Ex -porn star Cameron Fox has died. He along with Alec Powers were two among the 1st group of guys I used to dream about hiring when I first started looking at the escorts site. They were both featured on a site called Boys Next Door run out of Colorado. Back then I never thought I'd be brave enough to make myself hire.

 

 

For you youngsters out there- here is some info about him

 

http://www.smutjunkies.com/profiles/f/o_stars/Fox_Cameron/index.html

 

 

I'm trying to remember if he showed up on Dave's Man To Man Site for a very brief while.

Over the years while I still fantasized about hiring Cameron, I started reading on-line that he wasn't trustworthy. That he had taken people's money for travel and never showed up. In fact I think the main site that he was advertised on, Boy's Next Store finally put up a warning about him saying he wasn't trustworthy.

 

I actually met him briefly. There was a big gay dance club in Louisville, Ky. I cant remember the name, but there was a sister club in Atlanta with the same name (this would have been around the year 2000). I know the two clubs were no longer named the same years later. And by his time both of them may be closed. But at the time, this was one of the newer/fancier/largest gay clubs in Louisville). I don't really dance , but it had several areas- there was a bar area for people who didnt dance. They also had a see through shower near the dance floor. It was a glass/lucite enclosed shower. There was a slot in the door that you could stick dollar bills through. I don't know if the club is still there- downtown area not terribly far from Korsair's Children's Hospital. But at the time they would bring in porn stars. I was there one Friday- Cameron Fox was supposed to be there Saturday. Well I stayed around the bar - hoping maybe someone might be interested in me (didnt happen as usual- and I was only 41 or so at the time- much slimmer than I am now with a scootch more hair).

 

But they also had some go-go boys taking showers, so I was looking at that. At then I went back to the back bar. And there was a guy with his shirt off dancing on the round bar. I remember he could really wiggle his butt fast back and forth as well as gyrate his pelvis. And he was taking shots. I can't remember if he ever took his jeans off. He might have pulled them a bit low when receiving the dollars people were sticking in the waistband.

 

He was a handsome guy. I thought it was just one of the regulars a bit drunk and happy to be making some money. Then I really looked at him. I realized it was Cameron Fox. He was headlining the place the next night. I was thinking that maybe he had come in a day early- was bored and decided to come down to the club and make some money- and maybe a connection.

 

I finally approached him and slipped him a few dollars for dancing. Eventually I asked him about escorting. I think he didn't have the best reputation even then. But I wanted to make sure he would bottom and kiss. I can't remember what he agreed. It was difficult to make arrangements in the noisy bar. But we planned on me meeting him at his hotel after the bar closed.

 

Well if I remember right, in Louisville in the bar area- last call is 4 AM. It was pretty late when he left the bar. And I went to meet him. First I had to find my car- I had parked several blocks from the club. Then I had to find his hotel- no GPS in those days. I probably either asked directions or bought a map from a service station - this wasn't my city. I remember getting to the hotel and going inside. I don't know if there was a security guard- but I was going to have to go by the front desk. And I chickened out. I remember calling him on what was probably my big clunky Prime-Co telephone at the time. He didnt answer the phone. I left a voicemail and apologized for canceling but told him I was too scared. And so my virginity lasted another six months to a year until I arranged time to meet former star Dallas Taylor.

 

I think he might have been in porn articles for a little bit after the year 2000. But there were all those disclaimers about him having accepted money for travel and then never showing up. I wonder if there were even any reviews and or warnings of him on the previous version of Daddy's that we can no longer access. In any case I think he gradually faded from knowledge shortly over the next few years. I hope he had a good life.

RIP. Another one younger than I. :(

T

 

Rest in peace!

 

I don't know if it's the moment or the thread to do it but I found this article on out magazine about so many pornstars and escorts who die young.

 

I'm sure some of yinz might consider inappropriate to raise this subject, but I think I should post a link and if you want to read I hope it brings light to this subject.

Wow. Those names take me back to the very start of all this.

 

Cameron Fox was with Forrest for awhile. I remember being surprised that he was listed as living in Tulsa. Never took the plunge though because of the same stuff that Gareth heard about him.

