Once they strap on the new rule and take it for a ride, they'll come around and suck up the changes.

Probably a bad idea that's going to bite them in the ass. How hard could it possibly be to move a `porn studio' to another city? It's like, what a couple cameras and whatever house they're filming in?

Yes, drive a profitable industry out of your town/state in the midst of a recession. Brilliant move.

They should just make the homo porn actors wear condoms, since homos are the ones spreading AIDS around.

So in a girl-girl scene, who wears the condom? Or is this just going to ban lesbian porn completely (unless they use a strap-on, I guess).

Most porn is shot in the Valley which is--surprise!--actually Los Angeles. The porn industry is actually pretty good about self-regulating when it comes to HIV awareness, all things considered, which isn't surprising given that they're the ones who die if they DON'T police themselves. But just as much porn is shot in Ventura, Santa Barbara, etc., so yeah, an LA law won't affect them.
Why do I know all this stuff? It's complicated.

I'd rather fap to pictures of Newt Gingrich than fark a hot chick while wearing a condom. It's not that I'm particularly opposed to wearing a condom. I just happen to think that Newt is a very sexy man.

If it can encourage people to use condoms, this kind of thing can be a catalyst at lowering the STD infection rates.

Do you have proof that it can't encourage condom use?
It seems the very fact that condom use is legitimized as sexy would encourage it.

Oh, there's plenty of it done there.
But for some reason, the San Fernando Valley is the big location for porn production. I've never heard exactly why; my best guess is that everyone gets off their regular studio jobs in Burbank & heads over to the Valley afterwards because it's faster than fighting traffic into Downtown. Have a drink, buy some coke, shoot a porn...sounds like a typical post-production assistant's evening.

Yes, it really is better to be safe. Dudes need to nut up, and get with the condom program. If seeing a condom makes you lose your erection, the problem is you, not your physical erection and not the visual signal of condom. I swear, people are the cause of their own sexual dysfunctions. Biatches need to nut up, too, and always demand that the dick be covered. When you don't demand a condom, you are sending a signal that you want to be pregnant -- and you want him to do the impregnating. There is no 'he won't fk me if I tell him to use a condom', and there is no 'it feels better without a condom'. Nut up, and take responsibility for your actions -- and the consequences.
Have fun with sex. Safe is fun. STDs and aborted kids, not fun.

It was, for a while. Money talks, though. Way I heard it, dumbass Americans prefer condomless porn. Porn ain't about social responsibility. It's about money. So you go with the money.

Actors should have to test, likely all ready do.
If clean, why cover?
the threat of STD's is way overblown, in my experience
you can tell a lot just by looking at what you lick an f*ck
never had one, never known anyone who had
other than rare acquaintance gay's and black's
covered ? why even bother ?
not sex

This, this, this.
Porns in which the actors wear condoms do not sell as well as condomless porn. After all, porn is about fantasy -- condoms aren't in anyone's sex fantasies.
If this passes, 99% of the area's porn production will move elsewhere. If we make it a state of national law, it will move out of state or out of the country.

I can't decide if you two are serious, so here.
Wikipedia article on female condoms
(new window)
Quite frankly I cant figure out how having sex with a nitrile bag can be fun or sexy. I understand the reasoning behind the creation of the product, I can appreciate the need for an effective means for women to deal with pregnancy prevention and protection from STDs, and I can understand the limiting factors in creating an effective design. But none of that stops it from looking like some sort of joke or changes the fact that the product on the market is essentially a big bag that a woman (or potentially man) shoves up inside themselves and then has somebody stick their penis in it.

i keep telling AIDS-prevention activists that until they create a strong lobby for the design and manufacture of condoms that feel BETTER than raw sex, they r whistling in the wind.
condoms suck, in every present version, and no amount of finger-wagging, sanctimonious sis-boom-bah can change that. these stupid pseudo-socialists really do think they can change human nature with Newspeak. a couple of years ago i went to a "Raw Sex" forum at GMHC in NYC, and an "activist" actually had the psychotic gall to get up and ask the audience "how did we, as a community, somehow convince ourselves that so-called 'bareback sex' is in any way NATURAL?"...i was stunned that a man with the intelligence to string those words together could be so utterly stupid as to string those words together in a public forum.
i guffawed out loud, as did others. "the human nervous system did that for us", i replied.
u wanna piss off one of these hall-monitors? remind them in public of how badly condoms suck. the douchebag in the video, Michael Weinstein, also happens to be a major opponent of the newest, condom-free method of HIV-prevention, called PrEP. Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis is is the term for giving HIV- individuals at hi-risk for HIV a partial cocktail of HIV drugs (Truvada, usually). evidence has proven that IF THEY ACTUALLY TAKE THE DRUG CONSISTENTLY, it greatly lowers the chance of infection.
Weinstein and others rightfully fear that people will prefer that over using condoms.
these fools need to redesign the product (condoms) so that it makes sex not only "safer", but also "hotter". condoms r simply not hot, period. several decades into the AIDS epidemic, it's time to acknowledge that and address it effectively.

fail. human sexuality is an end-product of eons of evolution...condoms r the novel product, and improving their design, manufacture and availability is a far easier, more practical and less offensive solution than trying to change human sexuality.

I had some douche outside Ralph's in NoHo try to get me to sign the petition to get this on the ballot. Probably the most idiotic person I've ever talked to. He was trying to say that California, as well as Amsterdam have the highest AIDS rates in the world, close to 70%. I asked about sub-Saharan Africa, and he says, "Yeah, Africa is pretty high too, like California and Amsterdam." I talked to him for a few more minutes, astonished by his stupidity. Then I said I wasn't registered, and left.

Those people are hired just to get as many signatures as they can get; they're generally not out there because they're passionate about the issue (though I'm sure anyone who wanted to volunteer would be welcomed). Not saying this guy wasn't an idiot, but just wanted to throw that in.
