Condoms in porn would be required under plan
LOS ANGELES - Condoms might be the only thing porn actors are required to wear if the state's workplace safety board approves a petition mandating their use.

In a hearing Thursday, the California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board will hear testimony from the Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation. The advocacy group filed a petition in December to require condoms be used in porn.

The advocacy group wants the same sort of workplace protections in place for nurses and doctors to be extended to porn, to protect actors from sexually-transmitted diseases like HIV.

By law, U.S. adult film actors must prove they have tested negative for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases within 30 days of going to work on a film.

10. porn with condoms is like

scraping a bowl for the last few resin hits.

It's lame, and unpleasant .............but still gets the job done.

4. But how are the women going to get them over their double-stuffed oreos?
I notice it didn't say WHERE the condoms had to be worn.

8. Then the porn industry will move away from California....
...which one can only hope will change it for the better even if it is only to reduce the ridiculous amount of blondes.

15. It has already moved away
When Internet porn first began, the kids in Chatsworth would have nothing to do with us, so we made our own. Film and print porn are entirely different entities than Internet porn.

I doubt the requirement will become regulation but I support the effort nonetheless.

14. Could help stimulate a whole new industry: porn music soundtracks
For example:

"Condom"
(sung to the tune "Convoy")

'Cause we got a little condom
Rockin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a little condom,
Ain't it a beautiful sight?
Come on and grab a condom
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
We gonna roll this fuckin' condom
'Cross the U-S-A.
Condom!


The possibilities are staggering...

20. Pretty much the norm in gay porn. Been that way since the 80s.
There's a few condomless films made, but they're usually from Europe, where the HIV rates are lower.

You straight guys will get used to it... besides, your not supposed to be looking at the guy's stuff anyhow!:evilgrin:
