Matthew Rush is back to business again! 🍆💦

Where has he been? Statesville?....LoL

onlyfans launch soon?

Can't he become a Madam?

He’s a little ‘long in the tooth’.

[quote]After a 4 year hiatus, some deep soul searching and tons of plastic surgery, I’m back.

In his comeback scene he should rim Zeb Atlas!

It looks like he has a vagina in his bicep near his armpit.

OH dear grandpa, you should just retire.

When you have cloth being held up with tacks on your wall, I just cannot take you seriously. Where was the photo taken---the South Bend Indiana Hilton?

He must have finally kicked the tina. I'm happy for him if he's drug free and a happy person. But he'd better wake up and realize how much has changed in the last 4 years in the gay adult entertainment industry. If that's where he thinks his future is going to be he may end up very shocked.

With DL fav Connie Francis:

Let’s not rush to reopen all the parts at once

There's something sad about an adult performer retiring and then returning back to the adult industry doing exactly the same thing they were doing before. And the picture the OP posted doesn't help any.

What happened to his face? Did he have a stroke?

Once again we have a bunch of gays acting like clicky high school girls. This guy is doing the best he can to make a living. He has and asset he's going to use which is his body which is obviously enhanced by steroids and he will pay a huge price in his 40s and 50s with cardiac issues and other health problems. I hope he is out of the Fort Lauderdale and or Palm Springs area so that he's not being fed money by some rich gays with questionable intentions. We really don't look out for each other do we? We celebrate people's failures and choose not to help them.

But what happened to Matthew Camp?

I met him years ago at a Ptide event. He was actually quite sweet, and one could tell he was a genuinely kind person. I hope things go well for him.

And by Ptide, I would mean Pride, of course. What the hell kind of typo was that.

Did his parents Jennifer and Geoffrey ever comment on their son's choice of a career?

He was working security at one of the dollar stores in a small town, so he was desperate to get out of there. He's still not well, you can see in his eyes that he's lost. Rumor is that he wants to be a sex slave and enjoys being abused. And how many boyfriends has he introduced to us over the years? This girl needs help.

I hope he does great. Good for him - and seriously what R15 said.

If people like R15 and R21 really wanted to help Matthew/Greg, they'd discourage a 48 year old with very obvious physical, mental and emotional health problems from reentering the skin game, a game not known for having a lot of nice people in it.

And the video of him having that breakdown on camera isn't going to help his personal marketing campaign.

He looks better than he did a fee years ago.

He'll end up just like Erik Rhodes dead on a cold hard tray in a morgue waiting for cremation or aquamation. Then forgotten in the anals of time. Another gay por star bites the dust

It's very sad. People who choose to live dangerously for the moment when they are young and, consciously or not, believe they're immune to vulnerabilities that ultimately affect us all, always pay a price in the long run. We see on this site how often gay porn stars end up in prison and dead prematurely.

It's a sick cycle that's exactly like the Britney Spears, Marilyn Monroe, and other life stories: beautiful young people are publicly worshipped like demigods and then their lives inevitably spiral out of control. The public lusts after these icons of youthful sexual appeal and then revels in the lifelong tragedies that follow.

I think this is how we express our innate societal need for human sacrifices today. We don't rip out beating hearts like the Aztecs did; we make stars out of people and then grin in awe as we watch them fall and burn out gruesomely.

[quote] He has and asset he's going to use which is his body which is obviously enhanced by steroids and he will pay a huge price in his 40s and 50s with cardiac issues and other health problems.

He is already 48 years old. And if he is on steroids, he has been on them for more than half his lifetime.

This is a photo of him from 2004. Only a few years before, he was a twink.

I take it back: I remembered young Rush as twinky because his face was, but he apparently has always had a humongously muscular body.

Ugh, his face

I completely understand the concern for Matthew Rush expressed here and our complicity. I’ve pounded out a few fantasies while watching this beefy cupcake but what exactly is my responsibility? What am I supposed to do? Sponsor vocational training? Provide him with a drug free living space?

He still looks good. And I also heard from people who’d met him that he’s the sweetest guy. But is it wise to jump back into pron at 48yo? Especially with a history of substance abuse and mental fragility?

R30 Substance abuse and mental fragility tend to lead to poor decision making, so your question has a built-in feedback loop.

Oh dear

I volunteer for Sugar Daddy duty!

R29 who on earth is asking you to take responsibility? What a weird comment.

For 50 he looks good. Wish him nothing but the best.

He never did anything for me, but by all accounts is a nice guy, so I'm hoping things work out for him.

“Self care and healing”… if you mean pushing the limits of steroid intake…

I can't believe the Mean Gays in this thread aren't making fun of Tom Chase, too.

Is he still white?

