Spoiler alert: sexually transmitted infections are rampant in the porn industry.
But wouldn’t the industry care enough about its performers to ensure life-altering and life-threatening infections were a rarity in this “professional” space?
Not according to Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, professor of public health sciences at USC:
“Animals in the movies get better care and protections than humans… in the adult film industry.”
Some might, and have, argued that infections are a justifiable consequence that performers bear: that’s what they signed up for.
This mentality turns a blind eye to the vulnerability in which many performers enter the industry, and the lies fed to them about how testing will keep them safe.
By the time performers realize they’ve been duped, it’s too late.
“Unsafe Sex,” episode two of our documentary miniseries Beyond Fantasy, will premiere live on YouTube at 6:30pm PST on Thursday, February 16.
