There is no question this is a deep and complicated subject. Each person must make their own decisions regarding behavior and conduct. However, the business end of this requires all of our attention.

If we aren’t very careful we’ll see OSHA step into all this. Looking at it logically and realistically, this can be a dangerous business. The activities involved can lead to various forms of illnesses. This is not unusual or unheard of in various businesses though. The key is taking proper precautions to prevent injury or illness. It’s not enough for a construction site foreman to say that his workers have agreed not to wear hard hats because they don’t like them. It’s a requirement.

This “safety first” policy holds on my sets. The reasons are immediate to me. The lives and health of my models is paramount. My concern for those who watch my films cannot be ignored. And we have an opportunity to change perceptions about what is erotic.

It’s unconscionable for producers to advocate endangering their models simply to make a profit. It’s indefensible to say that it’s ok because the models don’t WANT to wear condoms when you’re holding the checkbook and they know what you want.

Construction workers get paid a great deal of money to perform jobs that are dangerous and potentially hazardous to their health. The deal is that the contractor takes every precaution available to prevent accidents.
