LA wants mandatory condom use in porns. I wouldn't care one way, or the other, but I suppose it certainly wouldn't hurt.

A ballot initiative that would require condoms in all adult films shot in the city of Los Angeles has enough signatures to get on the June ballot. But there’s a legal challenge coming from the city’s attorney before LA residents can vote on the matter.

The proposed law called the “Safer Sex In The Adult Film Industry Act” would require “any person or entity directly engaged in the creation of adult films who is issued a permit” to “maintain engineering and work practice controls, including the provision of and required use of condoms, sufficient to protect employees from exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials consistent with state law.”

So who wants that code enforcement gig?

Why the hell should the voters have any say in that?

Socialized medicine! Government mandate!

Loose screws everywhere you look out there.

Is there a stiff penalty for failure to comply?

Damn, Bareback Mountain II isn't getting made, I guess.

This is bull****. I am 100 percent against this.

Not that I watch porn or anything, of course ...

 

[HanSenSE]

Don't even want to ask if there's an interest penalty for early withdraw ...

Why the hell should the voters have any say in that?

Because it's California and they vote on everything.

Dude, if you're making porn now, or any time after the late 80s, early 90s, and you DIDN'T demand condoms, then you're a terrible person with no regards for your own life.
My god.

No one wants to watch porn with condoms. It's like forcing all action movies to include a disclaimer that "Remember folks, this is just a movie. Please don't shoot anyone" everytime someone gets shot at on screen.

 

[imjustagirl]

Not the same thing at all.

Because it's California and they vote on everything.

Then the losing side always gets some Federal judge to overturn it.

I bet I know who supports this ballot measure the most:

The Ventura County Chamber of Commerce; once this becomes law, look for all the pornmakers to pack up their productions and drive up the 101 about 30 miles from Reseda to Camarillo and go bareback again.

Porn studios will make a great addition to the Camarillo Outlet Mall.

Exactly. It makes it...tacky? If the people in the porn aren't worried about it, then surely I'm not.

 

[imjustagirl]

My point was that they should be worried about it.

Instead of being called the "Safer Sex In The Adult Film Industry Act," shouldn't it be called the "Anti Transmission Measure"?
