I agree that Aston did have that look, particularly as time went by, similar to street hustlers who had "chemical issues". I first began observing young straight identifying guys who turned tricks possibly to get high, back around 1975 when I was 25 mostly in Fort Lauderdale and some here in New York City.
It is interesting to see that almost forty years later, the same kind of guys exhibit the same personality traits and get involved in selling their dicks and asses for quick cash. Just as there always have been and probably always will be the same percentages of the population who are gay, and bi, etc., that there have always been the percentage who hustle, or do porn and live that life on the edge which can have terrible consequences. We've seen the tragic end of both Dustin and
Mike Robbins from our own
Broke Straight Boys family, and I've heard rumors of other former models reaching a tragic early demise.
