“Doe says he notified Kink.com weeks later, but the studio kept his status a secret from other actors.” that’s the rumor I’d heard that made the consent angle a slam dunk on the two lawsuits we discussed in comments here last year. beyond acknowledging there is a third suit to my knowledge no one has publicly torn apart this third lawsuit.

Keeping in mind this is all still rumor I’m leaning toward the fire not mirrors behind the smoke. Insurance companies know it’s bad for business to sue policy holders so they mostly fight to minimize their payout, raise rates or pull out of certain markets aka create blind pools where potential policyholders are assigned rather than choose an insurer.

Can’t imagine a scenario where an insurer suing a policyholder “must cover his own legal bills and possible settlements in three lawsuits filed by HIV-infected porn actors.” unless that was their best option to minimize the payout. Which means they expect this to cost lots.

Even if he had worn that condom for the whole sex act there is still a risk of VD even assuming no irritation caused from it. Condoms do break and slip off of the penis — even during civilian sex, herpes and syphilis lesions aren’t always covered by condoms, someone could have herpes of the mouth and pass it on while “eating her out”, etc. Certainly a condom should not be reused (they are less than a dollar each in the US even in small quantity, it is unnecessary to re-use condoms if someone has any brains at all) but they aren’t perfect anyway. There is always a risk of VD during sex, if you can’t accept that than you are too young or anal to fuck. Civilians should use condoms in most instances (if you are in a long term monogamous relationship and one of you has been clipped condoms may be a waste of time and money) but sex in porn is just too hard on condoms and condoms irritate pussies so they aren’t reasonable to use there.
