Bobby Clark, Phenix Saint, and Trevor Knight are just a few of the gay porn stars who promised us they were retiring, but then un-retired five minutes later and went back to making gay porn. Here are 15 gay porn stars who have kept their word (for now) and actually stayed retired.
And it’s always the good ones who go away forever, isn’t it? Almost all of the people on this list (save for one or two) would be welcomed back with open arms and open holes. Here, in no particular order (except for maybe #1 and #2!!), are the top 15.
(Note: All dates are approximate; click photos for more details on each performer’s retirement.)
What is Patrick Kennedy doing now? Did he make any encore performances?
They article tells u dumb ass.. RETIRED
What ever happened to Rod Mitchell ?
Ryan Mynatt aka “Tommy Anders” was the greatest gay porn star ever.
HOW ABOUT ROCCO REED
AND
EDUARDO
Loved Eduardo. He wasn’t overly hung but used it well and was great as a bottom too! To me, he looked like a guy from a Tom of Finland illustration.
Leo, Kurt, Brent, and Mason came back (Mason for 1 scene)
Why isn’t my husband Jake Genesis in this list? He should be. Love you shmoo. Enigma
Chris Porter is a very beautiful man.
Leo Giamani is now doing scenes on “the guy site”. I feel that once a person has been in this industry for as long as some as these individuals have, going back to a rat race of a life is a bit odd and out of their normal. Sex is the job, it makes money, it bays their bills. It comes easy for them, being a porn actor is not for everyone, and it is not as easy as one might think it to be.
Can anyone tell me the name of the guy sitting in the chair? I’ve seen him in several porn scenes from the late 80’s to early 90’s but the porns were compilation films with no credits. I’d love to see more of him.
Chris Porter & Aiden Jaric are very beautiful men !
Scott Tanner! Dude has a really great dick and had amazing last few performances getting fucked really hard.
Love Derrek and Leo. I wish they come back.
Does any one know what happened to Sean Diamond, I know he moved to Hawaai worked for Daaks agency until2001 but now he has disappeared. Can any one help e find him, he is a friend of min
Sean passed in Hawaii. He was a good guy.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW SEAN DIANMOND DIED?
I see this was posted in ’15, are you sure this info about Sean Diamond passing in Hawaii is accurate and true? I too was friends and roommates with him in Los Angeles in the mid ’90’s. Just wondering what may have become of him.
Hey Anonymous, any idea what happened to Randy? He was a friend of mine in Hawaii in the late ’80’s, introducing me to a way of life that i needed at that time. We met up again in Los Angeles in the ’90s and were roommates for a spell. Just wondering what became of him. Can you email me, please.
please can you tell me how sean diamond passed and when exactly
please tell me how Sean died and when?
I see this was posted in ’15, are you sure this info about Sean Diamond passing in Hawaii is accurate and true? I too was friends and roommates with him in Los Angeles in the mid ’90’s. Just wondering what may have become of him.
Vince Ferelli may have had a Rentboy.com ad back in 2012 or earlier, but then, many who were gay porn actors appear to have promoted themselves in this way away from appearing in gay porn, it would appear?
Having recently written a bio about Vince, I do know he is now mainly engaged in working as a mainstream actor … and something he did before he became a gay porn star.
I know that some are less interested in Vince, but I am an unapologetic fan, and love the man as a gay porn star and a human being who was hot on film and as a model.
Where is Justin Gemini(sometimes spelled Gemineye) ? Is he retired or doing anything like escorting/dancing and in what city?
Haven’t heard from him since 2006/08…..
Leo lapdanced at Adonis Lounge NYC within the last two months. Nice enough guy, but I felt his sex appeal was gone. Says he’s done with porn … Simon Dexter is periodically (including currently) on Rentboy NYC and, I assume, travels around renting himself out.
if you have info on Leo please post. Saw him a couple times years ago, so hot and nice, then he met a guy in LA and stopped, but have heard he may be “working” again.
Jeremy Bilding still escorts in LA. Very hot.
