As a sidebar, I thought I might include a quote from Sharon Mitchell, who founded AIM.

If any of you are wondering why we are being so careful, this may explain it...

REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION OF DISEASES, AND HOW MOST OF YOU IN HERE FEEL ABOUT THE ISSUE...HERE IS HOW YOUR SUPPOSEDLY EXALTED, MOST TRUSTED 'AGENT' FEELS ABOUT TELLING NEW PERFORMERS THE FACTS...

"The reason why Jim South doesn't like [AIM's Porn 101 tape] is because he wants to rush someone into the business," Mitchell charges. "They may not even have had sex doggie style in their private life, but he doesn't want me to tell them about chlamydia, gonorrhea or hepatitis or the risks so he can hurry up and get two dicks in their ass to get his $75. And after the fact, what people don't see are the ripped assholes and the women that are surprised and hurt and crying and the medications and the people that can't afford medications from not getting that prevention education at Jim South's, and that makes him a bad guy. That's a bad guy, in my opinion, and I'm not afraid to say that. And that's what this about. This is about 'cock-blocking Mitch, because she's taking away my $75 because, God forbid, she's negative.' But I'm not being negative and mean; I'm just letting you know that if you get someone to cum in your ass and you squat over and you squirt that cum into someone else's mouth, you're risking not only getting HIV, but you may be giving them Hepatitis B at the same time! I mean, there's a whole host of things that can go on. Don't you think you should be entitled to know that before you do this? What is so wrong about me doing that?"

Things sure would be much, much safer, and people like US would be quicker to get into porn if these attitudes changed.

You people in the industry should be pushing for DAY OF testing.

When DAY OF testing is achieved, we'll be happy to jump in, and go nuts. Until then, we will be careful. Any sane human being with a fair IQ would feel the same...

...unless you happen to be an uncaring agent or an uncaring director or an uncaring studio head.

ALSO...

The dorks who are paying these girls they see in the movies to fuck them for a grand in some LA hotel room should also be aware of this.

To make matters worse, they still aren't testing for HERPES.

If any of you care, it was because of THIS ISSUE that we pleaded with the girl we knew NOT to go into porn. There are a lot of Marc Wallices out there. A lot. We pray that she's okay, but we fear she is not.

'Nuff said.

Oh. and by the way...GOD BLESS SHARON MITCHELL. She is our HERO.

You go girl, and know that God walks with you.

Michael
