51. There was a male porn actor recently who altered a positive test for syphilis

Saying they know the risks doesn't mean that somebody can't be an asshole and put them at risk.

Fortunately neither actress got syphilis and I believe the guy got a short jail sentence (a month or so I think). But I think condoms should be mandated because everybody lies and even recent tests don't always catch things soon enough.

I think producers should be responsible for the safety of their employees. lumberjack_jeff Dec 2013 #22

I've said this before also Major Nikon Dec 2013 #124

Because there is a health issue involved and this is high risk behavior so barebacking should be hrmjustin Dec 2013 #25

What's "bareback"? nt xulamaude Dec 2013 #90

no condom JI7 Dec 2013 #93

Seriously? CFLDem Dec 2013 #48

its only enforcable to a certain extent, there is more and more amateur loli phabay Dec 2013 #2

this would apply only to professionally produced stuff, not amateur home movies nt geek tragedy Dec 2013 #5

remember though a lot of the amateur stuff is better produced than the pro stuff nowadays loli phabay Dec 2013 #8

amateur stuff isn't commerce, so it's not subject to that kind of regulation nt geek tragedy Dec 2013 #11

technically it is part of commerce, as you pay to be a member of a site that hosts loli phabay Dec 2013 #17

no objection to enforced weekly/or some frequent time period/ testing of all porn participants quinnox Dec 2013 #32

So, you being able to see 'what's appealing' in porn is more important than worker and geek tragedy Dec 2013 #35

I don't think it's particularly artistic, but that's beside the point gollygee Dec 2013 #69

So it's not a legitimate form of expression then, in your opinion? cherokeeprogressive Dec 2013 #72

I said that it is beside the point gollygee Dec 2013 #74
