A thread is currently running on www.adultdvdtalk.com in which Julia Ann is to have made a statement that in Vegas this past January not only did she have her tits grabbed and ass pinched but that the girls in the industry need heightened security at shows.

Julia Ann Posts a follow up: Hi everyone, It’s Julia Ann. I want to clarify my statements. I’ve been signing at these shows since 1993 and when I started the attendance wasn’t nearly what it is now. In fact, back then we didn’t need a hall of our own for the show, we were simply pushed to the back of the CES convention. I thank you all for noticing what I noticed this year. Yes there is a different level of enthusiasm, but under no circumstances do I give the smallest amount of blame to the girls in the industry that care to do more than I do with the fans.

I support them whole heartedly to have their butts and tits grabbed to their limits. That being said I think that the cluster fuck that I experienced this year was in part due to a population that has had the porn industry shoved in their face so quickly by a mainstream marked hoping to get a share of us, that they haven’t had a chance to except what they feel about not only my sexuality but their very own as well. In my humble opinion, one person experiencing that kind of sexual conflict is hard enough, now try 30,000 people feeling it in a four day period. The collective energy was overwhelming.

We have taught them to see us, buy us and experience us, but not respect us. How can they? They haven’t been taught to accept their own sexuality how can we expect them to respect ours? Growing pain are just that, painful. In many ways sex is feared today as so was race not to long ago. When a population is thrown into a rapid change in philosophy it can take time for it’s views to change. We as porn actors are representative of that change. I love the fans and love signings, anyone who knows me knows that, but the space I’ve been referring to is simple to make the booths better designed to handle longer lines. I would like to be able to focus on one fan at a time, instead of being pulled in four different directions. It’s hard and unfair to everyone the way it is now. Again I don’t blame the girls who do more. Each individual patron needs to take responsibilities for his or her actions.

Christian Mann posts: Now that so much promotional material labels them as whores/sluts or the more endearing “cum-buckets” or “cock-sockets”, should we be surprised that fans believe they get to cop-a-feel while posing for that shot?

The internet has also given the consumer an unprecedented intimacy with the performers. Why would he think that his favorite slut who advertises her services on scores of escort sites and performs triple-penetrations on screen should be freaked out because he grabbed her ass?

We have given the fans a mixed message.”
