One adult performer, Siri Dahl, took to Twitter immediately after the ruling, writing, “Alright, AFAB porn performers: we’re all doubling our scene rates for creampie scenes, right?”
Following the overturning of Roe v Wade in June by the Supreme Court, turning decisions regarding abortion back to the states, female porn stars are changing the sexual acts that they engage in and increasing their prices for sexual acts that involve a man ejaculating inside them.
One adult performer, Siri Dahl, took to Twitter immediately after the ruling, writing, "Alright, AFAB porn performers: we’re all doubling our scene rates for creampie scenes, right?"
"Just saying, I’m sure a lot of republican dipshits like to watch it, and personally even if I do have an IUD I’m not gonna risk my life and health unless I get paid enough to fly across (or leave) the country for a safe and legal abortion," she continued.
According to Vice, Dahl, who lives in Kentucky, followed through with her promise, capping the number of scenes involving men ejaculating inside her, colloquially known as a "creampie."
Dahl is also considering more permanent options in preventing pregnancy: getting a tubal ligation, otherwise known as getting her tubes tied.
Speaking with Vice News, Dahl said, "The resources, the time, the emotional aspect—I don't want to be in a position like that. That’s why I’ve decided that, instead of just getting my IUD replaced with a new IUD, I am going to at least try to convince my doctor to give me a tubal ligation. For me, it is the only choice at this point."
Dahl’s actions echo similar ones carried out by female porn stars across the country, who worry about unwanted pregnancies as a result of their line of work.
"We have to maintain our bodies and we have to have autonomy over that. So it is frightening to know that this [abortion] is inaccessible to us," Janet Xmas told Vice, who works as a full-service escort as well as a dominatrix. "It's just constantly having to adapt to politics that are just aimed at trying to criminalize and destroy us."
Dominatrix Savannah Sly told Vice that "This is a lesson as to why the movement for sex workers' rights and protecting people in the sex trade is not a niche issue. Sex workers, like other canaries in the coal mine, help us see down the pipe."
Vice News stated that an unplanned pregnancy can be "disastrous" for female sex workers, and that "It could force a sex worker to change how they do their jobs or to stop working altogether. Many sex workers aren’t able to cover the heavy healthcare costs associated with pregnancy and giving birth."
