created specifically for the respondent (and requires models), the last batch hasn't yet gone out. We did the required "pre-work" on them and they should be in the mail next week. And hey, they definitely beat traditional corporate cards where the company name is printed in gold foil inside with a standard generic message. <g> T-Shirts

Everyone who requested a free t-shirt should have received it by now. Along with the t-shirts, we enclosed another little gift which seemed to make some folks very happy. "What was the gift?" you ask. Can't say. Just one of the perks for signing up for the mailing list. 2008 Innovate!

The goal for Bait & Tackle for 2008 is to INNOVATE! and we've got banners around the office to keep us focused on that. Indeed, the month of January is quickly coming to a close and several innovative things have already started behind the scenes here to increase the pleasure of your SCM viewing experience. Last week, the company spent $10,000 in the name of increasing quality and thousands more will be spent before we're done. This week we're testing out a possible new employee, and in the next two weeks, we'll be debuting a change you can easily see here on the site. Free SCM DVDs

Would you like five free StraightCollegeMen.com DVDs every month for a year? All you have to do is let us wrap your car with a Bait & Tackle advertisement. The wrap will consist primarily of the Bait & Tackle logo along with our tagline, "A Whole New Kind of Motion Picture Production Company... For Adults". It'll also have a domain name or two which will link to information about the company. All you have to do is drive your car as you normally would. Each month, you'll take a photo of your car (along with a current weekly magazine) and send it to us. We'll send you five randomly selected DVD's in return. By the end of the year, you'll have close to the entire collection without having ever spent a cent. We'll pay to have your car wrapped locally. If you're interested, drop a line with Your location (and your nearest major city if you live somewhere smaller)

The year, make, and model of your car (some are easier to wrap than others)

Your phone number (to discuss the specifics) to . We'll give you a call back to discuss all the details, and who knows, maybe we'll even do something a little extra besides the DVD's too. So, thanks, as always, for tuning in and stay tuned. More new guys are coming! Matt Thursday - December 6, 2007 Pumpkin Fucker!

There weren't a lot of clues, but if you'd seen the freckles on the other side, you probably would've had a good idea. It was Ashton. For some unknown reason, he just got the urge to "fuck a pumpkin" as he put it, and I figured I'd grab the camera. Hope you had a GREAT Halloween, yourself. Now it's Christmas Time!

Halloween has come and gone, but Christmas is fast approaching. We've already gotten several cards, but there are still 19 days until the big day. That's plenty of time to get yours in the mail and get a little something special back from us. The mailing address again is: Bait & Tackle

P.O. Box 15271

Las Vegas NV 89114 And, like I said before, by writing your date of birth on your card (a simple MM/DD/YYYY will do), you're acknowledging that you're over 18 and it's ok to send you back a response that's appropriate for adults only. Cards with dates of birth written on them will get a little something extra in their response, and writing your date of birth on your card also indicates that you wish to periodically receive advertisements via postal or electronic mail. As before with the t-shirts, each mailing will include instructions on how to remove yourself from the list, and your information will not be shared with outside companies. We just wanna send you stuff to keep us in mind. <g> And Model Recruitment Continues...

The company's Director of Model Recruitment has been doing a gangbuster job; there's even an audition occurring as I write this, and I offered a job to an additional video editor today as well. The company's growing, and new model recruitment methods are continuing to come onto the scene on an almost weekly basis. We're revamping some stuff on the site's back end, too, and 2008 is definitely looking bright. So have a GREAT rest of the week and hope you get snow for Christmas! Matt Wednesday - October 31, 2007 Happy Halloween!

Halloween SCM Style!!! Can ya guess which SCM regular is providing the tongue? <G> I'll tell ya next newswire update. Matt Thursday - October 11, 2007 Model Recruitment on Steriods

For the past few months, we've continued to invest a lot of time and effort into recruiting models... and thankfully, we're slowly cracking the safe. <g> We've expanded upon programs that have worked and continue to tweak those that have had even limited success. Last week, the police again "inquired" in a less than friendly manner what we were doing, being preconvinced that it was illegal, but this time a showing of a letter from our lawyer helped turn the situation around. No one was cuffed or went to jail, but I can tell you that if that does happen, a lawsuit will definitely follow. Lawsuits will likely happen anyway as we want to do more than we're currently allowed, but it's still a bit early on that front. We also just hired someone full time in the newly created position of Director of Model Recruitment. He's ambitious, conscientious, and dedicated to the task. Since he started last week, we've purchased $15,000+ in advertising for models, and new campaigns have already begun. We're gonna get a high throughput for StraightCollegeMen.com models and we're expanding beyond that with Bait & Tackle projects. With a workaholic, success-driven employee devoting his full time position to this model recruitment puzzle, it's gonna be solved. I have no doubt about it. Having just said that, I'm a little hesitant on revealing too much, but let's just say the new recruits, the new SCM freshman class as I called it before, are more correctly described as seniors... high school seniors! Yes, genuine high school seniors who are sitting in class right now, today if you're reading this on a weekday during the day. The first you'll be introduced to is an 18 year old now college freshmen, but the high school seniors will follow. I can't say more than that right this minute, but you'll believe it when you see it: starting after the next video, which is called "Introducing Bait & Tackle". Charity Auction Winner

The day at the Bait & Tackle studio for the winner of charity auction was a success. We got Duke to be here for eye candy, and the winner and his boyfriend both seemed and said they had a nice time. We might do something similar again next year, but I guess time will tell. Christmas Cards!

I know, I know. It's only October, but the end of the year always gets hectic. If you send us a Christmas card, we'll send you one back. And no, it won't be an impersonal pre-printed corporate type response. (If anything, you should know by now that we don't do things impersonally around here. <g>) The mailing address is: Bait & Tackle

P.O. Box 15271

Las Vegas NV 89114 And by writing your date of birth on your card (a simple MM/DD/YYYY will do), you're acknowledging that you're over 18 and it's ok to send you back a response that's appropriate for adults only. Cards with dates of birth written on them will get a little something extra in their response, and writing your date of birth on your card also indicates that you wish to periodically receive advertisements via postal or electronic mail. As before with the t-shirts, each mailing will include instructions on how to remove yourself from the list, and your information will not be shared with outside companies. We just wanna send you stuff to keep us in mind. <g> OK, time for me to head off for the night. Have a GREAT October and Happy Halloween! <G> Matt Thursday - August 16, 2007 "Put Your Hands In The Air! You're Under Arrest!"

That was the first thing yelled by the police towards two of the Bait & Tackle employees last month at the start of a profanity laced confrontation. Since then, I've met with the company's First Amendment and Vegas lawyers, been threatened by the cops with immediate arrest myself, and had a face to face meeting with the district attorney's office in hopes of getting everything resolved without lawsuits. What's it all been about: model recruitment. As with almost every adult company, how we recruit models is a well guarded secret, so I can't elaborate too much, but Vegas is a brand new ballgame. The methods employed in San Diego haven't worked here, and so we're redeveloping the ways we do it. Incredibly, we've already spent nearly a hundred thousand dollars on model recruitment since the beginning of the year, and the new methods we've developed have never been used by anyone, anywhere, for model recruitment or anything else. It may still take going to court before we get it resolved, but I'm hoping we've both budged a bit and can come to a common ground. I mean, like I said before, Bait & Tackle is about changing adult entertainment. I understand that's not going to happen without a few bumps along the way, but being arrested for legal activity isn't acceptable either. Dealing with lawyers, frazzled employees, and so forth has unfortunately taken attention away from getting the radio show going. We're still putting it together, but we didn't make the deadline of last month, like I'd hoped. $1775.00 Donated to The ACLU of Southern California

The day at the Bait & Tackle studio charity auction went for $1,775, and the ACLU of Southern California received the proceeds last month. The experience, for one lucky fan and his partner, will occur next week. We upgraded their room, tweaked their limo ride, and paid for the winner's companion's ticket, too. It should be a very cool experience. Free T-Shirts

We're extending the T-Shirt offer until the end of next month, so: To claim your shirt, all you need to do is send your name, address, preferred size (S, M, L, XL, XXL, or XXXL), and date of birth (must be over 18), along with the statement: I wish to receive the free t-shirt and understand I will periodically receive advertisements via postal or electronic mail. Send your e-mail to Each mailing will include instructions on how to remove yourself from the list, and your information will not be shared with outside companies. Offer valid until [September 30, 2007]* or until quantities expire. Must be a resident of the United States. [If you do live outside the U.S., just let us know and if you pay for shipping, we can likely send you a shirt on the house.] *New Date If you sent in your name and address, don't worry. The shirts will be heading your way soon! That Damn Vegas Mistress (And Egomaniacal Tendencies)

While the recruiting of new models has been a major undertaking, unfortunately, the Vegas mistress and egomaniacal tendencies have continued to take their toll on the SCM regulars. Just to give you an idea of the level of what's happened: I wanted one of the SCM regulars to be here for the charity auction experience. He, of course, wanted to know how much it would pay... but when he was told $500.00, that wasn't enough. $500.00 to simply spend the day here at the studio as part of a charity auction wasn't enough? That just doesn't fly in my book. It was fun while it lasted, but it's time for Lindsay Lohan to be put in her place. So you'll be seeing a new freshman class at SCM. We had an amazing 18 year old come in with his friends a few weeks ago, and it'll be a tall order to get him back, but we just got a new shipment of recruitment materials today. One way or another, school keeps going. If a university doesn't get the applicants it wants via its current methods, it changes methods: it doesn't simply close its doors and neither will we. Stanton: Coming Saturday (Or Earlier!)

