Gay porn star Markie More

Gay porn star Markie More has announced that he is retiring from porn and is instead getting involved in anti-porn activism.

More announced his retirement on Twitter and shared a link to a Fight The New Drug, an organisation that helps people make “an informed decision regarding pornography by raising awareness on its harmful effects.”

The former gay porn star wiped his Twitter account clean last week and posted: “I’ve decided that I’m officially done with the adult industry.”

Gay porn star Markie More quit as he can no longer promote ‘lustful and deviant behaviour’

He continued: “I will be deleting both my OnlyFans and JustForFans accounts one month from today. If you’re subscribed to either, please unsubscribe so you’re not charged again.

“Thank you everyone for your wishes of wellness. Let it be known that I’m doing better right now than I have in all of my 26 years, especially the last 6.”

More finally got to the crux of the issue and said: “If you’re wondering, I’ve quit because I can no longer promote lustful and deviant behaviour.

“Lust is a monster, and the more you feed it, the hungrier it becomes.”

Posting again on May 18, More said he has shown “no hate whatsoever” to the porn industry.

“If you think this, then you’re either confused and/or misinformed.”

He continued by saying that he has seen the porn industry “destroy numerous people, friendships, relationships, families,” and said it “does far more harm than good.”

Markie More apologised for misleading his fans

More continued: “In the past, I’ve told people what they wanted to hear, not what I felt to be true or what they needed to hear.

“Unfortunately, telling people you fantasize real love isn’t something a studio wants you to say. So, instead I told lies, not even good ones either.”

He apologised for “misleading” his fans and said he will “speak truths” from now on.

Fight The New Drug is based in Utah and was co-founded by two Mormons, according to a gay porn industry website called Str8UpGayPorn.

Despite this, the group’s website says it has no religious affiliation.

The porn star worked with Next Door Studios throughout his career in porn, and his last scene is expected to be released next week.
