Porn company sued over penis injections


Recommended Posts

A stagehand working for a gay pornography company has sued his employers in San Francisco Superior Court, alleging he was forced to inject performers with a controlled drug to prolong their erections.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed Friday, Ronald Baker of San Francisco claims he suffered emotional distress and anxiety-induced health problems when he accidentally pierced his finger in January after injecting a performer in the penis with TriMix, a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction.

When he contacted his employer, Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network based in North Carolina, over concerns he may have contracted HIV, his bosses told him they did not know what to do, according to the lawsuit. When Baker discovered the models did not have prescriptions for TriMix, he refused to administer further injections and violate state law. His paychecks and health benefits were then cut off, said Elisa Stewart, his attorney.

Baker is suing for wrongful termination, emotional distress and violations of labor and professional business codes.

"They are injecting a controlled substance into all these models without checking with a doctor if it's OK for that person to have that prescription medication, and they are using people on the set to give the shots," Stewart said. "You have to be a nurse in the state of California to give an injection."

Because TriMix can help maintain an erection for several hours, she said, pornographers consider it a way to keep costs down and cameras rolling.

I'd have emotional distress if my job description included holding other guys' penises

Money might make you change your mind and feel like you're just a professional doing your job.

None of this surprises me, except that this guy lives in SF and doesn't know what to do if he thinks he's been infected with HIV. You can find a million different ways to get tested in that city.

He's also gonna need corroboration from whoever he told because if not, there's no way to prove he got it from this job, if he does have it.

Needle in the penis ??? NO WAY.

It's actually a quite effective treatmentfor erectile dysfunction, and the needle ss VERY thin - often slipping between nerve endings. Smaller than what most diabetics use. Starting dose is about .25ml administrred mid-shaft at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions.

You ever done any of those injections, Doc?

Is it something that is self-administered usually? It seems odd that you would need to go see a nurse to get a temporary woody. More likely something that you have on hand at home.

Also, what about Viagra? I would think viagra would be safer to use but I have no experience.

Viagra lets you get an erection and keep it. However, once you have made your *ahem* contribution to the cause, then you lose the erection.

Thanks to you Hum, I now know how these porn stars keep going and going. :) You learn something new every day!

The first few times Trimix is administered is usually in the urologists office as a test, then another med is injected to reverse the effect so the patient can go home without 'discomfort.' Once the patient and / or their partner is trained in its use it can be done at home. Problem is the cost, which is high.

Viagra is fine for most patients, but it doesn't work on everyone for various reasons. Trimix is an escalation. It's useful for porn because it lets them maintain an erection for long periods after one or more ejaculations. All the better for scene re-shoots.

it always seemed like a good idea to stab a body part that is currently enlarged due to an increased flow of blood to the point it becomes stiff, nothing bad would ever come of that.
