Here was yet another porn performer, one of those who do athletic and unsafe sex for a living, telling the world to use spit instead of lube (which Jameson did, notoriously). The book then had, I suppose, an identity crisis; from what I heard it chewed through a couple ghostwriters, yet came out as one of the more fun, trashy, tabloid-style bios I'd read in a while. Studios like local Kink.com know that what their models do is an extreme sport (and at Kink, accent on the "extreme" part), thus they treat their performers and models like Olympic athletes. The films are edited to make it look like everyone's having a good day; there's no PMS, no periods, no birth control, no STDs (and miraculously, no safe sex!), no headaches, no farting, no meltdowns and no disabilities. The condom exception is on gay porn sets where they're handed out; in straight porn condoms are laughably optional as the pool of straight performers rely on their AIM test results as their ticket to perform. [...] wait — if you have sex like a porn star, women orgasm from the slightest stimulation! Vaginal douches are standard — and douching is really not good for the vagina, at all (it strips out all the helpful, protective bacteria). More disciplined and/or self-conscious bottoms will also limit their food intake for 24 hours before their scene (which has the added bonus of making them appear slimmer on-camera). Three times I saw hygiene-related problems arise, all involving straight or 'gay for pay' performers during their initial foray into gay porn, including one very famous male star doing his first J/O for a gay studio. In front of a camera crew who are bored and hope to get home on time, while slaving over a hot starlet who is also probably bored and hoping to get home in time for "America's Next Top Model" or her mani-pedi appointment, and waiting for the director to tell him when and where to come. Despite some horrible side effects (and downright terrifying application!) some guys insist on using it because, unlike Viagra, they don't have to think about it — they just stay hard for hours and hours.
