Kayden Kross Says She Is Against Measure B
In her latest blog entry for XBIZ, porn star Kayden Kross looks at Measure B and the negative impact it will have on the industry. Simply put, Measure B would enforce the use of condoms on all porn sets in Los Angeles.
Kayden writes, “In the next movie I opted out of condoms, and have ever since. Six years I’ve been doing this with a perfect testing record. The system has worked for me.” She continues, “And in that time, yes, performers have caught gonorrhea. They have caught Chlamydia. When this has happened they have taken antibiotics and a week off and then returned to work, good as new. They have not caught HIV. Not a single case of HIV has been transmitted on one of our porn sets in the entire time I’ve been in this industry…”
She explains that condoms will interfere with the fantasy of porn: “And who wants to see condoms in porn anyway? Porn is fantasy. It is fantastical with fantastically crazy situations wherein incredibly unlikely women with incredibly unlikely breasts suddenly fall to their knees over men who have their own incredibly unlikely anatomy at the slightest provocation…”
Kayden goes on, “[Porn] push[es] [the] limits that would make even a puppet show retch — everything from the dialogue to the story holes to the errors in continuity that are just positively and irreverently savage…But… Measure B would have us get all real-world on your ass and strap a condom on the unlikely dicks and remind everybody sitting at home that fantasy time isn’t very fantastical at all…”
It’s safe to say that Kayden, along with Steven St. Croix, are against Measure B simply because it would take their right to choose to either wear a condom or not. However, for them and others in the industry it goes further than that—it would definitely be a blow to an industry that is built on sex and fantasy.
