STI and sexual stuff in porn actors

Why don't most of porn actors and actresses get STI?
I know that porn is not based on real life but why they ejaculate or squirt a lot?

Hi mika.m

The basic answer is that porn performers use a few different approaches to decrease the chances of STI transmission, and they're basically the same things anybody else does. Some performers decide they only want to do shoots where barriers like condoms and dental dams are used. But there is are also organizations that set rules around what's necessary for a performer or studio to operate, and one of the rules set is around frequency of STI testing, specifically to help prevent the spread of STIs between performers.

Too, even with those safeguards in place, porn performers may still contract STIs during work, just like anyone else might contract an STI from partnered sex.

As for why you see a lot of ejaculate in porn, one thing to know is that what you see onscreen may not be real ejaculate at all. This article touches on the different things studios will use to make it look like ejaculate has happened: https://www.scarleteen.com/article/poli ... n_part_one
