Thanks Lurking Reader you NAILED this one
“So are APAC mouthpieces lobbying for or against condoms in porn? Hard to tell with the song they’re singing re Sheen.
If the industry protocols are so great why all the concern? Big old face palm award for every FSC, APAC, AVN, x-Biz etc associated person painting Sheen as the bad guy vs touting how FSC testing protocols are the gate that keeps HIV out of the performer pool.
So let’s see over the past year efforts to lobby against AHF and condoms said FSC testing gate and Truvada are effective barriers and now Sheen is a big bad wolf blowing down all the rules of honor and industry self regulation? That’s a problem because Sheen isn’t in the industry and his undectable viral load is less of a risk than performers walking out of strip clubs with newly infected acute HIV whether or not the client pulls a Josh Duggar.
Kinda clears up Diane Duke’s obsession with performer personal relationships though.”

I remember when the Cameron Bay stuff started being written about, there were comments (here, everywhere) that she was dirty, doing drugs and having risky sex outside of work.
My point is there is a double standard in how diseases are interpreted by the public based on gender. Of course, it takes a brave person to admit they have HIV, not only does it bring awareness to a disease that is not as life threatening as it was in the 80’s, it encourages public discussion about sexual health.
I also applauded when Evel Dick (Donato) from Big Brother went on couples therapy and announced he had HIV. Tough stuff, I understand. So, just something to think about. We all know about Charlie’s tabloid history, but it is kind of remarkable that he is not being slut shamed near as much as he could have been.
I know I’ve said this before, but regardless of gender sexual health should be protected, ESPECIALLY if sex work is your business, with reasonable health care coverage.
Hopefully the next AVN awards won’t have that ridiculous skit about civilian stds now, hopefully even a blind man can see what a load of bull that is. Condoms for everyone that want them, I say.
Thanks for kudos Mike, wish I weren’t running like a one armed paper hanger cuz this would make a great post to get quiet & really write.
Not for nothing why is FSC via trained puppet voices still helping uptight pearl clutchers add stigma to performers who fall prey to their occupational hazards?