Stanton, an adorable slightly cross-eyed red head, makes his Spurt Video debut later this week. You saw a bit of him in his audition, but in his Spurt Video, you'll find out that he was the high school quarterback who dated the cheerleader. He's intelligent, talkative, and has a very nice dick. Fun to watch, indeed! <g> So thanks for tuning in. There's never a dull moment around here, that's for sure, and hey, you do want to see that 18 year old, don't ya? <G> Matt Wednesday - June 13, 2007 Coming Out

Last month, I wrote the Newswire entry below, but the tone was too negative... so I didn't upload it to the server. Yet, without knowing where we've been, it's hard to tell ya where we are now and where we're heading. Read it, but make sure you read after that, too, to know where everything is now. Vegas: You're What's For Dinner

Saturday, May 12, 2007

When I moved to Vegas, I thought it was going to be a land of countless models, a great real estate purchase where we'd have the ultimate production/post production environment, and the easiest expansion of SCM ever. Unfortunately, the 10,000 square foot building the company purchased has been in plans check since August last year, and I've spent thousands upon thousands for everything from legal fees to a landscape architect required by the city to specify exactly what plants we'll be having in front of the building. I kid ya not: $1500 to specify the plants. Beyond the legal rigamarole, I've come to find, too, that Vegas is a seductive mistress with a knife in her garter. In each city in which I've lived, I've noticed there's a vibe that permeates everything, whether or not you're actively dealing with the cause of the vibe. In Los Angeles, everything has something to do with Hollywood. At a restaurant, your waiter is a part time actor. -- I've literally been in a restaurant while the waitress was on the TV playing in the background... on "Friends" no less. -- At school, your classmates are trying to get in the film school... to the point where I would introduce myself by saying that I wasn't trying to get in the film school. And at dinner parties, it's all about status. Who you know, what you've done, etceteras. It wasn't a place for me. In San Diego, the pervasive vibe is much weaker, but there's a sort of surfer attitude about almost everything. Deadlines are lax. People are very much into the outdoors. Life is pretty care free, all in all, and it's definitely not a bad place to be, but I was tired of living where the houses are one on top of the other and of having no ability to find a production space to buy for the company. Before I gave up, the last building I looked at was a former mortuary. So, I hitched up and moved to Vegas... completely neglecting the fact that Vegas is a seductive mistress that will eat you alive for dinner while simultaneously making you think you're having the time of your life. Don't get me wrong. You can have a great time in Vegas and go home eager to come back. But living here requires resolve... lots of resolve. Unfortunately, resolve is one of the things most of the models know least. In the past few months, the mistress of Vegas has seduced some of them into thinking that they can make millions on their own. One's already fallen out of that delusion about a month after he first fell for it, but the damage was done and it cost him his connection with SCM. Another performs in room "parties," marketing himself 5 years younger than reality among other things, after he made up some elaborate lie to me and the rest of the company about a new job he was taking as a sports bookie. He left owing over nineteen thousand dollars, and I feel like a schmuck for loaning it to him. I knew better, but I figured he was good for it and we'd ultimately work it off. Little did I know just how many lies were occurring right in front of my face. And yet another model, having also succumbed to the Vegas mistress, near constantly threatens that he's going to leave if I don't instantly do a shoot with him or loan him more money. He bounces from job to job, partying at a level almost unimaginable even here in Sin City, and indeed, he lived with yet another one of the SCM models until that one finally had to kick him out for not paying his rent. In short, Vegas is a land of easy self delusion, where those of little mindpower believe they'll be taking home the million dollar prize simply by jerking off. I hate airing dirty laundry. That's not my style. And I don't focus on the negative, so I haven't written a Newswire update in a while. True, some good stuff has been happening, but just as you're tired of hearing that change is coming, so am I tired of writing it. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm probably the most earnest workaholic they've ever met. I wake up and get to the office at 8AM and most of the time don't go home until 11PM or later. So, it's especially disconcerting when folks think that we've given up or don't care. I keep pushing for change and yet the desire to never let the quality slip keeps the changes from fully materializing. So, that's what I wrote last month. I didn't cinch it up right, and like I said, it was too down in tone, so I saw no need in uploading it. Now it's June 13th, 2007, and I figure just laying it out there on the line is how to go. In that earlier entry, I said that I thought Vegas was going to be the land of countless models. Indeed, I figured people come here for a weekend of throwing caution to the wind, and so, throwing their clothes to the floor would be an easy extension of that mindset. I figured I'd solve the frequency of updates problem with auditions, and not just solo auditions on the couch, but "with your buddy," "with your girlfriend," and "with another random guy" auditions. They wouldn't be as involved as the full length shoots, but they'd be more than a regular solo audition (which several members dismiss almost entirely). I don't get that as while solo auditions are not as great as a full length video, there's still a breadth of new guys and new dicks to see... but I have to deal with the reality as it's perceived. Heck, on that front, some folks get quite riled up when the auditioners aren't hot enough. These are auditions, and for what it's worth, the truly scary auditioners don't make it to the site even if they do make it to the couch. Yet finding models in Vegas has been near impossible... and we're out there in a major way, in a way never done before. Like I said back in October, Bait & Tackle is about changing the world's perception of what an adult entertainment company can be... and we can't change people's perceptions from inside the porn closet. It's been a bit scary, to say the least, especially with adult industry lawyers saying that they can't really give me a fully accurate opinion as "no one's ever done anything like this before," but I'm pushing forward. You see, our biggest, in your face, recruitment method for models is a billboard truck. Duke putting on the top right corner bracket on our first night. Ashton (on truck, left) and the Bait & Tackle staff switching out the billboard graphic. It drives up and down the strip, and the latest graphic on the side flat out asks, "Want to be a porn star?" I was worried especially about that one: that we'd get hassled by the police, but the driver reported nothing unusual last week, its first week out. We've gone through numerous iterations, with different appeals like fame, fortune, adventure, and sex, and yet our call rate has been abysmal. Other recruitment methods are occuring as well, but the slam dunk of getting Vegas models has been anything but. The important thing I want you to know is that we're far from closing down. I just figured focusing on the recruitment of new models would lead to the fix of the frequency problem... but it's time to rethink that. <g> And so, you will be seeing faster updates. We're redirecting the majority of our efforts from recruitment to directly, immediately, improving the customer experience. I'm putting a lot of trust in the editors: indeed, I didn't watch Tyler's preview until after it went online and we may hit a few bumps as I strive to keep the quality while increasing the pace, but there's gotta be a happy combination of quality and frequency. We will find it. Most immediately, you'll see an increase in your interaction with SCM with a weekday radio show. It'll have its first episode next month, and we'll be adding the ability to call in shortly after it begins. We'd like to give away 1000 Bait & Tackle T-shirts in exchange for adding you to a mailing list, too. To claim your shirt, all you need to do is send your name, address, preferred size (S, M, L, XL, XXL, or XXXL), and date of birth (must be over 18), along with the statement: I wish to receive the free t-shirt and understand I will periodically receive advertisements via postal or electronic mail. Send your e-mail to Each mailing will include instructions on how to remove yourself from the list, and your information will not be shared with outside companies. Offer valid until July 31st, 2007 or until quantities expire. Must be a resident of the United States. [If you do live outside the U.S., just let us know and if you pay for shipping, we can likely send you a shirt on the house.] And finally, Bait & Tackle would like to offer the opportunity to spend a day at our studio. With 100% of the proceeds going to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), we're having a charity auction for: An autographed Bait & Tackle T-shirt

