VIDEO: Kayden Kross Defends Condom Choice on FOX News
Posted by Genesis_Lisa in Interviews, News, Opinions, Press ReleasesDigital Playground contract star Kayden Kross defended the rights of porn performers to choose whether to use condoms in adult productions on the Fox Business show “Stossel” this past weekend .
Libertarian Stossel posed the question of mandatory condom use and why the government enacted the new law in Los Angeles to Kross and former prosecutor Wendy Murphy.
Stossel said the politicians created the law to protect performers, but Kross fired back and said a third party stepped in and “created a crisis that wasn’t there.”
Responding to Stossel’s point that there is a problem with sexually transmitted diseases, Kross said that porn stars test every 20-30 days and are the most sexually tested population in the world. She added that studios won’t shoot without valid tests.
Murphy claimed an industry “insider” involved with testing said diseases are rampant and women have the right to be protected. She told Kross, “You may not care but this isn’t about you. It’s about all of the women in the industry.”
Kross said it’s her body and she can put it into any situation she chooses. But Murphy claimed that the government should be involved because it’s about protecting all humans regardless of what an individual may want. ”It’s the purpose of government.”
Kross also said condoms are “painful” and that most performers won’t work for condom-only companies because it’s uncomfortable.
Murphy agreed that most viewers want to watch films without condoms but maintained that most porn is violent.
Stossel said politicians are trying to be helpful and have good role models.
But Kross maintained that porn’s not sex education, but a fantasy and it’s not the industry’s responsibility to educate. “Sex education is up to parents,” Kross noted.
Murphy claimed porn is a business and people are dying. She pointed to an AIDS epidemic in 2004 that struck four people. Stossel pointed out that there hasn’t been any other cases since the testing began.
“In the real world, it’s a higher statistic,” Kross said.
Stossel asked what’s going to happen?
Kross said there is a real possibility shoots will go underground, move out of California, or go overseas where there’s no regulation and things are less safe.
“So a law just doesn’t solve the problem?,” Stossel asked.

Many probably don’t know him, but Peter Steele of Type O Negative was a gentle giant. We became acquaintances when he was in the band Carnivore, and later I was proud to call him a friend as our paths continuously crossed. We’d see each other at shows at places like L’Amour or Limelight or CBGBs, paths would cross with Biohazard, etc. I’d see a Type O show, hit backstage, and Peter would always make it a point that no matter how many people were around, he’d come over and say hi and the two of us would mimic each other’s deep voices. The couple of times I had interviewed him for various music mags, it was always fun (and kinda awkward in a way of interviewing a friend) as he was completely candid and would joke about how he shouldn’t have quit his day job as a Brooklyn garbage man ’cause he made more money than in the music biz. Or when he had his brush with porn when he appeared in Playgirl in 1995, we all used to bust his balls about that by telling him that most of the mag’s readers were dudes, and he regretted doing it, but he was cool about it even though he could pretty much crush anyone he wanted to because he was 6′7″ and ripped.
The award-winning veteran director and journalist reportedly felt ill and was taken to a Los Angeles hospital where he later passed in the company of his two close friends Christian Mann and Aiden Starr.
We at Genesis magazine want to take this opportunity to pay tribute and show our appreciation to the men and women who have served in the military and dedicated themselves to protecting the rights, freedom and way of life that we as Americans enjoy and hold dear.
