It's something to point fingers and tut at. If they weren't doing it over porn it would be something else. EastEnders, or something equally riveting like that.

Chlamydia increased by 4% (from 109,418 in 2005 to 113,585 in 2006)
Genital warts increased by 3% (from 81,201 in 2005 to 83,745 in 2006)

Gonorrhoea decreased by 1% (from 19,248 in 2005 to 19,007 in 2006)

STI's are not exclusive to the porn industry.... Everyone SHOULD BE CAREFUL!

Very interesting figures Androm. Now let me put a thought in everyones head for a second.
Imagine if everyone in the whole wide world abstained from sex for a three month period wholoe those with stds got treated.
Do you think it would have a dramatic effect on the figures come 2008? Unreal as that may sound at least the porn industry is better placed to deal with it, if all participants really really cared that is.
Otherwise its just going to resurface and be one of those pesky things that comes around every once in a while.
What would it take to make everyone serious. HIV? Just think of the shit storm that one will cause.
The Darren James incident shook this industry like a Richter scale and that wasnt all that long ago was it?
