Los Angeles, the home and center of the porn industry and also the origin of the term “going bareback” during sex now has a law that requires all sex acts in adult films to use condoms.
The ruling, courtesy of a Tuesday decision from the LA City Council, comes after AIDS activists and safety advocates pressured the city into tightening regulations within the adult film industry. Performers in California are already required to be regularly tested for sexual diseases and produce paperwork before each shoot. Citing an outrageous lack of concern for the public’s health, however, opponents said that that wasn’t enough and have now made their voices heard among the City Council.
The decision was set to be one for the public to make, with a ballot measure scheduled to appear later this year on the same day as the California primary. Instead the City Council has nixed the notion of that question even going up for public debate and adopted the legislation from within.
The ordinance, the City of Los Angeles Safer Sex In The Adult Film Industry Act, will require pornography produced in Los Angeles to only boast scenes in which the male performers are protected with a condom. Inarguably the area is the largest North American producer of porn. With this decision, massive changes are expected to affect not just the production and audience of the films. Others are worried that the backlash could create a tremendous blow to the state’s economy. Furthermore, some still are concerned that the regulations will drive porn outside of sanctioned production houses and will increase an underbelly of unrestricted sex acts caught on film and made and bought on the black market.
It’s clearly a problem because it’s common knowledge that all porn watchers really only enjoy porn as a way to witness the biology that is “STI Transfer.”
Putting laws on pornography is like putting laws on drug dealers; there is really not much incentive to report or pursue the companies because no one wants to admit that they watched it. What will probably start happening is films will all just be dated before the law goes into effect or there will be an upsurge of “Amateur” porn where producers just claim it was a home sex tape. Maybe if you offer a reward for each report it would work and the AIDS activist headquarters would be surged daily by men dick-in-hand and pants around ankles to nark on the porn they just watched.
You’ll soon see the “Valley” is going to shift to Orange County, which only means one thing: a LOT more chinks and wet backs taking our porno jobs that we all so desperately want.
Update: Ron Jeremy shared on the subject:
“Performers don’t mind wearing rubbers, but viewers don’t want to see it. It ruins the fantasy,” Jeremy said Wednesday.
“This will force production to leave Los Angeles, and that’s really what the supporters want,” he claimed.
He also claims he’s completely disease free after appearing in more than a thousand films.
“What will they require next, dental dams and latex gloves? They call it a dental dam because damn if I’d wear one. How do you create an adult film plot, or any kind of fantasy, with stuff like that?” the 58-year-old scoffed.
Ron Jeremy has been in thousands of films?
I think my stomach just turned over.
