Loc: Putting the POW in powerbottom...
Thank you for answering my question.
I'll pose 3 FINAL followup's.
Quote: I think the industry in general needs to be aware that nobody knows what their scene partner did off-camera last week.
Don't you think the removal of people from a high risk group like IV drug users and "Straight for pay" Actors should be STRINGENTLY followed?
Quote: At Evil Angel, I'm very comfortable with the decision that was made last year to stop distributing movies with anal creampies. It's the only way that I know of that someone in the adult business has caught HIV in a scene.... I wish I had a solution to make things safer and yet still entertaining to watch.... ....I don't think that Evil Angel directors put performers any more at risk for STDs than other gonzo companies do. Performers are tested just as strictly. In Prague last month, our directors were the first to stop shooting scenes after a chlamydia outbreak.
I must say that changing your procedures even a little is admirable. Bang Bros has been condom only(with few exceptions) and entirely successful. Have you or any other company done valid research that would show condom only performances would affect your bottom line?
Quote: ....I'm not a fan of Sharon Mitchell, but I do believe that current testing procedure is much better than it was 10 years ago, or even 5 years ago.... I'd be supportive of going to 2-week testing with the production companies covering a portion of the cost per performer....
Don't you think that a Competent Director of AIM would be pushing the Industry to TESTING for EVERYTHING, CONDOM ONLY PERFORMANCES, and MORE FREQUENT TESTING?
