    AIM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_Industry_Medical_Health_Care_Foundation) was there offering RNA tests for ‘performers’ every 30 days, so they were not just testing for antibodies. There have been outbreaks, but all have been responded to with a total shutdown of filming, which so far seems to have minimized transmission. AIM seems to have shutdown due to their database being published, which looks to be a loss to the adult industry.

    “Do you think I should sign The Wisdom of Whores up to prevent our good name from being abused?”

    Yes, absolutely.

    Oooh, transgressive!

    How often do you signs today that your site is mistaken for non-scientific sex?

    Interesting topic. Unfortunately I can’t agree with your conclusions; basically that it’s unfeesable for the authorities to mandate compulsory use of condoms in porn (though they can tell us not to drink before 21 or smoke on a beach), so improved self-regulation is a good enough alternative. Precisely because porn is not a private pursuit, but a thriving industry, it can and should be regulated. Whether or not it would make any difference to people’s behaviour is a different story. But health authorities have the duty to lay down limits to manifestly hazardous activities, if arguably not when engaged in by consenting adults, certainly so when they are a form of paid labour.

    As for the assertion that condoms are unsexy, I find the contrary to be true. As someone who was 4 at the time of the fist reported case of AIDS, I was made aware of the importance of condoms well before I knew quite where they were meant to go. It’s the sight (and implications) of unprotected casual sex that turns me off. If the market still deems safer sex between strangers to be unsexy, it’s high time our collective psyche engaged in a serious paradigm shift, and the porn industry could do a great deal to help.

    Absolutely I think you should register Wisdom of Whores.
