The AIM FOUNDATION has done a great job in the porn Industry, an Industry I have been involved in since 1979. I have seen Sharon stand with many a politician and shove AIM down their throat until the State of California passed laws requiring testing since about half the porn is in their state or more. Before it was law, less then 10% of the industry would agree to testing. Being in the Porn industry is a profession, swinging to most is a hobby. People treat it much differently and the mindset is much different.

We see 800 to 1000 people a week at the club, 40% tourists from all over the world. In 26 years we have had two people state they have contracted something while at the parties there. I have had others come tell me that people that are at our parties have something, I go ask the person and most of them have been honest with me if they do. We ask them to leave until they are no longer endangering other peoples health. I can promise you if I post a notice on our site or door that states you will be tested before being permitted to the parties I will be locking the second oldest party in the country within a week. I am not new to this, I am not relaying on what I am hearing or reading on the Internet. I am going by 30 years of experience both in the Porn Business and dealing with Swingers. With the number of people that come into our parties each week there would be no possible way of testing them. The regulars maybe, the 300 to 400 tourists? No way.

I am not arguing with you that the idea is a good one in theory, but in reality it just won't happen. When the government steps in and makes it mandatory as was done in the Porn Industry in California, clubs will be closing before the ink is dry on the law.

Swingers are not going to permit "others" to demand tests of them or have access to those tests.

The problem in this country today is that everyone wants someone else to cover their ass. People today will not be personally responsible for their own actions and safety. This really all comes down to EVERYONE being personally responsible for their self and the safety of those they interact with.

I don't want the government to tell me to be responsible, I can do that myself. If the government goes that far they are going to stop all swingers parties anyway. They have their own way of fixing things, testing won't be there way of doing it.
