Porn Valley dodged a fucking bullet this week with the L.A. County health Nazis. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation and other groups have been lobbying hard to make the health department require porn performers to wear condoms.
This of course would be a disaster on many levels. First and foremost it would ruin the movies. I don’t need to see a safe sex PSA every time I feel like rubbing one out.
Secondly, I believe in freedom and the Constitution. Freedom is already in pretty short supply in the formerly great state of California. Leftists bureaucrats already tax and regulate pretty much every aspect of your life. You can barely take a piss in this state without the man taxing it by the liter.
People should have a right to fuck and/or fuck on film without a condom if they so choose. Mandating condoms would be an outrageous intrusion by the government and would spell the end of California.
California is dependant on the adult industry. The state is already bankrupt and a large chunk of tax revenue to the state comes from the adult industry. Forcing condom use would kill the industry and thus kill the tax revenue, which is why I was concerned but still skeptical the condom law would pass.
Fortunately, I was right. The Los Angeles County public health chief announced on Tuesday that he will not be requiring condoms in porn.
His reason was simple — it would be impossible to enforce. Hundreds of porn actors make hundreds of porn movies every day all over the San Fernando Valley and beyond.
“There are roughly 200 production companies with about 1,200 actors,” he said. “All you need is a room and a camera and a bed, basically, to do this kind of shoot, and we have no ability to police this.”
Fielding said that it would be difficult for public health officials to prove if the porn videos were shot in L.A. County or elsewhere, because producers often do not apply for filming licenses.
So for now this issue is dead. However, you can look for it to rear its ugly latex head once again if another porn actor catches AIDS.
