Why we retired from porn.
After a successful career shooting and selling porn we were hit by two disasters.
First my wife was in a near fatal car accident and expected to die in the night. She thankfully survived after 10 days in an induced coma in the trauma ward then 6 months in body caste.
Then I discovered the lump on my neck was cancer which was stage four. After intensive chemo and radiation it took another year to bring me back to anything like healthy enough to look after myself.
This happened mid 2007 to the end of 2009 and by then major customers in the US and UK had stopped buying any new material. This was a major problem losing large part of our magazine business meant we could no longer make the money we used to. Because online porn was never going to pay as much as offline porn.
I was also 60 years old and with money in my private pensions, money still coming in from the sites I decided to enjoy the last years of my life. Recently my kidneys gave in, due to the chemo, and I'm housebound.
So please stop saying I failed because I didn't make as much as people you pretend to know.
