Dead Gay Porn Stars

The question is....can you cum to a dead gay porn star?

OMG....I can't stop crying. So many beautiful whores who contributed so much to society......gone. I'm gonna tweet Rosie this. She'll make a decoupage piece out of it on her socials.

Dead meth whores

"Dead Gay Porn Stars Memorial"

The world didn't need this.

Poor Mike Branson

They didn't deserve such a sad end and thank God they are being remembered..

Is there anything more dignified than a YouTube tribute? We should all be so lucky when our times comes. Or cums, depending on the subject matter.

I don't have issue with porn stars. I feel bad for them. There is no such thing as a psychologically healthy and emotionally sound porn star. They are ALWAYS damaged in some way.

Lovely

It's sad that we mock them when they didn't really start out life with the a good mental state.

First, they went into porn because there's a demand for porn--a demand that WE on DL supply.

DLers go on and on about how we love certain stars with their perfect bodies and cocks

When they die, often by suicide because they never had a full deck and they're in a hated profession, we make fun of them.

Sad all around.

And, no, I cannot cum to a a porn actor whom I know has died.

Sad that these outwardly beautiful men could only find jobs in the porn and escorting industries.

Please explain r5. I didn't see that Mike Branson died in the video

I can ONLY cum to dead porn stars.

Some of these guys who suicided or overdosed I thought was partially due to finding out they had AIDS. I though Joey Stefano and Eric Stone being cases in point.

Well, THAT was depressing!

What's with all the meningitis?

The music was " From the Band Played who on" Beautiful music I thought

The saddest death of a porn star was the beautiful tall top guy I think he was from Czechoslovakia who blew his brains out he was a beautiful man I think in New York I can't member his name

Are you thinking of Arpad Miklos, r18?

So many died of heart failure on their 30s and 40s. That's odd. And why so much liver disease?

I thought Arpad Miklos was Hungarian ?

[quote]And why so much liver disease?

Mayo Clinic: Factors that may increase your risk of liver disease include unprotected sex, heavy alcohol use, injecting drugs using shared needles, tattoos or body piercings, exposure to other people's blood and body fluids.

All parts of a typical day for many porn stars.

Mike Branson is not dead. He didn't age gracefully. Last pic I saw of him (and this was years ago) he looked like Charles Bronson.

Thank you yes his name was Arpad . I met with him about a year before he killed himself I never meet up with famous porn stars because I don't like being one of their hook ups throughout the day he was friendly but troubled when I met with him but it was still a great time it could not have been an easy life for him at age 45but he still looked amazing I was sad when I heard he killed himself

NOT JOEY BUT TONY STEFANIO ... I wonder if he still alive I remember he was in a movie called pizza delivery boys he's a tough Italian guy he straight gay for pay and I met him in New York and then he came to Los Angeles and I met with him a couple times he liked feminine Asian men which I am not and he worked for a while at the troubadour as a bartender and then I lost touch with him he was a real fun guy smart and hot

When people on this thread say they "met" with a porn star, they mean they hired the star as an escort, right?

Arpad was, for me, the most beautiful porn actor I had ever seen

R22 plus hepatitis is spread through unprotected anal as well

Don't Gay men get Hepatitis shots. I got my A and B and still am amune and I heard Hep c is still considered more of a blood thing more likely from needles?

Errol Flynn boozed it up and slept with everyone and he lasted until his late 50s. Why do these guys drop dead so much earlier.

[quote]I heard Hep c is still considered more of a blood thing more likely from needles?

Hep C is more easily sexually spread between HIV+ people for some reason. Rough sex, fisting and sex toys can also facilitate transmission through blood.

R26 yes I MET with him ..Arpad ..meaning I HIRED him .....happy now? 0h it was $300 ..... Oh but in typical elder data lounge conversation postings I must state that I never pay for sex I'm 55 but look 25 and he refused the money because he said someone as incredibly good looking for my age as I am should not be paying for sex but I insisted ...there now are you happy? Lol YEEEEZ

Probably most of them were not screwed up but regular guys. Sad that people choose a memorial thread to cast shade on people who died.