Roundtrip Airfare

from any major airport in the continental United States to Las Vegas, NV

from any major airport in the continental United States to Las Vegas, NV Hotel Accommodations

two nights in a strip or downtown area hotel

two nights in a strip or downtown area hotel Limousine Transportation

Las Vegas airport to hotel and hotel to Las Vegas airport The experience will also include several photos, and knowing us the way I do, I'm pretty sure we'll end up at a casino or a bowling alley or a Vegas show before the day is through. The auction link is here and runs through June 23, 2007. You may be required to pass a security check and other terms, as listed in the auction, apply. Additionally, should the auction end for any reason before the listed end time, we reserve the right to re-list it and all prior bids become void. We also reserve the right to cancel the auction without consequence at any time due to fraud, harassment, or any other reason we, in our sole discretion, deem reasonable. Beyond that, the building plans were finally approved and we're now in the loan process. Construction should start within the next few months and we should have a state of the art, custom designed facility in early 2008. In closing, the company's growing, not shutting down. There are several Bait & Tackle staff openings still available. If you've got the skills to fill any of the positions listed in the job posting Newswire entry, we'd be happy to hear from you. Finding folks who fit in with the company and who have the skills is a tall order, but we know you're out there, so drop a line with your resume and video. We hope you're serious and would like to fly you to Vegas for an interview, too. It's an awesome place to work with hourly positions starting at $12.50 per hour and salaried ones beginning at $40,000 per year. So, like the headline said way back up there, we're "Coming Out," and as you likely know, coming out is never an easy process, but it's always, ultimately, a rewarding one. Hold on to your mouse, and keep watching.

You'll be able to say, "I remember back when..." <g> Matt Friday - December 29, 2006 Happy Holidays!

Hope you had a GREAT holiday season! Mine was pretty interesting. My uncle said a few months ago that he had some models for me. Knowing my uncle as I do, though, I was a little leery as he's the type that always has some angle to everything. He didn't have pictures of the guys, nor did he get me any after we talked, so I didn't give much credence to it. Anyway, I was back home for Christmas so I figured I'd make myself available if he wanted. Long story short, the guys were gay. He'd just figured that since the videos were guys doing stuff with each other, the participants must be gay. He'd never seen a video and didn't even know the name of the site, but when I explained how it worked, he and one of the guys pressed that they could pass for straight. I said that he probably could, at least initially, but I've spent five years establishing that SCM is all about real straight guys. It's just not worth it for one guy who looks good and could probably "pass", at least for a bit, just because he was a friend of a friend of my uncle. It was hot, though, when one of the guys asked if I wanted him to get naked for me or if I wanted him to jerk off in front of me. -- My uncle standing there, though, it was a bit on the odd side, too. Oh well, nobody can ever say my life's not interesting. <g> Employment Opportunities

Bait & Tackle hired its second video editor at the beginning of December, and the hiring process is continuing to add yet a third editor as well as fill other positions. Next week, in fact, I have high hopes to interview the next Bait & Tackle employee. He sent a really great introduction video, and he's flying in on Thursday for an in-person meeting. It's amazing how much one can tell from the video introductions. The effort he expended conveying a bit of himself lets me know that he's sincere about helping to establish a whole different kind of media company. As I said before, too, if you have experience with the positions listed below or have any skills which you think could be beneficial and you're sincere about coming to work for a company where you'll give 110% and receive 110% in return, send an e-mail with the PDF and the video. A video will at least get you a response and will likely get you an interview, too. Location Needed

Have a rural location available for shooting? Preferably it would have a lake or pond on it and be near Las Vegas, but no matter where in the U.S.A. it's located, Thanks for tuning in and hopefully I'll hear from you soon! Matt Sunday - October 1, 2006 Bait & Tackle

In December last year, I won a charity auction to meet a celebrity media mogul, and from the time I won the auction until I was leaving the studio in April, I was worried she'd find out about my day job. It ultimately went off without a hitch, but having to worry about it had me bound up in knots... and only furthered my resolve to differentiate StraightCollegeMen.com (and similar adult entertainment in the works) from the shunned "porn" category. If you're here, reading this, chances are you already appreciate the difference between SCM and some creepy guy with his camcorder taking advantage of the people in front of it, and while there'll always be bad porn, I know there's no reason that it all has to continue to be lumped into that dirty category. Just as there are different calibers of Hollywood studios, so are there different calibers of adult studios. But even beyond calibers, beyond levels of quality, there are those studios, those companies, which become ever present brands. Their names become shorthand for the product, the style, or the activity. They own the category because the nearest competition is so far behind. That's what will be required to overcome the stigma, the label. And so, with a determination to create a whole new kind of media company, one which will not fit within the bounds of any traditional mainstream movie or adult studio category but instead becomes the singular, definitive source for whole new kind of adult entertainment, I'm proud to announce the formation of To accommodate this new media company, a ten thousand square foot building has been purchased in Las Vegas and is undergoing an extensive remodel to create the ultimate production environment. When it's complete, new lines will be launching and you'll see not only your favorite SCM guys in new capacities but also a truckload of new folks as well. In short, it's going to be AWESOME! But the first step is to get quality people in place and traditional methods just aren't cutting it. I don't know if it's that same stigma which I mentioned or our quality standards being too high for most, but it's time to try something new. In short, if you've got a skill which you think could be beneficial to a company which has StraightCollegeMen.com as it's flagship, are a low drama individual, and are interested in spending your days in the best work environment ever, all you have to do is wow me. Yep, it's that simple. <g> Whether you're a computer geek, a graphic artist, or a brand manager, there's likely a place for you here... but you've got to make yourself stand out from the crowd and here's what you need to do. Impart Your Skills

Send a single PDF with your cover letter and resume. Impart Who You Are

Send a video file telling me what you like about StraightCollegeMen.com and what you think you could bring to the company. Sell yourself. Do something noteworthy. Pretend it's an audition video for a reality TV show. Anything. Just make it make me want to know more about you. Now, I realize that some of you probably don't have a camera attached to your computer and others have no experience with making a video. Unfortunately, that's a bit of one of the requirements. If you don't know your way around the computer enough to get a camera, install it, and send a video, you're not versed in computers enough to work for the new company at this time. Obviously, some jobs require more computer knowledge than others, but the more technical know-how you've got the better. Upon sending your e-mail with your PDF and video to and passing the first round, you'll be contacted for a telephone interview. Those successfully completing the telephone interview will be flown to Las Vegas for an in person interview and those successfully completing that will be hired. Currently, no employee at Bait & Tackle makes less than $20/hour. If you've got the skills, the job is definitely worth it. So, get cracking. Again, if you've got any skills which you think could be utilized at Bait & Tackle, e-mail. In particular, we're looking for these positions: Video Editor

Windows/Unix Programmer

Brand Manager

Adult Industry Liaison

Travel Coordinator/Guest Liasion

Graphic Designer

Webmaster

Authors/Copywriters

Model Recruiters

Bookkeeper

Videographer

Location Scout

Office Manager

Receptionist

Security Guard But like I said, if you have any skills which you think could be beneficial and you're sincere about coming to work for a company where you'll give 110% and receive 110% in return, drop a line with the PDF and the video. Thanks for tuning in and have a great rest of the weekend! Matt (Hint: PDF Creator is a freeware, open source program which allows you to print to a PDF file instead of a real physical printer.) Friday - September 29, 2006 SCM Men: Appearing Tonight

Ashton, Dean, and Duke from StraightCollegeMen.com will be appearing tonight -- That's Friday, September 29th. -- at The Piranha Nightclub in Las Vegas. Scheduled to begin at 1:30AM (it's Las Vegas, after all), the guys will be signing autographs, saying hi to fans, and will probably end up at least shirtless. <g> Tonight marks the second night of SCM appearances on the Freshmen 15 Tour (http://www.freshmentour.com/), a cross country series of excursions celebrating the 15th year of Freshmen magazine, and several other tour dates are coming where one or more SCM models will be in person to say "hey." Stay tuned here to find the upcoming dates and locations. Matt Saturday - August 26, 2006 Job Opening: Human Resources Director

If you've got experience running a human resources department and are interested in working for StraightCollegeMen.com, please forward your resume to Fantasy Fulfilled, Still Looking!

