Why is the suicide rates for male porn actors so shockingly high?

[BustyNurseMomoko]

Saw on internetarchive the website of Shelly Lubben and it had a page dedicating a memorial to dead porn stars and there are a lot of males. Still far less than females but the numbers surprised me and there are a few testimonies listed of how almost all died by suicide. Some even went on a crime spree in the style of robberies resembling wishing suicide by being killed by someone else and even mass shooting (with one incident involving a guy coming to an office and cutting people apart with a katana before getting shot by cops).

I'm quite curious why? Its so common to see comments across the internet esp in places like XVideos, XHamster, and Pornhub things like "he (the porn actor) is the luckiest guy in the world!" and "If I was the porn star, I'd ram that girl as hard as I can!" and other such comment. You don't have to look hard even outside of non-porn stuff and in SFW chat of guys wishing to have sex with the hottest girls alive for a living since they think its the greatest job in the world!

So why I ask? Guys online (and I'm guilty of it too under older other online usernames across different sites) thinks it so awesome and ramble on and on about how its the greatest career to have so its so surprising to see an un expectedly high number of suicides!

Because at some point it becomes a job and the fun is gone lol

I suspect as you said, many porn actors wanted to just have sex with hot girls,
but then realize the pay is super low and the sex is just calculated positioning for
the best angles and etc.

I seen some behind-the-scenes of western porn and surprisingly with all the crew, lights, 'stops' 'repositioning' etc, it looks unappealing.

And getting off near the end is sometimes done by a fluffer, drugs, masturbation, stand-in,
or other male actors.

Oh the suicide rate is probably due to the mental illness of the guys, just like the ladies,
that was always there.
No psych evaluations are given to porn stars, so you don't know what you're getting from these men and women.

Suicide rates just tend to be higher among men in general. And people may enter porn industry with a bag of personal issues that makes them more vulnerable later…

I think it must hit you hard if you never manage to approve what you're doing for a living, and it must be hard to handle being casted out of society like this... No matter how much I fap to those gals, I don't think I would be able to choose this line of work... Making my own video looks way funnier

Not a good career move unless the goal is to make quick money and use that for something
else. Only a few pornstar has that idea.

I just don't understand why doing porn in this day and age.
Now there is only fan and a bunch of other website where your can post your stuff while keeping in control

I think many are in western, europe countries and JAV actress do streams. But I think the difference is maybe JAV actresses are seen in such a bad light and can do other things if they become an idol or something.
