Why do porn actors kill themselves?

Why do porn actors kill themselves? Hey guys I came across with a memorial video about gay and str8 porn actors, that kill themselves, some of them at 21 years old. (GEE) Why is this happening? - It was drugs? - it was studios not treating them well? - it was the feeling of dehumanization? - it was loneliness? - it was the vague but all encompassing “porn industry” that did it? - it was their HIV+ status? - it was the feeling of being hollow? - it was his loss of validation after being a star for so long?

READERS COMMENTS ABOUT THE VIDEO

"A lot of suicides ... very sad ... and so many well known faces succumbed to HIV ....and yet you still see lots of bareback videos .. mind you HIV isn't the death sentence now that it was back in the 80's & early 90's" euronick61

"Thank you for doing this. I knew Arpad distantly and Roman (Dror) pretty well. I didn't see the gay community marginalizing them, or others, but their deaths made me wonder if there is something darker in the industry than we can see. I do know the studios really take advantage financially. Michael Lucas is worth millions, as are others. As a therapist, I once wrote to him to suggest some kind of screening for suicide. I got the brush off. It is still a mystery to me -- I think the beauty of men should be celebrated, but why this terrible cost?" John Burton