The liver issues cited are likely due to Hep C, which you can have for literally decades with no outward manifestations. In fact, there are more Hep-C+ than HIV+ people in the world. However, there's treatment that cures Hep-C completely, although it is prohibitively expensive, even with good health insurance.

Regarding Joey Stefano, it wasn't finding out that he was HIV+ that killed him; it was ChiChi LaRue dealing his drugs and pimping him out that killed him. ChiChi is a scourge upon gay porn that is indelible. I'd say that ChiChi was the single person most responsible for the decline of gay porn because she was obsessed with condoms to the exclusion of everything else, be it rampant drug abuse to piracy. It was her advocacy and blackballing people in the industry over barebacking that allowed everyone to take their eyes of the ball as the business slid into the back-biting bitchy dying industry that it is (not that it's undeserved, but still...).

I'm not one to judge, but you reap what you sow. You play with fire and you WILL get burned.

Just turned 53 and it is sad to see that many of these men would today be my age (or younger) had they lived.

Glad better drugs came along and that people started playing safer when the outbreak occurred.

Peace to the long term survivors.

[quote]Please explain [R5]. I didn't see that Mike Branson died in the video

He'll be in the next video ... I assume he's suicidal over not being named to the vacancy on the Supreme Court.

He wears a wig and calls himself Judge Judy.

Why would it make any difference if you jerk off to them whether they are alive or dead? They're just images on a screen anyway.

When I was coming out I was infatuated with a gay porn star called Lee Ryder - big cock, nice thin body, beautiful straight brunette hair, nicely styled, and a certain bad boy look. He died from AIDS in 1991. Anybody remember him?

I met him a few times, r40.

Why is Dirk Shafer included among them at the end? He wasn't a porn star, was he?

As far as I know all he did was pose.

R41 Wow!! You met my idol. What was he like? Was he nice or basically okay, troubled or what? Hoping not to sound too crass, did you have sex with him? I'd appreciate any details that you feel comfortable telling about. I'm from Canada so I was a long ways away from any of them.

Guys, just to let you know: this memorial video was put together by a former gay porn star who has since become a religious evangelical and considers himself an ex-gay. He sometimes hands out religious tracts outside of gay bars. He has put out a couple of these videos and I've seen them before. They are very touching in their own way but the man who put them together has some serious issues.

Wow thanks for warning us, R45. He sounds like a truly hateful, evil human being who is seriously trying to ruin people's lives with religious tracts. The horror!

Link to his Facebook, r23, or it didn't happen.

There's no logic whatsoever in that demand, r47.

WHEN

WILL

THE

TEARS

END?

Flush Twice.

I was the greatest whore of them all!

WHET Chase Hunter? Huge dick and cute. He'd be what 60 now? Thought he lived Columbus, Ohio?

In Los Angeles most of those people have passed through here I'm still amazed that the lifespan of an escort or porn star in Los Angeles just never ends the pictures remain the same but I'm sure in person they must age it's pretty amazing I've been here for 30 years and still the same people are escorting and doing porn

R52 I think he's still escorting.

How could we possible compete ?

I saw they included Robert Elephante. I knew him casually (okay, he gave me a bj once). Really nice guy. He lived in the apartments across from my condo. There was a bad storm and a power line came down. Apparently he went outside and stepped on it by mistake. No more than 50 yards from where I sit. Pretty sad.

Very sad.

That's a bad death it's just hard to get sad when someone passes away from such a weird accident it's like dying while having sex or something just not going to get a lot of sympathy from people

No, I can't masturbate to dead porn stars.

And yes, it is always sadder when good looking men die young.

[quote]Errol Flynn boozed it up and slept with everyone and he lasted until his late 50s. Why do these guys drop dead so much earlier.

No, he lasted til 50. FLYNN had turned 50 about about 4 months before his death in October 1959.

[quote]ChiChi LaRue

Never could understand how the hell any of the porn actors could maintain their erections with that POS around directing them. Heinous.

