I read your story about the man who committed suicide. You are very good writer and so right in your thoughts and how you addressed the issues. I no nothing about porn stars at all, but one thing I do know is that we are all human and we all have a need to feel wanted, loved, and cherished. I write a lot about death. I think it is because I am/was an RN for 30 plus years until I found out about my brain tumor. Take care of yourself and God Bless you , Alesia
Dear Conner,
A really stimulating and beautifully-written blog. I’m confronting my own preconceptions about porn actors as I write..! Thankyou
