Porn Actors Strongly Favor Condom Use On Set
The porn industry has recently been rocked in recent weeks by the reported positive HIV status of a few actors and actresses. Some popular adult entertainers are coming out strongly in favor of condom use in front of the camera — in defiance of producers who demand so-called “bareback action.” The candid comments of actresses Sovereign Syre and Cindy Starfall in an interview with Huffington Post also reveal the effect of the economy on this issue:
Porn performers are coming out of the woodwork to express their preference for condom use on set, defying producers’ claims that actors prefer to go without.
On HuffPost Live Tuesday, porn performers Cindy Starfall and Sovereign Syre said they would like to have the option of using condoms on set. Starfall went on to point out that porn company Wicked Pictures has been successful with the use of condoms — refuting the claim by some in the industry that condoms hurt sales.
But when Starfall was asked if directors and producers accept condoms being used on set, she answered, “Of course not, because they’re always shooting bareback.”
Both Syre and Starfall said that increased competition coupled with less jobs in the industry has led to poverty, depression, drug use and other reckless behavior, on and off set. “When you’re in financial crisis, you tend to do more things just like escorting bareback, and you would do anything basically for the quick money,” Starfall said.
