“Smut Stop” or “Nix the XXX”

All the largest adult film companies in California have halted production pending the outcome of testing of all sex partners of an adult film actor who tested positive for HIV this week. While they are waiting, the porn actors are passing the time sharing heroin needles.

Apart from the results of HIV tests, the porn industry is looking for more information on this potential crisis and are expected to do some extensive probing.

Despite the seeming solidarity in the stoppage of work across the porn industry, there has been no stop in the viewing of it.

Porn companies have been criticized for health risks over the lack of condom use. Some companies do have their actors use condoms, but that doesn’t mean they get off any easier.
