No problem. Permission granted.
As to t...Anthony,<br /><br />No problem. Permission granted.<br /><br />As to the second point, Lubben's soul-saving operations, the results there are pretty underwhelming as well. In an interview conducted last year, she was asked flat out how many porn performers had actually joined up with her outfit. As of then, after some stalling, she admitted that she'd been able to hang onto about six.<br /><br />Considering the amount of money she's collected since PCF's creatiion, that's a pretty unimpressive level of bang for the buck. Wonder where all those relentlessly solicited contributions actually end up.Ernest Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371385468484866133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385392963347857134.post-41352827125411121762009-08-25T17:59:52.674-05:002009-08-25T17:59:52.674-05:00Ren and Ernest:
Regarding the Q about lives saved...Ren and Ernest:<br /><br />Regarding the Q about lives saved by Weinstein and Lubben??<br /><br />Well...it all depends on what you mean by "saved"...especially in Lubben's case.<br /><br />If you mean "saved" in the religious sense of "saved in the blood of Jeebus" and cured of your evil slutdom...well, I guess that you would be considered to be "saved" in that sense.<br /><br />Saved from actual harm and being manipulated to serve reactionary agendas?? Well....not so much.<br /><br /><br />AnthonyAnthony Kennersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103420620416144653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385392963347857134.post-4532677165615002422009-08-25T17:52:42.564-05:002009-08-25T17:52:42.564-05:00Oh, gee, Ernest...all I asked for was a simple com...Oh, gee, Ernest...all I asked for was a simple comment. ;-)<br /><br />May I have your permission to repost this over at the SmackChron and Lady C Boudoir blogs?<br /><br /><br />AnthonyAnthony Kennersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103420620416144653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385392963347857134.post-45191057564400415052009-08-24T17:57:47.397-05:002009-08-24T17:57:47.397-05:00Ernest:

This is a very informative post, and one that I've linked over at LukeIsBack, where there is an ongoing debate (isn't there always?!) about this current issue. <br /><br />This is potentially the most damaging development to confront the adult industry yet. I sincerely hope that a strong counter-suit or similar strategy is brought from our side, and soon.<br /><br />Stay strong*Third Axishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411090634396102738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385392963347857134.post-87676897137806085912009-08-24T14:31:52.492-05:002009-08-24T14:31:52.492-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Third Axishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411090634396102738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385392963347857134.post-37976989167499456482009-08-24T14:02:13.129-05:002009-08-24T14:02:13.129-05:00Right you are. There is no such law, and the repea...Right you are. There is no such law, and the repeated claim that their is strikes me as disingenuous. It suggests that porn industry health is already accepted as an area for legal regulation and obscures the truth, which is that we have a highly effective, voluntary, community-based harm-reduction system that works just fine without legal intervention.<br /><br />Just another lie spread by those who don't believe, or don't want to believe, that sex workers can take care of themselves and their own without the threat of legal sanctions hanging over their heads.<br /><br />Thirty-day testing is a basic standard established by AIM and accepted by most performers and producers. A few performers, such as Belladonna, insist on more recent test data for their partners, as do some companies.<br /><br />Personally, I would like to see the standard testing interval reduced to two weeks, but I understand that this is a financial hardship for those who work relatively infrequently, and would probably be unnecessary in their cases. <br /><br />This is one reason why I would also like to see some kind of fund supported by producers to pay for at least one test panel per month if we did go to a more frequent testing protocol. I think this would have beneficial effects both practically and symbolically. Producers benefit by AIM's work as well as performers. I see no reason why they shouldn't pick up part of the tab. <br /><br />Their contributions could be indexed to how many performers they shoot so small companies wouldn't have to shoulder a disproportionate share of the cost.<br /><br />Since the PCR-DNA window period is about ten days at the maximum, a second monthly test would go a long way toward eliminating it as a risk factor.Ernest Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371385468484866133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385392963347857134.post-54330313863071318032009-08-24T09:10:12.123-05:002009-08-24T09:10:12.123-05:00The AHF and PC are certainly making the rounds.

This item is found in almost all of the articles I have read. <br /><br />"By law, U.S. adult film actors must prove they have tested negative for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases within 30 days of going to work on a film"<br /><br />I thought that the 30 day window was an industry standard not law.<br /><br />Any help clarifying this would be appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks in advance<br /><br />OutisOutishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15709554632504014990noreply@blogger.com
