Once Popular Porn Performers Who Hit The Skids

All of them?

Derek Cameron

Roman heart and Sean storm

Aren't most of them junkies and then they kill themselves?

That mulatto who had some confession on a video, then cried and jerked off.

....

Colby Keller owns this thread. I used to watch everything he did, and then he came out as a Trump supporter. Funny, I don't see him working or his videos that much anymore.

R1 wins

It's not a contest, Blanche. There is no "winning" on Datalounge. *rolls eyes*

I remember a story about some really popular seventies/early eighties porn ‘star’ - who had been the toast of the town - and the guy telling the tale had seen him in his final days not long before hiv/aids killed him - in the streets homeless - in a wheelchair - friendless - half crazy - and begging for change. I’m paraphrasing - the writer told the story much more eloquently - but that’s the gist of it. Haunting.

Harry Reems ended up sleeping in dumpsters...then he eventually cleaned up, got married, and sold real estate, I believe....

R10, sounds like this guy. Apparently, he was a real asshole

And yet I keep trucking on, intent on my career objectives and leaving my sordid past behind me.

(6) Is morbid as hell.

Tim Barnett became a serial rapist and Tim Lowe a murderer...that's about as low as you can go.

R15, president of the United States is as low as you can go.

Chasey Lain

Someone on here said they've spotted a homeless Jim Bentley on the streets of San Francisco.

If they weren't discriminated against and marginalized by society, they would have the support systems that everyone else has. The treatment of them probably breaks their spirit.

R15, Strangely, although Tim Barnett (one of the most beautiful men in gay porn, ever) was a serial rapist, he raped women, not men. He hung himself in his jail cell. Yes, I know rape is a crime of violence, not passion, but I find his story very compelling, for some reason.

R18 = Karl Malden

R12 If I recall correctly Matt Gunther got AIDS dementia and was acting belligerent and irrationally. He ended up in a wheelchair and eventually in a hospice but he abused the caretakers and ended up homeless in the streets. A couple of friends tried taking him in but he was impossible to live with. At his peak he was one of the hottest gay porn stars. He died at age 33. A tragic ending.

R22 He was a big diva even before that. One of the award shows even gave him a special award called "Biggest Bitch".

ken riyker

Is Ryan Idol still in jail?

What's the point of this thread? If it's to cite people like Matt Gunther then are we to contribute by naming others who have died of AIDS or something related?

Many of the porn actors are doing it to supplement their income or help pay for school. Then there are those who act do porn films and also escort as their only means of income. These are the ones that are more likely to fall on hard times because when the porn and escorting dries up, they're in a bad place.

Sam Crockett did a gross amateur looking bareback video with another former mainstream turned bareback porn star while obviously high and it was truly sad.

Mason Wyler

Apparently, DL's favorite serious journalist turned leather faced porn daddy Dallas Steele has started doing videos with a company that seems to specialize in older poz guys fucking younger "boys".

I hope Dallas can transition back to local TV news once his porn misadventures are over. I’d love to see him behind the anchor desk again at a local station in, say, the Palm Springs TV market where his past will be no big deal.

It seems like a lot of guys that were big at Titan have gone the sketchy bareback route, even Alex Mecum is taking loads on camera now although rumor was he was taking many off camera while he worked for Titan.

Tyler Saint just released an Only Fans video of him and his partner fucking and getting fucked by gross poz garbage bag Vic Rocco.

jessie koehler's cock got so red when he had a hard on it looked like it was on fire. His shaft and head were fire red.

r26 has had it up to HERE!!!

Erik Rhodes aka James Elliott Naughtin 6'3' 250 lbs of hot muscled mess.

Joey Stefano.

Hot and popular Joey Stefano died at only age 26. He was HIV Positive. He was found dead in a motel room from an overdose/suicide of a combination of drugs. He left behind a note saying that he had no money, no more drugs, and generally very despondent with his life. Very sad ending for a young man who had it all, including celebrities, for awhile.

R36 Erik Rhodes was a juiced-out, coked-up asshole in person. His death was no big loss.

It's not like rentmen is a glamorous place to hawk your wares OP. "The skids" kind of seems like base level for most of these guys.

That red-headed porn star (Kennedy?) and his doctor boyfriend were convicted of something bad. I assume they’re in jail

All of them eventually.

I AM "big"!!!

It's the Nudies that got small....

25 years ago I was in San Francisco with friends on a bus and we could see Eric Manchester with a much older and smaller man who had clearly just paid for a few hours with him. It was apparent the deal had just gone down. It was a sad sight for me after having spent so many hours watching his "artistry" on the screen in the privacy of my bedroom.

