(33,224 posts)That is never the case in these porn discussions, even when there's no actual injury or abuse and the performers are simply acting out abusive roles.
Guys in sports are killed and crippled daily, so rules are made to improve safety with better equipment and better rules. What sports organizations do not do is attempt to shame and criminalize the fans.
It is my understanding that adult performers are required to get a blood test for HIV prior to filming. This seems like a good start which could be expanded to all STD's, and the production companies should have a liability if any of the performers catch one. I also think that the bait-and-switch that apparently goes on in the business should stop. A performer should know exactly what to expect. If the producer substantively changes the script at the last minute, a performer should be able to walk away and still get paid.