If you thought about participating in the questionnaire from the last newswire post but thought too much time had passed, you're in luck. I'm still looking for volunteers and everybody who already participated (and provided a phone number) got a call from Caleb last week. Several people weren't at home when he called, so he left messages, but I've a feeling Dean might be calling next to say "Thanks" for the help. Again, if you are interested in helping out, just drop a line to with the following info. The info requested below is the first round, but it'll help narrow things down. Name:

City, State:

Phone:

Gender and Sexual Orientation:

How out are you:

Age:

Favorite SCM Model:

Have a video camera at home:

In one or two paragraphs, why do you like StraightCollegeMen.com? As before, if you would attach at least one recent photo of yourself it would be appreciated. Anniversary Shoot!!!

The fifth year anniversary of StraightCollegeMen.com is fast approaching and where to shoot that mega video is one of the questions which fast needs solving. So, I'm looking for suggestions. Own a ranch in the middle of Montana or a house on a beach in Hawaii? Have a great back yard which is secluded and would work for a one day visit? There are lots of possiblities for what the anniversary shoot will entail and where it will occur. If you'd like to host the guys for a day even, stating that as well. The options are pretty limitless at this point, so let me know how you could possibly help out... if selected, you'll likely see a little eye candy in the process. <g> Keep on watching and have a great weekend! Matt Sunday - July 23, 2006 Interviews, Interviews, Interviews!

Thursday and Friday were spent interviewing potential candidates for new jobs here, and while most of them were not right for StraightCollegeMen.com, the jury's still out on a couple others. Before this latest round of interviews, I read a book about hiring the right person for whatever job you're hiring, and while I likely would've just gone with gut reaction before, I know now some techniques to get a better insight into how each candidate thinks and whether they'll fit. It's still certainly not my forte, but between the company director narrowing down the list of potential candiates and me coming in for the second interview, we will soon get it. Fantasy Fulfilled!

I've got an idea in my head... and all I can say at this point is that I need volunteers. If you're willing to fill out a questionnaire, you could get your SCM fantasy fulfilled. If you are interested in helping out, just drop a line to with the following info. The info requested is just a starter, but it'll help narrow things down to the right direction. Name:

City, State:

Phone:

Gender and Sexual Orientation:

How out are you:

Age:

Favorite SCM Model:

Have a video camera at home:

In one or two paragraphs, why do you like StraightCollegeMen.com? It would be most appreciated, too, if you would attach at least one recent photo of yourself. I can't say a lot yet at this point, but I guarantee that at least fifteen of the people responding to this will get a five minute personal call from Dean (or another SCM model should Dean get hit by a car or whathaveyou <g>). Auditions!!!

Checked out the auditions lately? They're flying out at a record pace. There's a bit of dependancy on the whim of the winds in how often new guys come in, but just keep your eyes peeled. You'll be seeing something fairly interesting there soon. As always, thank you for watching, and as I said last time, you ain't seen nothing yet! Matt Thursday - June 8, 2006 Change Is In The Air!!!

As you likely know, SCM is something of which I'm quite proud, and I want it to be the best it can be. Indeed, that's the biggest cause of some of its most aggravating flaws. It's not like I don't want to put a release out every week or that I sit around doing nothing. That couldn't be farther from the truth. It's just that I'm so insistent that the quality level not change that it's amazingly hard trying to hire folks to help. I hire them and I fire them. I then, of course, get aggravated that I took the effort to interview, hire, try to train, then have to fire... but now I've hired a company director who looks like he's going to work out. It's been a few months now, but as I was hoping, he's the liaison between what needs to get done and what I just don't have the time to do. The train's moving in the right direction. And two weeks ago, an editor (who I also think is going to work out) started. I spent an entire week just going over things with him and getting his brand new $10,000.00 Mac set up. The support and infrastructure's there. It's just a matter of finding the right people to keep SCM different. I'm proud of that difference, and I intend to keep SCM the most consistently high quality, real straight guy website out there. You've likely noticed, too, that the update didn't come out earlier this week which would have put it on "schedule." For that, I apologize, but I can say it's the calm before the storm. Like I said before, that train's on the right track, moving in the right direction. The editor has gone through two new videos already, and I've watched one to provide feedback. He really seems to get the nuances of the what makes us different, so I'm pleased. It's finally starting to all come together and I'm determined to keep the train moving, on the track, in the right direction. <g> New Billing Name!

In response to e-mails from folks wanting a billing name slightly less obvious than "STR8CM.COM" on their credit card statement, a new name of "2SCM BILLING.com" has now been implemented. Back in 2001, STR8CM.COM wasn't so obvious, but as movies such as Brokeback Mountain and the like have integrated with our culture, the straight/gay duality has entered the popular mindset. "2SCM BILLING.COM" should mean absolutely nothing to anyone not in the know, but it should still be pretty obvious if you're a fan of the site. The trouble with very obscure billing names is that people dispute the charges when they don't readily recognize the purchase. Knowing both the merchant and customer sides of the deal, I try to at least call and ask "what's this charge?" via the phone number listed next to it, but I also know from experience that sometimes the name is so obscure that you haven't a clue what it's for. If someone doesn't happen to answer the phone when you call, like say at 9PM, you might just be inclined to go ahead and dispute it. That leads to all kinds of headaches on both sides: here, your credit card is blacklisted in the payment system (which will prevent you from purchasing another SCM membership in the future, as well as from other sites using the same fraud scrubbing system). That may seem harsh, but that chargeback costs the company $25 from the bank in addition to the hassle. So, anyway, we've got a new billing name. If you sign up, you may just see it on your credit card statement. <g> The Next Update

In closing for now, I'm working on the next update, and it should be out by Tuesday at the latest. It's got a whole story beyond the video that goes with it: a solo 18 year old freshman from SDSU... but you can read about that with the video. Thanks, as always, for tuning in. You ain't seen nothing yet! Matt Thursday - March 9, 2006 A Little Something Extra...

Sometimes I get caught up in the way we do things and almost forget that not every website is renting islands, giving away a truck to one of the performers, or just generally being great with everybody involved. I mean, it just seems like the right way to conduct business, so that's what we do. But, every now and then, I have a really proud moment. Where I think, "Damn. We are different." This is one of those moments. So, while the audio track isn't even close to be completed, here's an in house draft of a music video, yes, a music video. Check it out. You'll be thinking, "Yeah, they are different"... and you'll be smiling. Download The Island Music Video - Sneak Peek Version

Running Time: 4 Minutes / 62 MB

Right Click then select "Save Target As..." to save to your hard drive.





Let me know what you think of it... and btw, that's Brian, the guy who answers e-mail, on the vocals. He wrote it, too. Matt Thursday - March 9, 2006 The Island Day Five : The Finalé

The finalé of The Island (and the awarding of the truck to one of the guys) is near... and if your computer's clock is set correctly, it'll be online before this counter reaches zero. It's another two hour long video, filled with nudity, spooge, and a little drama, too. You'll be jaw dropped at who gets kicked off and who ultimately drives home with his new truck. So, hang tight and thanks for tuning in! Matt Wednesday - February 8, 2006 Apples Versus Oranges

It's funny the volume of e-mail that comes in about the site. A lot is "this is the greatest site ever" in nature, like this "I've been a member for a while and I have to say your site is in a class by itself."

"My hats off to the boyz - I am left speechless. Another amazing video."

"The site just gets better and better. The island stuff is incredible."

"I've just watched The Island Day 3, and just have to write and tell you that it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen."

