When people are sexually active, there are always risks. But, many people don't want to discuss it. That is one of my favorite things about being in the adult film industry. We are all very open, and discuss the issues openly, and honestly. There are never any secrets, and the players will tell you if they have an STD.

I had discovered that many people don't want to tell you if they have an STD. And with genital warts, sometimes they don't know. So, in the adult industry, we focus on prevention. We do our best to take care of our bodies.

Genital warts are caused by the Human Papillomavirus, or HPV for short. HPV is one of the most commonly sexually transmitted diseases, and if left untreated, it can be very serious. It can cause cervical cancer in women later in life. Both men and women can catch it, and it can go dormant, but, the virus still could be living in the body. This is what makes it so easily transmitted, because you might not have any signs, but, it can still be passed on.

Of course, I always try to go naturally. However, there is a rumor in the adult industry that nonoxynal 9 helps prevent viruses. Nonoxynol 9 is the main ingredient in spermicide creams. But, it can also be found in lubricants, and some condoms. Many performers use heavy amounts of this when they are doing a scene to help prevent viruses. But, I don't recommend this if it's not necessary. Nonoxynol 9 is a chemical, and chemicals over time can be harsh on the body.

If you have already contracted genital warts, or you think you may have contracted it, it's best to go as naturally as you can. Eating raw garlic, onions, and shitake mushrooms has been said to help boost the immune system. A friend of mine had gotten genital warts, and this is what he did. It is best to start from the inside of the body and work your way out. The warts on the outside are a symptom, but, the virus is in the body.

The outside symptoms can be taken care of by diluting tea tree oil in olive oil and applying it directly to the warts. This can help them to go away quickly. But, here is the thing that you should absolutely check out!! Homeopathics work great, and they are natural and effective.
