One thing that scares me about the transition to performer produced material is the possibility that people could agree to forgo the VD testing that has been virtually standard since 1997-1998 thinking that they know and can trust each other. That attitude could send a VD epidemic through the industry not seen since the Marc Wallice scandal. The only reason the Mr. Marcus syphilis scandal didn’t take off like wildfire and infection was limited to about 18 performers was the testing requirement (on some sets and a standard test with TTS, later extended to the whole industry). Marcus got away with two scenes during a syphilis infection and it was so infectious that within the then 30 day testing period it got to 16 other people that many of whom probably never even met Marcus. It is easier to dispense with VD testing when a larger company such as Vixen, Gamma/Adulttime or the old Vivid and Wicked are not involved.
