I have had private conversations with him as well. Those justifications just don't fly. It doesn't impact my ability to have empathy for him. However, it logically doesn't make sense. There are countless "gay for pay" performers that have girlfriends. It seems every Tom, Dick, and Harry that films porn says they're heterosexual. I'd estimate 75% of those men are in relationships with women.
Given the historically low standards of women, and the recent shortages of available men, there are women out there that will marry him. In his case, those justifications and projections provide him some means of soothing. The truth is, if he wanted a woman, he'd have a woman. His recent co-star Derek of Gayhoopla is in a porn scene with his girlfriend and "Sean Costin." So that example alone pokes holes in his logic.
All signs point to an identity crisis and issues related to his self worth and sexual identity. Pornography and sex work are customarily places for those with histories of abuse, to attempt to suss out their issues surrounding self worth. He is gorgeous and undoubtedly has the capacity to be successful in the adult space or any other area of his life. It may require medical intervention, but it's possible for him. I can relate to his feelings of helplessness. Though he has a few key factors working in his favor: he's attractive, he's racially ambiguous, and he's masculine. In this society those things can open many doors.
Although a prick, Thor Johnson is an example of what he can accomplish financially. One thing I suggested to him in the past was creating his own dildo. Thor did it recently. That alone could help provide some capital to do other things, like starting another business.
