Report that Tyler White has died

maringuy said:
The tragic loss of wonderful Tyler along with 2 other models in the same week illustrates in pretty stark terms that we have a serious problem on our hands and makes me wonder as a subscriber of their work what, if any, part do I play in it. Just looking back over the past 12 months, the numbers of dead young models is quite shocking and is beginning to make me feel more than just sad, but a little disturbed. Anyone ?

To me, being a big fan of these young porn stars has always been a double edged sword. Particularly when the models posted on the forum on a more regular basis and we the fans would gush over them, and tell them how much we admired them would urge them to continue performing for our entertainment. As I always knew and would say it on the forum from time to time, that this is a dark business and I would never want anyone who I knew on a personal basis, (a relative or a guy I knew in my personal life) to become or remain a porn star. There is largely a dark side to the life of being an "adult entertainer".

However I also wonder if it is a "chicken or the egg" syndrome here, as does the life of a porn star bring these kids to do these dangerous things or does their personality of enjoying drugs and a wild life bring them to this field to earn quick "easy" money? I think it's a little of both. I so admire the guys who've worked for Broke Straight Boys, (or other sites, but Broke Straight Boys is my point of reference), for a short period in the lives to "sow their wild oats", so to speak, and then left the industry and gone on to live more "normal" lives with partners, be it male or female, and in some cases raise a family and look at their work here as a youthful experience.

We don't know what happens to most after they leave here, but some that I do have some knowledge of that make me happy to know that they survived the industry and got out relatively unscathed are Adam, Logan, Tanner, Jason, Diesal and Tank Shane. I would also just speculate that Ayden and Gage Owens are guys that were not as "into" the negative aspects of the lifestyle as others, but that is purely speculation on my part.

When forum folks pine for stars of the past to return here, I on the other hand hope that they've gotten the "porn thing" out of their system, and would prefer that they perhaps appear for an interview, if they would be comfortable doing that, just as a "whatever happened to" segment. But I would guess that they would rather not as their current lifestyle and partners and perhaps children might learn more about their past than they are comfortable sharing.

It also makes me uncomfortable to find out that former Broke Straight Boys models are on twitter or other social media, trying to get back to film porn or offering themselves as private escorts for fans to earn some quick cash. Those are the one's whom I fear might be on a dangerous downward spiral. Excuse my rant, but the poster asked if anyone had thoughts on the subject and those are some of mine, based mostly on speculation with just a few facts.
 
Overdoses are more common than you might think. Most of them have not done porn. All of them, most likely, had the same disease of addiction.

Thank you Mikey. I appreciate you adding your thoughtful response to my original post.. Good insight and food for thought, and your opening comment on our pursuits being a double edged sword is certainly spot on. I would add we should always strive to keep ourselves firmly planted in reality and simply enjoy every scene as pure entertainment and nothing more. Of course just my personal opinions here and observations. Thanks guys.

So eloquently stated Mikeyank, as always.

Did this boy have a family, a loved one?

He did have a family from the Boston Area. He was close friends with some of the models here who have gone on to be quite successful. But Tyler evidently had drug problems all along and wasn’t able to pull himself together enough to be successful back here or on other sites. He always maintained he was straight.

TRUE

The drug that kills the most people in America today is smoking, but it tends to kill you when you are old and ugly and not that many people care.

Next is Alcohol, which gives you a break until you are in your mid-thirties to mid-forties. At that time the alcoholic generally becomes dysfunctional, and dies directly from the disease, gets sent to a nut house, (where they switch him over to deadly drugs that will kill him quickly) or gets sent to prison.

Opioids are the most addictive set of drugs there are. Anyone who takes them will become addicted, if they take them for even a very short time. They kill more people than automobile accidents or suicides. This is the reason we see so many overdoses in hot guys like Tyler and in young pretty people. (Apparently they give you and unbelievable feeling of euphoria and make you feel the way you want to feel) The problem is, an opioid affects your judgement when you take it. In your diminished capacity, you think the answer is to take some more opioids to get you back to normal. This eventually results in overdose.

Bunches of people are killed everyday by overdose and not just the hot pretty ones like Tyler. This happens among my well educated colleagues. You wish they'd know better, but when you try to tell them, they rarely listen. So so so so sad!

People decide to do porn for various reasons and not all models are addicts! However addiction in any form doesn't have a preference on who you are. You can be a street wise kid from Boston (TW) or the first lady of the USA (Betty Ford). This is a disease and it's very hard to kick it without a solid foundation. Tyler I feel wasn't a steady guy with both feet planted. Loved ones can only do so much, the sick one must want to go to any lengths to get better. Sadly some peoples "rock bottom" is 6 feet under :crying:
 
Just an FYI, there was an obituary on the national news about Tyler along with another "star" that died. It was quite informative and mentioned Broke Straight Boys

I'm not sure if this is the same article that SFP is referring to, but I found this one from something called "Pink News". It really does not offer much new information, except the tweets by Damien Kyle, the quotes from Sha that we already read and a comment by Ryan Fields.

https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/06/18/gay-porn-star-tyler-white-dead/

And another similar article from "Queerty".

https://www.queerty.com/gay-pay-adult-film-star-tyler-white-dead-25-20180614

And actually anyone can google "gay porn star Tyler White dies" and now there are a whole bunch of articles, with basically the same information.
 
This video was originally posted on this forum by Stowe1, a number of years ago. It has now been updated and expanded. It is called, "Dead Gay Porn Stars Memorial". Many of the early ones shown died of AIDS, but after that it is amazing how many died of suicide, homicide and drug overdose. There are also quite a few from drowning and auto accidents which indicate living wild, reckless lives. We also see a bunch who died of diseases which may have been drug related, as young men don't usually die of liver or heart failure.

I was told that two former Broke Straight Boys models are mentioned here. I only noticed Dustin Michaels but I may have missed the other. I do know of my little sweetie, Mike Robbins too, so perhaps it was he who I missed when watching this. Were their deaths connected to their being porn performers? Maybe. Again as I said earlier on this thread, I don't know which came first, the chicken or the egg? Did their carefree, "live life to the max" attitudes lead the to porn or did porn lead them to drugs, and situations where they might be killed as in all the homicides? Whatever the case, death of a young person is always especially difficult to accept. RIP Tyler White and all of the performers mentioned in this video.

Thanks for finding these. I saw one that they quoted Shanon but not either of these. Thanks also for posting the video it is really sad and just think of all of those we lost who weren’t famous for porn.
 
And under similar threads is the thread that I see that I started in 2018 reporting on Tyler’s passing.
 
That is the second gay porn star from our era I heard recently , who died at such a young age. The other is Alex Riley. Both had a large fan base and were said to have great personalities & were kind. Such a great loss to those whose lives were touched by thewm.
