BEING a porn star has made dating extremely difficult for one LA-based actor and tattoo artist. Joshua Gray, who performs in adult films as Duke Daybreak, has been looking for a stable relationship in LA since moving to the city from Baltimore. But he’s so far struggled to meet anyone who’s interested and usually finds girls either want a one-night stand or are immediately turned off when they learn about his career.

Usually when I tell them, they're out the door, they're gone, they're running.” Josh recently went on a blind date to try his luck with a new prospective partner as part of the Dating Different series.
