Regarding your comment starting with “ When you say they are different...” are you referring to different testing protocols within the gay and straight side of the industry? With my limited understanding I think one of the reasons of not sharing test results is because they use condoms. I’m sure there’s other reasons…

Happy to! :)

Sometimes he has good days and sometimes he has bad days, just like any other job. Also sometimes there’s chemistry between performers sometimes there isn’t. Most of the time he’s having fun and feeling good about it, otherwise he wouldn’t be doing it.

Yes you are totally correct that many people who have HSV 1 or 2 are asymptomatic and so have no idea they have it. There is no urine test for herpes. There is no blood test that can tell conclusively if you have the viruses, it only tells you if you’ve ever been exposed to the virus. Most doctors won’t give you a…

We do have an open relationship, and no I don’t feel jealous of him sleeping with other women on set and in our personal life. We both feel that sex does not equal love, and as long as both of us feel good about our relationship with each other neither of us has issues with the other sleeping with other people. I love…

I don’t know anything about him, sorry!

Sorry wrong wording about the agents. If a female performer is booked with a crossover guy, agents have been known to say that the porn company will have to find a different male performer because they don’t want the female performer working with a crossover guy.

That sort of happens. There are female performers who will not work with “crossover” guys, which are male performers who perform in gay and straight scenes, or agents who won’t book female performers with crossover guys. The refusal comes from the perception of the gay side as having higher risk. However there is no…

I would say as a male who performs in straight porn scenes he is considered more low risk than a gay male performer or a female performer.

I would like to add that all of us who are sexually active may have slept with someone who had herpes and it’s very likely that they didn’t know they had herpes due to the fact that you cannot get a conclusive test unless you actually have a sore. Or they have herpes and didn’t disclose it because STIs are so…

No, they definitely do get tested for all the things I listed. I did not list herpes as something they test for and you are correct, herpes is not tested for. Herpes is a tricky thing... you can often get false positives when you don’t actually test for herpes. In the four years that my husband has been performing, he…

Oh yes absolutely, I agree that tests are not 100% positive. However, given that performers are tested every 14 days (it used to be every 28 days but changed to every 14 days after the Cameron Bay incident, I believe), if they do have something they will eventually test positive for it at some point and when that…

But the thing is, it’s not dangerous. People think it’s dangerous because a lot of people have this belief that porn sets are a cesspool of disease but that is far from the truth. The straight side of porn has testing protocols in place that are quite effective at protecting performers from STIs. The person that…

Well, we have a fairly normal life. We lay in bed and play games on our phones, we go grocery shopping, we hang out with friends... Do you have a more specific question? Happy to answer :)

So at the time all this happened, Rod Dailey, the person Cameron Bay was in a relationship with also tested positive for HIV. Rod Dailey performed in gay porn, and the testing protocols on the gay side is entirely different. I don’t want to speak on that because I don’t personally know anything about it. Both of them…

Totally! So there’s extras, who are not performers (I’ve been one of those extras), and then there are “extras” who are performers who have been tested and approved to engage sexually with the female performer assuming the role of some random person/extra. The extras are not allowed to engage sexually with the female…

A porn shoot at kink that has that many extras with a female performer is likely either a public disgrace or upper floor shoot. Only the performers who have been tested are allowed to engage sexually with the performers. I haven’t been to EVERY public disgrace and upper floor shoot but I’ve been to quite a few and…

There hasn’t been an on site transmission of HIV on a porn set on the straight porn side for over a decade. Yes, performers have contracted HIV but it has been in sexual interactions outside of shoots. My husband is a porn performer and he often works for Kink.com. How STI testing works in the industry is that…
