HIV and Pornography

The pornography industry must take more careful precautions due to the easy access to HIV contractions and should promote safer sex. The porn star, Laura Roxx contracted HIV on set when she had a double-anal encounter only after three months into her pornography career. Not only did Laura Roxx was of an illegal age to consume alchohol but she shouldn't have even had sex. However, the state of California did not find this as serious issue nor held her boss accountable because this was simply part of the job. Although according to some porn starts, STD's are not a serious problem in the industy, it can certainly accumulate to that being that only 17% of the porn actors are condom users. Although nowdays, most porn stars do have HIV testing, HIV tests  do not show the results until 60 days after. When people have sex several times a day with multiple partners, it is hard to detect how and from whom the person contracted HIV. The porn companies hire 18 year-olds whom they lable "independent contractors" so they don't even have the workplace safety protections that Burkey King workers do. A lot of these porn company giants do not have proper safety precautions necessary for the workplace and the government should  put more stricter regulations upon these businesses in order to protect the workers.

Making Money off Porn

Here is a website I've found whose porn producers are looking for affiliates: http://affiliates.eroticy.com/pressRelease.asp?release=22

Starting your own porn business may not be as easy as it looks. With the high number of porn sites (smut glut) and, thus great competition, it definitely takes hard work to attract visitors to your sites.  Online porn giants rely on ma-and-pa operations to feed traffic to their sites through a web of banner ads and affiliation programs. However, the problem with this is that these business pay our more in the affiliate programs for traffic than they make in one membership. Now these large businesses are dependent on new sites, constantly to become affiliated with these paid sites and the challenge is that so much content is free nowdays, why should they pay? With an abundant amount of free explicit material, it is difficult to attract subscribers to pay for these sites.