Leo Giamani (and Tony Mecelli & Filippo Romano,) come back to us!!!
I agree NOT LEO yes PLEASE come back!!!!!!!!.
I wish Mason Starr and Derrek Diamond would “unretire.” But most importantly, I hope they’re doing well.
Whut? Mason Wyler didn’t talk about his personal life? What rock do you live under? He had his own blog and commented on many forums.
Hummm…let’s see the average the life span for these GAY porn workers if they become popular, is roughly 3-4yrs..so it’s about due time for their departures…any longer they would be over staying their welcome..:-)
Does anyone knows what happened to TUCKER VAUGHN? He’s my favorite one and i don’t see anything about him anymore… ;(
I think this may be the best of the late 2000s, but there are many others who never returned from the 70s, 80s, 90s. Jeff Hammond used to be my porn idol growing up and coming out. Whatever happened to him from the 90s?
Gimme Vince anyday. One of the best muscle bottoms I’ve ever seen.
I’m very satisfied to not be like others and delve into the private lives of these performers. All of them are hot and did a great job when it was their time. BTW, What? No love for Aden Jaric? He was awesome and smokin hot. Miss him so much.
Excuse me, but when is it “private” when they do interviews and blogs about their problems….for which many blogs and other gay porn news portals write about? If you have a problem with the public forum, then do everyone a favor, and cancel your internet subscription.
Just and FYI, FYI I honestly don’t care what porn stars do off camera. It’s what they do on camera that counts. You apparently need to hear about their gossip just to have some kind of life. How sad is that?
You come here to talk about them too! Otherwise, you’d not bother posting replies the first place. So you are full of shit, and have no credibility to complain about others doing so.
You are a troll, nothing more and nothing less.
Yet you felt compelled to comment and post on this blog…..repeatedly. The fact that you consider Leo Giamani an “awesome performer” is laughable to say the least.
Ugh. You people are so stupid. @FYI I’m commenting on their performances, not what they do before or after their performance. You seem to think you’re right to criticize WHATEVER these models do. If that’s how you feel, go for it. But don’t criticize others who choose not to.
@Estelle. I said Aden Jaric was an awesome performer, not Leo Geomani. Is there anything wrong with praising someone?
“If that’s how you feel, go for it. But don’t criticize others who choose not to.”
Why don’t you follow your own advise for starters!
I don’t know about Aden-Jaric haven’t heard any-thing from him lately./ Same goes for Tommy-D who had a side job as a construction worker./ Vince-Ferrelli had a Rentboy.com AD up awhile ago don’t know if it’s still active or not haven’t been there since the storm hit New-York state and knock it off-line./ You know Kevin-Crow retired from gay-porn by lying and saying he was going back to Art-school so he could switch to str8-porn as [ Billy-Hart ] so I don’t technically consider that retirement? from the porn industry at all,The only thing about that is str8-porn has a way of turning it’s male talent butt ugly./ Riley-Price has a new blog website and hasn’t said yet whether he will return to porn or not you will just have wait and see./ Simon-Dexter aka Harley What’s a Liar,Hustler and Jack-ass & also crazy slut who is still working hard for the money on Rentboy.com/ I don’t know what gay fans saw in Kurt-Wild I was never interested in him maybe because he was a married ( G4per ) with kids after all./ Bad boy Brent-Corrigan had a bad habit of creating trouble where ever he go during his time in porn right up to the very end./ Mason-star problems started when he did that disgusting sex act with a woman call {str8-4 pay} let him stay retired./Jeremy-Bilding aka Ryan-Driller another G4per liars,fraud,and ass-hole who made the switch to str8-porn all I can say is good ridden./ Chris-porter he was a okay kindna guy by me I didn’t have a problem with like other peoples in porn or out side of it either so have nothing bad to say about him period./Kennedy-Carter what an amazing gay man with a incredible ass-hole he has between those cheeks of his and a sexy boy-friend to go with them what a lucky bastard./ I feel sorry for Mason-Wyler for getting aids or HIv no matter what other peoples say about him he was a damn good porn star while it lasted I alway like him and still do./ Derrek-Diamond I will miss him no matter he doing now because gay-porn lost a true porn star of a very rare kind that can’t be replace./ Leo-Giamani turn into a nut-job over time when some fools reveal his true name so what?get over it ass-hole and deal with it I see he didn’t let that stop him from escorting for money.
