    Default ANOTHER HIV+ Halt to SoCal Porn Productions ...

    from


    (snip)An immediate and indefinite moratorium has been placed on all porn filming after another performer may have tested positive for HIV.

    .“There was a positive test at one of our testing centers. Confirmatory tests are not yet back, but we are taking every precaution to protect performers and to determine if there’s been any threat to the performer pool,” said Diane Duke, chief executive of the Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult film industry. “We take the health of our performers very seriously and felt that it was better to err on the side of caution.”

    This is the third such voluntary moratorium announced in the last year prompted by HIV concerns.

    Last summer, the Free Speech Coalition called a weeklong filming stoppage after an actress who goes by the screen name Cameron Bay tested positive for HIV. Her boyfriend, adult film actor Rod Daily, later announced that he had also tested positive

    A second moratorium was put in place after a third performer tested positive. Filming resumed in September, with new protocols that required performers to be tested every 14 days rather than every 28.

    The industry group has vigorously opposed a county law passed in 2012 that mandates condom use by porn actors.

    Porn filming in Los Angeles has plummeted 90 percent since then, according to recent data released by Film L.A. Inc., the nonprofit that handles film permits for the city and county.

    A similar proposal pending in the state Legislature was shelved earlier this month(snip)


    The likely important take-away from this news story is that SoCal based porn productions ... which have been the 'heart' of the porn industry for several decades ... are now one step away from 'extinction'. Between controversy over the local LA county 'must use condoms' law, serious attempts to enact a similar law state-wide throughout California, and the degree to which HIV is present in the local 'talent pool', SoCal porn producers have seen the 'handwriting on the wall'.

    Since the LA county 'must use condoms' law was passed, much former SoCal based porn production has already shifted to other areas of the USA ... notably Florida ... as well as some other states. This latest industry-wide halt to SoCal porn productions, in combination with the serious attempts to enact a state-wide 'must use condoms' law, in combination with California 'nexus' laws which attempt to tax the out-of-state earnings of California based companies, is likely to represent the 'last straw' for what remains of the SoCal based Porn industry.

    Central Texas is another huge porn market. Many producers from SoCal had found tons of performers in the area: from Waco, all the way down to the Hill country/Austin area.

    ^^^ True enough about central Texas. Florida has 'always' had a presence of competing porn producers, as has the metro NYC area to some degree. But the recent growth of porn production in Texas, as well as in other southwestern states, is arguably the direct result of cutbacks / relocations of California porn productions.

    They should use condoms. I know they are worried that porn addicts will be turned off somehow if the woman doesn't get splattered.

    (Mostly what I like to see/hear is a woman cumming.)

    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.