Where is that disgusting fat hag now

[quote] And yes, it is always sadder when good looking men die young.

Shallow much? Holy Christ.

Seriously, if Brent Corrigan or any of my other favorite porn stars died tragically, I would most likely wear black for the rest of my life. Unless it's Greco Rai., then I would dance over his grave. He'd probably take decades to rot due to being 100% non-recyclable plastic.

R63 is fat and ugly just saying

Kyle Carrington is supposed to have committed suicide. Not only was he beautiful, but he seemed like a very nice guy. Very sad

Did they all commit suicide or die of AIDS? Can't be bothered watching the video.

Hopefully Robert Sepulveda Jnr will be the next porn start to go and meet his maker.

R67, AIDS, followed by suicide followed by car/motorcycle accidents.

A bunch of dead male hookers. Good riddance.

R70 Fat Old Poor

Do not be vulgar r70.

Gay porn stars are to their fans what MGM movie stars were to their fans in the 30s, 40s, 50s. They enact our dreams, our fantasies, our alter egos. They embody our dream lives. They personify glamor. They are our heroes, in the absence of modern-day myth.

^. Nope. Just a bunch of dirty dead male hookers.

The first batch died of AIDS mostly in the 90's it looks like. They get a free pass since they probably got it 10 to 20 years earlier with no symptoms, no knowledge of its existence not even a name. Even if they didn't whore it up, because no drugs to fight it had been invented yet. The more recent ones are mostly over dose and suicide. These I have less sympathy for since drug addiction and to some degree suicide is not in the closet like it used to be 20 years ago. Everyone knows about drug addiction these day and there are plenty of ways to get sober.

What's wrong with you Millennials, we stop one bad thing from killing off gay men and you replace it with another.

[quote]And, no, I cannot cum to a a porn actor whom I know has died.

Can’t quite put my finger on it R10...but something tells me that YOU actually can.

Sad but predictable.

The ultimate grief porn.

Poor whores......

I didn't watch the video. I'm already aware that many of those men have already passed. For those who've questioned whether or not a person can still 'get off' watching their scenes, it's complicated. I had already watched lots of Jon King videos and gotten off on them before learning he died of ARC. So I can still get off watching his scenes. On the other hand, I deleted everything I had saved featuring Sebastian Young after learning he had been arrested to raping his own young daughter (and giving her an STD). I've watched a lot of porn over the years, so some of those performers (I was mocked on a different thread for even using the word 'performer') occupy a space in my consciousness as much as any TV or movie performer. No one questioned all the grief over MTM's death, and she certainly was a more important figure in my life. But it's not like I've ever known any of these people in person. We're still talking about human beings, some mother's child.

R81 Who the fuck is MTM?

I think what is so sad is that so many of them were young and still had far to go.

What is also tragic is tha so many died just as treatments were about to change everything.

r82, Mary Tyler Moore.

I am at the 6 minute mark and every single death is AIDS related. Is that for the entirety of the video? The sad part might be the memorial only having shirtless pictures of some of these guys. A whore in life and death. Perhaps the young guys getting into BB porn should see this. The video is only a fraction of the devastation.

R45, sounds about right. He was crazy before porn and he's now channeled the crazy into religious fanaticism. There's a female porn star named Shelley Luben that does the same thing. Atleast they'll be alive to tell a story. Really fucked up people though.

NO, just the first 13 minutes, then there are a bunch of other causes including a surprising number of homicides and meningitis.

You reap what you sow.

[quote]The first batch died of AIDS mostly in the 90's it looks like. They get a free pass since they probably got it 10 to 20 years earlier with no symptoms, no knowledge of its existence not even a name.

Not necessarily so. You're right for the most part, but I counted more than five who were born in the late sixties/early seventies, which means they reached puberty (I'm not gonna be so naíve as to say adulthood) after AIDS had been exposed in the media. The saddest part is a couple of them died in the eighties/early nineties, which means they were in their early twenties when they died.

