Code of Conduct

I am a strong supporter of the freedom we as individuals in the Western world have and greatly appreciate the support of so many alliances and non profit organizations that go way out of their way to ensure all of our well being in the future.

One such organization, BPAV (yes I’ve mentioned them before), is an amazing self regulating body helps studios, big and small to make and uphold quality guidelines when it comes to shooting porn. Here is a look at BPAV mission:

• Disclosure of Acts
  Producers must fully inform performers in advance of the nature of any shoot, specifying explicitly who they will be working with and the types of acts they will be performing.
• Care in Types of Acts
  BPAV commends producers who take proactive steps to protect performers’ health and safety on the set and to ensure performers are treated respectfully.
• Respect of Performers
  Adult performers are the backbone of the adult entertainment industry. BPAV believes in the professional treatment of all performers on and off the set.
• Performer Responsibility
  BPAV believes that it is the responsibility of performers to take all measures necessary (in personal life and profession) to protect themselves and their fellow performers from sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, responsible producers should only cast performers with proof of current AIM (or equivalent) tests.
• Proof of Age
  Producers must be diligent to ensure that all performers are of legal age.

Again I greatly support this organization.  We have already since 2006 placed all their logos on our published DVDs and will continue to do so in order to show support for the organization and its mission.
