    Manwin Slashes Contributions to Performer Testing Fund

    Sign of the Times In Today's Mail:

    Dear Adult Industry Directors and Producers,

    I am writing you as participants of FSC's APHSS (Adult Production Health and Safety Services) program. In the fall of 2012, through some initial donations from a variety of producers and ongoing donations from Manwin, FSC began providing subsidies to performers for their testing expenses. The subsidy varied from month to month depending on how many performers test and how many times they test in a given month. We have been sending out an average of 500 checks monthly to performers and the performers are very grateful for the subsidy.

    Manwin has been contributing $50,000/ month to the fund and 100% of that $50,000 has gone to subsidize performer testing. Manwin has agreed to continue to contribute to the fund at a level of $10,000 per month with the agreement that they will match contributions up to $50,000.

    I am writing you on behalf of the performers asking you to consider a monthly contribution to the fund so that the performers may continue to realize some financial relief of the cost of testing through the subsidy. Please reply to this email if you and/or your company are willing to contribute and I will follow up with you at your convenience.

    Thank you for considering this important request. I know we all agree that our performers are the backbone of our industry and we want to make sure we do all we can to keep them happy and healthy.

    Thanks again,
    Diane

    Would be great to get that $50k matching funding...otherwise, too bad about the cuts.

          Has anyone actually spoken with a performer that has received one of those checks?

                50 THOUSAND DOLLARS a month. LOL

                I think we all know where that money went...

                I've already shown everyone that you can get tested for around $50 (and we don't pay anything...our insurance does). That's testing for HIV, gonorrhea, and syphilis.

                If I can get it done for that price as a single person...I can only imagine that a company with hundreds of adult talent testing through them would be able to negotiate a HUGE discount on that price. I would say at least HALF of that.

                The hypocrisy and greed is just comical. This is SUPPOSED to be about keeping talent healthy. Instead, it's become a gravy train for "adult testing companies" who are nothing more than middle men between you going to the doctor and getting a lab test done.

                All in the name of making people FEEL "safe". I feel a LOT less safe driving my car than I do driving a whore's pussy all night long. lol

                But seriously...the price gouging is just unbelievable. If the FSC really cared about helping performers afford testing...they could just tell the truth about what it really costs and help everyone get tested simply by NOT gouging the price.

                        when I got the blood work done for TRT I went though my health ins ... cost almost $900 with my paying about $180 or something like that... though I got a great deal. now I use a Dr that allows me to test at his rate. I tell the lab I have no health ins... the lab bills the Dr, he then passes the bill to me at his cost... $183

                        The Night Watchman

                        Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, “Someone may steal from it at night.” So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.

                        Then Congress said “How does the watchman do his job without instruction?” So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.

                        Then Congress said, “How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?” So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One was to do the studies and one was to write the reports.

                        Then Congress said, “How are these people going to get paid?” So they created two positions and then hired a time keeper and a payroll officer.

                        Then Congress said, “Who will be accountable for all of these people?” So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

                        Then Congress said, “We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cut back.” So they laid-off the night watchman.

                          Yeah, first they made testosterone "illegal" (even though young men are walking around with it flowing in their veins naturally), and then they handed it over to pharmaceutical companies to overcharge for. lol

                          Typical govt. holding hands with big pharma AND labs to overcharge you for a medication plus jack up pricing on lab work to "test" for testosterone levels (even though the doctor already knows it's too low after a man reaches a certain age)

                          The STD test that all the adult testing companies do actually costs less than half of what they are charging. You can go right now and have your doctor write a "standing order" (that's what we did) to the same exact labs that do blood work for the adult testing centers (Lab Corp...they are nationwide).

                          And like I was saying...anybody that does things in bulk (like the FSC is trying to do, or AIM did, or Talent Testing Service does) gets a big discount. So they should have been able to negotiate a price around $30 or less.

                          But yet they keep charging $120 and up. (and then "drawing fees" for people in other states).

                          It's a total ripoff to pay people a salary at the FSC and TTS, etc.

                          Meanwhile you have talent that is living week to week. And the main concern is male talent. And they are the lowest paid with the most hardship.

                            i guess she missed the memo that most of the companies that are balling hard making money on adult content are in fact mostly parasites that bring nothing to the table like dating, penis pills, hook up ads, and other cpa scams of one flavor or another. i don't think they understand the way the money flows in adult any more.

                              probably saving up for an imminent tax bill.

                              they'll have a bucket out soon for collections. (whip round)

                                  What these dimwits at the FSC are also missing is that under California Labor law those tests HAVE to be paid for by the employer.

                                  The hammer is about to come down on Talent Agents and I expect that will just be the beginning

                                  The sooner the FSC goes tits up and gets replaced by something effective, the better. Diane Duke is a fucking joke.