Heart Failure = Steroids, Amphetamines, Cocaine

Overdose = Barbiturates, GHB, Heroin, Benzoids

Liver Failure = Alcohol, Hepatitis

Suicide = (This is where meth can figure into the equation) Depression (drug crash or career stall) , Manic Episode, Mental Illness, Sleep Depravation

Did they list Michael Christopher? Did I miss it? I looked him up in any case, and it seems all we have are rumors that he died of AIDS. But to be frank, there are absolutely no post-80's pics of him in the internets.

And then there's ... Asthma!

R45, who is the ex-porn guy who put the video together?

I was wondering about Michael Christopher as well. And was it ever determined whether or not Brian Hawkes died?

Super creepy thread. Only old gay men would deify porn whores and the recklessness of raw sex. This really is why they hate us.

R91, R94, GEVI says that Brian Hawks died in a car accident. It doesn't say anything about Michael Christopher dying but, of course, it's still possible: there were no more films after the 1980s.

R95, Believe me, they hated us long before gay porn became popular. They don't need a reason.

[quote]Only old gay men would deify porn whores and the recklessness of raw sex. This really is why they hate us.

Who is deifying them? It's just sad that so many of them have so died young.

[quote] They are very touching in their own way but the man who put them together has some serious issues.

Of course. Every man who does gay porn has "some serious issues."

[quote] Who the fuck is MTM?

Mary Todd Mincoln, Rose.

[quote] Who is deifying them?

The ridiculous Mary! at r73.

r101 - Umm...that was satirical.

Gorgeous Max Shutler passed away earlier this week.

I love that the obit @r103 includes the fact that he was "a voracious bottom."

r98, you're sad because they were attractive. You don't care about someone who unattractive that's died. Enough.

R93 His name is Joseph Sciambra, although I don't know what his porn name was. He has his own website, is deeply involved in a strict religion, tries to convert gays to being like himself, and say some very strange things. He is a man with a peculiar mission and appears to be somewhat unbalanced, or at least, living in his own little world. From gay porn star to a very strict, zealous religion is going from one extreme to the other. Beware.

r105 - were you born a douchebag or did you have to learn it. Did I say anything about their looks? I rarely watch porn and couldn't tell you who any one of them were except for the one I knew personally.

I wouldn't care if you died because you're ugly...an ugly soul.

It's like ragging on Elizabeth Smart for being anti-porn. The guy probably had PTSD, just like her.

R107 you are being completely dishonest. But, your final paragraph was honest and the real you. I had your number.

[quote]I wouldn't care if you died because you're ugly...an ugly soul.

You didn't have to say anything about their looks. It's evident why you "care".

Gay men are so "looks-ist," so it's only natural that they mourn more for the beautiful men.

Max Shutler died? What a waste.

R110 I think you mean shallow.

All gay men?

Or just the ones on this thread?

Or just the ones on DL?

Many pronouncements are made about gay men from people whose only exposure to them is DL.

No, it's on every gay site R113. I used to think like you as well but because I see this everywhere, (porn addiction, homophobic, very strongly anti-gay, very pro-straight male) my mind is changing.

I didn't see , did the memorial mention Brian Thompson from Sailor in the Wild? I believe he was a passionate Gay man who died of. Aids early on as well. But maybe I am wrong.

I also didn't see Giorgio Canali and I thought he passed away as well.

I didn't think they knew when Chad Douglas passed away or Bill Henson for that matter?

I personally find porn performers to be fascinating sociologically and it is very sad that way too many passed so young. The hypocrisy of calling them names and judging their lifestyle amuses me. Fuck off to all of you who post evil opinions about the same stars who you jack off to and fantasize about. Most of us would not choose to appear in these films and MOST of us are not nearly physically appealing enough to get the role anyway. God love these guys - they provide us a huge service while many of us throw stones at them.

The hypocrisy argument is tired. No one wants anything to do with them outside of the screen because they're usually batshit crazy and users.

I meant users of people, but I'm sure drugs apply as well.

So is that nutty evangelical really an ex pornstar? Or was he dumb enough to think no male evangelicals would look him up?

I started out a starlet and ended up a harlot.

