Everyone in California THINK that they are the end all and be all. This so-called "talent pool" is nothing more than a couple of dozen "models" at LA Direct that those companies shoot over and over and over again.
So IF a person were to test positive and yet they were complete lunatics and felt the need to shoot porn and spread HIV...they could simply leave California and go anywhere in the world and perform.
Not saying that's likely. I'm just saying that everyone keeps using the terms "porn industry" and the "talent pool" etc.
We need to realize that the MAJORITY of porn is not shot in California. Yeah, the big old school Video companies are there. And yeah there are some big boy affiliate programs who made that their shooting base as well.
But there are thousands of smaller operations (like mine) around the world who have never and will never shoot a scene in LA
And there are lots of very big companies who don't shoot in LA either. Payserve for instance is in the Netherlands. Incredible Dollars travels the world shooting new girls that have never been seen before. Celian of X-Cel is in Paris. The list goes on and on.
I don't know if it's narcissism (I mean look at the AVN awards...it's just the same people who practically live next door to each other handing awards to themselves and ignoring some of the top selling people in this industry just because they aren't working in porn valley), or just isolationism...but there is NO way to remove anybody from the "talent pool" in porn.
Just like there's no way to remove anybody from the "fucking pool" in real life.
Thankfully, it's pretty damn difficult to catch HIV:
"According to a report by researchers Norman Hearst and Stephen Hulley in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the odds of a heterosexual becoming infected with AIDS after one episode of penile-vaginal intercourse with someone in a non-high-risk group without a condom are one in 5 million. With a condom it's even safer--one in 50 million. Just to put this in perspective, the chances of someone in your family getting injured next year in a bubble bath are 1 in 1.3 million (source: The Odds on Virtually Everything, Heron House, 1980). You're in much greater danger of being struck by lightning (1 in 600,000), having your house bombed (1 in 290,000), or being murdered (1 in 11,000)."
