| TwoDirection Member 105 Posts 10/15 |  Posted - Aug 21 2016 : 1:04PMI was reading a post 6 years ago in this section that said this about women working with crossover stars "A lot of female performers care because of a perceived increased risk of HIV from working with male performers who also do gay scenes. When they communicate their concerns to directors, the directors end up not wanting to schedule the male performer who does cross over work. And who can blame them? Male performers are a dime a dozen. Whether it's fair or not, the porn industry is extremely discriminatory in this regard. Female performers are encouraged to explore bisexuality. Male performers are not." Ryan Driller did some gay scenes. Richie Black did scenes with transgender porn stars Domino Presley and Aubrey Kate this year. They both are working regularly in the straight industry. There are some other men that have crossed over. Is it no longer the case that men who do gay/transgender scenes are blacklisted from the straight industry? Or does no one in the straight industry know about their previous porn history? [Link] |

| bumblaster Senior Member 4884 Posts 4/12 | Posted - Aug 22 2016 : 11:40AM That's why there are some girls who are in the business for years and have never worked with certain male (or female) talent. [Link] |

| whatsatelephonebill Senior Member 2935 Posts 10/11 | Posted - Aug 27 2016 : 9:02PM Because unless you get lucky, even with constant testing, there's still a time period between when you can first spread the disease and when you first test positive for it. If you want to get super-technical, I believe that a clean HIV test means that you didn't contract HIV more than 14 days ago, not that you don't have it right now (I may be wrong on that time period, it might be a little shorter than that). And rightly or wrongly, it's still assumed that someone that has b/b sex is more likely to have HIV than someone who has b/g sex. Not to mention that things are a little different in the gay porn world, and there are HIV positive gay male performers (generally speaking they only work with each other, though). [Link] |

| whatsatelephonebill Senior Member 2935 Posts 10/11 | Posted - Aug 27 2016 : 11:18PM That's because the g/g part of the industry has much more in common with the b/g part of the industry than it does the b/b part, and I'm not just talking about talent. Most g/g content is produced by companies and producers that shoot b/g (and don't shoot b/b content). [Link] |

| Canadian_Cindy Deactivated User 1102 Posts 2/15 | Posted - Aug 28 2016 : 4:45AM I don't know , work is hard to get these days.. .I would think most girls don't have much of a no list anymore. THere certainly is not this "ew" factor anymore with most performers being bi in their private life or doing some stuff on camera. Edited by - Canadian_Cindy on 8/28/2016 5:00:26 AM [Link] |

| fanofman Senior Member 2053 Posts 9/15 | Posted - Aug 28 2016 : 12:53PM From the CDC, "Women who have sex with women (WSW) are a diverse group with variations in sexual identity, sexual behaviors, sexual practices, and risk behaviors. Recent studies indicate that some WSW, particularly adolescents, young women, and women with both male and female partners, might be at increased risk for STDs and HIV as a result of certain reported risk behaviors (109-112). WSW are at risk for acquiring bacterial, viral, and protozoal infections from current and prior partners, both male and female. WSW should not be presumed to be at low or no risk for STDs based on sexual orientation. Effective screening requires that providers and their female clients engage in a comprehensive and open discussion not only about sexual identify, but sexual and behavioral risks."

| Carolina to Socal New Member 3 Posts 8/21 | Posted - Aug 19 2021 : 7:52PM I was in from 2009-2014 and from what I hear from friends and former coworkers still working things haven't changed much. There was always a not so subtle implication that working with crossover males would hurt your career in several ways. 1. Whether supported by science or not most people in the industry believe b-b sex is much more dangerous than b-g or g-g and therefore working with crossover males put you in danger. Prior to the HIV scare in 2010 testing was only required every 30 days, leaving a bigger window for someone to do a b-b scene and a b-g scene in the same testing period. 2. Some agents said that working with crossovers would hurt our value in the industry and more importantly our pay, similar to the stigma that ir had back then. Not saying I agree with this at all but it's what the reality of porn was. However there were certain performers and companies I know for a fact would lie about a crossover guys. [Link] |
