A stagehand working for a gay pornography company has sued his employers in San Francisco Superior Court, alleging he was forced to inject performers with a controlled drug to prolong their erections.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed Friday, Ronald Baker of San Francisco claims he suffered emotional distress and anxiety-induced health problems when he accidentally pierced his finger in January after injecting a performer in the penis with TriMix, a prescription medication . . .

Your post might offend some, uh, members here.

Appropriate organs need to look hard into this matter.

I’m surprised they don’t throw HGH in there too.

If they’re shooting up with this as frequently as it sounds, I suspect somebody’s equipment is eventually going to fail from scar tissue. But, at the rate antibiotic resistance is going, MRSA, gonorrhea, not to mention AIDS, the supporting infrastructure might be more of a concern than that.

That was my first thought. Mind you if I had that job I’d invoke my right to refuse unsafe work.

What is a stagehand doing with a hypodermic needle injecting actors’ penisses?

What other things do stagehands in the pornographic industry do? Get pizza?

Those members will get a stiff rebuke.

“What is a stagehand doing with a hypodermic needle injecting actors’ penisses?”

Hmmm - I guess this drug is the last resort for the stageHAND.

actors’ penisses?

Grammar police here: plural of 'penis' is 'penises', no room for two eses in penises! (Or if the word is Latin, then it would be 'penisi'?)

Sorry to be a dick, but in such matters I don’t peter out!

LMAO!!!

I think the word would be “peni”.

Shouldn’t the stagehand be wearing latex gloves while holding the, um, patient, still in order to make the injection? If so, it would be more difficult, although certainly not impossible, to inject oneself accidentally. And, if he did, wouldn’t such an accident be his own fault or is he claiming that he was subjected to unsafe working conditions?

[Revolting cat!]

Thanks. Ouch!

If there's one thing that a porn company knows about, it's penis injections.

Latex gloves wouldn’t do a thing to protect against needle-sticks - believe me, I’ve worn enough of them.

[SunkenCiv]

LOL!

SF, penis injections, somehow it all fits, or s/b “fits”.

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

If you inject that stuff into a lawyer would they get taller?

If my friend the mortician hadn’t died yesterday I’d ask her to verify that.

She did tell me that one could be embalmed “up” or “down”...
