Just some thoughts...
Most of us here are consumers not producers of porn, with jobs, commitments and interests beyond this hobby.
So, when industry insiders fight each other, it is of limited interest to us.
Like two soccer managers in a war of words, it is peripheral to the game.
To pursue the analogy, some players fulfil early promise and have good careers, the very best combine talent with class and hard work to become legends, many fade early because they lack genuine talent or commitment, quite a few are cut down by injury or by strife with bosses and agents, a handful walk away becuse they realise they don't actually enjoy the game anymore, some retire early because they get scared of the risks or the lifestyle, some get physically unfit at a young age, others let success go to their heads and self-destruct, and sadly one or two are derailed by booze or drugs or false friends or just by their own greed and stupidity.
And the great majority just play at top or second level for six or seven maybe ten years, with some great games and some shit ones, hoping that when it is all over they will have some good memories and some cash in the bank, and a body that will still function into middle age after all the hard treatment.
The same is true of porn babes - the hard fact is that for us spectators, as long as the game goes on and some superstars emerge and a bunch of interesting new players arrives each year, we will not worry too much about the injured or the failures or the behind-the-scenes arguments.
I was sad to my heart last summer when Belle Claire retired and France beat Croatia, but did I give up on porn or soccer? C'mon...
I love and respect nearly all women, hate to see them violently treated (will not continue watching any clip where some scumbag faceslaps or spits) and am very sorry for the girls who have been infected, but when all is said and done they will get cured and move on and/or out, and there will still be porn for us ladies and gentlemen to enjoy.
As someone else here said, they are doing a job,that has risks like most jobs - and just as a builder might fall from a roof or an athlete might get her knee fucked up, so with them. Of course there should be the best safety precautions possible, but of course there will still be accidents.
Cars kill many many times more people than STDs and we think that is a normal price to pay for the pleasure and convenience of driving.
That is more than enough for now.
Questions for the future:
1. Is the industry really withering as Maître Pierre is always telling us? Not, I suggest, from the consumer's point of view.
2. Are porn babes who also 'escort' the cause of the so-called outbreak? Or is it that the male 'talents' are insatiably promiscuous active and passive bisexuals who will do anything anytime with any human or animal and believe themselves to be immortal? That is certainly the way some of them look... but perhaps in saying so I am victim of jealousy.
Stop the FUD, even without you, the industry is not lost. VR, webcams, online video stores, etc. it's just evolving.
