Just another power move by the FSC to corner whats left
of the industry.

And shouldn’t there be AT LEAST one real medical doctor on that board, not a “sexual health expert”, whatever the hell that is?

Yes, I think many are afraid of being blackballed, making agents/directors upset, not receiving an award, not being able to earn an income via the only means they feel they can, having people in their “normal” lives finding out about their “adult biz” life, etc.

Making agents/directors mad? Maybe being blackballed by avn and they’ll never give you a plastic award or write about you? I’m starting to meet women my age that have HPV, and other internal problems and end up needing hysteretomys. These are women that have done a lot less than the things that I have done in porn. That is what I’m afraid of. Where will these people be when that happens?

I’ve never seen such a fearful group of people in my life.

Or to pick who they wanted to work with, for non condom work. In Nevada brothels, girls get weekly internal testing with an ob/gyn and aren’t even allowed to work with so much as a yeast infection. That would be nice. I had never even seen a yeast infection before I got in the industry.

But I suspect even with this great new system in place nothing of the sort will happen. I often wonder if somebody is brainwashing my fellow members of the industy who want to argue with me about how safe the industy is.

That’s true for ANY industry. I’m not a porner, but I know what union looks like, by whatever name you wanna call it.