I kinda feel sad because lots of these people led very fucked-up lives and likely died alone. I think its incredibly sad that one can on one hand be so popular, loved, revered, etc. and yet likely be completely and utterly alone.

I have a very good friend who came from a pretty damaged childhood, and is a male dancer for a living. He hasn't progressed to porn and says he won't but he says the objectification has ruined human interactions with anyone. He is likely the smiling go-go boy you see at a club and everyone assumes is going home to have wild sex with every hot guy in the place, but he goes home every night to a depressing apartment and plays video games. He's had one boyfriend and got dumped for being "unavailable emotionally."

r121, does your friend dance in NYC? He sounds hot.

R121 is a troll

r122 Sure does. He's from FL.

The women over at Jezebel and where ever else has made this whole thing of "sex work" sound like an empowering and viable career. I am on board with giving former sex workers the ability to get back into the real workforce as teachers, bus drivers, whatever the hell they want, but the narrative of normalizing sex work is laughable. I know people that have done porn(no stars) and escorted. It's not a pretty picture.

Years ago when I was coming out I had gay pen-pals. One of them was a 17 or 18 year old guy called Kevin. He was quite conflicted about himself and was very upset because another young, drunk male made a pass at him at a party and kissed him. He was very upset and asked me, "Do they think I'm gay?!", "What should I do?!", "I'm so uncomfortable!", etc. I gave him a neutral pep talk but eventually lost touch with him. Then, a number of years later I saw a familiar face and name (one very similar to his own), much to my surprise, in none other than a gay porn movie. So, yes, I think that is a huge hint that he found himself. With a vengeance.

Is he one of the deceased ones R126? Did you ever contact him again?

R127 just transitioned.

You laugh at dead comic film and TV actors. Who not jack off to dead sex actors?

For every dead porn "star," there are 100 dead gay men who weren't famous.

R116, I agree. I've never met a porn performer in real life, and have only met a few 'erotic dancers' and escorts (really, hustlers) over the years, and the people I met were already damaged in some way, and brought out a protective side of me but I also knew, for my own safety, to maintain some distance. One of my friends from years ago fell in love with a hustler, and ended up becoming a hustler himself, sharing their addictions and specializing in 'the threesome experience'. I didn't stop caring about my friend, but had to maintain a certain distance once that started. I read some feminist advice columnist regarding porn: "If you wouldn't do it yourself, then why would you be willing to pay to watch someone else do it?", like she had shut down the conversation. Um, I wouldn't perform a surgical procedure, or represent myself in court, since I'm not qualified to do those things. I don't have the qualifications to appear in porn, but I'm grateful for the people who have. And I never forget that they're still people, first and foremost, with real names and family histories outside their 'nom de porn' lives.

Is it okay to jack off to a dead gay porn star?

Dying as the results of having sex kinda amuses me. Watching others being self-destructive always makes me horny

R30, Flynn died at 50. The autopsy showed he had the organs of a much older man. A few years before that, he said hello to Olivia d at a party. She'd last seen him almost 20 years earlier, when they made their final film, and she didn't recognize the old man in front of,her. He had been stunning.

Mmmmm

Sometimes it's good to be ugly.

Brandon Cody RIP.

Sorry my bad. He just fucks like a corpse.

a lot of heart failures for younger guys...........I know somebody said can be drug related?

I love my dead gay porn star son.

Max Schutler

Steve fox was super hot

Who are the newest additions?

Moving tribute.

You know these were HUMAN beings you don't have to like thier life choices but neither you are I are them or had to walk in thier shoes. To all you heartless batards laughing and mocking these people with your holier than thou or I'm not like them. Take a moment,if thier were no gay porn stars or any porn stars for that matter, thier would be no porn. And being a porn performer can't be that shamefully of a act since WE'RE ALL here.

