In Latin America, the pornography industry production is somewhat limited. Yet pornography is abundant, especially pirate DVDs from the USA and Europe, which are present in the streets of most capitals in Latin America . Brazil is perhaps the only country that openly produces porn movies, but with mandatory use of condoms. In addition, in the last 10-15 years numerous American and European actors such as Rocco Siffredi, Nacho Vidal and John Stagliano among others have visited Brazil to produce movies there. Brazil is also a well known market for gay and transsexual pornography. Allegedly, African American actor Darren James contracted H.I.V. after shooting a scene in Brazil with actress Bianca Biaggi who had unprotected sex with a transsexual actor in an American film. Most American productions are shot without condoms.
Other countries commonly visited by American companies involve Colombia and Mexico. Several other movies were produced by the European company Private in Costa Rica in the 1990’s. The American companies Anabolic and Diabolic produced several Latin based series such as Panochitas which included trips to places such as the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, and even Chile.
Due to being more conservative, in the Catholic countries of Latin America, most of the actresses in the movies are prostitutes from the streets. Most of the Latina actresses in porno movies in the U.S. are born in the U.S., yet a few are born in Latin America, but grew up in the U.S.; for example Olivia del Rio,, who is Brazilian, Alexis Amore, who is Peruvian, are among others.