That’s a nice pic at R38.

[quote]And by Ptide, I would mean Pride, of course. What the hell kind of typo was that.

That's something Matthew charges extra for

I never realized he's a neopagan, as the tapestry behind him in the OP photo suggests.

I’ll never forget the night he had a total, live, mental breakdown here at DL. He got some STD from a porn star he was “in love” with and was devastated. The thread was brutal. Him crying, sad, broken, destroyed. Then all of a sudden he realized he had to do some JO show and like a light bulb switch, on with the show he must go. The thread was deleted by the next morning.

Just a blast from the past - Matthew Rush bottoms for an older guy

What's his best scene as a bottom?

Tom Chase ain't been a thing since he bottomed and got all bloated.

Trying to be in a healthy place in the porn industry is kind of like floating into the pool on an inflatable chair and expecting not to get wet. He needs to find another career, another life that will afford him some dignity and peace. “Dancin for The Groceries” at 48 is a fool’s errand.

What happened to his tooth in the photo at R38?

[quote] like clicky high school girls.

Oh, [italic]dear.[/italic]

R48 He was on meth and has been in jail many times. Lost teeth unfortunately comes with the territory.

Tom Chase's face looks great, but he has hideous giant tattoos all over his body, including winglike feathers all over his arms, and sunbursts over each nipple and (I kid you not) his asshole.

Meth contributes to tooth loss.

“Meth mouth” is characterized by severe tooth decay and gum disease, which often causes teeth to break or fall out. An examination of the mouths of 571 methamphetamine users showed: 96% had cavities 58% had untreated tooth decay 31% had six or more missing teeth

"Self Care" is another way of saying "i learned absolutely nothing after months/years of talking to my therapist and they just gave up....but I think I'm healed!".

More like some “deep hole searching”

I miss his light brown curls.

This won't end well, and Tom Chase is said to be a bit of a mess.

I also remember reading many yesrs ago that he was really nice to everyone.

I hope he beats the odds but if he is going back to porn at 48, that does not bode well.

Greg, if you get a google alert and read this, here's some serious and sincere advice: if you are still taking drugs like meth or if you are tempted to do them again, PLEASE (ideally) go to an ayahuasca or iboga retreat or (if you can't for any reason) get yourself some psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and take a HUGE dose. I'm not messing with you. Any of these psychedelics will help you recover and heal, and they probably pose zero risk to your physical well being. (If you have a heart or vascular problem or are taking antidepressants, do not take ayahuasca or iboga; otherwise, there's no risk from them.) You can't become addicted to any of these substances, you can't die from overdose, and all of them are wildly helpful in breaking addictions and could save your life.

The best way to stay off drugs is to cut contact with any and all people who do drugs

He still looks good but this is not a good omen.

So, is he escorting again?

I hope he was able to quit both meth and Datalounge. Both seem to be highly toxic.

Anals of time, R24? I'm going to be generous and just call that the best pun of the last five years.

R44 where’s the older man’s ass? That’s some sad shit.

I love the photo with Tom Chase. They look great. I'm glad he's putting his life back together and I hope he finds love, happiness and peace.

What's going on with Tom Chase's nose? He's going to look like Carl Malden before long.

Is Matthew part Asian. He looks like he might be part Filipino.

Quite frankly, I think if his teeth were corrected he'd look fantastic.

I wish him well. I just think some things should be private and every little failing in your life should not be broadcast on social media. Then again, if that's part of your brand....

[quote] I wish him well. I just think some things should be private and every little failing in your life should not be broadcast on social media. Then again, if that's part of your brand....

That could be said of an entire generation. I was raised by old black folks from the south who told me: ‘don’t put all your business I the street!’

Why did the shape of his eyes change so much?

Is he black adjacent?

He looks soiled.

He has yellow skin!

I wish him good mental and physical health.

His debut fucking pussy (on camera) will start soon.

R74 Trans pussy.

He look like he's about to cry and never stop in the OP pic. JFC. Even the average DLer couldn't laught at that.

We have a lot in common.

If he's hanging out with Tom Chase he's already doomed.

I heard that he was of African American and German American ancestry. Who knows, adult film stars are seldom honest about their pasts.

OP- Your taste in men SUCKS

He’s going to have a crying jab and then jerk off.

He's unrecognizable with that Botox.

[quote] He's unrecognizable with that Botox.

Given the way he looked, that may be a good thing.

What's his ethnicity? half black?

Those sad, haunted eyes say much - too bad the road at the end of his "soul searching" led right back to porn.

I'm not sure why we are expected to feel badly for him. The whore life nearly destroyed him before and he learned nothing from it, obviously because he's enthusiastically returned to it.

[quote] I'm not sure why we are expected to feel badly for him.

