Actually in many areas a person can already bank his own blood for an elective surgery. A blood bank where people can bank blood in case of an accident wouldn’t be much of a stretch from what is already done. However, that only works if you have that unfortunate accident in your home area. It would take too long and cost too much to fly your blood from NYC to SF or Grand Rapids to Abeline to make it workable.

In the current political atmosphere seems the industry testing discrimination will in itself likely be grounds for a lawsuit by a disgruntled gay performer. This morning read that FDA and several other alphabet agencies are not only attacking the 32year ban on gays giving blood but actively pursuing repeal of the ban …not because the blood supply would be safe but because it would be discriminatory to leave ban in place.

Crystal Ball prediction…look for blood banking services to sprout up across the USA. Blood Banking has been around for a long time & used by many undergoing planned or elective surgery. When not if the ban is repealed it seems logical that someone will make a buck marketing banking ‘just in case’

Shows that I don’t keep up with the gay side of Kink (I am not gay). I guess they may be looking for a director for what gay sites are left soon, then.

There is an exception around giving blood, but even that was under attack. It’s another example of porn just making it up as it goes along and getting away with it because regulatory authorities just find it icky to deal with pornography.

Nick Moretti hasn’t been there in years. They stopped filming on three of their sites, Naked Kombat, Bound In Public, and 30 minutes of torment. Sebastian Keys and some hanger on named Porno Bobbie do most of the casting and production on the gay side of Kink. The problem is that they use some gay talent to shoot on their TS Seduction and Divine Bitches site and most of those scenes are condom free. I don’t know if they cut the gay sites because of the testing issues, they weren’t making money, or that they were very extreme in what they did.

A number of performers that worked on the TS and Divine Bitches site, shoot bareback for gay productions.

As for the cause of their mandatory condom for gay shoots policy not being enforced I don’t know if it is the gay talent manager, Van Darkholme himself (he does not have the greatest reputation) or upper management. I have a feeling that if there was actually an HIV transmission at Kink as described in this post and he is even remotely at fault Van Darkholme will not have his contract renewed when it expires just as Princess Donna’s was not renewed after the tit implant puncture that took place on her set a couple of years ago. I don’t think Kink would have a problem finding a replacement for Van Darkholme, they already have Maestro Stefanos who is purported to swing both ways and could take over the gay sites on the payroll full-time. They also have a separate director for their gay wrestling site (I think his name is Nick Moretti) already so he could possibly take over Van Darkholme’s sites and work full-time for Kink.

As for the head of gay production being put on sabbatical, I don’t know what that means in porn but in post-secondary education that means the university allows a professor to not teach for a year to work on a special project of his liking while receiving full pay and bennies from the university and guaranteed reinstatement to his professorship at the end. If a sabbatical in porn involves receiving full pay and benefits while not working with a guarantee of reinstatement (I doubt it means he is working on a special project, I don’t see how a porn company could require that) when over that really isn’t much of a punishment for him.
