I love the woman in porn but this crossover shit needs to stop!
Nikki came across fine and was being honest with her opinion.
She is in the porn industry and knows the real deal.
So it's nothing wrong with her talking about it.
Listen to her comments here. Seriously. She said she knew a male perfomer was "double dipping" because he got turned on by her asshole?!?!?!!? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
I think that discussing where risks come from within the porn industry is just fine. However, Nikki is notorious for approaching these things without a full perspective of information and ultimately saying something discriminatory or ignorant. Her comments in that video are ridiculous.
Statistically, men who have sex with other men are at a way higher risk, yes. However, these numbers are not substantiate within the porn industry. Risk increases based on the circuits within porn that any performer chooses to work in. Not by sexual orientation. Her comments suggest blacklisting any males who are bisexual, not promoting higher standards or better education.
There were two moratoriums within the last year in the straight circuit. Both cases were traced back to transmission within the performer's personal lives, not an on-set transmission. This would suggest that the risk is present within performer's personal lives of any orientation, not necessarily just for gay or bi male performers.
Lola you rock!!! Intelligence and a grrrreat ass is an irresistible combo

So we all know crossover porn has been a big issue in the industry.
Also can you really say it's not a big factor?
Why do some performers hide that they do crossover porn then if it's not a big issue?
It's not the only factor but a pretty big one that some people are not into and yes it's very risky.

Yes, we all know that crossover is a big issue. YES we know that many performers hide it.
But let's ask why! WHY is do they hide it? WHY is it an issue?
Because of unsubstantiated claims that seem to be derived from latent homophibia that breed shame. NOT because of actual statistics based in the porn industry that can illustrate the risk. If Nikki Benz can show me the numbers, I am happy to listen.
I'm not defending the people who hide it - but do you blame them? They could spend a whole gay porn career being safe, using condoms, and testing clean. And then you have cunts like Nikki riding in on a half-tard high-horse trying to shut out performers who have had ANY gay sex on film. There have been many straight performers who have hid that they had a positive test. Doesn't happen frequently but in some lower production valur circuits it has happen. Which brings me back t the point of selecting the proper individuals based on their proven integrity instead of sexual orientation or choice of partners during their career.
That is called group discrimination. That is wrong - which is why the supreme court just LEGALIZD GAY MARRAIGE.
This is not a gender or orientation issue. It is a lack of screening and education in the porn ndustry across the board!
Lastly, on a very related note - lets look at why men who have sex with other men were reported to be a scale-tipping 63% of all new HIV infections in 2010. A little over half, which is quite a bit when considering other genders and orientations. I would really love to see what portion of that 63% is in the porn industry. I'd be willing to bet that most of it is repressed gay white kids who have to hide their orientation and lack the education in sexual safety.
You know why they are at a higher risk? BECAUSE OF GAY-SHAMING. We have a hard enough time fighting proper hetero sex ed in schools - do you think they are teaching kids about safe gay sex? Doubt it. The stigma that still SOMEHOW still lies around homosexual sex is one of the biggest dampers in preventing HIV by provding open resources and education for males who engage ini homsexual sex.
This same thing is happening in porn. When you sit in umbrella judgement you completely inhbit productive prevention.
So what i'm trying to say, really. Is that NIkki Benz is responsible for HIV in the porn community. 
My simultaneous brain and body crush begins on Lola Luscious...NOW!
I get wobbly knees for a fierce beautiful woman with a big brain.

the video and I don't see the 'controversy' in what Nikki Benz said. I thought she was articulate, intelligent, and most importantly, had common sense. She doesn't want to work with 'men who have sex with other men, who will have sex with women' because she doesn't want to catch HIV or Hep. C.
Seriously, what is wrong with possessing that occupational safety mindset?
I agree with Nikki. She is NOT bashing gay men. She is only saying if you are a 'man who have sex with men' stay in the 'gay industry arena'. There is a profession for that and stick to that profession.
And I am fully aware that there are the 'social justice warrior' types in the adult industry and a segment of the fans who want to do away with the gay, straight, and transgender 'boundaries' of the adult industries and allow performers to work in wherever industry they choose, regardless of the inherent risk, in the guise of its all 'adult work'. It does not matter that this male was the bottom in a 10 man gay bareback gangbang yesterday and next week he is working in the straight industry and penetrating a woman.
Nikki doesn't want to get caught up in that and I completely understand why!
This was a really smart article written back three years ago.
So every person in porn or this hobby has the right to protect themselves.
Also make the right choice for themselves in picking a provider you feel comfortable with in the future!

Let me be clear, I DO get the perspective, and I think that is anyone's personal choice. PERSONAL being the operative word here. It is not ok to get on an intereview using homophobic generalizatons to try to rally others to agree with your personal choice.
On another note - it hardly relates to my clients even if I ever did work with a gay performer. See, what I would do is research my gay talent and decide from there BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL if i believe he has been safe and wise. From that point I would either choose not to work with him or request a condom shoot - which we all have the right to do. And when I see clients I ALWAYS use condoms. NO MATTER WHAT.
So as long as we are all reasonable instead of shutting out an entire population of people - we actually bring more mindfulness to our career and safety choices.
I was in Vegas at one of the strip clubs and the UTR mentioned to me a popular male performer wanted to work with her, but even though the UTR liked him was concerned because he did she-male vids as well as "mainstream" so the UTR wouldn't work with him.
But again several years later, this UTR performed on a popular website with another prolific male performer who is known to have done gay porn, which I believe is common with male performers.

You're right, it is super common but not always. I just hated how she said "they act like 'WE' aren't going to find out" like the 'straights' are the porn police! Wtf? Any men I have met who "crossover" haven't tried to hide it. Probably because they are confident in their precautions.
So yes some straight guys like myself do not want to fuck a provider.
Who see other male hobbyists that fucks TS or other men.
We all have a choice to do what we feel comfortable with and some of us are not cool with that crossover thing.
It does not mean anybody is evil here.
Just means everybody has a different opinion on this subject matter.
