A man who used to work for a noted San Francisco adult film studio is now suing the porn purveyor's company for emotional distress and related health problems after pricking himself while injecting actors' penises with a hardening substance. Ronald Baker of San Francisco has filed suit against Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network (AEBN), a North Carolina-based company that owns local porn producers Raging Stallion where Baker worked as a stagehand.

Baker's complaint against his former employers are twofold. First, after letting AEBN know that he was worried that he might have contracted HIV after the worrisome needle prick, "his bosses told him they did not know what to do." Second, after finding out that the hot-yet-flaccid models did not have prescriptions for TriMix, the magic potion used to make their dicks rock hard, he refused to pump further injections for fear of violating state law.

"They are injecting a controlled substance into all these models without checking with a doctor if it's OK for that person to have that prescription medication, and they are using people on the set to give the shots," Stewart tells the Chronicle. "You have to be a nurse in the state of California to give an injection."

We should mention that the practice of injecting porn stars' penises with hardening substances — e.g., Caverject, et al. — long pre-dates Viagra. Which is to say, it's not at all an uncommon practice in the porn industry.

The traumatized former employee seeks unspecific damages for "wrongful termination, emotional distress and violations of labor and professional business codes."
