*This makes me want to write a sex scene between two CDC agents, which if you don’t know what that means, it’s Center for Disease Control.

A little plastic sheath; I make condoms into wreaths!
I've noticed every few years there is a scandal regarding condoms and the porn industry, and by this, I mean movies. The public health consensus is that condoms should be worn in movies, not just because the actors could transmit infections to each other, but because watchers of movies will emulate the act of unprotected sex in an attempt to achieve the carefree sex experience that the actors appear to be enjoying. The industry, resistant, responds that “industrial spills” (the naked cum shot) are an essential part of the visual experience. In other words, condom free fucks are critical infrastructure to the distribution and consumption of porn products. (Ha! My word processor wants to change that to pork products. Perhaps industry slogan should be: Porn, the other white meat.) Rather than treating them as hazardous materials incidents in which all the participants are wrapped in plastic and respirators, like studious CDC agents*, the sex act should be allowed to unfold unfettered.
Both players emphasize that they are concerned about prevention of disease transmission, but go about limiting exposure to viruses and preventing cross genital contamination from body fluids in different ways. Public health wants to regulate condoms, while the porn industry wants to self-require a strict regiment of testing among actors. I’m sure they also use lots of bleach and respirators to clean up the film sets-or I sincerely hope so.
Unfortunately, every few years in the sex film state of California, there is an outbreak of one STD or another. The industry is rocked. The news cycle buzzes with whether symptoms were ignored in search of the almighty dollar or whether the players simply lacked symptom of the horrible disease du jour.
This jerks the debate of required condom use in pornography back to front and center. Should condom use be mandated in pornography. It makes me think about how it applies to my writing. I’m not worried about giving my characters infections through the practice of reckless, unprotected sex. The only way my characters are getting sick are if I write infection with bacteria into the story. No one is worried about epidemics of syphilis in literary characters. Books are excellent antiviral agents.
What I’m more concerned about is modeling for my readers. While I expect my readers to be adults, and adults need to take responsibility for themselves, there is something very true about modeling. People look to each other for cues and direction about how to live life. You can quarantine fluids, but you can’t quarantine ideas. The question for me, is how responsible, how much modeling should I do. Should I always have characters reach for condoms? When they don’t use condoms should I punish them with HIV and chlamydia? Or are books precisely a safe place to play out fantasy? Mystery writers cleverly murder people all the time in books. Should they avoid doing so, so they don’t model unhealthy behavior? Should I put a disclaimer on all of my books? Would Stephen King do that?
I’m not really sure how I feel about this topic. Not one little plastic bit.
