    The measure, adopted 9-1, next goes to the mayor for his signature. Before it can take effect, however, the City Council has ordered police officials, the city attorney and others to hold meetings to figure out how it might be enforced.


    The council's second and final vote to approve the law was taken without public discussion on a day when most of the porn industry's major players were in Las Vegas preparing for Wednesday's opening of the Adult Entertainment Expo, their industry's largest trade event.
    Several industry officials condemned the move as being an unneeded exercise in political correctness that cannot be enforced.


    "The only thing that the city could potentially achieve is losing some film permit money and driving some productions away, but you can't actually compel an industry to create a product that the market doesn't want," said Christian Mann, general manager of Evil Angel Productions, one of the industry's biggest makers of porn films.
    Like others in the business, he said large numbers of consumers, especially overseas, consistently refuse to buy films in which condoms are used.

    Although I personally think condoms should always be used on a porn set, I am really reluctant to side with any law telling consenting adults what they can and cannot do with their own bodies. So in that regard, I think this law is out of line.

    I understand that some people believe that porn should be a fantasy, and that most fantasies do not include condoms. If everyone on the set is educated, tested, and consents to doing a scene without condoms, I suppose that is their prerogative. However, I do believe that everyone should be given the option to use condoms.

    Hmm interesting. I agree with the right to choose but I feel that pressure may be applied to not work with those that do wear condoms vs those that don't. In other words limiting the income of males and or females that desire taking extra measures of protection. Testing can be done but I feel perhaps all tests may not pick up a recent infection thus increasing the chance that said infection could be spread to others in the industry. If they make it mandatory then no one will feel that they cannot work because they don't want to do bareback scenes.

    There's a small issue... For example:

    * Girl gets tested on Friday
    * Same girl goes to a bar and screws someone she just met without a condom in Saturday, getting HIV in the process...
    * Same girl shoots on Sunday, bareback anal with every actor on the set, she infects the other actors who screw her that day.
    * Same girl gets test results and they turn to be clean in Monday morning.

    See why this condom requirement is not that much of a bad idea?

    Either way, it doesn't matter 'cause the porn companies can just relocate to Vegas.

    Yeah it takes months for antibodies to show up for a positive HIV test result, and in the meantime it's available to be spread around. I think it makes sense.

    If condoms were standard in films, consumers would simply have to adapt - and they will. I never understood why it was such a big deal, considering porn stars catch STDs all the time despite monthly testing.

    I was watching an interview with porn star Pinky, who uses condoms in all her movies. She never saw a decrease in sales.

    http://youtu.be/Qb58C__QBc0 She talks about going condom only.

    http://youtu.be/5foDEuJhf0c She talks about catching an STD when she first entered the industry



    People still buy cigarettes here in NY, despite they are now 10-12 bucks a pack. Consumer adaptation!
    It's not about what you do for a living, it's about who you want to be.

    ^ On a tangent, I've wondered why more escorts/sugar babies don't have stricter condom rules. It seems like even a BJ would be pretty risky (yeah, yeah, condom + BJ is not much fun, but still)...

    It's bad enough to catch something from a "monogamous" partner, but when it's a business arrangement with a probable sex-industry connoisseur, it sounds paranoia-inducing.

    If condoms were standard in films, consumers would simply have to adapt - and they will.
    As long as adult productions from other US states and from foreign countries play to 'world market' demand ( i.e. forget about condoms ), LA based adult producers will be trapped between an economic 'rock and a hard place' if they attempt to remain in LA and if they attempt to market 'safe sex' based product that the 'world market' does NOT want to buy ! Of course, there will probably be some lobbying group that will push for the California state legislature to pass 'safe sex only' laws regarding the legal sale of adult content in California in order to 'protect' the California adult industry.
