My email has indicated that at least among female performers this issue is MUCH closer than it appears. You have a few vocal porn chicks doing Fabians bidding, and it is Fabians bidding, 75% of the money to fight this fight has come directly from Manwin, per their own numbers, but there are an awful lot of very well known porn girls who agree with Aurora Snow and are just staying quietly in the background but are going to vote Yes on Measure B.
As one girl said in her email she is tired of getting treated for Chlamydia or Gonorrhea every couple of months because these guys will fuck anything off set, including each other. She said there is no respect at all for their fellow performers.
When asked about it in an interview in Tampa with Creative Loafing a while back Jenna Haze said:
” It’s the best thing for us to go condoms only and have everyone tested. Some people are talking about making it condoms only and not having people tested. That’s just stupid. Condoms aren’t a big deal. Some think condoms will be bad for sales, and as a company owner, it may be bad at first, but if all of the companies are using condoms and that’s the only porn out there, people are still going to watch it. No one is going to stop watching porn just because of condoms. And me personally as a porn fan, I’d rather watch two people that I know are being safe than watch two people and think, ‘Wow, I wonder if they’re going to contract HIV?’
Another performer said “I don’t need the FSC telling me we are below the national STD rate, that’s bullshit, I know how often I get the calls telling me I may have been exposed. I am voting Yes for condoms.
Now admitted I do also get emails from those who believe that forcing condom use is an invasion on their right to choose but my point is that if you are inside the biz it seems like most performers do not support Measure B but that perception is almost certainly wrong. Even if you look at the attendees of the fundraisers and anti B rallies the number of performers present are very small relative to the total number of performers.
Polls still show passage of measure B by a pretty wide margin.
Here! Here! for Jenna Haze! I think the condoms for the females sake should be enforced in the Porn Industry and in the Valley. These female don’t need to getting calls from FSC and the testing facilities that they may have been exposed to HIV, because the Male talent they worked with went on a weekend of unprotected sex and shot a scene with 4-6 other females in the following weeks after.
Vote yes on Measure B and protect the industry talent.
That is funny! Whooaa. These guys will fuck anything off set and even each other. But there are some veiwers who like to watch those guys bareback and dream that it’s them having sex with the male performer. Yep, I can see the reason for those condoms and why those girls would want them used too!
Your article is misleading. The interview with Jenna was posted on October 19th of 2010. She expressed her opinion about condoms a long time before Measure B even existed. Jenna advocated that porn companies be condom only. There is a difference between companies voluntarily being condom only, such as Wicked Pictures for example, and the government coming in and forcing companies to require condom use. In the interview, Jenna did not say anything about the government getting involved in mandating condoms.
Of course there is no mention that the vast majority of female talent also escorts and if the john/date pays extra the escort will take him on bareback. They make it sound like its just the male talent thats fucking off set.
I know some folks (based on comments on other boards) have stockpiled lots of porn and put it away for when the condoms measure passes and they won’t have to buy condom porn any more.
One thing for sure. Its really fucking hard to catch HIV from a female talent. Guys are the ones that are carrying all the diseases. Guys are so desperate for the cash and need to pay the rent.
Remember, porn is just masterbation material for those men who can’t get a girl and aren’t even married. Load up on the fleshlights and the lube oil. Its the only piece of ass the are going to get close too.
Hey folks, heres a new one for ya!!!
Due to Viagra, it has become harder (no pun intended) for some male talent nowadays to reach orgasm. If they have to wear condoms, the scene will take forever to shoot, if the guy can do it at all, that is. So this issue will actually affect their ability to perform in porn, period!