 

I was crazy for Dallas Taylor though. He used to have a website with camera and you could watch him at home. Not sure why I never tried to hire him. Think he quit escorting before I could lure him up here. Had the same luck with Blake Harper.

 

Alex LeMonde (?) was the another one. He and Kent Larsen were roommates in LA for awhile before KL ended up in Dallas and I was able to finally meet him. He was friggin' awesome.

 

Definitely sad news.

You would think there would be some reveiws. Lots of things in the forum still available though.

Every time I read or hear about someone choosing this final act, I think about how we could all be better humans and care about our fellow humans a bit better.

 

Simple random acts of kindness go a long way.

 

Maybe the outcome would have been different.

 

 

Just something to think about.......

 

We don't know yet whether it was a suicide or not. While tragic in any case, maybe it was from natural causes.

+1 western. How about this, maybe before posting something about someone such as not liking their looks or build think about what you would say to that person if they were standing in front of you and you weren't just an anonymous voice on the internet. its so easy to hurt someone, and it really doesn't take much more effort to be kind instead.

My post was about being kind to others.

 

Well it was in language I wrote it in.

 

Not sure how that has a different meaning across the Pacific

 

I didn't take it as mean-spirited. It's probably what many of us are wondering. The news stories I can access still dont list a cause. I'm very surprised that it's making the news in Australia considering he wasn't a Hollywood star. And his porn career was years in the past.

It's sad and disheartening when a young (ex)porn actor in his thirties passes away.

 

It's normal that people wonder and ask themselves what happened? Why so young? You cannot control people's thoughts. Just visit the comments section at Queerty.com and you'll see what I'm talking about.

 

In the meantime the family has announced that there would be a cremation in Tulsa, OK and no memorial service (per their request).

 

We can only extend our condolences to Cameron Fox's family and fans.

Many of us, who have been around the porn/escorting world, for a period of time, have lost someone we knew. I was acquainted with Josh Weston and was very fond of him. He was an extremely sweet guy who exuded a degree of vulnerability that, to me at least, was touching. I met him very early in his porn career; his first Falcon DVD had just been released. As time passed the industry seemed to virtually eat him alive; it was sad and disheartening to see.

 

When I see very young guys become involved in the porn world I become concerned. Many are simply not old enough and mature enough to deal with the psychological challenged they encounter in the industry. The porn world is riddled with drugs usually starting with Viagra and continuing from there. Many of the guys find themselves virtually living on steroids in order to maintain the body that the porn studios require. Those guys who abuse steroids in their twenties often pay a terrible price in their thirties.

 

It also appears to me that older guys who become escorts but not necessarily porn performers fare much better. Being older, more mature, and frequently better educated they appear to be able to handle more successfully the psychological challenges that often defeat the younger guys. I know several financially successful escorts who began escorting in their early or mid-thirties. I don’t know any financially successful escorts who started escorting in their late teens or early twenties and are financially successful in their thirties and forties.

 

Sorry for the long diatribe. The one caveat that I must offer is that I really don’t have any proof for the above conclusions other than my own personal observation.

Epigonos, I kind of feel the same way. I've only been involved in this for a bit over a year and the amount of emotional carnage I've seen scares me. Like you, it's all anecdotal, I don't know if there is more stress/suicide in this population than in the general gay population or what. I realize that there are exceptions to everything, I'm just talking about my very own extremely limited observations. One thing that's strange though, is the symbiotic relationship between clients and escorts. Each group has something the other group thinks they want. We need and depend on each other, but that doesn't keep us from treating each other terribly at times.

Yes, it's mostly about sex, but it is a reminder to those of us who hire that these young men have hopes and dreams just like we do. Don't wanna sound all polyana, but it's too easy to treat these guys with disdain or disrespect. If you have a favorite or two, give 'em a text and just say, "how ya' doin? Just thinking of you. Hope you are OK." Won't cost you anything (unless your phone plan sucks. lol) Cheers.

That's a two way street. Clients often have their troubles too. I should know. Escorts could contact clients they are especially close to.