"The Day Three video was one of the most erotic unscripted videos I have ever viewed and enjoyed." And the rare mixed message, which really gets through: Since I wasn't shy about expressing my opinion about the Magic Shoot or bitching about the length of time between updates, I feel it's only fitting to let you guys know how much I enjoyed the latest update... A-Fuckin-mazing! Bottom line..I loved it. I still think the time between updates is excruciatingly long, but if Sonny can take it like a man..I guess I can. Seems like he at least got it a bit. <g> It is funny, though, how a vocal minority just don't get that updates on different sites are not created equal. The video which is next to come out on SCM is about two hours in length and contains four pairings. I could split that up into four different videos, each substantive enough to stand on its own, but instead, it works better in the context of "Day Four" so they come out together. Will the naysayers appreciate that it could've been four weekly updates? Nope. Long story short, I know everyone would love the video release schedule to be faster. But at the same time, quality is not something I'm willing to sacrifice. If quantity is the biggest concern, there are plenty of other sites out there. As for SCM, I've hired someone with production experience to help me hire others to get this into a well-oiled post production machine. Myself, I can deal with straight guys, but I have the worst luck hiring new folks. A guy was supposed to start on Monday: he wrote me yesterday saying that he'd accepted another job... AFTER I'd agreed to his staying with his current employer for two weeks notice and that a week off would be ok. I stopped looking for someone to fill that position after I thought he'd taken it, but alas, I'm still doing the job he would've done. So, I hear what you're saying, but writing in to ask when the Day Four update will come out does nothing to speed it along. In fact, it only serves to sort of discourage because no matter how hard I try, it seems like it's never fast enough. We really are working as fast as we can. The auditions just haven't been coming in lately. It's as baffling to me as it is to you. So, just enjoy the show and perhaps the new guy will have better luck hiring than I have. We'll get this puppy up to breakneck speed and keep the parts which make SCM different. Matt Thursday - November 24, 2005 High Definition and The Island

In the previous Newswire, I said the Anniversary shoot was scheduled to debut the 22nd of November. It was... and it's been an all consuming effort to get it to come out as soon as possible, regardless of how it may've seemed on the other end. <g> I can tell you that the most intense of the workdays began at 8:30AM and finished at 4:30AM the next morning. On that day, I didn't leave the loft and had pizza delivered. I've spent nearly every waking moment on the Anniversary Shoot in order to get it out in one week instead of the more typical three. Of course, also wanting the Anniversary Shoot to be the best ever, I shot it in High Definition. It's the first shoot shot in High Definition to debut on the site, and with it being the first comes the inherent problems with a switch (and with the move to HD also comes a move from Windows to Mac behind the scenes). None of the routine set up for standard definition video works with high definition footage. None of the software for standard definition footage works with high definition video. Etc. The move to HD alone would be enough to stress a boy to the point of exasperation. The move to HD while simultaneously working on the debut of the Anniversary Shoot (an hour and a half long debut that is) has been almost enough to send me over the edge, but I've hung in there. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, time stops for no one and I had to leave for Thanksgiving. I entrusted the BoySeeksGirl.com editor to bring the video home so that come the video itself would be viewable today. A few things are a little rough around the edges, and things like the placement of the break between Part 1 and Part 2 are not where I told him, but the video itself should be substantially a GREAT experience. One of those that's why I'm a Member of StraightCollegeMen.com experiences. So, if you've got a Membership, head on inside and find the videos here. 932 megabytes and an hour and a half of video are waiting for you! The particulars of the new HD based format have still to be figured out, but for now you'll need to play the clips in an MPEG4 compatible player. Quicktime works best. So have a GREAT day and just know that I'm working behind the scenes for you like you have no idea. I'm hoping to hire folks to help, but finding talented people to add to the staff seems near impossible. The guys and I'll keep on trucking, nonetheless. <g> Matt Friday - November 11, 2005 Happy 4th Year Anniversary!!!

StraightCollegeMen.com has now been online four years and it's been quite the journey. It's gone from a love seat in the living room of my apartment to a loft for shooting and another loft for day to day work. Today I interviewed a couple guys to possibly hire, more interviews are happening next week, and things are just really looking good. I'm happy to have made it to the start of year five... and, as the say goes, you ain't seen nothing yet. Speaking of which... The Next Release

Now, before the Anniversary shoot comes out (Scheduled: November 22nd), another shoot needs to debut. This shoot has been in preparation for over a year, involves three states, and well, the ending was of the boy's making. I must say that it's not for everyone. I don't want to reveal too much before it's ready to go next week, but suffice it to say... straight guy devirginized. Whether or not that's a little too much pain for you, the Anniversary Shoot will debut the week thereafter, so good stuff's coming no matter which way you like it. I'm sure most will like it when _______ takes it in the ass for the very first time in his life, on camera, but the Anniversary Shoot is a definite crowd pleaser. Here's a bit of teaser for that:



You'll have to wait to know more! Thanks, as always, for tuning in and have a GREAT weekend! I'll be working to get that ______ takes it in the ass shoot done, but thankfully I'll have Thanksgiving off. Have a great one! Matt Friday - October 28, 2005 Job Opening: DVD Author/Graphic Assembler

I often get e-mail from folks wondering if jobs are available behind the scenes at SCM. Most would just like to get to look at Dean naked in person (like he runs around the office without clothes all day <g>), but sometimes they're real interests. As such, I figured I'd post this job here as well as in the traditional channels. If you've got the computer skills and like SCM's content, perhaps this is the dream job for you. I know my job's the dream one for me. Here's the job posting: DVD Author/Graphic Assembler We need someone to take the content we've already created and assemble/convert it into DVD format. In short, you'll be:

- Compressing the edited video into MPEG2 format with the software & compression templates provided.

- Taking screen captures of the site and putting them into DVD menu screens. (Requires basic HTML manipulation and cut/paste/resize level of Photoshop/Fireworks skill.)

- Creating Flash-like presentation CD-ROMs. (Generate links, assemble graphics, insert video; drag&drop level software creation.) The most important skill for this position is the ability to dot every i and cross every t. To be selected for this job, you should be immensely comfortable on a Windows-based PC and someone whose attention to detail is at a level which gets ribbing from friends. If you're the least bit sloppy, this is not the job for you. Resumes with any sort of error will be instantly deleted. After a trial run working as an independent contractor, the selected candidate will transition to a full time position in our San Diego/Mission Valley area office. Compensation is commensurate with expertise and experience, but as described, this is an entry to lower mid-level position. If, however, you bring additional skills which could be a further asset to the company, the job title (and monetary compensation) can be expanded to include other duties. Only candidates submitting samples of prior work (graphic, website, photography, or whathaveyou) via e-mail and only those living in Southern California will be considered. In closing, this is a great opportunity for the right individual. You know the site, now come be a part of it. The atmosphere of our company is casual and relaxed, yet professional and production oriented. In all aspects of the business, we work on a simple, basic idea: We're happy. You're happy. There's no other way to do business... at least not around here. Best of luck should you decide to apply (and even if you don't). We look forward to hearing from you. Matt

Anniversary Shoot!

Shooting for the Fourth Year StraightCollegeMen.com Anniversary Shoot completed last week, and I can tell you it's a DOOZY. It was the most expensive SCM shoot ever, with the largest group of guys ever, and well, you're gonna be amazed at both the nude AND clothed happenings. Last year, the boys went to Hawaii. This year, they were kept in the dark until they got to the destination. (And, you can't know either 'til you get there in a couple weeks.) I will tell you that we had to be escorted in and off of the property and that well, you know how I'm always talking about this or that shoot "cost enough to buy a new car." <G> You'll just have to wait and see. The anniversary will be here two weeks from today and the debut of the anniversary shoot will be shortly thereafter! Get your memberships now as, well, there might be a membership cost increase with the debut, too! Thanks as always for tuning in and have a GREAT Halloween Weekend!!! Matt Saturday - July 30, 2005 $5000.00!!! $3000.00!!! $1000.00!!! Find the next SCM Poster Straight Guy and you'll be paid a finder's fee of $5000.00! Know an All American Stud with the chiseled looks of Dean and the go-getter personality of Caleb (and hopefully the hungness of Boston Paul and the hard on of Brett?) Or think you can find him? We're offering $5000.00 to the person who brings us the next StraightCollegeMen.com Poster Man as a little way of getting you directly involved in SCM's production. $3000.00 is your reward for second place and $1000.00 for third. That's $9000.00 up for grabs... all in the interest of finding the Hottest Straight Guy in America! For every guy you send our way and who completes a full length solo video, you'll be paid at least $100.00. To qualify for the $5000, $3000, and $1000, the guy you find must have never modelled nude for anyone else and be willing to sign an exclusivity agreement with SCM. We're looking for new, undiscovered real straight guys who'll ultimately go the distance. Don't worry about how open the guy is to the idea of doing a video with another guy. We'll take care of that. <g> The $5000, $3000, and $1000 search for the next SCM Poster Man ends October 31st, 2005, and SCM reserves all rights*, but the guaranteed at least $100.00 for finding a guy who completes a full length solo video is in effect until further notice. For the record, Dean and the guys aren't going anywhere, but we're constantly needing new models as well. In closing, I should point out the SCM's looking for this to become someone's new full time job as well. Demonstrate yourself with this and you could be the next StraightCollegeMen.com employee. Hey, why not let that not-the-least-bit-bashful personality pay off for you? $5000.00 is waiting with your name on it. Just be brave enough to start talking to the guy. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to drop a line to via e-mail . Helpful Info: SCM models are paid thousands of dollars and the videos are watched by both men and women. A series of bonus based pay options allow the models to do only what they're comfortable with. You give us the connection to the guy: We'll close the deal. <g> * - This promotion may be discontinued or modified at any time, without notice. Model recruiters are independent contractors and in no way represent StraightCollegeMen.com. Matt Sunday - July 3, 2005 BoySeeksGirl.com : July 4th Pricing!!!

