Sexual healthcare for sex workers

Thank you for all of the good points that you make throughout your response, but you miss the point. Microarray testing allows you to do $25K of testing for under $200, because you are reducing everything to a programmed microarray that tests simultaneously on the same sample. If you look at what Vibrant is doing with rare autoimmune diseases, it is amazing. A single neurological autoimmune test is looking for dozens of conditions that would each individually cost more than the entire Vibrant test array costs. As long as you get incremental diseases tested for "free", why not test them?

You are right that many humans have many Herpes viruses. Personally, I am one of those rare individuals who does not have EBV. Even if I have a committed partner, it is useful for us to know what each of us had before the relationship started, and what changes during the relationship. If you are not paying any additional money for the extra information, why object to that, as long as anyone gets value from it?

You should never presume that a given individual - maybe outside the porn industry where some studios might make it a job requirement - has every vaccination. Getting Hep A/B/C status is a no brainer, as long as it does not cost extra money.

I would agree with your approach if the extra testing cost extra money. The whole point of my post was to encourage them to look at microarrays as a way of breaking through the cost barrier and opening up much wider testing for not-much-extra money.

Are you seriously trying to take on someone who actually has advanced education and training as a virologist for a topic that has nothing to do with someone who likes to manage and target new models who don't know yet what they're doing?

Fuck. Imagine modsplaining camming in a forum of mostly independent models and then layman's take on a topic that doesn't even revolve around a man or your parts and then arguing with someone who actually is a virologist.

I am not "trying to take on" the virologist. I am trying to have an educated conversation with an expert on a topic for which I also have some knowledge and evidence. Sexual disease testing affects both sexes, so my angle was to push for a test that covers a larger group of diseases. I took the conversation with him offline.

I haven't tried to help a new studio model improve her show in over a year now. I realized at some point that this is a pointless activity and the model needs to figure things out on her own. I have no financial interest in her outcome, and she needs to find a studio that can help her if she wants help. I should not have to wear this like a scarlet letter forever. I made a mistake. I acknowledge the mistake. I changed my behavior.

I have not mansplained anyone here, and if I ever did that by mistake I would be the first to back down. I have no need to win any points about modeling with models here and I do not try.

Smores. Stop. I'm glad you finally stopped being an exploitive piece of shit. But you don't know when to back off when you are overstepping. You virussplained to a goddamn virologist. I'm all for having scientific conversations, but you acted like you an arbiter on the subject.

You have mansplained a lot the four years you have been on this forum. The first fucking reply in this thread is you mansplaining (or camsplaining) that cammodels don't need an easy and affordable STI screening.

Webcam models do not have real-world sex with their customers. It is all fantasy-based and through the Internet. So there is not a good product-market fit for what you do. Real-life couples broadcast together, but again that is not a good fit to your product.

There are porn studios in countries like Venezuela / Columbia that broadcast group sex on sites like CB, and the performers appear to be at risk, with lots of casual unprotected multi-partner sex. No doubt they have some testing done in house and would want to save money on testing. But these are poor South American countries and maybe hard for you to market to.

Actually there are quite a few cam models who are also sex workers. I think this post is really pertinent, and something we as an agency recommend to all the girls we represent.
