Love in the Time of AIDS

One might think that in porn, a type of film where sex serves as distinctive mark, there is no room for love. That in a discipline in which the actors and actresses have sex stripped of love for the cameras as professional work, the feeling of love, linked in many cases the same sex, is a great unknown. But there is great love stories in porn. One of those stories whose main character is John Stagliano, discreet dancer, mediocre actor and film director excellent X. He was responsible, for example, the introduction of the subjective camera in porn, which led to the birth of gonzo as subgenus. But, innovations aside, Stagliano has lived for loving impulses in the last fifteen years.
In 1994, John Stagliano went to Kristi Lynn in a movie and fell in love with her. Arranged a meeting with the actress and a month later, he was living with Kristi at his home in California. It was a brief relationship, but not friendship. Even after not continue together romantically, Kristi continued to share home with John for a year, in a liberalism that shows end with the life of those who work in porn. Kristi Lynn, a 24 year old girl who had endured a tough childhood and adolescence, had ambitions of becoming a singer. I had bad voice and yes many contacts. One day he made an appointment with actor Mark Wahlberg to produce a music video that would open way in the world of music. Dressed for the occasion, Kristi waited for confirmation of the appointment, but it never came.
Angry to see how his hopes of a better future is blurred in a few hours, took a car of John and went for a walk along the road from The Virgin. Hours later, police found his body between the mass of iron was left in the vehicle after going off the road.
That happened on December 7, 1994 and plunged into a deep depression Stagliano. Overcome with guilt and still in love with Kristi, John decided to commit suicide. But the suicides in porn are not like real life. Unless the option to blow his brains out, which underwent several actresses throughout history, most suicides that have occurred in the adult entertainment industry has had a component associated with pleasure, manifested mainly in overdose of drugs. Stagliano did not take drugs, so he chose a more sordid death. He went to Brazil, a country that once a year traveling to make films, and hired a transvestite prostitute to penetrate him anally.
When he returned to Los Angeles, Stagliano underwent AIDS tests. It was no surprise. Was infected with the deadly disease.
So he decided to die slowly, while doing what you already did, working as director in porn movies. A few months later, he burst into the American film industry X's first major AIDS epidemic caused by the actor Marc Wallice. The virus that infected Wallice carrying half a dozen actresses, including Tricia Deveraux robust, a splendid natural breasts actress who worked as a film school in the mid 90's. Stagliano called Tricia, with whom he had worked on previous films , and gave some advice to cope. Both kept staying and found they had much in common: both were in Chicago, had similar musical tastes and a similar personality. They soon fall in love. In 1999 they married and a couple of years later Tricia gave birth to the first child born of the union, a beautiful girl named Isabella Joi that despite being the daughter of parents who are carriers of the AIDS virus, no antibodies to the disease.
