We have an obligation not to put anyone at increased risk of harm, which is what targeting these clients would do. This is why the solicitation charge was challenged. Then go after THAT. I'm sure there are clients of street-based workers who don't do these things. Why should they be targeted because of the actions of others? When outdoor parks were "known" to be used by gay men for sex because used condoms were found around, would it then make sense for police to go after all gay men? Homelessness and addiction issues also contribute to the problem of used condoms and drugs paraphernalia being found outdoors. Should we round up all the homeless persons and throw them in jail? Again: target what is actually the problem, not what you think is the cause of the problem.

Targeting customers is a sure-fire way to make things worse for street-based workers. If clients know they are at risk of being arrested/charged, they are going to be less likely to allow time for workers to size them up curb-side. They are going to want the worker to jump in the car right away so that they do not draw attention, and this means that in order to get a call the worker is not going to be able to properly assess the client. I would much rather see supportive housing for street-based workers and increased access to social support programs (see: http://www.pivotlegal.org/pivot-points/blog/housing-committed-to-sex-worker-safety-is-a-critical-part-of-the-solution)

I am not a girl. I am not for sale; my services are. You don't buy your hairdresser, you pay for their services. Also, what is a "real" man? This whole campaign has irritated me from day one, when Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher started it. The men they used in their campaigns had an awful track record of misogyny - not very "real" men themselves. If these folks in Sudbury are having issues with finding condoms and syringes in their backyards, they might want to address THAT. It may not just be sexworkers utilizing those areas but also an issue of homelessness and addiction.

...Inner? ;) I have been SO GOOD this semester at concentrating on my studies and not staying up all night playing Borderlands 2. I have a stack of games and books waiting for me once I write my last exam...

[quote]An interesting story where freedom of personal choice is weighed against safer sex practices.[/quote] I wouldn't say that's an accurate reflection. Professional porn scenes are not equivalent to "civilian" sex - these are often long shoots with lengthy sex scenes. Many performers report that while they may use condoms in their personal sex lives, their use in porn productions may actually be causing more damage than preventing it. "And female porn star Noname Jane, who has also been working in the industry for 10 years, argues that condoms cause health problems for women whom â??outsidersâ? like Weinstein donâ??t fully understand. â??Condoms are good if youâ??re doing a nice, romantic sex scene because [viewers] donâ??t seeâ? the condom, explains Jane. â??But most porn thatâ??s shot is â??gonzo porn,â?? when the guy really pounds away. When youâ??re getting pounded like that, no amount of lube stops the friction burn. And you tend to get more infections when your vagina is damaged.â? Porn star Stone also says he experiences friction burn and condoms rolling down or breaking. Stone and Jane say they feel safe under the porn industryâ??s current policy that mandates performers be tested by the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation every 30 days for sexually transmitted diseases. Without a clean bill of health, actors and actresses canâ??t work." ([url]http://www.aidshealth.org/archives/news/la-weekly-profiles-ahfs-adult[/url]) And why I love Stoya... "Testing vs. Condoms in Pornography Monday, Sept 17th: I woke up. I showered, washed my hair, and carefully shaved my underarms, legs, and genitalsâ?¦ avoiding any cuts or razorburn. I gently brushed my teeth and skipped flossing as dental floss can cause small cuts on gums. I went to the location where we were filming my newest pornographic movie for Digital Playground. My test hadnâ??t been uploaded to the APHSS database yet. The APHSS database replaces the extremely difficult to tamper with STD/STI test viewing system that the adult industry lost when AIM was shut down. We were already transitioning over to this database when Mr. Marcus recently became infected with Syphilis and faked his test results, and most of the major production companies are now requiring that all performers be listed in the APHSS database as cleared to work before performing a scene. Even though my test (which was negative for HIV, Syphilis, Gonorrhea and Chlamydia) had been emailed directly from the testing facility to the production manager, we waited about an hour until my test results were uploaded and the database showed a green check mark next to my name before shooting anything. Makeup was applied to my face and things involving a straightening iron were done to my hair. I was dressed by wardrobe. We began shooting the story part of the movie. [URL="http://www.jamesdeenblog.com"]James Deen[/URL], the male performer I was working with that day, arrived on set. Manwin is the company that owns Digital Playground. Their PR person arrived on set with a science correspondent from the New York Times named Donald McNeil and his photographer. Mr. McNeil was there to observe what we do before shooting a sex scene. He said he was interested in the adult industry because we havenâ??t had a single case of HIV transmission within the industry in 8 years and there is no other community he knows of that has that low of a transmission rate. A couple of performers have been infected with HIV outside of the heterosexual oriented porn industry and been identified as positive before passing it on to anyone else. Others who wanted to enter the adult industry have been identified as positive before entering it. Since the infections of Darren James, Miss Arroyo, Jessica Dee, and Laura Roxx in [URL="http://business.avn.com/articles/Viral-Load-Results-Indicate-James-was-Patient-Zero-38403.html"]2004[/URL], there has not been a single transmission of HIV on an adult film set in the US. After we had filmed everything James Deen and I were needed for aside from the sex scene, we filled out our paperwork. This includes a performer release, tax forms and 2257 documentation to prove we are over 18. The production manager printed out a copy of each performerâ??s page in the APHSS database. I signed my own copy and Jamesâ??s, indicating that my results were mine and accurate and that I had seen Jamesâ??s and was comfortable working with him and his clean test which had been taken less than 14 days prior. He did the same. Then the production manager performed an inspection. He looked in our mouths, at both sides of our hands, and at our genitals to make sure there were no visible sores or open wounds. There was another paper to sign stating that we have no sores or open wounds on or in our mouths, hands, and genitals and had been inspected. We also looked at each others genitals, mostly for fun but if either of us had seen (or smelled) something odd we would have called off the scene ourselves. Then we said goodbye to the reporters (who didnâ??t seem interested in sticking around for the fun part) and had fun, uninhibited sex together while the camera crew filmed it. We were able to have fun, uninhibited sex with each other without a condom because we both knew that the chances of either of us being infected with an STD are very low. Far lower than, say, a stranger at a bar or a person who hasnâ??t been tested in a year or more. Our frequent STD testing, the APHSS database (and AIM before them), and the skin inspections are self-imposed. The adult industry created these procedures to keep themselves safer. I follow these procedures to keep myself safer, and because it is required in order to be able to work. When any performer tests positive for HIV or Syphilis, we stop production voluntarily. When I (fairly rarely) have sex with someone outside of the adult industry, I use a condom (Full disclosure: unless we have both been tested very recently, I am on a hiatus from the adult industry, and we are only having sex with each other - also known as monogamy) because I donâ??t want to catch anything and bring it into our talent pool. I donâ??t want to catch anything and be unable to work. Measure B claims to be attempting to fix a problem that doesnâ??t really exist, and ignores the highly successful health and safety measures that the adult industry already has in place. If everyone in the world got tested every 14 to 28 days, was as educated as we are about the risks they take when they have sex, and called a halt to sexual activity any time one person tested positive for an STI until the incubation period had passed and everyone had been re-tested, there would probably be a lower rate of infection outside the adult industry as well."

