LA Porn Stars Have More STDs Than Nevada Prostitutes, Study Says
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/1...usaolp00000003

LA porn stars have significantly higher rates of sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs) than legal prostitutes in Nevada, according to a report published Tuesday.

A study of 168 adult industry actors in Los Angeles County found that 28 percent, or 47 actors, tested positive for either gonorrhea or chlamydia or both.

The report said that in the adult industry, "Undiagnosed asymptomatic ... STIs were common and are likely reservoirs for transmission to sexual partners inside and outside the workplace." The study was conducted in 2010 and written by six public health experts affiliated with the LA County Department of Public Health, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and UCLA.

About condom use in the industry, the report said, "Few participants reported using condoms consistently while performing or with their personal sex partners."

The STD rate among porn actors is significantly higher than among legal prostitutes in Nevada, said the report, because Nevada law requires that prostitutes wear condoms and be tested weekly for disease.

Since those rules for Nevada brothels went into effect in 1988, the report said, there have been no cases of HIV infection and a negligible rate of STDs, the Los Angeles Times reports.

In contrast, just since 2004, there have been eight HIV cases among adult film performers. In 2011, porn production halted for nearly a week after an actor tested positive for HIV. In August of this year, there was a 10-day moratorium on porn filming because of a syphilis outbreak among actors.

The report published Tuesday warned of the health consequences of contracting STDs. According to the report, "Repeated and chronic infection with [sexually transmitted infections] can lead to infertility, chronic pelvic pain and ectopic pregnancies, and can facilitate HIV infection," KTLA reports.

The report recommended that condom use be enforced among porn performers. On Tuesday, Angelenos will vote on ballot Measure B, which would require porn actors to wear condoms.

Many in the porn industry say that condoms are unnecessary because the industry already conducts regular STD checks and that prolonged condom use causes chafing, tearing and increased risk of diease. They also say that condoms would hurt their profit and drive the industry either out of LA or underground, creating even more unsafe conditions. Some producers have threatened to move production -- and thousands of jobs -- to Nevada if the measure passes.

This study is a bit flawed, since they are comparing licensed Nevada prostitutes to L.A. pornstars.

Legal Nevada prostitutes get tested at least once a month and only fuck with condoms.
L.A. pornstars get tested every 2 weeks but usually fuck without condoms.

Also, they fail to mention that about 60% to 70% of pornstars have herpes.

Do not fuck the hookers on the Las Vegas Strip, since they have alot more diseases than gonorrhea, chlamydia or herpes.

Isn't herpes extremely common anyway?

Who cares if pornstars contract asymptomatic STIs? Is it really necessary to enforce laws like this? Should we pass laws to restrict athletes in order to protect them from injuries?

If they're aware of the risks, let them do what they want imo.

I would be very interested to hear Druff's stance on legal prostitution, and if he would support it nationwide.

Obviously I do, it is just another worthless waste of money trying to enforce which does nothing. And you can see the differences in diseases and overall health of the working girls if it is regulated.

So what say you Druff?

[4Dragons]

Seriously flawed because pornstars don't typically use condoms and hookers pretty much always do.

[TheXFactor]

Nevada is the only state in the country with legalized prostitution in cities with populations of less than 100,000.

Honestly, the legal whores really don't look very "hot" and most likely it will be one of the worst fucks of your life.

As for the hookers in the casinos and on the streets of Las Vegas, they are looking to steal your cash and if you fuck them
don't be surprised that your dick looks like a piece of cauliflower.

Like 5 years ago I met a lady, she was pretty hot.

I usually always wear a rubber but for whatever reason this night I did not.

So like TWO DAYS LATER she tells me she has herpes. What the FUCK. You tell me after the fact.

Obviously I let her know what a terrible human she was and walked out on her face. Glad to say I am Herpes free, but for 90 days the first thing I did every morning examine my dick. Not fun.

You have it its just dormant

Also condoms aren't 100% effective anyway. Covered or not you still take a risk with herpes.
