But i've never felt that the "risk" factor (whether for STD's or any other health problems) has anything to do with my enjoyment of porn. And it's kind of disturbing to think that some people may actually get a "thrill" from the potential of performers exposing themselves to disease or injury for the fans sick pleasure. (Though it's certainly not unimaginable to me, and i'm aware that such behavior has been present in some gay circles.) On the contrary, that whole side of performing is probably biggest negative in the biz in my opinion
I can't speak for Alysa here, but i'm sure that she, as a pro, performs primarily for the money. I'm also sure there's a thrill involved for her and many other performers. There's no reason she shouldn't enjoy her work, and as with many entertainment professions, the enthusiasm adds special value to the performance and the audience's appreciation. Alysa is not a superstar because of the health risks she takes, but because of her no-limits, extreme style of performance, as well as her special personal appeal
This is not an argument for using condoms in porn, nor do i have an issue with "risky acts" as such. I just hope all involved are constantly trying to minimize the inherent risks. The potential of disaster may be part of the thrill, for performers & spectators alike, in sports like auto-racing or downhill skiing. Some people are into mainly in the hope of witnessing a huge crash. There is probably even an erotic component to it. But for me that element of danger in porn is limited simply to the transgressive elements in breaking social taboos about sex. To get one's thrills by viewing bareback sex performances, with the conscious emphasis on the potential for disease, just strikes me as, well,

You do not understand me, Priapos!
I read, what Alysa wrote on ADT forum and I am enraptured, how much she is brave. You are right. Alysa is a superstar because of her no-limits, extreme style of performance, but we cannot ignore fact that "no-limits extreme style" is a high risk behavior! People, who knows medical aspect, can assess that.
For example! The main danger of anal sex - damaged mucous in a rectum. More intensive contacts - more damages! After intensive anal sex, especially double anal sex and other extreme things, emerge many micro fissures in the rectum walls. We all can see that the girls asses become pretty sore after anal sex. Sore rectum is very susceptible for diseases. If guy has infection and he ejaculate in the ass, it mean that he ejaculate in the circulation of blood! This is the reason, why anal creampie is the most dangerous.
Did you see her scene for "DPfanatics"? She did a real anal creampie after double anal penetration. She did also A2P in this scene. I think you know that A2P is very dangerous for the girls. It is risk to get a serious bacterial infections during that. You can find real stories of performers in the net , who had a bad experience after A2P. But ... she did it! She was absolutely unprotected in this scene and did a bunch of extreme things!
This is other side of extreme acts. Porn is entertainment for viewers of course. You can get a lot of thrill while watching extreme acts, but this is a real risk for performers. Alysa is working on a highest risk level for our pleasure. She knowingly take this risk for us. She said that despite of the risk she like to work without condoms, thus she can get the more thrill for her and for her partner. When "Querlatte" asked her, what was her motivation for moving from well salaried webcam business to "dirty" porn work, she said: "Thrill, drive, new dating". She is very courageous girl! It is very good, because a lot of people are loving to watch this extreme stuff. Life is impossible without risks.

I have a great respect for her. She is real heroine, real superstar! I think Alysa understood me!