Yes, but unfortunately Prop 35 and Measure B both passed.

Best wishes! I'll miss your brownies ;)

Both of those articles don't have any outside supporting documentation. They contain links to other articles on the same website, except for one that links to yahoo, which when followed is a broken link. You can't make a claim and support it with another made-up claim, unless it is purely anecdotal. At some point there needs to be factual evidence to back it up, or it's not credible.

Well now that Jason has opened the floor to sarcastic smilies...

Ah, here we go, again. Jason, we got into this two years ago and I am not about to rehash the argument. If you want to believe whatever is out there on the internet, that's your choice. However that website lists very little documentation to support its claims, and it still lists the MMR vaccine as having a link to autism. Not the most scientifically accurate source of information.

It is not possible to get the flu from a flu vaccine; it is a dead virus, although for some individuals, some of the side effects of the vaccine can be similar to symptoms of the flu itself. Getting the vaccine or not is really a personal decision, although I highly recommend getting accurate information (I recall a flu vaccine debate a couple years ago here with some pretty out-there links!) and weighing the pros and cons. I personally have gotten most of the ones out there including the Hep A/B Twinrix, HPV, and the yearly flu shot. I figure it's better to be safe than sorry, especially with this line of work and my own personal work and travels.

Cheerleader. Hot chocolate or chocolate milk?

Vanilla :) Pencil or pen?

I just had a russet apple for a snack (lovely fall apples, I was so glad to find one at a farmer's market!) and later I'll be taking a walk to find a restaurant that appeals to me... I love discovering new restaurants when travelling!

Tits! Wine: red or white?

Considering that the door fee goes to the establishment and the attendants are not being paid an hourly rate, not tipping an MA means they are not getting paid, unless you are at an establishment like VIP or CMJ where the rate includes the portion that goes to the lady.

There are quite a few sex workers who have participated in IAmA threads, in different aspects of the industry. A quick google search for reddit IAmA sex worker (or escort, prostitute, etc) or a search on reddit itself will show you more discussions :) I am a fan of Stoya, reading her IAmA was a lot of fun!

Technically the old laws are still in effect while it is being appealed, but you'd be hard-pressed to find police charging someone with this offence unless there is other kinds of activity going on.
