Death of a Porn King
Rolling Stone September, 20, 2007 Issue
Around 4:30 a.m. I was struck by insomnia and began reading my husband's Rolling Stone magazine. I normally steer clear of because it really just doesn't interest me but I thought about Dr. T reminding us of how we need to be aware of what the masses are being exposed to. I flipped through the mag. until I came to the article of Death of a Porn King. A good murder mystery always interests me. This is a story about Bryan Kocis, a gay pornography mogul, Sean Lockhart, a twink porn star, and Bryan's vicious murder. To sum up the story, Bryan was gay and enjoyed surfing the internet for young gay men that he could bring back home. He had recently been arrested for bringing home a 15 year old boy and filming himself having sex with him. He was at a low point in his life, financially speaking, and wanted to make big bucks quick. He decided to begin filming "bareback" porn in his basement. Bareback in this case means anal sex without a condom. His goal was to find an 18 yr. old that looked 12. Mission accomplished once Sean came into the picture. Within a year, the DVD's were selling for $60 a pop and internet downloads were going for $0.08 per minute. Bryan was bringing in over 2 million per year. Sean wanted to branch out on his own - he wanted a bigger piece of the pie but Bryan didn't want him to go. Near the end of their court battle, two men wanted to begin a porn company with Sean. Sean couldn't because of his contract with Bryan. The night after their meeting, Bryan ended up dead. Who killed him - Sean, the gay porn star that wanted to be on his own, The two that wanted to start a company with Sean, or the parents of an underage boy that he had seduced???
The two men did it - Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes.
This article got me thinking - it made me mad - furious really. I can't' even begin to imagine how I would feel if it were my son that this man had taken home. I've never seen porn so I don't understand why so many are attracted to it. The masses are apparently watching the gay porn if Bryan was able to bring home 2 million in one year. The Bible denounces homosexuality and pornography so there is nothing good that can come from the gay porn industry. Has there always been an underground world of gay porn that Christians naive ignored? Why are so many young men willing to sell their bodies to this crap???

Because some people need money, and some people enjoy having lots of sex with other people watching. Porn may not be natural but sex is.
I guess you really are naive. Blinded by your fairytale religion no doubt.
