Damn, brothers, THANK YOU, for a DEPRESSING, but ultimately PRICELESS thread.
Let me add my 2¢...
I fell in LOVE with Candace Von the FIRST time I laid eyes on her YEARS ago.
This was PRE-internet, back when we still consumed PORN the OLD fashioned way...on DVDs!
I walked into my local porn shop, saw a DVD compilation of scenes featuring BUSTY women with a ROBUST looking Candace on the cover and I said to myself "WHO the fuck is THAT?"
I'll put it like this - if the myth about BLINDNESS and jerking off were TRUE, I would have lost my eyesight a LONG time ago, jerking off to that comp. featuring Candace on the cover!
Cut to few years later. I discovered, much to my NAIVETE, that PSs work as "COMPANIONS." Who knew? Not me!

. And who was ONE of those who did? None other than Ms. Von.
So I reached out to her, YEARS ago, and got the SAME sketchy response "Virgin" did. Not only that, but when I Google'd her number, I got someone ELSE'S info! But where I differed from "Virgin" is that I used THIS board to air my suspicions and it paid off.
None other than ANOTHER major black porn star posted on my thread that Candace was not to be trusted.
But, remember, I had a SERIOUS crush on Candace. So every time she came to town, I'd still reach out to her and get the SAME sketchy response, so I'd drop it and go on with my life.
Cut to 2017. I'm getting older. ISIS is killing us left and right, and who knows when our time is up, so I'm considering seeing my ATF PSs before they retire or "Bobby Bin Laden" plants a bomb under my seat!
That was until I read "Virgin's" story. Sorry, Candace - you and I are THROUGH. I do learn from OTHERS misfortune and you will REMAIN a "fantasy" for me, sorry to say.
But THANK GOD for a site like TER where if you do your "due diligence" you may avoid the TRAGEDY that befell "Virgin."
Shout out to Mr. French. Damn, he's like our WIZENED elder! A bit CRUSTY sometimes, but ALWAYS on point. A toast to you, sir!
