Selena Silver

Maybe she could shed some light into this burning question of mine.

As far as I know, the condom-only thing applies to guys not on her list -- like Bono said. I think if all porn girls were as attentive to the details of personal security, as she is, you'd be hearing a lot fewer horror stories (as I heard the whole week I was in LA -- it's enough to wilt the sturdiest woodsman, I'll tell ya). Alas, Selena is way, way smarter than the average bare-it-all babe.

But I bet NOW if people know you are working in Brazil for TT Boy, that might ring a bell.

It's risky, no doubt. As in any profession, you do the best you can. I know people who went to report in Iraq. I'd say that's about 100 times more dangerous than what happens most days on most porn sets.

Whatever reason it is, I'm curious to hear what Selena's phylosophy on condoms is.

So a newcomer, whom you don't know and with a valid test, had the chance to get infected during 6 month, may be considered a higher risk than someone who is tested regularly. Because there is a "pressure" on a more "healthy" lifestyle and then add people you know and trust (in their (risk-aware) sex-behaviour).

I do not want to do the statistics, but if one is tested every few weeks over a longer period, the negative results of the PCR-tests should also be more "significant", than one or two PCR-tests from a "first-timer".
(I was told by a laboratory physician it is by no means "lege artis" to tell a patient he can be considered HIV-free, based on the result of one PCR-test shortly after a risky sexual encounter; the antibody test only gives you safety in a range from 3-6 month before, see above).

But naturally also someone whom you trust and is tested on a regular basis, can go to the proverbial heroin-addicted prostitute the night before shooting.

This philosophy or policy of going condom-free only with people who have been under "observation", i.e. regular testing for a certain amount of time, (and you trust) seems to be a sound way of risk-awareness and -assessment, also for other STD.

One would only gain a near total safety if the newcomers are in quarantaine for 6 month, then you send them in a porn-monastery, where the performers are cut off from society.
One should mention this to NASA. This is the way to get astronauts for "Mission to Mars" and selling videos from the voyage should bring a few bucks into their budget.

I hope Selena can soon shed a clear light herselve here!
