'I think it's always funny when we call call them pornstars' muses pornstar Damian Ford in Jochen Hick's documentary 'Sex/Life in LA 2:Cycles of Porn' (highly recommended, by the way, if you can find it). 'I mean, what is a star? How many movies do you have to do to be a star? One, in porn.' Right you are, Damian. I haven't seen every bareback porn video (I have an aversion to twink porn, crap like Eurocreme) but I've seen all the good ones (the Knightbreeders have escaped me because I won't do Paypal, the only reason) and I know most of the pornstars. So when there was internet buzz about the 'AIDS-related death of 'pornstar' Chad Noel, I was taken aback. Who? Chad Noel. AKA Donny Price. Who? It turns out Chad was in the Brent Corrigan video that was pulled off the shelves when it was learned that Brent was underage. If you have this video...something about a pool boy and under my radar because it qualified as twink porn, in my book...better throw it away because if it ends up in the wrong hands, you could be in a lot of trouble. But back to Chad Noel/Donny Price...and his 'AIDS-related' death: it didn't take long for the sermonizing do-gooders to get online with their tittering about the evils of barebacking, etc., you know the drill by now. They're out there in droves...these professional humanitarians clogging the circuits with their rhetoric. It turns out that Chad/Donny was indeed HIV-positive, but his death was not AIDS-related...some guys, who've claimed to be his friend, attest that the demise was probably drug-related, which certainly rings true. Drug abuse is the real problem, not calculated risky sex. It's been a while since we've lost a pornstar to AIDS...lately, the deaths have been related to drugs, abusive relationships and alas, that scourge of a younger generation...suicide. All of these causes can be avoided with appropriately-directed sermons. There are some good aspects to the bareback culture which I've discussed in earlier blogs.
Google 'Dead Porn Stars' and you'll find the website that lists all of the departed greats and near greats, and those of you of a certain age, will be taken down a path called 'memory lane.' It's a long list, including the best top in porn history, a guy named Chad Douglas. And the best bottom, well OK, it's a toss up between Chris (Danny) Burns and Jon (Gaines) King. What Bill Gardner or Paul Morris could have done with these guys. As of right now, I have known still more dead pornstars than living pornstars, but I'm constantly working to change that. Nothing brightens up your day more than a pornstar's dick up your mancunt. Yeah. I'd better work.

Knew Chad a few years back, played with him a couple of times, and yes, I'm afraid the scourge of meth is more likely to be the culprit here. I know, because it almost got me, too. He was a really lovely, and very intelligent, guy.
As far as porn stars are concerned, my partner is Kurt Wood, who is now a Treasure Island exclusive, but has also done work for 3rd World Kink and Cre8tive Juices. He laughs at the use of the word "star," but porn "actor" seems weird, too. He's just a guy who loves to fuck on video for guys who want to watch...not sure how that makes one a "star", but believe me, it's not a title he gives himself!
The fact that someone in today's time can die of HIV/Aids related causes speak volumes about them as a person.
Many guys use HIV as a get out of jail card. That they are free to bareback whom and whatever they want. They dont get tested for anything other than a simple STD and live a very careless life ( drugs bareback sex, lack of sleep etc))
One's body can only take so much! I was speaking with my doctor the other day and he told me that their was a huge rise in Hep C and that is becoming more transmitted through sex than the normal traditional ways. Yet I have fucked and spoke with several guys over the years and 80% are not on meds and are taking care of their body
The day I became POZ was the day I put my health first. I love taking loads as much as the next guy but my heath is the most important thing to me. I stopped using drugs, starting going to the gym and started taking care of myself. I ask information about the guys who fuck me and I also go to the Dr every 3 months and get my blood work done.
So I have no pity for their deaths because they could have been avoided and I hope others use their death as a lesson.
Hi Robert! Kurt & I have communicated and I think he's great and you're a lucky man indeed to have him in your life. I never met Chad but know others who have and they would all agree with you; in short, he was sweetheart. In the Falcon classic 'Below the Belt,' which features martial arts sequences, it is said that Chris Burns had to coach Chad on how to be mean and scary, because Chad just didn't have it in his DNA. That was real acting. As for those of us who appear and have appeared in porn, I prefer to use the term 'porn types' or 'porn figures,' we're not much more than that. Damian Ford suggested 'porn participants.' Pornsters doesn't sound serious enough...for now, pornstars (one word!!) is the term I'll continue to use.
