Deathray 2,942 Posted September 3, 2017 19 hours ago, Sir Creep said: Is it common for gay porn actors to leave behind a wife and children? Very. The majority of them are straight guys who've been drawn into the industry by offers of pay for gay or couldn't make it into the straight porn industry. Drug addiction is often a driving factor as well (as mentioned in the comments on that page, how does a 26 year old die of a heart attack?) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I quite detest modern porn, all neatly trimmed to bald as a badgers arse pubes, perfect teeth, faces and figures, huge silicone tits and men hung like Donkeys born after the Chernobyl fallout. A lot of it isn't even sex anymore, it's just vulgar where the women are just treated like absolute shit. Give me the 70s stuff any day. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they dug out the few survivors of the 70s porn era and obliged them to re-arrange their aged bodies into the combinations that got them paid back then; would you pay good money to have physical copies of the results posted to you in a plain brown wrapper. Pun intended or not but...there's the rub eh? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pun intended or not but...there's the rub eh? Well, no. As an aside, Juliet 'Aunt Peg' Anderson ( 1938 - 2010 ) star of countless US Porn Films from the Swedish Erotica stable did return to porn in the late 90s. I'm now wondering about how many of those 'mature' porn stars out there have been banging away for a couple of decades or more. I can think of Ron 'The Hedgehog' Jeremy off the top of my head but are there anymore? Who can demonstrate true staying power! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,637 Posted November 12, 2017 Good question. IAFD lists Jeremy's career as lasting from 1979 to 2017 (apparently he had his official on-camera retirement this year?), so 38 years. That equals the career of Herschel Savage, who was popping shots from 1974's "Hardly Married" to 2012's "Handjobs and Handcuffs". Joey SIlvera managed 44 years though, 1971-2015. Careers for female performers are, unsurprisingly, somewhat shorter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair the female performers who stay drug free and sane tend to get paid more per movie on average than their male counterparts. How many of them invest that and reap the rewards I dunno.

How many of them invest that and reap the rewards I dunno. The female stars from the bygone era didn't actually get paid that much. Anderson, according to the wiki page, seems to have been ripped off at one stage and led her to retire and do other stuff, although her stage show carried on regardless. Candida Royalle is, possibly, the best known ex performers turned directors. A few others like Nina Hartley, IIRC, did have the odd jaunt into films where shagging was not on the agenda. Actually, a great many porn actors/actresses began their careers in film/TV work before going into porn. There is an old and poor quality cine film out there of, allegedly, Joan Crawford giving somebody a blow job. I've seen it and I have no idea if it is her.

maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted November 12, 2017 So an honourable exception to the list above is Andrea True who made a fair bit of dosh filming a porno in the west indies only to discover that taking said cash out of the country would result in a sizeable tax bill. She - therefore - spent it whilst out there recording More More More (her biggest disco hit - for which the lyrics are pretty much an account of her professional skill on screen). Granted her career tanked later and she made a late period return to porn, apparently. I've long rated her music as subtly subversive but can't say I'm familiar with the screen career.

maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted December 15, 2017 Aye, so the problem with picking porn stars is the sheer randomness of who's gonna die and when; loads of them have emotional baggage and drug habits along with the constant stress of smashing out product to maximise the money in a short term career. Just sayin' like - but we could do with a poster on the inside of all of this. Anyone hereabouts actually involved in that business? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also the timing of it all and how the person dies play a factor,seems unlikely someone of Yurizan Beltran's level of relative popularity would have gotten that Daily Star writeup if not for the Augst Ames story a few weeks. And even August Ames if she just died of a regular old fashioned OD or suicide would not have garnered that much news if their wasn't an accompanied story about internet bullying.

Weebl 216 Posted December 17, 2017 I was going to say these things come in threes (Shyla Stylez, August Ames, and Yurizan Beltran) but then Tera Bond was another one! Probably about the only person who has been in porn I can think of who is still alive and is actually Deathlistable is Ron Jeremy. These young women dying cannot really be predicted, but an ageing fat sleazy bastard who looks like death warmed up has got to go sooner or later, and probably sooner rather than later.
