Dominatrixes are not known for their softer side, but when January Seraph's porn star friend was diagnosed with cancer, she decided to help out.
The Sun reports that porn star Hollie Stevens is battling an aggressive form of breast cancer, so Seraph has started offering her clients an extra half-hour of her time if they'll donate an extra $50 to her pal.

"Cancer is something we all know someone fighting," Seraph told the Sun. "This is important to me to help someone in need."
The Daily Mail reports that Stevens developed cancer last spring. She's been through several rounds of chemo and she underwent a mastectomy to remove one of her breasts.
She has health insurance, which covers the treatment, but Seraph and others are raising funds to pay for daily expenses while Stevens can't work.

My question is does the Porn industry provide health, dental, life insurance, and retirement benefits for its actors and actresses? This is unsatisfactory at the highest level! Where's the ACLU and the American Cancer Society regarding this women's rights against the porn industry for the medical treatment needed.

Did you miss the sentence that says she has health insurance? The money being raised is for her daily expenses that need to be covered because she cannot work. Medical expenses are covered.
alwaystellitlikeitis: Did you miss the sentence that says she has health
No, of course they don't, because they don't have to. Porn actors are 1099 independent contractors. There are no benefits, no retirement plans. Hollie has health insurance through healthy san francisco (sf is a good place to be if you need medical coverage), and she had a savings, which has now been spent on things like rent and food, and just basic living expenses. I doubt the porn industry will ever provide those things to talent, but if you, or someone else comes up with a strategy to fight that fight, that has a chance of succeeding, I'm all for it.
Eric_Cash: No, of course they don't, because they don't have to.
I don't like to be hit, but if this is how people get their jollies, who am I to judge? As long as all parties involved are consenting adults, it's really no one else's business.
Not unionized and not all of the "models" are insured - many are just contract employees that have real jobs elsewhere. The featured artists are insured however. One of my good friends works for this very company. It is a very close knit community. Their work environment seems leaps and bounds better than many main stream office environments.

30% of all bankruptcies due to illness or injury are people who have health insurance! Heath insurance should do more than say "Wow, that treatment sounds expensive. In the interest of our shareholders, maybe you should die."

My son was told he needed surgery on a broken ankle after an accident. When they found out he had no health insurance, they put a cast on him and sent him out. In a country like this, what a horrible shame.

"You seem to be having trouble with grasping the point of my post. My argument wasn't that my donation was worth more..." Did YOU read YOUR post? Cause that's EXACTLY what you argued. That your Shrodinger's Penny was worth more. And you may want to segment your comments, but to me, its all one thought from one mind. Your subsequent comments are annexed to your original.
The very fact that you would even go out of your way to criticize the someone's beliefs and how they manifest in a way that the believer feels it would be helpful implies that you could do better. So why don't you? Oh, I'm addressing every syllable of your uninspired and ill conceived response, I have no problem grasping it or its source. You hide behind your little screen and snipe decent gestures with quips in an effort to make you feel better about yourself. You have nothing to offer the world but extra carbon.

Wow, I guess you have something against sexual freedom. She is actually doing a lot to help her friend, you just don't understand someone that is completely comfortable within their own body and sexual freedom because of your own insecurities about yourself.
