Jon Dough dies..
Hailey dies,,
Chico Wang dies..
Brian Surewood in major trouble,,
RedLight disentigrates into another feeble porn company..
Ditto for Platinum X ..
seems every ten years bad luck presents itself in this industry,,, going back a while,, Savannah kills self,, Buttman, Tricia, Daren James and Brooke get lives changed by HIV
is this industry cursed or what? ,, these are all good people just doing their job,, would be curious to know the statistical probability of this industry leading to tragedy,, or is it the same in all lines of work,, i am a meatcutter and i have done this for 16 years,, and still have all my fingers and have never even needed stitches,, So in a nutshell does this line of work does this profession have higher risks than the average blue collar job?? or do we only hear about them due to the rampant use of internet forums,,
my heart goes out to all that have endured great losses whether it be death,,, sickness or disease,, I love porn and probably will always love the fantasy of it,, but I do feel compassion for what it has cost to those i enjoy viewing
laters to all and to all a good nite

Not that they should be compared to the deaths but I think all the retirements really bummed me out this year too. The legal troubles for Five Star and Max are also not good for any of us. The "success" of Shelly Lubben, XXXChurch also have bummed me out....

The thread about Chico's death has his real name in the subject line instead of the name by which he was known. It makes it easy to overlook. As many replies as that thread has (mostly by ragingbull), I think it would have twice as many if the subject line said "Chico Wang found dead".

Maybe I'm not seeing what everybody else is seeing here as far as Red Light and Platinum X. By what measure are they feeble when they are still churning titles out and branching out with Amataer and Candy Shop labels?
As far as cycles I imagine its similar for many high profile jobs. Look at Wrestling and WWE in particular. In the last few years we've lost Eddie Guerero, Chris Benoit, Bam Bam Bigelow and many many more.
Any job/lifestyle that has a large amount (I'm not saying everybody) who routinely act like Rock Stars is going to have its years where it gets ugly. It happens for the music industry. It happens in Hollywood (look at the former teen princesses and how lucky we are none of them have died driving the wrong way on the freeway) it happens in wrestling, it happens in porn.

I think the deal with Red Light/Platinum X is that for a good part of this decade, they put out some of the best stuff out there, had some of the most talented directors, etc. For whatever reason (personality clashes, money disputes, better opportunities), many of those talented directors have moved on and without them the quality level has diminished. I like Red Light/Platinum X, but definitely feel like they are fading. Most titles these days are merely ok. They do still have the occasional title I really like. I have been enjoying Mark Wood's work on Young Tight Latinas and enjoyed his first installment of Wasted Youth. I also really liked some of Juan Cuba's first titles, but haven't really watched much of the stuff that has come out lately. They could come back strong, but I think it will take a while and a commitment to up and coming directors and quality. By the way, I think their recent initiative of giving away a free dvd with each new title clearly shows their problems. They are having to clean house and liquidate their product as well as needing to use an incentive to boost sales.

No curse here...simply the law of large numbers.
There are more and more pornstars than ever, and the vices and dysfunction often prevalent in this industry take their toll on careers and lives.
Porn stars in the 70's and 80's had tragic endings as well, but you weren't gonna find out about it on the 11:00 news. The internet keeps everyone in the loop.

I think that in any day to day activity you are going have ebbs and flows. With all incidents in life there will a portion of the population that will have things happen to and around them.
Law of averages man. As for the porn retirements, some are to be expected, girls come and go.......a lot of them come back and when they do, they are hotter, do nastier things, need money and are more real than the work they did when first performing.
I sometimes wish they would just retire as soon as they start so that they will come back all nasty and real.
