Adult Film/Herpes in porn

Expert: Charles Taylor - 10/3/2008


Question
Ive read on about 3 very big famous pornstar's interviews and blogs online how like 99 percent of people in porn have herpes and it's just a common acceptance to contract it when entering the biz.Is that true ?

Answer
While due to industry wide testing requirements and standards (All performers/talent that work with other talent in hetero or homo sexual acts...Boy/Girl or Girl/Girl, etc scenes) it is prevalent (Talent is tested by only two industry approved testing facilities [TTS & AIM] every 30 days to be cleared for shoots). So they are pretty much accurate with that statement about Herpes as related to the general porn pool. Chlamydia is often is referred to as "porn flu" by people in the movie trade as well. But this is why adult performers/talent make the “big bucks”……its kinda like hazardous duty pay in the civilian world or combat pay if you were in the military.

Questions that I can answer are related to performing (straight scenes) and female talent casting/recruitment/management.
If your a female located within the USA with two forms of ID and your interested in becoming an adult film actress let me know. you can email directly at- charles.t@charlestaylorxxx.com

Questions that I specifically can NOT answer are questions either pertaining to and/or are related to the gay or transgendered sides of the adult industry, any questions related to the adult biz outside of the USA and Porn Star “where are they now” questions. I am also sorry but I can NOT help any men (straight, bisexual or gay) trying to get into the industry either. The best bet for you guys would be to check out- breakingintoporn.com.

Finally you must be 18 or older if you intend to receive an answer to your question...no one in adult will help you until you are of LEGAL AGE! Anyone sending in a question who states that they are under age WILL NOT GET AN ANSWER! I am not trying to be mean...its just the LAW.