I get really sad when favourites start looking rough - and then get less work and eventually disappear. But of course nowadays - they often don’t completely disappear - they film themselves in decline and put it on their social media for all to see before they finally disappear from view.

Like Tom Faulk. I loved that sexy blond fucker! Not model handsome or super buff or hung - but the whole package was hot! I loved his goofy, healthy but sometimes stoner/boy persona. He was photogenic and seemed to really enjoy himself. Then it all fell apart: saw him doing a solo posted to pornhub a while ago - wired as fuck and just going at his hole with a series of big toys. Then recently on his twitter feed - posted footage of him just ranting whole high about some breakup with a girlfriend (?) and how some friend (another porn star) had betrayed him ( by urging him to get off meth!). - he’s been arrested a couple of times recently too. The mugshots are unrecognisable. He’s gone from glowing with health and hormones - to a faces of meth poster child. It’s horroble. Hope he can overcome it.

Tyler Saint now sells clips online of he and his partner barebacking with other used up porn burnouts. Tyler's latest clip is of he and his partner flip fucking bareback with Treasure Island Media darling Vic Rocco who is the husband of former Titan exclusive now a fellow TIM staple Jon Galt...both are looking Very rough.

R46 Tyler Saint used to be one of my favorites. He is unrecognizable now

He looks both old and saggy and yet still somehow plastic and fake.

r29 What happened to Mason Wyler?

Besides HIV, meth and a raging urge to self destruct R49?

Thanks r50

Has he died?

Jeff Palmer

Whatever happened to Palmer? He had the AIDS, but wouldn't take any medication - any update?

I saw Sean Storm showing his asshole on CAM4 the other day. That's like working for 25-cent tips.

Muscle guido Marco Rossi looked like a cadaver last time he surfaced, gotta be meth?

Ali Liam; murdered his boyfriend with a knife.

Eric Ryan died in 1993. An SF friend said he showed up as a potential roommate in 1992, was impoverished and offered sex in exchange for lower rent. He was already thinner and sick. My friend turned him down. Eric died a year later.

Eric Ryan at his peak:

No R51 I think he's doing bareback porn or was.

Eric Ryan was sex on a stick in the 1980s. Like most other gay porn stars he became a victim of the AIDS epidemic.

An easier question would be--which once-popular mainstream gay porn performers have not hit the skids?

r61 apparently likes short threads.

Tom Faulk.

"Mason Wyler" posts on twitter under the handle "The Best James," translated to Japanese @ichicbanjemuzu - where he puts up his travel schedule and latest 'adventures.' .. As I recall, his real name is "James." .. Anyway, from the looks of things, James seems to concentrate on Asian cities and men.

Last month

Mason looks good - less kid. More man.

They are all walking cadavers. Who knew forgoing education and careers for the cesspool of cash, drugs and sex would end badly?

Sean Storm also does scat vids now.

R66 Yeah, I agree. Taking a bubble bath in Bangkok.

I like watching porn, but for those doing porn it's a very destructive life doing great harm to your psyche, self-esteem, marketability to work outside of porn, physical and mental health and self-worth. Granted, some come out on the other side unscathed, but for many it's a very risky business. Too risky.

The fact that so much porn is free hurts the porn business and those who work in it. Many end up working for tokens. That's no way to live.

I wanna see a picture of Marco Rossi God damnit

????

Someone posted this on Ryan Idol's Wikipedia page today about his jail sentence.

"He is housed at the California inmate Medical Facility (CMF)in Vacaville, California. A medical facility for mentally ill prisoners . Due to bad behavior , fighting and drugs. Marc Anthony lost all his good time, and must complete his full sentence of 12 years. Due to his 3 strike record, he is eligible for life without parole if convicted of another violent crime, so he chose a deal to do his entire sentence instead of getting a new charge. his release date is August of 2023 (protective custody)."

According to the California's inmate locator website, he is insdeed in California Medical Facility but is eligible for parole in February 2022.

I can't wait for Mike Branson's confirmation hearings.

Mason is still hot af.

It has to be Ryan Idol simply because it involves a toilet.

They should make a documentary called RYAN IDOL: BITCH TITS & TOILET LIDS

Roman Heart. Last seen high on meth getting fucked with a mechanical dildo in a van down by the river.

The remains of Tom Faulk.

Oh the poor dears!

Mason Wyler looks much better with age.