Oh, dear!

He wants to be back with 'his people', where everyone knows his name.

[quote] He look like he's about to cry and never stop in the OP pic. JFC. Even the average DLer couldn't laugh at that.

They should have cast them as Dom Torreto's brother in Fast 9.

He looks more like Vin Diesel's brother than John Cena.

He could have been estranged from the family because his dad found out he caught a stomach bug from "eating da poopoo."

R85 he's part Mongolian, Rose.

He is tainted.

[quote] He is tainted

His taint has been tainted many a time.

Good for him.

I never found him all that appealing a performer, but people making an effort to fix their lived should be given kudos.

[quote] He is tainted.

R92 = Marguerite Perrin, God Warrior

Maybe he doesn’t have a lot of career options. Plus I’m sure it’s hard to move to a the average job where you earn in two weeks what you could earn in a few hours Plus he’s probably addicted to the external validation/attention.

Did he flunk out of Clown School again?

Time to take a $15/hour job and live simply in a cheap town. Porn is an addiction - to easy money. Live simply, get 2 jobs - just don’t go back to sex work. It’s a dead end road that will only leave you worse off at 50.

He won’t live to 50, R98.

^ BS

Where does it say he's getting back in the porn and/or escorting biz again?

[R91] Meaning what? At least they have Attila the Hun - don't they?

It looks like he has a boyfriend or partner.

R87

[quote] I'm not sure why we are expected to feel badly for him.

This is a grammatically correct sentence.

[quote] I never found him all that appealing a performer, but people making an effort to fix their lived should be given kudos

I dispute whether returning to porn when you’re two years shy of 50 is going to fix anything.

[quote] Time to take a $15/hour job and live simply in a cheap town. Porn is an addiction - to easy money. Live simply, get 2 jobs - just don’t go back to sex work. It’s a dead end road that will only leave you worse off at 50

I was thinking the same thing. Get a job at McDonalds and work your way up to manager (I believe they only promote from within!). It’s not glamorous, but will It will allow you to have some dignity and stability. Porn might be fine for a few years in your twenties, but his expiration date is soon

"I want extry salt on my fries - hold the jizz!"

Dealing with bad choices and their consequences is a difficult road. I’m sure it makes sense to jump back into what you know. I hope he has a counselor who is helping him make long-term goals. Relying on porn, a man or the generosity of wealthy friends is not a good plan.

Bleach blond and whitening his features, too.

R108, he was gold when he started out. With the roids came tanorexia and some faux thug play. It was the giardia tape that let you know he was in over his head.

HE WAS ONLY RETIRED CUZ HE WAS IN THE SLAMMA!

Why has he been in jail and/or prison?

[quote] he was gold when he started out.

Gold?

Not white, not black -just golden glowiness with delightful cheekbones.

R111 Meth. (Seriously, I'm not making fun of him.)

That drug has destroyed so many lives, and it seems like participating in porn has a similar effect on many people.

[quote] I'm not sure why we are expected to feel badly for him. This is a grammatically correct sentence.

Sure, if the intent was to say he had lost his sense of touch.

“Feel” in the context in which it was meant is a linking verb, and thus takes an adjective, not an adverb. We don’t say “I feel sadly.” It should have read, “I feel bad for him.”

[bold]Don't know why everyone's taking his message to mean he's getting back into pron.[/bold]

He's been in and out of jail over the last few years and court ordered drug treatment. Seems he's been having a difficult time - maybe he just means he's mentally+physically cleaned up and ready to face the world whatever it brings??

Tho he does have over 45k twitter followers, if only 1k of them subd to his hypothetical onlyfans, that's still a good income.

Whatever the case, boy was he cute in his younger days - very hot. And still pretty great for 48.

What's Tom Shannon been up to? I know he retired and is living what could be considered a quiet life, away from porn, with a partner/husband.

YIKES

If my only options were McDonalds or porn, I'd choose porn

[quote]Dealing with bad choices and their consequences is a difficult road.

No, he is a victim

Happen to know him since before he was in porn when he lived in Columbus Ohio. He has always been a big msucle dude since i have know him. He is sweet and goofy. Horny as all get out (He does porn and still horn dogs around when he is traveling). He is just a big old kid really who just happens to do porn.

I'd love to see his ass gang banged.....love that ass!!

[quote] That drug has destroyed so many lives, and it seems like participating in porn has a similar effect on many people.

Why do you think they do porn? How do you think they pay for the drugs?

The porn doesn't pay for a whole lot of dope. The porn just advertises their wares for their prostitution whore enterprises and that's what pays for the dope.

Damn this whore has been doing this shit since the 90s. There is a point where one needs to call it quits especially after hitting rock bottom the way he did. Porn is not the way!

