Uneducated fear about HIV is so strong that many studios won’t book male talent for “straight” scenes if they have done any gay or trans scenes, a de facto ban on so-called “crossover” performers regardless of testing status. It’s a myth that bisexual men “spread HIV.” Trans performers are especially stigmatized. What do you think allowed you to grow your audience so fast? I believe in the early 2000s and ’90s, when social media wasn’t as prevalent as it is today, agents were more of a necessity. As a producer, my partner and I book people for our productions sometimes. You can look at their Twitter, and usually in their bio they’ll say that they’re self-booking, or contact my agent.

Calvert’s first directing gig came in early 2019 for Adult Time. Her series for LustCinema, “Primary,” is her first feature-length story. She’s known for projects with real stories that deliver real human emotion and running a set where adult performers feel empowered and taken care of.

Most of her scenes have been bondage, sadomasochism and fetishism themed. We can all do more to educate people inside and outside the industry about PrEP, protection, and ending stigma. We need to stop associating HIV solely with highly stigmatized groups, which adds further stigma to everyone. The misleading association leads to fewer straight, cis people getting the testing they need.

Everyone on the cast and crew did such an incredible job, and I’m so grateful to be able to make films with my friends.” Casey Calvert, Lust Cinema’s exclusive Director. After months of this journey, I’m now at peace with my diagnosis. I feel extremely grateful that I can be confident that my immediate community and fans will continue to be there. There is a new international effort, Porn Professionals for Safety Against Discrimination, that asks industry members and companies to pledge to fight stigma and support U+ workers. The Domino Foundation is working to raise funds in the U.K.

You can see their tweets, see if they’ve been having any meltdowns or rants. People will say anything online, and it kind of gives you a feel of what the person’s personality is like. If I see a director I might want to shoot for, I can just message them. Maya Woulfe is a mid 20’s multi-media artist living in Los Angeles.

HIV+ sex workers experience this discrimination within their own industry as well. My Twitter had maybe 1,000 followers, and most of them were people I knew from high school. I figured if they didn’t already know I do porn, they’re going to find out anyway, and they’ll either want to still be my friend- [or not]. I think what people like about me is I post about my cats or, “I’m going to do this today,” or I post about spiders.

It’s like, how can you consume something and then turn around and shame the person who made it? I think a lot of it is projection, like the trope of the anti-gay senator or congressman who’s soliciting boys for blow jobs in men’s bathrooms. They want to jerk with one hand and point the finger with the other. I think it gives them a sense of moral superiority. ” You see that with the music industry and movies; people are like, oh, I’ll just torrent it.” People don’t see the direct correlation between money and performers getting paid.

The most widely known and basic policy is to test for STIs before shoots. All of that had to be stopped, and I wasn’t sure if those opportunities would come back. It felt terrible seeing everything I had been building toward slide out of my reach. It left me wondering where my place was in the adult industry, or if I even had a place at all.

Very importantly, we must reduce barriers to safety. Work needs to be done to allow free clinics into adult testing databases, since current testing costs too much and most indie content is created outside the for-profit Talent Testing system. Heterosexual people generally get HIV from heterosexual partners, not bisexual ones. Lack of safety, accessible education and health care hits Black Americans the hardest, with us making up 42% of all new U.S. HIV diagnoses in 2018, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. More than one-fifth of Black transgender people are living with HIV (20.23%) compared to 2.64% of all trans people, 2.4% of all Black people and 0.6% of the general U.S. population.

When I was doing a lot of taxidermy I’d post about that, or when I was studying accounting I’d post about that, so people got to see me being a normal, multifaceted person. The studio offers cinematic, plot-driven original series and feature films with relatable storylines and realistic situations of sex that are part of a wider narrative. She began to be interested in pornography after discovering actress Sasha Gray. At age 18, she started as a camgirl, a business she was in until August 2015, when she debuted as a pornographic actress at age 21.

She was born on December 6, 1994, under the sign of Sagittarius, with the nationality of American and of white ethnicity. Her birth name is Charlotte Yvonne Worrell, while Charlotte Sartre is her stage name. Black transgender people are highly stigmatized and pushed out of most jobs. Research released by the National LGBTQ Task Force found that 26% of us reported being unemployed, 34% lived in “extreme poverty,” and 41% had experienced homelessness.

Alongside Erika, US-based female filmmakers show and capture the whole feeling of sex; passion and pleasure. Victoria Voxxx is an adult film star, singer, dancer and model who first started working in the adult film industry in early 2018 after attending her first ever AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in January 2018. Hailing from Colorado but currently based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Voxxx is a professional singer in her own band, a former hip hop dancer and a classically trained Shakespearean actress.

For busy mainstream performers, this can mean getting tested at official Talent Testing clinics every 14 days. For “trade” shoots, ever more common in an increasingly independent industry, two performers share production costs and distribution rights. For these productions, most performers simply get tested wherever we can afford and show each other the results on our phones. I’m all self-booking, so I make the arrangements myself, which is a lot easier in my opinion.