Some of them are still working… in straight porn. So I’m not sure if they can count.
someone needs to change the pre-requisites for this list
If I could pick three people to un-retire from porn they would be Shane Rollins, Kurt Wild and Bobby Blake!
Isn’t Bobby Blake a born again ordained christian minister now? I seriously doubt that a comeback is in his future!
Yes, yes, yes for return of Shane Rollins! A true blue verse with an amazing butt and enjoyed getting plowed.
Outside of Mason and Derrek, the rest were total fuckups and idiots. And I’m excluding Mason and Derrek from this because they kept their own personal bullshit to themselves-nor did they do anything to attract unwanted publicity. They never talked, and that is why they are missed and liked most of all.
does retirement from porn and turn into a trophy whore for a fashion designer count? Then Harry Louis it is… despite my harshy comment I did not hate him and I still follow him on twitter.
From the list, the one I missed most is Mason Star… and agreed with the folks above that Chris Porter looked much much better pre-buffed-up dates. He looks pretty white-trashy now
This just looks like a weak attempt to draw attention to the guys that left. Let them enjoy their retirement. I am pretty sure they didn’t ask for this attention. Just sayin…
I think I’m one of the two guys on the list that would NOT be welcomed back but I’m glad I still get mentioned from time to time.
By the way, is Paul Wagner retired? nothing new appeared since ages!
(sorry, it was not meant as a reply to Mason who, by the way, can be assured that many would like to see him again around ^^)
Mason whether you would be welcomed back or not. You were one hell of a performer who put it all out there in your scenes for the companies, for your audience. You were/are hot as fuck and went out blazing with a major studio and had a hot scene with Jesse in the process.
I think you would be welcomed back.
Mason:
I have always been a fan. I know you have had a rough time, with some far too quick to forget just how hot you were on film as “boyfriend” material, and as a blonde (and especially with pubes), you were sizzling hot for me, but I will not forget how you stole the scenes with magic and chemistry … a volcanic mix that worked to make sexual fantasies cum true for many!
Miss you! Bless you!
Take care,
Marc
Mason Wyler has done some work with Raw Fuck Club.
Only ones I will miss are Leo Giamani and Vince Ferelli .
Derek Diamond looks good on this pic but I didn’t like him as a porn actor .
Porter potty poo poo : good riddance , should have taken his ugly ass boyfriend/father with him.
>should have taken his ugly ass boyfriend/father with him.
wwwwwwwwwww
Whatever happened to RJ Danvers?
Last time I checked RJ went back to school, is working in retail, and I think he blogged for Fabscout
I understand he had a severe crystal meth habit when he was working in porn and that’s the reason he kept looking thinner and thinner to the extent it was really unhealthy looking. So he retired and last I heard he was working in a comic book shop which is great for him because he liked comics so much he used to blog about them.
lmao!~ Love the Riley Price pic! I wanna see Vince come back and bottom some more!
Unfortunately, Colby Taylor also retired, and … my big favorite Brad Patton
What about Josh Weston, Blue Kennedy and Roman Heart?
Blu Kennedy is very happy being out of porn and was very unhappy the few years of his career. Josh Weston went out with guns blazing with his SX Video work and was told he wouldn’t work in the “mainstream” arm of the industry again, Roman Heart ummmm…. it’s not good.
Leo Giamani will probably never come back. He had somewhat of a nervous breakdown after his real name came out on a number of blogs that were porn and non porn related. He spent the last year contacting bloggers and websites threatening fake lawsuits if his name wasn’t removed, which is funny because at least one of the Randy Blue behind he scenes vids someone calls him by his first name.
Vince Ferelli is a Rentboy hooker and interjected himself into the Joey Kovar death story on Radar Online.
