So Elizabeth, yes, we are the same age. I never had wild, unprotected sex, then had to adjust and learn how to have safer sex, like people who are older than us, and, unfortunately, younger. That really does make a difference I think in the way we conceptualize safer sex. I am thinking about a new strategy to make my sets safer, and that is to require that performers have a test that is less than 15 days old instead of 30. Some performers already have this as a personal policy. I heard one performer/director insists on a 3 day old test for all people she personally has sex with. People can still slip through the cracks, but I think it would decrease the chances of STD transmission. Of course, I will probably have to pay for the tests (which are over $100 each); right now, performers pay for their own tests. But I think it's worth it in the long run.
