Aids Walk Los Angeles 2k10

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Hey sexy people!

-

Hope everyone is having a great day… I know I am :) I wanted to let you all know about something that is very important to me. Fund-raising. When I let you guys in on my life and the things that are important to me, its because I hope that you guys will support me in any way… even by just listening or reading :)

-

As you know I am an adult performer in an industry that is fairly safe but not 100%. I try to be as safe as I can by using condoms off camera and getting tested every 3-4 weeks.

-

I have joined the Evil Angel team for the 2010 Aids Walk in Los Angeles. I know this is a very taboo subject still, but I think it is important to support this cause. All of the money that I fundraise is dedicated to: improving the lives of people affected by HIV  disease; reducing the incidence of HIV infection; and advocating for fair and effective HIV- related public policy.

My opinion in a brief statement…

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

*****

Last Wednesday I went to a fundraiser for AIM healthcare. They claimed that the legal battle against Cal OSHA had drained them financially and they need our help. So raising our tests by $10 isn’t enough.  Anyways I attended since it was to support our industry being safe.. in a way.  However, this sparked a big controversial issue for me.

*****

I asked my fans, you guys, on twitter how you felt about condoms being used in porn videos. Out of 50 people these were the results; 26 said they would still watch, 18 said it kills the fantasy and the condom would cause them to change the video, and 6 said they were unsure or didn’t care either way.

*****

Another Porn Star Tweeted that it was actually a law that we wear them, but no one is doing it. I have not been able to actually find the law that states that but I am not objected to it.

*****

A lot of you wanted to know my answer. I am sorry I could not tell you on twitter with a simple yes or no. It is not a simple subject.

*****

What I find much harder to understand is why porn actors – whose hygiene is pretty essential to get paid – would prefer not to wear them. Is it because the condom market is much more lucrative? Would insisting on safe sex ruin your reputation as an entertainer? Or is their objection similar to the punters – that “safety first” is just a turn-off?

*****

I am all about safe sex. In my personal life I use them(condoms). I would like to be a positive role model and promote safe sex in my porn life too. Sadly that is impossible in this era. I feel like a hypocrite because I tell people to be safe, but I am on film doing risky sexual acts. A huge part of the reason why directors don’t shoot condoms scenes is because they think it will not sell. Obviously, my fans proved otherwise. Yes porn is a fantasy, but how naive are you trying to pretend to be.  Another reason why the industry doesn’t want to use condoms could possibly be due to the fact that condoms will add to the production cost. Point blank period, that’s sad.  I feel like writing this blog may affect my work. I may even lose a few fans but guess what…. I don’t give a fuck. This is my blog so I can speak my mind without censorship.  I do wish I could use condoms in scenes, but I know that I cant. If I asked to use a condom when I got to set they would all laugh in my face. If I told my agent to only hire me for protected scenes, I would never work.

*****

I believe the industry should use condoms. Companies like kink.com and Wiked are doing just fine.

So there ya go. That is my answer. I hope you enjoyed reading this. Please feel free to leave your comments. Thanks
