First and most important with his look he should have been fired, he had no business being in gay porn Next and I quote, "Loftis argued he wanted to guide students away from making the same mistakes he made, and that what he did was not illegal."

So he feels being in gay porn was a mistake? I do agree as he is so ugly but what kind of message does this send to his students?

Good for him.

It's about time that people, especially people in authority, transcended the usual hyprocracy in the workplace. Making porn is legal. Viewing porn is legal. Many many millions of people buy or otherwise view porn in this country with the advent of the internet-- straight people, gay people, single people, married people. Many of those who would argue that a prior history of involvement in porn disqualifies someone from becoming a teacher, policeman, fireman or whatever are consumers of porn. Application of their standards to their own lives would disqualify them as the same or even as parents.

A person's history is just that -- history. There are prior acts that do disqualify people from holding certain positions -- comission of murder, mayhem, drug running and the like seem appropriate disqualifying prior history. There are others as well.

Bottom line, unless someone has committed significant crime, if he is qualified to hold a certain position and practices the ethical standards that position requires then his past history should not be disqualifying factor unless it bears on his competence to execute the responsibilities of that position.

In addition, I'm sure that he is quite appealing to many men and women. No doubt his video sales confirm that.

I always thought his World of Men travelogues were quite educational. A quite splendid way to learn more about the geographical differences in the world.

While he's not necessarily my cup of tea, I wouldn't go so far as calling him ugly.
