Hawked

'And no matter how popular or successful they are, the young men are quickly chewed up and spit out — no longer needed in an industry that constantly requires fresh faces, and always has another flock of desperate 18-20 year-olds anyway.'

I don't cover many porn stars on FH. I have no real problem with porn, I have crushed over more than a few Corbin Fisher guys, and for the most part know those involved know exactly what they are doing, are of legal age and just making a living.

I also know however the industry, for both men and women, attracts a degree of young people desperate to make a buck. Some struggle with mental health issues, may feel backed in a corner and end up in porn not for fun, nor really by choice, but by necessity. I guess this is true for many professions but with porn the stakes can be much higher, the results much longer lasting and the vultures that much more lethal.

I watched an interesting movie last week, All Boys, a documentary going behind the scenes of Prague's Gay Adult Film Industry. The film focused on one industry's most prominent producers Dan Komar and many of his models. Dan didn't try to hide, nor seemed to see, how he was sadly working through his own issues through his models, thinking these young men, one in particular, loved him.

The one in particular was Aaron Hawke, Hawke coming from Don thinking he bore a resemblance to actor Ethan Hawke. Don plucked Aaron off the streets at 18 for obvious reasons, Aaron has an incredibly beautiful face and body and delicious blue eyes. His story is sad one however, with Aaron struggling with mental health issues and never able to give Don everything he is looking for. The movie ends with Aaron, pretty much washed up in the industry, homeless, back on the streets of Prague. There is something sadly fascinating about Aaron journey that held my attention.
