âLara Roxx is 18, and arrived in Californiaâs San Fernando Valley, the capital of the US porn industry, only days before she contracted HIV. She had moved down from Canada with the aim of making quick money. She was infected while being penetrated anally by two men, simultaneously, neither of whom was wearing a condom. This act is the vogue in pornography today: condoms are rarely used, and the double penetration of a single orifice, whatever the physical consequences or limitations, is seen as hot. Porn directors are devastated by the news of Roxxâs infection. David Brett, CEO of Passion Pictures, told the industryâs website, AVN: âI would be mortified if anyone got sick in connection with one of my projects. I have to sleep at night⊠I would never earn my living at the expense of some other human beingâs health and safety.â So now there is some discussion of compulsory condoms. But there is no discussion of how âhealthyâ and âsafeâ it is to brutalise teenagers in the name of entertainment. Roxxâs interview with AVN itself shows the fluidity of âconsentâ in these matters. âI told [my manager] I wasnât interested in anal at all, and I was a little freaky about the no-condom thing too,â she said. On arriving at the film shoot, she was pressured into performing the âdouble analâ scene by the director, Marc Anthony. She says: âSo I get there and Marc Anthony tells me itâs a DA, which stands for double anal. And Iâm like, âWhat? Iâve never done a double analâ. And he was like, âWell, thatâs what we need. Itâs either that or nothingâ. And thatâs how they do it⊠I think that sucks, because he knew double anal was dangerous.â Later, she says, she was in pain and could not sit down.â
