It could have taken a long time for Kylie Ireland to have developed her latex alergy. My Mother developed an alergy to cough candies. She was frequently eating them for months and then started having headaches. My Mother quit the cough candies completely when she realized what was happening.

I believe that for condom scenes, non-latex condoms should be used instead because it is uncertain when someone could develop an alergy to latex. I use latex condoms myself and I now worry that I could
develop an alergy. I’m thinking about getting non-latex condoms. The jilted person talks as if latex alergies are extremely rare. I’ve read otherwise: “According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, between 5 percent and 15 percent of workers who use latex gloves will develop latex allergies.”

There is a difference between a performer choosing to be condom only and the government forcing people to use condoms in porn scenes. Kimberly Kane has criticized condoms being mandated by the governmant but she personally prefers to have condoms used in her sex scenes. During January of 2011, Danny Wylde put up an interview with Kimberly Kane on his website. Kane said she “was condom-only for two years.” Kane talked about doing non-condom scenes again. In reference to condoms being used on porn sets: “Not a lot of people give you the option. It’s not really an option because the product isn’t a condom product. That’s the gig. That’s what you signed up for.”

To answer one of your questions, per the CDC website the risk of the transmission of increases with thoses who have multiple sex partners, have a sexually transmitted disease, engage in rough sex, or are infected with HIV.

There were anal and DP scenes in the Golden Age, but they weren’t as frequent and they didn’t include A2M. Other than AJA back in the 80’s, the whole squirting thing is relatively new – or at least its prevalence. You have to think that the increased exposure to bacteria and bodily fluids beyond semen and vaginal excretions puts people more at risk and the extreme nature of many of the acts increases the risk of tears and abrasions that put people at risk.

would this be the same Kylie Ireland who claimed to have an encounter with michael Jordan?

Allow me to quote her
“He wasn’t really kinky or nasty or anything like that. But the question I get asked is did he go down on you. Yes he did. We did several different positions. Before we started going we were rolling around and kissing and fondling. He was, oh, I don’t have a condom. He picks up the phone- whoever- a teammate or I don’t know, towel boy, condom boy, I don’t know what they have. Hey, he goes can you get me some condoms. Next thing you know they’re slipped under the door. They were actually too small. He had to pick up the phone and call again. Once the condom issue was solved we went our merry little way. That was it. It was a fun night. I don’t regret doing it. ”

She didn’t have an allergy then…maybe she developed it…but funny I seem to recall when Kylie was a condom only performer. IIRC when she did a comeback scene with Tommy Byron she made him get a full battery of tests…

I guess thats ok for Kylie but not OK for anyone else….

From my current experience in working on Hep C clinical trials. This is a disease you DO NOT want to take lightly. The effectiveness of current therapies: interferon, ribavirin, telaprevir and boceprevir is limited to certain HCV genotypes. Even upcoming oral therapies in PHIII trials are limited to specific genotypes.

jilted says “I have never seen one single article in over ten years in the adult industry press, bay or straight about an allergic reaction to a condom” Kylie Ireland has written about having an allergy to things made of latex. Kylie wrote about her allergic reaction to sex toys on the set of The Violation of Kylie Ireland. When Jessica Darlin was an actress in x-rated movies, she mentioned allergy to latex condoms during an interviews. Who knows how many people, that have the allergies, don’t mention it because the subject does not come up in an interview. There are condoms not made of latex, so there are substitutes. I have read that it can take time for a latex allergy to develop so it can can be underestimated when it comes to how many people that have it.

And since there is not standard industry testing for Hep, B or C in the industry, how are the reports of who has what verified? I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just saying there’s a lot of questions here that won’t be answered until verified, recent, tests of all talent are done.

Every case is one too many and if your going to complain about some or any for Universal precautions that THE American medical Association is based on in theory and practice, you need to revisit the statistics of every study that has been done since the first US pandemic.