The first scene he needs to is with Dean Zevran. Love to see two tragic mulattos that tried to pass themselves off as white and latino (the gay favorites)

If he detailed his spiral in a book, I'd read every damn word. Especially his depths of hell parts. And why his seemingly, sexually fulfilling talents weren't so fulfilling. At the core, is it all shame versus pride?

I want him in me, quite deeply.

R109, giardia? Like the bacteria?

[R129] As in De Laurentis.

Is this a colored young man ? What kind of pawn shop is he working at ? How was pawn destructive to him !!!

You can get giardia from another person or from contaminated water/food. My brother almost died from it—got it from drinking out of a creek. Lost a lot if weight before they finally diagnosed him.

😷 sick. I’ve been rimmed but never had the guts to do it to anyone else.

[quote]The first scene he needs to is with Dean Zevran.

SEAN Zevran

I'm still waiting for someone to point to something that says that Matthew is getting back into porn or escorting, which was the premise of this entire thread.

I just looked him up and his most recent tweet is about Erik Rhodes and Roman Heart, and he says in a video that "I could have very easily ended up like him."

He seems reflective and introspective and I wish him well.

I didn't know he escorts. Where does he live? I'm sure he's expensive.

He's missing teeth.

I don't know but sucking on that D would be like sucking on a plutonium rod.... toxic.

Maybe he reads the DL? and read the post about him ending up like those two he mentioned on twitter if he doesn't quit pr0n. it could couldn't it?

Whenever someone types that X reads DL, I assume that it's more likely that X received a tweet/DM from people who read DL.

ok, r140 that is more likely.

this place would be extremely toxic to his ego.

So long as he doesn’t try to off himself. One can only imagine what a career in the pornography industry can do to one’s self esteem and outlook on life.

I would bet your inheritance that his issues predate porn. The issue usually lead to the porn, not the other way around.

He lives in the Ft. Lauderdale area. He has a lifetime exclusive contract with Falcon and can go back to porn anytime he wants.

r144 No such thing. He's already done videos for non-Falcon studios.

[Quote] He has a lifetime exclusive contract with Falcon and can go back to porn anytime he wants.

He was a fave of Louis B Mayer.

Matt needs to exit porn. It's just not a healthy environment for anyone.

[quote] He lives in the Ft. Lauderdale area

He used to live in Lauderdale. He now lives with his boyfriend in North Carolina.

Couldn't be less attracted to him. No boner for sure.

Do these studios even make films any more?

Does the porno film industry attract people who have been sexually abused or mistreated?

[quote]Does the porno film industry attract people who have been sexually abused or mistreated?

It attracts dumb people who want easy money and can't pass a security check.

I heard he’s really really nice so i wish him well. Greg— praying for you bud! 🙏🕊❤️

[quote] He now lives with his boyfriend in North Carolina.

What an accepting and non-judgemental environment that is !

He’s got a face for radio.

Is it true that he's, you know.....dead inside?

Unfortunately meth can do some real damage cognitively, so not sure what he job skill set would be. If all you’ve done is porn your whole life, transitioning to another career field is going to be a challenge.

R156 check the photo linked in R23

Fug.

I feel sorry for Matt. To be honest, I don't think he's a good porn star. He's boring. But I would like to see him get tag teamed by some big meats.

We have the meats!

No doubt severely mentally ill.

Like all porn performers.

I guess he doesn't realize that in the porn biz he's passed his sell by date.

Shouldn't he move on to the other careers former porn stars go to?

r164 Again, despite my having asked several times, NO ONE has posted anything to suggest he's going back into the porn/escorting business.

Yeah - seems like he’s just living his life with his partner. Probably just working on being healthy and sobriety. He’s lucky to have the ability to do that.

R165 "I am back" is his own words, maybe he meant to say I am back to Twitter, however that sounds like he is craving for some attention missing in his small town life, we know where that will lead to

Where does he live now?

[quote]rich gays with questionable intentions

At first I read this as rich gays with questionable interiors.

He does very well doing personal training..and his BF is not poor.

R170 personal training or security guard for dollar general?

I was never a fan of his - just didn't find him attractive for some reason - but I'm glad he seems to be getting his life together and I wish him well.

r171 well you can hate on him, but he struggled and overcame addiction, which is a hard addiction to beat (meth).. Especially since it is very easy for him to get in his profession.

Before you judge him you simply must listen to his "boo hoo" video where he cries over Zeb Atlas.

A tribute to some of his fallen comrades.

That’s a nice post. I wonder if it’s harder to age when you were once so beautiful—or knowing that never were and never will be.

Sorry you’re hideous, r176. 😞

I read that he is a homosexual. I think that will ultimately hurt his career.
