Secrets of a Gay Marine Porn Star

Secrets of a Gay Marine Porn Star

YES, IT ALL REALLY HAPPENED JUST LIKE THISâ€¦

Hereâ€™s the story of Rich Merrittâ€”the good son, teacherâ€™s pet, Southern gentleman, model Christian student at Bob Jones University, Marine officer, and the not-so-anonymous poster boy for a New York Times Magazine article on gays in the militaryâ€”whose complicated sexual past caused an international scandal when The Advocate â€œoutedâ€ him as â€œThe Marine Who Did Gay Porn,â€ putting his life in a tailspin. Itâ€™s the compelling, poignant story of how a boy who never listened to pop music, never cursed, and didnâ€™t have his first drink until he was eighteen exploded into a life of drugs, alcohol, promiscuity, prostitution, and pornography. And above all, itâ€™s a triumphant story of self-forgiveness and identity, of a man who refused to allow himself to be defined by the standards of anyone elseâ€”gay or straight.Â Along the way, Rich Merritt writes with humor, compassion, insight and naked truth about:

Â Â Â â€¢Â What itâ€™s really like growing up behind the â€œFortress of Fundamentalismâ€ and how he ultimately came to despise their views
Â Â Â â€¢Â The harsh realities of military life under the â€œDonâ€™t ask, donâ€™t tellâ€ Clinton policy
Â Â Â â€¢Â A real insiderâ€™s experience of working in the male porn industryâ€”the good, the bad, and the extremely hot
Â Â Â â€¢Â Why he chose not to reveal his porn past to the New York Times journalist
Â Â Â â€¢Â What it felt like to be the most notorious marine in the world and what it took to come through the fire
By turns harrowing and heartbreaking, angry and affirming, Secrets of a Gay Marine Porn Star is that rarest of memoirsâ€”a fascinating slice of life that reads like the most absorbing fiction, but is all true.
