This is one of my first memories, and when I hear the word terrorism, I still think of this image. I remember watching the coverage that summer as the plane flew between Algiers and Beirut. The pilot later said that the guy in the photo wasn't actually threatening him; he just wanted to be on TV.

Happy birthday, bballer!

I’ve did not make that assumption; in fact, I said that you may be right that straight porn actors know less about prep, although we can’t say for sure on the basis of a single online forum. I did say that, while Truvada may be a useful tool, it is reasonable to forego taking it and manage risk (perhaps less effectively) in other ways. As for the performer who said that people transmit AIDS instead of HIV, it’s possible that he misspoke. In general, though, I agree that many Millennials, in the porn industry or not, could benefit from education about HIV. Edit: typo

Your post suggested that the education you propose for straight porn actors relates, at least in part, to Truvada. But yes, I agree that it's best to end this conversation.

My post consisted of the text of an FB post that you had linked to here and a comment that the specific side effect discussed in that post is especially problematic for women. Which part is incorrect? We agree that it was a bad move to publicly state her reason for rejecting certain scene partners. But I disagree that stating that makes her a bigot. You may be right, but it's an open question whether the people posting publicly on the Xbiz forums are representative of the industry as a whole. That's true, but hormonal BCP also decreases the risk of ovarian cancer.Some women decide that the benefits are worth the risks, while others choose a different form of contraception, like the sponge or a diaphragm. As for the argument that everything has side effects: It's reasonable for people to evaluate each medication based by comparing benefits to risks. Moreover, as with all relatively new drugs, Truvada's risk profile will become clearer over the next decade.

Kurtis, the text below is from the link you posted. Upset stomach is a problem for many people, whether it disappears or not. And the rarer side effect, decrease in bone density, is especially problematic for women. I can understand some women not wanting to take the risk of being in that group. You may disagree with this woman's choice not to do scenes with MM performers, but I don't think it's fair to attribute a refusal to take Truvada to lack of education. Most side effects, like headache or nausea, usually go away when you get used to the medication. However, there are two potential long-term effects that may be of concern: kidney function and bone density. Elevated creatinine function happens in about 2% of people who use PrEP. The guidelines for taking PrEP properly include checking your kidney function every 3-6 months at those quarterly visits with your medical provider. Bone density loss is another concern, but it is also rare and not considered serious. Again, this is something to discuss with your doctor. http://www.rxlist.com/truvada-side-effects-drug-center.htm

Not everyone wants to deal with Truvada’s side effects. Some prefer to manage their risk in other ways, as imperfect as they may be.

Are you talking about women who do both MF and FF scenes? Why would the latter put them at higher risk?

I have a king bed that takes up most of my small bedroom. Yet I always sleep on the same side with a pillow under my feet.

The causation goes in the other direction too. Those who climb to the top acquire a sense that they can do anything with impunity. Yeah, you have to be pretty twisted to want to expose it to random women. But again, there's that sense that they can do anything.

The guy to the right of the black car is perving on the horse.

That poor Yorkie. I hope he's ok.

IMO, he has both serious mental issues and a sense of entitlement. If you watch any of his videos and the map of desired destinations, you will see that his obsession with killer tornados is absolutely genuine.

From his videos, he's not a conspiracy theorist. He just has a few obsessions, as most autistic people do. The story about the guy who was supposed to take him to Arkansas made me sad. He's been through a lot.

It's also possible that the 18-30 group feel that it's not socially acceptable to themselves as "completely feminine."

How did you come to wear your bandana that way?

If women wanted sexual contact with strangers, straight men wouldn't have to look so hard for extras.

I like this image.

It's the mercury. Look at what it did to these birds.

Happy T-day to Gman and everyone else on the board!

Agree with both of these. True but very few men will beat up a female boss, even in self-defense. They might kick a male boss' ass if he's really gone over the line.

Bingo

They meet a guy and like him. However, the guy keeps bringing up gay this and that and eventually admits that he and other guys have topped each other. That's what I've heard anyway.

They also murdered them in a particularly brutal fashion; one of them they actually chased Abigail Folger her out onto the grass and and stabbed her. At the time, she was some random heiress. Today, she would be a big Instagram personality.

I agree about the frozen eggs vs. embryo, although my doctor thinks the difference is less than people believe. Nevertheless, I gave this a lot of soul searching and thought. I'm not going to change my mind about having kids alone, so that part is settled. Doing both as a hedge, as you suggested, is unlikely to work in this case. You are pretty knowledgeable about this stuff, sniper.
