[Updated: Porn Producer Sues] Los Angeles Now Requiring Condoms?

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.
