L.A. County Says No To Mandatory Condoms In Porn Movies

condoms thumb L.A. County Says No To Mandatory Condoms In Porn Movies

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.

Male Performer Seth Dickens Talks About His Involvement In The AIDS Scare

June 30th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Porn News

As you’ve probably heard, there’s an AIDS scare sweeping through the adult industry right now. For the first time since 2005, a performer tested positive for HIV.

I don’t know who patient zero is, but AIM Health Care does and she’s been taken out of circulation along with everyone she worked with since testing positive.

The handful of people this bitch worked with are under quarantine until such time as they successfully test negative on three tests in a row — with 3 weeks in between each test I think.

Hopefully, no one besides patient zero was in infected, but it remains to be seen.

Anyway, one of the people under quarantine is male performer Seth Dickens. Dickens is a veteran of the industry and a hell of a nice guy I’m told.

He spoke to Gram Ponante about the situation in the hopes of squashing rumors and setting the record straight.

Here’s what he said:

I know everyone is scared with this HIV incident, and I know my name has been in the middle of this mess, so I would like to take a minute to tell my side of the story. Before I do, I want to say I love this industry, and I wouldn’t do anything to harm it.
I have been under quarantine since AIM informed me of patient zero status. I have honored this quarantine and will continue to honor it until released by AIM.

Thankfully, I have successfully gone through my second round of testing. This has been a very difficult and scary situation for me.

I worked with patient zero on May 20th. She had a valid AIM test that expired on May 29th. I also verified her test on line before shooting that day. I have tested negative for HIV in two series of tests on June 8th and also June 22nd. I will gladly and voluntarily remain on quarantine until receiving my next negative test results on July 6th just like everyone else in my situation.

I just want to be clear, I NEVER work unless I – and my partner – have a current valid AIM test. For anyone that thinks I am calling around to work as talent; that is not true. The truth is, I am working as a production manager in order to pay the bills; that’s why I call around.

I’m really sorry this happened to the industry, and I know it sucks, but it’s not my fault. I’ve always had a good name in this business, I would like to keep it that way. I am hoping this clarifies my involvement in this whole mess, because I have nothing to hide. I want to thank AIM for their help and I look forward to getting back to work. Thank you for your time and consideration.

-Seth Dickens

That’s got to be some scary shit to deal with. Obviously, we wish Seth all the best and hope he comes out of this thing alright.

As ugly as these periodic AIDS breakouts are, they’re actually pretty damn rare in the industry now.

The industry took it upon itself to institute a rigorous testing regime that all performers abide by. However, as with anything it’s not 100% perfect and every few years something like this happens.

The outbreak in 2005 was caused by male performer Darren James. He caught it in Brazil if I recall correctly.

It’s foolish for people to go overseas and fuck in countries that don’t have the kind of testing regimes that we do.

Another reckless and frankly disgusting behavior that porn producer Donny Long has been quite outspoken about is the issue of gay performers bringing their diseases into straight porn.

Since the gay industry doesn’t do AIDS testing, they should keep their diseases over there.

Unfortunately, many irresponsible directors think nothing of risking the lives of straight female talent by pairing them with gays and tranny fuckers.

The women in the industry need to take responsibility for their lives and refuse to work with gay dudes and/or tranny fuckers.

Say NO to tranny fuckers — is that really so hard?
