Male Porn Stars Rush to Get Vasectomies After ‘Roe’ Reversal
The radical Supreme Court’s overruling of Roe v. Wade allowed numerous conservative states to ban abortion and strip women of their freedom. Right-wingers are already discussing plans to try to ban abortion in more states—and male porn stars aren’t taking any chances.
All across porn valley, male adult performers are considering getting vasectomies to ensure they don’t get co-stars pregnant on porn sets if anti-abortion legislation reaches California. When you work as a porn star, you have non-condom sex with numerous co-workers, so you run the risk of getting a scene partner pregnant. Adult performers work hard to avoid this scenario—many women take birth control or opt-out of scenes that end with internal cum shots, but if you have ever had sex, you know accidents happen. Birth control occasionally fails. I’ve never heard of a male performer impregnating his female co-star on set. We all know, though, those female performers could have abortions in emergencies. Now, there’s a risk to all our worst-case-scenario plans. Some porn men don’t want to run the risk of a pregnant colleague, so they’re snipping their baby-makers to make sure that’s no longer a possibility.
“I never viewed abortion as birth control but as something to be used in a last-ditch if something went completely wrong—a break-in-case-of-emergency situation,” says porn star Matt Slayer. “The Supreme Court taking away the right to choose made me give a long hard look at my role in any potential situation. I realized I should just take my baby batter out of the mix.”
