Happy Hands

This was definitely an interesting - and sobering - one to research.  I had no idea a lot of these guys  were dead.I choose not to list porn stars that died of AIDS or murder, preferring to focus on the ones that came to a bad end because of choices they made. I was hoping to highlight their human failings and an industry that can magnify an existing problem, despite the fact that the community often elevates them to demi-god status.Hey, I get that most of the guys in movies are just living out a fantasy, and that this industry has waaay fewer victims than straight porn, but they’re stumbling around like the rest of us too. Maybe the adulation they receive for their dicks and bodies left some of them with not much else to rely on when the cameras stopped rolling.  Just a theory….happy-hands-final.jpg

    It’s a diddling doodle! YOU are ruining porn for us! Though, I was scanning for Joey Stefano. But you did include twilight spoilers, so your not all bad.

    I have plenty of issues with the industry but the weird attitude towards porn “stars” can also tip bizarrely in the other direction.

    I really love your piece, but how it’s read will entirely on the audience who reads it. An urban gay audience will approach it completely differently than a straight crowd, or most women. Anything with porn is a lightning rod for a lot of strange projections.

    Keep on making cool shit!
