Death And The Maiden ...

Some bloggers have remarked on the recent amazing scientific discovery that sexually transmitted diseases were - well, transmitted by sex.

Alas despite regular checkups this hideous fact is now being being brought home to the US porn industry. After the deaths of John Holmes and others, the 'industry' became very safety conscious. But no industry involving the intimate exchange of bodily fluids can be totally safe, and there appears to be trouble in paradise with an HIV outbreak among US porn stars.

I'm a bit dubious about this comment from one producer, who said that if a two-month ban on shooting films were called, people 'would continue to shoot underground'. Kinky or what ?

And for those who think that non-penetrative sex is the answer, disturbing news in this somewhat tastelessly titled piece from Japan.

UPDATE - more trouble in paradise.
