get out the porn industry. people know the risk.

It's unfortunate how some think a condom is the answer. Porn destroys bodies, hearts, minds and most importantly, souls. No condom can save you from that.

Well she could have caught herpes by deep kissing and sucking a cock or eating out some pussy as well! So what the fuck is a condom really going to do! Sex is a risk, rather it's for porn or one night stands! I still believe the porn industry is allot safer, than finding some ho, to fuck at a night club!

Only fat girls can catch STD's in the porn industry.

@Colthrone and if you want to do porn you should at least be prepared for possible risks. that´s like joining the army, going over to affghanistan and then start bitching about all the killing that´s going on.

i don´t feel any pitty for this woman, not that she deserved it (hell, no one deserves hiv), but she should have informed herself about the possible risks.

@Colthrone man you describe porn like it´s some kind of heinous threat in this world. porn is completely normal. dudes that can´t get any pussy (+ in america prostitution is illegal) at least have porn to see some.

And the major porn companies do test heavily for STD´s before even making a scene.

There is no cleaner way to have sex without a condom than in the professional scene and I´ll bet my ass that this woman wasn´t a real pro like for example Tori Black, Sasha Grey or Ron Jeremy.

FAIR to say some people need help. We all want this we all need this especially the ones addicted to it, PORN serves its purpose for those of us who can't keep a relationship and make love to the woman who will provide just enough so the Animal can be satisfied. I like porn without condoms but if wearing them protects them from getting diseases so be it.

[Gowieezy]

How are you going to compare STUNTMEN to people who have sex??? Stuntmen (majority of the time) do life threatening stunts which is why they're provided with safety. How hard is it for an adult film actor/actress to stand up and say "I want to use a condom"? What you catch in that industry is on you. You took the risk of having unprotected sex and you ended up getting"scared" for it.

@DHigable What a disgusting response. The issue here is the industry and how it deals with porn performer HEALTH & SAFETY rights. Try watching it again & listening to the words rather than hearing what you want to hear so that you can keep your precious porn condom free.

The thing is nothing is fair.And its like any other thing you do it you take risks. Protect yourself
