Some do it on the side for enjoyment or other reasons but the stickler for covered isnt surprising cos for official shoots they are required to take tests for STDs etc so seeing a "john" client doesnt impede them from still doing porn Originally Posted by HorazonDThat may be true if the provider is still active in doing films, however, my question was geared more towards those actresses who have retired from acting and are strictly providing, where the precaution for having covered FS is understandable, but having covered BJ or DATY is a show-stopper for a lot of clients, and the chances of getting an STD from oral is miniscule - in doing this 35+ years as a hobbyist, I have never received an STD and I have testing done quarterly.
I have been curious about this since I saw my first porn actress in the hobby. Why does one leave the acting profession to do hobbying full time? Also, it seems as though porn actresses are a stickler for covered activities for everything when most hobbyists hate it. TIA. Originally Posted by IQ160Yes, hobbyists hate it, clients do not.

Preventing people from using fake or photoshopped test results.

You don't like things covered? Find a girl friend. But don't act like women need to put their health and lives at risk just to make you happy. Providers are people, not a piece of meat you purchase to do whatever the hell you want with it.
Do I like uncovered, of course I do, but it's never a deal breaker for me. Hell, I'm selective about who I do uncovered with. I've even asked for covers with providers who don't require them. Why? Because I care about my health too. Originally Posted by jmaster299

Those responses have been very informational as well. More actresses that want to contribute are welcome. Hobbyists are not really the contributors I wanted to participate as their observations are more looking from the outside in, whereas actresses have first hand knowledge which is what I am looking for. In any case, thank you for your participation. Originally Posted by IQ160I'm a client and am working my way up in the industry. Having done armature work and have a shoot scheduled with a professional industry model/producer during AVN. So I know a whole hell of a lot about this. Its why I side with industry actresses on this issue. When I do my filming in January my testing has to be less than 14 days old and has to be done at a specific industry approved facility.
The original poster is welcome to make a post asking for opinions only from ladies or from a group like persons in the industry. If being involved in a porn shoot and being tested is what is required then I am also an industry veteran. jmaster299, if you wish to start a thread about your experiences as a Male performer you are welcome to do so. This is the second time you have been warned about attempting to stifle opinions of others. We welcome discussions on many subjects. Keep them civil.

That section was directed at the OP, since you chose to quote him. You have made it very clear you dont agree with him. You were not keeping anything going other than repeating your disagreement on the matter and saying he has a negative mark for being a hobbyist.
Saying you don't want to hear client opinions on this matter is part of the issue here. Mainly because you don't want to hear from clients who don't share your opinion. If the clients of Vegas aren't willing to demand the same standards you are, its less likely the providers of Vegas are willing to meet those standards.
A little tip for you, calling yourself a hobbyist isn't helping you either. The term has a negative stigma with some providers. Not all, many couldn't care less. But there is a growing opinion that clients and hobbyists are two different types of people, and some providers don't want to associate with the later.
I am not saying this applies to everyone, but the stigma is hobbyists are the ones who haggle over pricing and/or complain about services offered/not offered...
If a provider doesn't offer what you want, move on. Originally Posted by jmaster299

I simply stated that I was looking for the opinions and experiences of former porn actresses. Unfortunately, reading comprehension is not what it used to be. Originally Posted by IQ160Not arguing with you, not calling you out, but please check you the title of your thread. It says "former porn actors" not actresses. As a reader it gives the impression that opinions from both male and female perfomers are requested.