Why was Blu Kennedy very unhappy during his porn career?
Blu was unhappy because of a porn related relationship with another performer. He wrote, that he retired because he wanted to date others outside of porn. Good Luck. Anyone with an internet connection can just Google you.
Blu will do just fine. I’m sure he found someone who doesn’t give a shit about his porn days and is willing to love him for who he is. You, on the other hand, I’m not so sure about.
I’m sure you’ve had many partners who loved you for who you are. I mean, they did stay a few hours after the first date, so I’m sure that is the standard you base your judgement to determine this.
What a failed reply that is. You don’t know me, but I definitely know your lousy attitude type. Have met some of them and always kicked em to the curb.
Right. SUUUUURE! It was ALWAYS is the other person.
Loved Blu Kennedy. Awesome verse!
Josh Weston died in 2012 due to AIDS, according to various sources.
Sad, as I really liked him as a gay porn actor.
That’s Tony Mecelli.
In order for me to take this list seriously, they should have been retired for at LEAST a year!
Also, don’t forget about Toni Mecelli!
awww I miss Tommy D. and Kennedy ! Tommy D. had hinted he was gonna do behind the scenes work in porn.. guess he changed his mind?
Leo G, hot-as-fuck/vacant as MySpace. Chris Porter LOL uh, um, uh, check one. yeayeayea boyeee!
Man, do I miss Tommy D. Nicest guy in porn ever.
I so agree with you. Tommy D was the guy who really put Next Door Studios on the map. He knew how to be a very pleasant and friendly and versatile star and site host and he was a savvy businessman. He went out while he was on top the way one is supposed to do
He left because saw the writing on the wall and it said “Cody is King. The rest of you are peasants. You are here to suck his limp cock until it is time for him to fuck chicks.”
The shitty way they treated Tommy D after Cody got his own site, even given that Tommmy’s site help build the fucking company, was disgusting.
Man, r u serious? Poor Tommy, this sounds so mean! I really prefer him to Cody. BTW I really don’t fell attracted to Cody, never did.
I feel it’s my obligation to say that I assure you, no one has missed “li’l man”-turned-white rapper Chris Porter-Potty.
Though, that photo does harken back to a time before the chin shrub and the weight-lifting supplements, when he had a certain shameful charm. Now, with the faux-thugged-out Twitter feed and the “music” career/unemployment, it’s just bleak for our “li’l man.”
Your pathological hate for Chris Porter borders on obsessive and simply makes you look like a bitter loon. Methinks thou dost protest too much.
I agree. Love how Marinoni wants us to be “assured.” Okaaaaaaaaay! LOL
haha right? She speaks for all of us apparently.
NOT for me!
:O MASON STAR RETIRED?
I didn’t know that, why?
does anyone know the reason?
He said he wanted some time off because he met someone (Will Wikle)
Will Winkle, good grief.
Much more likely that he retired because he met someone with tits and a pussy.
Your number-one choice is perfect. Well done, Zach. Leo was the HOTTEST. Find him and bring him back!
I saw him in Philly few months back (4th of July). He is smoking hot!
Curious, which ones are available on rentboy?
A couple of them are available on rentboy. Is that still considered retirement?
Which ones???
AARRRGGGHHH!! This list contains some of the best of the best of all time; save for one or two. Sucks!
The best of ALL TIME?
Seriously?
You do realize that gay porn existed before 2000, right?
what cracks me up is how some people take this site seriously
Derrek Diamond, what a great loss for gay porn!!
Anyway I wouldn’t accept in this ranking any retirement below one year, too soon!
Wild needs to return for a gang bang.
How could you overlook Tre Xavier? Racist!
lol!
Don’t worry Diesel Washington will be here soon to complain about that!
oh as if this site would EVER feature someone non-white.
LOL well said..i thought twas just me who noticed.
Kevin Crows still does a LOT of porn but straight porn.
Leo is still escorting in SD. You just have to find the local ads in papers around town.
Would very much like to know the names of those papers.
Yes, there must be hundreds of publications that feature men willing to fuck for money.
