The Dangers Of ATM

Sinnamon Love posts to ADT:

E-Coli bacteria leading to a urinary or kidney infection is much more common and is probably what you guys are thinking of instead of Hep. I know several people that have had it, including myself, from doing ATM.

The thing is, after having surgery last November, (epithelial ovarian cancer,) my system is a little more apt to pick up bacteria now than before – so I am constantly on probiotics and homeopaths now where as before it wasn’t necessary. I’ve also had to start doing all prep work (enemas, etc.) at home the day of a scene because often we go on locations were there is no hot water – which doesn’t really help in killing bacteria when cleaning out. (That irks the frick out of me… Location mgrs should turn the fricken hot water on for what they get paid.) There are lots of things that we do to avoid getting sick, and for me, getting tested doesn’t stop at the requisite battery of tests necessary to be eligible for work. We are all adults, we play like adults and should anticipate the reprecussions of doing so…

Ragingbull, for some talent – it is a pressure to do things they wouldn’t normally do because of a bigger check or more box covers. For some of us, there is a genuine of love of what we do and sex means more than just lying on our backs “taking it.” I know that there’s a lot in between mish and ATM, but I think you get what I mean…

Kennyb, While I appreciate the gist of your statement, don’t forget – this is sex we are talking about! Everyone in the industry is susceptible… No, porn is not a death sentence, but that isn’t what we are talking about here.