I can't say "know" them but I certainly know of them and I thank them for thier work and contributions our community. Oh isn't that just a hoot!!! We are a community??? Of what mean spirted hateful hartless bitches who don't build eachother up and support our brothers a d sisters. And yes I said OUR. I'm pretty sure everyone one of you that left a hateful led and hurt full comment water porn. May you even you find a friend or shoulder when your time comes, and may that shoulder be softer and kinder than your. We are so so hurt full to each othder. We talk respect and acceptence but we give none in return. I know this really long winded and not eve 2%of the people that come this page will read it. But for those who do and to those that have gone before us. I say open arms.

Sadly, the one that we hope would be dead still lives.

Arnaldo Santana (Malo was his porn name) is not listed, then we don't know if he is dead or alive. After three gay porn movies, he played in CRUISING (the Loren Lukas character) and in SCARFACE (Earnie).

There is a thread dedicated to him, but we don't know much more, he is an "enigma"!!!!!

Comicnerd, don't sweat these small brained, egotistical, idiots! I watched this video and was very touched that someone would take the time and effort to put together such a long and beautiful memorial for these men. Truly amazing! That said, yes some of them had sorted pasts. Who the hell do some of you "anonymous" heartless jerks think you are? You can't even have the balls to post your names! My name is John Downey aka Jamie Bishop. Yes I am one of these people! But I'm still alive. I don't consider myself brain damaged! I have owned several of my own businesses. From cleaning business (sold for a profit) to cruise agency managing 24 agents that I personally trained to an LGBT gift store supporting the community. Currently I attend college at age 55, my major is political science. I make changes happen. I worked off and on for 20 years as a nurse, and 3 years as a flight attendant for Skywest Airlines. I'm very proud of my accomplishments including having been a stripper, drag queen, escort and porn star. Has my life been perfect, hell no! But who has a perfect life? If you say you do, you are truly misguided! All you fools who want to cast stones, you all helped contribute to some of these poor souls demise. I retired from escorting after an abusive client on a 3 day trip to Breckenridge CO. Someone who tried to destroy me on the escort blacklist, lol. It backfired! This man from sfo, was a doctor. He picked his nose, flicking it. He would vomit in his mouth and swallow it. He would dart anytime anywhere. Funny thing is, he was about 35 and not bad looking. The money made by porn stars in the 70's thru the 90's and probably still isn't very much unless you become Jeff Stryker and develop a brand of yourself. In one film you might make enough to pay a months rent. There were no residuals. And the people running the industry take advantage wherever they can. So go on and judge, judge yourself a little while you are at it. I'm happy with my life. But sickened to read such gross attacks on dead individuals who may not have had it as good as you. Sincerely John Downey Jamie Bishop Jessika Kayne

oh boo fuckin hoo! They were beautiful, they could have used that beauty to open doors for themselves however they chose their depraved lives of filth and drugs. Good riddance.

r147 sordid, not sorted. Not brain damaged huh?

Charlie/Charley Stone died this past December at age 55. He also did a lot of straight porn under the name Eric Price.

He'd had a lot of issues with drinking in the and hit another guy head on while driving drunk on the wrong side of the road. He broke his pelvis, and injured his hands, hip and feet and was confined to a wheelchair for a while.

A few years later, he got arrested for domestic battery. Here was the mugshot for that.

His last postings on Facebook on the day before and the day of his death were a bit cryptic and makes it look like he might have taken his own life.

WEHT Miss Cole Carpenter?

Thank you to recent posters.

I always associate DL with pornstar threads. It used to be full of porn chat, but recently it's become very bland. So thank you for posting on this important subject people.

That's creepy R150.

He was pretty when young.

Cole Carpenter was in the movie version of "A Chorus Line."

I love the trickly music. This shits over those Oscar memorium videos. The hardest working stars evah!

[quote] I kinda feel sad because lots of these people led very fucked-up lives and likely died alone.

We all die alone.

Wasn’t that a Cher song?

[quote] Wasn’t that a Cher song?

"Dead Gay Porn Stars"? I think it was one of the ones she took a pass on and gave to Vicki Lawrence.

I just love this thread.

All of this is sad in so many different ways and aspects that it’s just to hard to go into here.

Most of the guys who died of AIDS were born in the 50s or early 60s, wiped out like so many other gay guys of that generation. There was a long thread here listing actors and performers a few years ago.

