Matt Cole Packs It In

There's something to be said for calling it quits at the top of one's game, especially when one's game involves porn; after all, there's nothing more depressing than watch someone fuck when it's obvious they're no longer enthusiastic about their job. So while we're bummed that Matt Cole is retiring a mere four months after winning Best Newcomer at this year's GAYVN Awards and that we won't be seeing him in action anymore—well, anything new that is—we wish him all the best as he pursues his other passions in life. (Now, uh, what were his personal training rates again?) Read Matt's farewell statement to his fans after the jump.

From Matt Cole:

I can assure you all that this decision to leave the industry was not inspired by a "lover" or any other person in my life. At this high point in my career I decided it was simply time for me to move on. I have had an amazing 2 years in the industry and wouldn't change anything for the world. I entered the business with the intent of doing it for a year or 2 and never had any idea it would grow to become what it has. I believe that I am leaving the business at a time when I am on top and will be remembered for all the good work that I have done. I have met amazing people, traveled to places I would never have imagined and had experiences many men could only dream of. Life is a learning experience and I believe everything we do is meant to teach us and to help us move to the next level. Before I was a porn star I was a personal trainer. Many of you that know me know that fitness is a passion in my life. Simply put, training is something that I miss. I will continue to dance and make appearances at clubs and charity events, but the majority of my time will be focused on other avenues. I hope that you all will keep in touch with me and continue to enjoy my body of work for years to come. Thank you all again for the continued support and love."

P.S. For the record, my accounts were all mysteriously deleted for me. I had nothing to do with the closing of my Yahoo group, email account or my myspace page. Apparently someone else wants to send me into retirement as well. I can now be reached via email at xxxmattcole@yahoo.com.
