There is a measure on California's Ballet this November that pertains to the Porn industry.
It has created controversial statements made on all sides. But let me say this. To those who are using the term Performers Choice is about as accurate as Mitt Romney caring about 100% of the US Electorate.
In the Porn industry there has been very little Performers choices regarding condoms ever.The producers of most all companies demand NO CONDOMS. not the performers. Most women prefer condoms for safer sex practices.
This is a male dominated industry who thrive in their businesses off new off the bus girls who have no voice in this industry.
Let me set the stage as to why I did turn down many porn offers before I began in 2006/07
In March 2004 I was still working in a gym as well as working for a agency in the private companion business.The man who was my gym manager happened to be coming over to have lunch this one afternoon.
I was planning on going to the Bunny Ranch that week so he phoned me ask if he could bring a girl he just met over. My boss had just met Lara Roxxx at the gas station down the street from my house.He has told her she was a porn star she needed to work out to help promote herself better.
I agreed to let him bring her to my house. When they arrived her was this little tiny framed funny girl from Montreal. She was young naive and yet very Worldly. As We began to talk and get to know each other . I was impressed with her. But she came to California with stars in her eyes thinking she was going to be a huge star.
She was really kinda cute. She wanted me to take her to Compton looking to meet Snoop Dog. I did need to explain what you see on videos are not what you see in real life.
Now in retrospect considering what happened to the little girl from Montreal. It is a perfect metaphor.
Lara's background and her story are all over the internet and a movie made documenting her life now as a individual living with HIV.
The meeting at my house this young woman confided in me that she had a huge blister on her ass cheek. What did I think? Honestly i scared me to death . It didn't look good. But considering that the day before IS the second day after she shot the infamous scene where she contracted HIV.
Lara did not know she had been given a sentence to a life long battle with illness,shamed and humiliation.I remember the huge blister but I did tell her it could be from having two dicks in your ass at the same time. I would think all that dick and moisture and rubbing would cause something.
I know that blister will forever be in my memory. Ask Lara Roxxx was it worth the little check the company paid her. I know her responce it is in documentation.
I chose not to do video for a while. I remember having conversations with Dennis Hoff. I said I can't be a hooker forever so I wanted to start a website that could pay me forever.
Dennis said "Summer give me 10 reasons to be in porn,I will give you 100". I will tell you Dennis is a very smart man and been around a long time.
But I did decide I don't want to be over shot,shoot for every company. I just need a few loyal fans.
I chose to work with limited amount of companies. One's who are not exploiting girls insecure behavior.
I am not regretful of performing in films. But I have always used extreme caution.The major issue with the industry itself is that there is no set standard on it's business practices. No set conformed testing . Now that AIM has closed it's doors. There are many performers not even testing let alone many using many different health screening locations.
There is no clear data base to even know who is fucking who in case of emergency. What this means is this. WHO is guarding the hen house?
It really didn't help that AIM had the data base of all performers get stolen or given away to out all performers in public.
The bottom line is . These agencies are offering their services of testing for a couple hundred a month.
But most performers are not shooting ,so not many are tested.
I can say there is a email circulating being forwarded around talent. Producer seeking any girl who is current with her test to shoot.
Many porn fans see what occurs on a set on a movie not behind the scenes.
Performers are dragged to producers office on go sees. Many producers use this go see method to ask for some blow jobs or all out try to fuck the girls. That's the standard now a days.If you want to fuck girls so bad pay them.
Another reason I didn't work with alot of other companies is this. If you want to fuck me. Grab your camera and your wallet. Pay me.
Now the stories I have heard besides since me moving to DC in 2008 has been how many male talent faking their tests. I had even heard about a male talent who called another persona to ask if they would pretend to be at the office of the testing facility to a girl when they called for est results.
Let's not forget how many industry stoppages. So my question is this. If the industry's testing was so effective in safe work practices. Answer this. Why so many stoppages?
The industry's wants to fight California on a basic work environment issues. The issue is. The producers/companies (outside VIVID,Wicked who use condoms).failed protecting the talent in this industry.
So weather you work at a insurance industry,a airline ,a Car company. You are protected by standards in practices and safety measures.
In a industry that literally can kill you there is NO standard. And to hide behind the cloak of Civil Liberties is such horse shit.
I can say this to those whom are fighting so hard to avoid using condoms in the industry is actually taking the rights of the performer.
This industry thrives on exploiting the young ,naive and insecure women. It is sad but true. Girls like Lara Roxxx come into the industry dreaming of big money,nice things and fame. More women leave the industry disillusioned and broke.
If the producers wanted to keep it a performers choice they would ask them from the get go. Would you feel better with or without a condom? That doesn't happen.
But let me close this story on what happened to Lara Roxxx when she was confirmed to have contracted HIV.
I was at the Bunny Ranch when I had heard the news that there was a HIV outbreak. The names had not been released.
I was returning home to L.A for a few days when Lara phoned me.Her manager threw her out in the street. She had no money no place to stay. I phoned a friend in L.A to take her some money and help her out.
The porn industry is filled with many guys only seeking extra pussy and cash. I don't fault them. We are all out here hustling. If a woman is dumb enough to be used. She can't cry can she? Bu hopefully they learn.
If you ask yourself this one thing. Wouldn't you want somebody to give a shit about the performers you enjoy watching on video .
These so called advocates say they are fighting for the performers No THEY ARE NOT! They are fighting for the companies and producers..
Most fans don't pay attention to condoms. And now is the time WE as a industry demonstrate safe sex can be sexy.. USE a fucking condom.