Just debuted a price special for BoySeeksGirl.com in celebration of July 4th. Check it out. Thanks for viewing and have a great holiday weekend! Matt Saturday - July 2, 2005 BoySeeksGirl.com : Go!!!

We all have our babies. You know, those things which you, and only you, can handle because you want everything to be just right. SCM is my baby, and while I have given up some control in areas like the auditions, letting Dean shoot them and Casey edit them, I'm still nit-picky to the extreme in the full shoots, from the article accompanying the pictures to the edit of the preview video. Nothing less than 100% will do. But, ask anybody in television or film (I went to school in L.A.), and they'll tell ya; you can't keep growing by yourself. Part of growing a company, whatever that may be, is by giving up a bit of control to people you trust. As time goes on, you'll have more of a managerial function than an entire hands-on do-everything one. So, over the course of the past few months, I've assembled a team including everyone from an editor to a graphic designer for a new project. Their collective job has been to get BoySeeksGirl.com ready for prime time. My job with it: creative director. Nearly every decision that's needed to have been made has been made by me, but once this puppy's rolling (and NOW it is rolling), I'm just there to answer questions and make sure things stay on track. I won't watch every BSG video. I won't pick every picture, or write the paragraphs that accompany releases. In short, they'll be releasing each video, and I'll just be there if needed. You, however, can watch it all, if that's your desire. Each site has its own membership now as while they contain many of the same guys, they're quite different, with different appeals. If you want order, a plot, intensity of interaction, etc., SCM will much better fulfil that. If you're more into total voyeurism, what-happens-happens, and enjoy the fact that the guys are showing off for the girl and you get to watch, BSG fits the bill. Either way, they both have previews. You're already here, so you know SCM, but check out BoySeeksGirl.com and see what you think. There are a few very minor details left to be fixed, like making the shopping cart look like the rest of the site, but they shouldn't detract too much from the experience. Brian will be handling customer service for both sites, now, too, and as always, you're welcome to drop a line with what ya think. Just e-mail by clicking here . DVD's, DVD's, DVD's

The store is chock full of DVD's now... and so is the warehouse. If you want Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 17, 21, 23, 24, or 27, you're in luck! Others should be coming from the duplicator, but dealing with them has been an ordeal, to say the least. They'll be added as they arrive, so keep checking if a title you want isn't yet available. Guess that's it for now. Have a GREAT Fourth Of July weekend and thanks for reading... Oh, and if ya read all the way down here, well, here's a hint, the next video has Hugh in it and it's all about his ass. (That was a little more than a hint, wasn't it? <G>) It'll be out next week... and another video will follow about a week later, as Hugh's is a Spurt video. Fifteen minutes of Hugh's ass... hmm... damn I love my job. <g> Matt Thursday - June 2, 2005 Everybody's different... <g>

When people ask me about who's the most popular guy on the site, I explain that Dean is like Vanilla ice cream. Boston Paul is like Rocky Road. Nearly everybody likes Vanilla, but only some people like Rocky Road. For those who do like Rocky Road, they like it a lot more than Vanilla. Those who don't like Rocky Road, really don't like Rocky Road and would rather have no ice cream at all. Dean is more universally appealing, but Boston Paul is more polarizing. The folks who love him really love him and would take him over Dean any day, but other folks don't care for him at all. This latest shoot has been like Boston Paul. Brett, Paul and Dean were an extraordinary amount of fun. Absolutely hilarious.

I like most of the videos on this site. But the latest installment, May 28, 2005 is the worst video I've seen anywhere in a long time.

You guys are completely nuts! I never laughed so hard, my side still hurts as I'm typing this e-mail... This is why I just love this site. You guys do such original things! When the food fight really began, it was a nonstop fit for me. My computer happens to be in my lover's bedroom and he thought I was losing my mind. He said I sounded like some lunatic as I was laughing non stop. I must be nuts as I would cackle even louder whenever one of the guys gagged. I can't remember when I laughed so hard. Matt you are a genius, thank you! I hope you give this episode priority status for getting it on DVD for the store. Thanks for the hours of super entertainment you provide the membership. You've got me for the long haul!

This past video was a waste of film, certainly not at all erotically interesting, and put us through seemingly endless minutes of arguing about the challenges, and horsing around, and wound up with the three jacking off side by side on a bed

I have always loved your site but I wanted to take a moment to tell you what a great job Dean and the guys did with their food fight. They most certainly looked like they had a really great time.

Probably the worst thing on the whole site. Passing gas is a major turn-off. I love hairy men (wish you had more of them), but Boston Paul is gross!! Sure wish Dean would stop shaving his body.

Hands down as the funniest video Ive ever seen. The interaction between Brett, Dean and Paul, especially during the food fight, was fantastic. Needless to say, I quite enjoyed the shoot. "Probably the worst thing on the whole site." versus

"Hands down as the funniest video Ive ever seen."

You can understand why a boy could go crazy listening to all the voices. <g> At least there's ones like this, from three days ago: I have visited this website many times (I think I might account for about 1 million hits on your counter) and have watched almost every preview clip on the site. I kept telling myself that I would buy a membership to scm later. Well, later finally came, and I don't know why I waited! The difference between previews and member content is incredible. I have only watched a few of the full videos so far, but I already know that I will not regret joining this site. So needless to say, I really liked the food fight shoot, and well, ya can't please everybody all the time. Again, as I said in the article with the Food Fight, "if you want that fantasy ocean front property in North Dakota, several other sites will be happy to sell it to ya." SCM ain't generic gay guys pretending to be straight men who then magically always have hardcore, passion filled sex with one another... or with their brothers. <G> — Heck, if they're telling a story, they might as well make it a good one. More DVD's Arriving!

Volumes 17 and 27 should be arriving later today and will be added to the store shortly. Others are coming next week. Oh, and the initial round will go through Volume 30, for what it's worth. Have a great rest of the week, and, as always, thanks for tuning in! Matt Wednesday - May 25, 2005 Take SCM With Ya! <g>

Watching SCM on your computer is nice, but why not take it on the road, too? Starting with the next full length video (which should be out early next week), SCM is trial offering the current video in the format used by Sony®'s PlayStation® Portable (PSP). Put it on your Memory Stick Duo card and you can take the video with you... to your office, on a business trip, or to watch during your evening commute. <g> Of course, how nice would I be if I told ya about being able to play SCM videos on your PSP if I didn't offer ya a video to check it out. Granted, it's the preview for you as you're still out here reading, contemplating signing up and enjoying the full length videos (with all the good parts), but seeing Dean and Sonny on the PSP screen is pretty darn cool, if I do say so myself. <g> Download

Sonny And Dean Preview - PSP Format Unzip the file, with the directory structure, then copy the folders to the main directory of your Memory Stick Duo.

Make sure the MP_ROOT directory that you copy over is NOT within the "PSP" directory. The file location should be something like e:/MP_ROOT/100MNV01/M4V72002.MP4

If you're having problems, basically, the PSP requires videos to be on the Memory Stick Duo, within the folders /MP_ROOT/100MNV01/.

If the files didn't unzip with the folder names intact, just go to the root directory of your Memory Stick Duo. Create a folder called MP_ROOT. Within MP_ROOT, create another folder called 100MNV01. Put the video files within that folder, and the PSP should find them once the Memory Stick Duo is in the PSP. (Those are O's in MP_ROOT and the number 0 in 100MNV01, btw.) So, to recap, the files are

/MP_ROOT/100MNV01/M4V72002.MP4 and

/MP_ROOT/100MNV01/M4V72002.THM If your card reader makes your Memory Stick Duo appear as your E: drive, then the files should go to

E:/MP_ROOT/100MNV01/M4V72002.MP4 and

E:/MP_ROOT/100MNV01/M4V72002.THM . Enjoy! Oh, and if you do sign up, you'll see that I've made the current full length video (Sonny And Dean) available in PSP's video format as well. The members needed something to try out the PSP video, too! <g> More DVD's Available!

Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 are now available in the online store. If you order one, it'll be packed and shipped by none other than the resident SCM poster stud, Dean. <g> Come on, order one: the boy's gotta earn his keep somehow. <G> BoySeeksGirl.com

It's in the home stretch... woohoo! The ETA for the mega grand opening is next month. I'm in the process of tweaking the edit structure, but basically, it's almost done. Keep your fingers crossed! That's it for now! It's almost midnight and I've got a full day ahead of me tomorrow. Have a GREAT day and an awesome Memorial Day weekend! Thanks for watching! Matt Saturday - April 30, 2005 Remain Calm! <g>

In the past few weeks, auditions have been flying out at a rapid fire pace, and I'm working on a system whereby the full length videos also come out faster than they do currently while not sacrificing quality, but you know that old phrase about it being impossible to please everyone all of the time. It's true; ya can't really please some folks without ticking off others. With that said, remain calm. EVERYthing that's changing around here is changing for the better. (Seems every time there's the slight bit of a change around here, people freak. <g>) For example, one of the things people sometimes ask for is that the Sneak Peek page come out sooner than a day or two before the full release. Indeed, that would be ideal, but in the current production schedule, the pictures are one of the last steps completed before the release. Due to the time needed to compress the video, and to edit the preview together after the video is done, it just makes more sense that way. This past week, I sorted the pictures first then made the grids and uploaded the Sneak Peek for the members, before the video was edited. It didn't flow nearly as well behind-the-scenes, and now, Brian's been fielding numerous e-mails non-judgmentally asking when the full length video will debut and from folks complaining that it's been more than the customary couple of days. Add in the release of Duke's Spurt Video and folks complaining that the Sneak Peek page didn't match and that they're hoping that this doesn't replace what was on the Sneak Peek page, and a customer service guy could go bonkers. Again, remain calm. Everything is changing for the better. Duke's Spurt video is supplemental. It doesn't have a preview video, it doesn't have a picture grid, and it doesn't have a Sneak Peek. The Sonny And Dean video will come out, on schedule, completely uneffected by the additional Spurt Video. Spurt Videos are additions to the site, and you'll be seeing more of them. Some of them will be better than others, and the only thing they'll all have in common is that they're shorter than the full length videos. As for the home videos, some folks really like seeing the guys in their own environments. Others don't appreciate the stationary camera and bad lighting. Can't please everyone. If you do like them, which hopefully you will, that's great. If you don't, you haven't lost a thing. Just know that, as always, SCM will continue to be something different. DVD Update!

Volume 1 is now back from the duplicator and ready to ship. It will be added to the store next week, and more Volumes are on the way. Each will be added to the store as it's available, and all those "Coming Soon!" graphics will soon be a thing of the past. (Volume 2 is scheduled to arrive here on Monday and Volumes 3 and 4 left the duplicator's warehouse on Friday. They're coming! They're coming!) BoySeeksGirl.com

Employment of the guy editing BSG videos just didn't work out. Regrouping is currently in progress for 2BSG and things are moving forward. I'm as anxious as you are to get it out there, but again, quality is paramount and won't be sacrificed for a non-stop barrage of half-assed crap. If you're looking for that, there are plenty of sites out there ready and waiting. So, the train is moving forward, and other behind-the-scenes things are happening which'll leave ya smiling (and doing a little "something else") when ya see 'em. Thanks, as always, for viewing and enjoy the show! Matt Thursday - March 10, 2005 New Employees

The loft is bustling with new employees, but, as is almost always the case, training takes longer than doing it myself. -- Of course, the long term goal of not doing everything oneself makes training worthwhile. So, long story short, a new guy will be editing the auditions together and betwixt Dean and him, those puppies will be flying out. Further in the new employee department, another guy has been working on creating the DVDs, and those will finally be purchasable by next month. Some volumes are already at the duplication plant and others will leave to be duplicated early next week. They're awesome DVDs, if I do say so myself. Next Up

Next up is probably the most erotic video I've ever shot. I don't want to say more right this second, but next week you'll be jaw dropped and flabbergasted and dumbstruck. I was. "Who's in it?" you ask.

— Sonny and Caleb. BoySeeksGirl.com

The same guy who's editing the auditions will be giving the BSG videos a shot, too. We'll see how he does, but fingers are crossed. I mean, he did get the job based on editing skills, so odds are good. <g> Sorry I haven't been more communicative via the Newswire lately. If it makes anything better, just know I've been working until about 5AM lately... and starting my work day at a normal 8AM time, too. I'm not gonna let a little setback get to me and SCM is going to be coming out raring full force! Matt Tuesday - December 28, 2004 Behind The Scenes

Things are still rolling along here, but sometimes I think it sure doesn't pay to be nice. A few weeks ago, I found the person I was going to hire to help me out with the updates, but he said he needed to finish the freelance project he was working on as he felt that was the right thing to do. I understood and a bit later, after offering him the job at the salary he was requesting, I also understood when he said with the holiday and the other job taking longer than he was expecting, he'd like to start in January. Tonight I got an e-mail saying that he'd taken another job offer. Screw me for being nice. Indeed, experience has shown that I should've kept looking, hiring someone else if they came in for an interview, someone who seemed like an equal or better fit, even if I had offered him the job. Instead, I did what I thought was right and planned on having a rough patch now but that everything would be back to normal in January. Sometimes I do wonder why it so hard to hire people when anyone who works for me will tell ya I'm the best boss they've ever had. <f> Hawaii: Day Three should be out by Monday, and I'll be working like a madman until then getting it done. So, please, save your keystrokes of writing in to complain about the lack of an update. It won't make it go faster and it'll only serve to discourage us both. Again, folks who know me know I'm a workaholic, and the discrepancy between them knowing that and the e-mails complaining that no one's doing anything are almost more than a boy can take. I don't know what else to say. I'd certainly hire someone tomorrow if they knew what they were doing, but I can't do anymore than what I am doing now. And when it rains...

I fired the guy who was making the DVD's. I spent hours correcting his work. Having to check each and every thing actually takes more time than doing it myself. BoySeeksGirl.com - Holding Pattern

Haven't had any luck in that department either. No one's looking for jobs much in December, but hopefully now that Christmas has passed, my In box will be filled with applicants. Things are still happening around here. I haven't closed shop. Hawaii Day Three will be nutworthy. If you honestly feel you haven't been getting your renewal's worth, e-mail Brian and he'll extend your account for you. Again, sometimes things just don't go the way I'd hoped. Matt Sunday - December 5, 2004 Hawaii: Day Two - Coming This Week!!!

Long story short, my helper quit. As such, I've had to do all the normal stuff I do plus his job. The result, it's taken a little longer than the normal three weeks to get the next Hawaii update out. To the e-mails that've come to Brian saying that we're sitting on our duffs, I'm a workaholic and SCM is my full time job. Considering that the updates not being quicker is almost exclusively the only complaint I get, if I could get them out faster while maintaining the same quality level, I would. It would just make sense, financially and customer happiness-wise. I mean, is there any facet of the site where it seems like pleasing everyone is less than my priority? <g> As I've said before, the videos around here are different. Hawaii: Day Two is 73 minutes long. That's at least three times the length of the competition's. Add in an article that's pages in length as opposed to a paragraph or two, picture grids, a video preview, etc. and it starts to become clearer as to the time difference. As a recent e-mail from a customer said: "Say ... When is DAY TWO going to roll around. Dude I'M DYING !!!! I went to that other [name of site removed] piece of sh*t site and the only thing that sucks is THEM. HO-LY! [webmasters' names removed] need to like do SOMETHING else. Nothin' comes close to 2SCM ..." Nothing does come close to SCM. Quality takes time, that's about all I can really say. For what it's worth, the renewal fee on SCM is lower than almost all the other "straight guy" sites. Amazingly, some folks write in thinking they're paying $54.95 a month. No matter how you sign up, the renewal's less than $20/month... all the way down to $12.95. Anyway, just wanted to write to say that I'm on top of it. I am working. I'm working on Hawaii: Day Two. I'm working on finding a replacement employee. I'm working on getting things on the site which are still good to watch but take less time in the pre and post production departments. Hang in there and appreciate it for what it's worth instead of simply letting quantity win out. <g> Lots of DVD's - January 2005!!!

I've hired someone to take all the content and put it together for DVD's, creating the on-screen menus and compressing the video into DVD format. A graphics designer is taking care of the box art and I'm working with someone else on the back copy/text of the box. In short, more volumes will be available in January. I'd anticipate all the volumes in the store being available by February 2005. BoySeeksGirl.com - Editor Hiring

I've not had a lot of luck finding an editor for Boy Seeks Girl . The interviews have either gone no where or they've had previous engagements which they're still doing until later this month. Hopefully someone will be in place in the near future and BoySeeksGirl.com will be rockin full force soon. So things are happening! Some of which I can't mention yet, but indeed, the past few weeks have been some of the most forward looking, ass-kicking ever! Folks looking to purchase DVD's will be seeing the results soon! Matt Thursday - November 11, 2004 Third Year Anniversary Today!!!

