Porno Cover-Up


My cousin Sherri had been in over 2000 XXX films. I have only seen one of them, THE ABDUCTION OF JULIE. The teenage girl had sex with three men in the film. Each of their orgasms culminated in an explosion of semen in her mouth, belly, or back. In the parlance of the adult film industry this pay-off is called 'the money shot'. Sherri once asked me to be in a small film. It was a foot fetish video. Very low-rent. I was offered $200 for my role of submissive male. The director promised that my face would never be in the shot. Only my penis. It was flaccid during the ten takes during which Sharon's high heel ground into my balls and cock. I wore no condom and Sharon was careful not to hurt me. We were family. A month later an acquaintance said, "Nice cock." He had seen Sharon's film. Apparently the director had lied about giving a face to the unerect penis. I felt betrayed, but what can you expect from the XXX film industry.

My cousin quit the business to start up a clinic to protect sex- workers and adult film actors and actresses. Her protocols suggested stringent testing to prevent the transfer of STDs or sexually transmitted diseases and even worse that of AIDS. Her suggestion for condom use was ignored, for the money shot is what sells the films. It's the resolution of the storyline, especially in bukkakee films where women are covered in semen.

These dangerous behaviors are now threatened by a proposed California state regulation mandating the use of condoms for adult entertainers as well as sexual awareness training for workers in the XXX films.

No more bareback anal films is considered an infringement of the First Amendment by the adult film industry. Money shots are as important to the Freedom of Speech as words to the producers, although workers live with the danger of getting HIV such as those infected during the 2004 HIV outbreak in the San Fernando Valley.

My cousin Sherri is pro-condom. I don't use them when I masturbate. I wish I had worn one during that foot fetish film. Not over my cashew penis, but over my head to protect my identity. I was such a bad actor.
