DEAR DUMB ASS

Don't you hate stupid people? Seems like both Roxy Red and I are getting the same dumbass on our formspring!

This anonymous person- who clearly cannot read well asked me this:

"do u think its up to the studios to test models or should the models get themselves tested for std`s"

This was my response:

That depends- I think if someone is using their body in their work off screen they should be health conscious. Don't be bare backing in the private life and then try and blame a studio because you come up with something.

So new models should make sure they are clean before they sign a contract and agree to do a film or scene. So yes initially I think it is up to the model. It should be required before they are hired. Also I see no reason why a new model cannot get an HIV test as well prior to shooting.

Many cities offer free testing. If you get hired in medicine at a hospital you have to get Hepatitis shots, a CPR card and other things. The employer and hospital doesn't pay for it the applicant does so why should it be different with porn studios?

If a studio has an applicant that just could not get an HIV or STD screening then they should help them but these are all adults- even if they are 18. The studio is an employer not a babysitter.

Out of that the dumb as said to Roxy that I don't care if models have STD's or about the health.

So just to clarify I do care- but I think that since everyone is supposed to be grown up in porn I see no reason models THAT ARE NEW should not be to get their own HIV and STD screening. The studio is not responsible for what they did before they became an employee.

Now that doesn't mean I don't care, dumb ass.

What it means is that models should take some responsibility as well. If a model is under exclusive contract then perhaps the studio should test them routinely. But most people get HIV tested every 6 months. Most models stick around for a weekend and usually are back within that same 6 month period.

Now had this person asked a logical question instead of a vague one that was purposely designed to get me to answer so this dumb ass could twist my words than I may have had a different answer.

If he or she had asked if I thought that models should be able to see the health records, HIV tests and other pertinent information about the person they were going to have sex with in the scene I would have said absolutely. I think that all studios should make that available to models.

So here we have another dumb ass that clearly cannot read English- I made my position clear in the answer and never said that I do not care about the models being tested for STD's.

I think it is a 2 way street- while studios have the responsibility to make sure testing is done- either by having applicants bring recent tests to the first shoot or helping them get to a free clinic locally I also believe the models should act responsibly in their private lives in bed.

And I don't think is that is wrong to say. If one uses his body for work and exposes it to others than he should take care to play safe, avoid heavy drug use- be it Mary Jane, alcohol or heavier drugs so there is no worry of STD's.

But again- this question was asked just to give the dumb ass an opportunity to twisty my words.

Let's get this straight- my blog is about porn reviews...it is not about gossip or what I think certain studios should or shouldn't do.

If I owned my own studio I would take my guys to the clinic and test them myself just to avoid liability. I cannot say what I think others should do because I have a peripheral frame of reference.

But I will say that this person probably has heard hearsay- second hand info from disgruntled performers...usually the truth is blurred by anger by these people and there is always two sides to all stories and that is why I don't get into talking about shit like this.

So the next time you want to ask me a question like this- to entrap me or twist my words- DON'T.



AND FOR THE RECORD I SAW KEITH MILLER YESTERDAY AND HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM WITH ROXY RED SO LET'S PUT THE RUMOR ABOUT BEING FIRED TO REST.