Today's the third year anniversary of StraightCollegeMen.com and I'm psyched!!! Turns out, I had misplaced a tape, so Day One's a lot better than I was expecting. But even before I found the night cam tape, watching the Day One video again, it's better than I thought. I must've just been grouchy for some reason, and hey, it happens. A boo boo in someone addressing his e-mail this week ended up with us getting a complaint letter to another straight guy site then fifteen minutes getting one complaining about SCM from the same guy. Guess he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and thought he'd complain to everyone. <g> At least the one to SCM was less intense. <g> So, the video's better than I talked about last week and there's an additional part. As you'll read soon read, And that is how I thought Day One ended... <p> But I found another tape. Taken with the night camera, it was labelled "###### 10," and Day One finished with "###### 2." Whoa... that was close. I almost let the ### part of the story slip through. Wouldn't wanna spoil the suprise, now would I? <g> So... get your motor revving. Three years and I still love, love, love my job! Matt Wednesday - November 3, 2004 Third Year Anniversary: Day One In The Works

Having just put together the first draft of the Day One video, I have some less than stellar news: It might not leave you as mouth dropped as I'd expected. It's enjoyable and definately worth watching (about an hour in length), but it's like the first act of a three act play. It'll get ya into it, but it won't send ya over the edge: that's for the second act and finale. So, I hate that I already said it'll likely leave ya sitting in amazement, that's overselling it, even though, it indeed might. The Third Year Anniversary shoot is likely the most expensive shoot ever done on a straight guy site. But the enthusiasm experienced by the guys and I of "getting there" didn't come across on video as well as I'd hoped. I mean, it indubitably left the guys and I awestruck in real life, but the ordeal of getting five straight guys on a pla... oops, almost wrote too much, was an expenditure in several different ways. Day One was largely spent getting there, unpacking, setting up, and so forth. That said, the stuff that comes AFTER Day One, well, of that I'm sure it'll leave you pants dropped, awestruck, and telling your friends, but next week's video might be more in the setting up than the revelation department. Just wanted to let you know. Customer Service Brian!!!

Been meaning to mention that a new guy is handling e-mail now. Well, he's not so new in my life; he's actually an ex of mine, but he's now working for the company and handling customer service e-mails. And in case you can't tell, I'm working on getting things together so that everything flows better. As a one man show, it's an almost insurmountable amount of work. As always, have a GREAT day, and thanks again for your interest! Let Brian or I know what you think of Boy Seeks Girl, too. Matt Sunday - October 31, 2004 "The Webcam Thing"

Yesterday, upon the debut of the Duke, Dean, And Caleb video, I sent out an e-mail to all the folks on the Site Update Email list. In the e-mail, I announced the video and gave the link to go directly to it. With that information, everybody on the list would be the first to know about Duke's Initiation, but I also provided a little something extra. I told them how to see the "webcam thing." Indeed, the "webcam thing" has been online for quite a while, but it's been designed, redesigned, and honed until, well, it would've been ready for a "Grand Opening" announcement next month. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, it got brought up in Duke's conversation with me, so the cat was out of the bag. <g> Not quite ready for the barrage of folks who'd view it once it was announced on SCM, I frantically put together a very scaled back version of the site, edited together a highlights type video, and set up billing. A bunch of technical issues ensued, but sure enough, by Friday, the "announce it on SCM" lite version was ready. So, folks on the newsletter list got a link to Boy Seeks Girl with the e-mail first, and here's the more "everybody knows" announcement now. http://www.boyseeksgirl.com. The official "Grand Opening" version will appear in December. Before that time, I must hire a group of people to handle the work. SCM is my baby. BSG is an idea I had that I'm executing with the help of others. A graphics designer is helping with the site mechanics, an editor will be taking the raw footage (about two hours each shoot) and getting it down to something more manageable (probably around 30-45 minutes). So, check out the site and see for yourself. Membership to BSG will get you access to SCM during this limited time offer, and an SCM Membership will let you see the 10 minute video at Boy Seeks Girl. Boy Seeks Girl

Real guys looking for real girls for a little "I'll show you mine, if you show me yours." It's not your typical webcam. Third Year Anniversary!!!

SCM's Third Year Anniversary will be here in less than two weeks, and I don't know if the video will be released right on November 11th, but the shooting is done, and well, I don't wanna spoil anything, but it's the most freaking awesome shoot ever. Day One, which will be the first to be released, will be the most tame of the series, of course, but it'll still likely leave you sitting in amazement. You guys have helped to make SCM a GREAT place to be and this is an awesome reward for you, me, and the guys. Damn! I LOVE my job! Matt Monday - October 4, 2004 Please VOTE!!!

If you enjoy looking at what you want to look at, or think two guys can just as easily be married as a heterosexual couple, you should get out and vote this coming election. In recent months, George W. Bush and John Ashcroft have declared a "war on porn." "Obscenity: For the first time in 10 years, the U.S. government is spending millions to file charges across the country." Read The Entire Article At The Baltimore Sun:

That's right. Million$ of taxpayer dollars. Of course, millions being spent on obscenity prosecutions notwithstanding, Ashcroft and his advisers have simultaneously developed a more "sure fire" weapon against adult material. Legal red tape. In short, all producers of adult content are required to keep copies of IDs and the like which prove people appearing in the videos are over 18. If the government suspects a model isn't 18, all they have to do is contact the company and find out his or her driver's license number, birthdate, etc. Simple enough procedure. Well, earlier this summer, Ashcroft proposed changes to the record keeping requirements (within the PROTECT child protection act, which easily passed in Congress), and the new requirements are almost undebatably designed to red tape the industry to death. Check out this article from Wired Magazine about the proposed changes to the record keeping requirements: "Porn Law Draws Adult Sites' Ire" Industry lawyer Lawrence Walters is quoted in another article about the changes, "The purported reason for the regulations and their intent is to protect children [from appearing in pornography]. But if thats the focus, lots of the regulations dont. How does it protect children if a webmasters place of business, where the records are stored, has to remain open 365 days a year, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.?" Exactly. In closing, SCM will be there, indexing records and following laws as required, but the whole thing is a lot of bullshit promulgated by the current administration to shut us down. There's a reason why you see "REGISTER TO VOTE!" links on virtually every adult site. YOU have got to make the difference, and as the last election showed, you CAN make the difference. http://www.declareyourself.com/

http://www.registerandvote2004.org/ And one more thing, if Kerry wins, there'll be a special EXTRA SCM video. Heck, I might even be so happy that I make the preview pants droppingly fun. So, member or not, get your butt registered and vote. Seriously. I did, and I will. Matt Friday - September 24, 2004 Political Correctness Is Hooey

It never fails to amaze me how people can get all bent out of shape when anything is said about race, branding the person an instant racist if race is even mentioned, but my recent comment about Bo's Audition got some pretty outraged panties in a bunch. The bafflingly ironic icing on the cake is that I finished the paragraph with a positive endorsement. Of course, you'd be hard pressed to find an e-mail in my In box complaining that SCM doesn't have guys who are over 35, fat, missing an appendage, Amish, bald, or gay. No one writes in to say that I'm sexist because there are no women on the site, or agist, or fat-phobic, or homophobic, but the minute I even mention something about the guys on the site being white, I get "how could you!" e-mails, threatening total outcry and membership cancellation. Diversifying to include everyone pleases no one. There ARE sites with ALL black guys, but I can bet the webmasters of those don't get e-mails calling them racists. What's the difference? There is none... except somehow I get labelled as a bad guy. You come here to see a very specific something, and I'm intent on doing what I do well. That's the brilliance of the Internet. You can find exactly what you want to see, whether it be straight white guys or black gay guys or transexuals wearing fishnet pantyhose. Embrace the Internet's ability to provide the specifics that you want to see instead of critiquing it for not having the politically correct blandness of "say nothing, mean nothing" government and higher education. Matt Wednesday - September 1, 2004 Caleb And Dean: WOW!!!

StraightCollegeMen.com's third year anniversary is fast approaching (November 11th), and, well, I don't want to spoil anything, but suffice it to say that you will be fucking blown away. Three years at this job have been great and to celebrate, I've got a jaw-droppingly awesome thank you in store. Keep your eyes peeled and I'd suggest getting a membership now as the prices will likely increase. Yes, it's gonna be that great. Thanks, as always, for tuning in! Matt