That would be a great name for a rap group.

[quote] I'm pretty sure everyone one of you that left a hateful led and hurt full comment water porn.

I've been trying to puzzle out what this was meant to say, and I've failed.

Bump

You could of put an updated list from the last post if you're gonna bump an old thread. Like this...

Anyone know if this guy died of AIDS? Can't find shit on him online.

And alien tears will fill for him

Pity’s long broken urn,

For his mourners will be outcast men,

And outcasts always mourn.

I could never find info on Eighties porn actor Matt Forrest. I've heard he died of AIDS, but he's never been in any official list.

Wasn't Eric Stryker the first well-known porn star to die from AIDS?

This is a 14:22 minute version of the OP's video, takes half the time to watch, but still just as sad.

I only got thru 2 minutes. Did they all die of AIDS?

[quote]You could of put

Oh, dear.

R167 Ridder Rivera RIP. He was a super hung hot Cuban muscle top. And boy could he fuck. He had a lot of scenes at TimTales.

There but for the grace of God go we.

Got through the first hand full. Sorry they're gone, and sorry for the way many of them died, but I didn't know any of them, never heard of any of them, so why watch 28 minutes of something like that? Its like going to a funeral home every day to look at dead people, when you didn't know any of them.

R174 33 and died of natural causes, that seems questionable

They gave so much pleasure to so many, were a part of so much growing up and discovery, and such a solace to the lonely and the aged. We need a national memorial archive.

r177 doesn't seem to understand what "natural causes" means.

You ask if it's okay to jerk off to a gay porn star? You must be joking. Half the guys here are still masturbating to Ramon Navarro.

^ Those are the youngsters.

R177, don’t be fucking obtuse. No, 33 year olds don’t die of « natural causes ». Especially when their bodies are evidence of serious steroids use/abuse. Over the years, I had many acquaintances in London who had fantastic bodies and eventually dropped dead in their 30’s or early 40’s. They were steroids and recreational drugs abusers. Of course no one on the gay scene would openly comment, but to say it was « heart failure ». Let’s call a spade a spade.

Shame about Ridder Riviera. He was such a fuck machine. He gave me many boners.

r182 So you're suggesting cancer, heart disease, AIDS, COVID-19, pneumonia, leukemia, etc. don't happen to young people? EVERYTHING other than murder and suicide is a "natural cause."

"Natural Causes"= Drug overdose.

At least it wasn't suicide I guess.

So many of them brings back memories of the Bijou aka jewel. Anyone know what I’m referring to?

Cinema?

R148 Porn tends to attract men, women, and trans people who have issues with sexual abuse, drugs-if they don't already use them they quickly start and become addicted, super low self-esteem, and narcissistic personality disorder. Also people still believe the myth that if you are in porn you will make lots of $$$ and become super famous-that all ended 50 years ago-and most people in porn make money from escorting than from porn.

Mmm, grief porn.

The third time today I have come across a post with an image of Al Parker.

That's interesting R190

Are you a fan?

That's sad, R192 nobody's posted on his guestbook. I was expecting at least one he had a hot ass but couldn't live forever.

Someone could have but the comments are mostly moderated. Years back when Brett mycles died, someone here found the condolence guest book and well this is DL so you can imagine what was written

[quote]You ask if it's okay to jerk off to a gay porn star? You must be joking. Half the guys here are still masturbating to Ramon Navarro.

Honey, half the guys here masturbated [bold]with[/bold] Ramon Navarro.

Ewe reep wot u sew.

R194 do u have a link?

R190 there's a guy who blogs about bisexual and gay porn stars from the 1970s and 1980s he is obsessed with Al Parker-who I found super overrated and boring, as in he would just appear super stoned in porn films, go through the motions-no pun-and fuck in the same positions in every single scene.

A bisexual friend of mine would sometimes see him at social events back in the day, and they had mutual friends; but my friend never had sex with him.

Most of them died in the mid 1980s to early 1990s during the first wave of AIDS victims.
