You and I have no way of knowing if that is a "change" since the adult industry began. My guess is that a porn star girl has ALWAYS commanded more money from her wealthy clients.
They aren't street hookers. Guys who book time with a porn star are usually high middle-class to upper class guys with enough money to afford a fantasy.
And again...where are you hearing that porn girls are "spreading" STD's? That is just not true. STD's are a part of society as a whole. They were a LOT worse and more widespread in the 1970's when I was a teenager. In 2012, not so much.
And in the porn industry (and strippers as well), where performers rely on being clean...it is pretty rare.
I'm just not sure where you're getting the idea that suddenly in 2012 everything changed in the adult industry (or let's just call it what it is...the sex industry).
It's a thousand times safer than it was in the "old days"

Okay well, I'm not as old as you Robbie. LOL!! But I can tell you where "I" am coming from:
Being in NYC and away from Porn Valley it's easy for me to get isolated and just care about Mister Peabody World and my own online reality. But in the past year or so I've "branched out", gone to some shows, met people "in the Industry" and learned quite a lot about what's going on in porn outside my little world.
So maybe a lot of this IS new to me but when I see the whole Mr. Marcus debacle going down, the condom laws in LA becoming a reality, the entire Industry feeding on itself and I see a situation that is getting worse, not better. Being a chess player I trained myself to see several moves ahead and what do I see? Fragmentation, government intervention, a shrinking Industry and seperation between the Manwins of the world and us "lottle guys". So what's the next move? Get out and go 'mainstream'? Or hang on to whatever scraps are left until those too are taken away by legislation or worse?
Those who are advocating the porn industry police itself via regular testing, organizations, etc should be behind a rating ssystem - but only if WE control the ratings!
