Your fave freaky flicks will continue to be rubber free ! California Lawmakers Reject Mandatory Condom Use In Adult Films Via Gawker reports: Adult films participants will continue to go raw for the foreseeable future — even as four performers tested positive for HIV in the last month — after California lawmakers rejected a bill that would make condom use mandatory during filming. The measure, AB 640, would have required performers state-wide to wear condoms while filming sex scenes, and mandated that producers provide medical testing and training. In the last month, t hree performers have publicly announced their positive HIV test results , and an unidentified fourth performer reportedly came forward with a positive test to an advocacy group last week. While a moratorium remains in effect, many in the industry say that requiring condoms on set would be ineffective and would harm California’s economy. It is unclear whether the performers contracted the disease on- or off-set. Opponents of condom porn point to the fact that two of the performers were reportedly dating.

Wrap It Up: Hustler Films Fined $14K For Not Demanding Condom Use During Porno Shoots

When penetrating the various orifices of multiple people in a single afternoon, please remember, safety first. LOS ANGELES – California workplace safety officials have fined Larry Flynt’s Hustler Video and another porn producer for not using condoms on set to protect sex performers from exposure to disease. Hustler faces $14,175 in fines for three violations, including failure to provide condoms or other protective equipment, according to a Division of Occupational Safety and Health citation provided to The Associated Press Wednesday. Hustler “failed to ensure the use of appropriate personal protective equipment, such as condoms” to protect its employees from semen, vaginal excretions and blood in the course of producing adult videos, according to the citation. The current fines are based on the same section of state law that also requires hospitals to provide nurses with protective gear to spare them exposure to blood-borne and fluid-borne illnesses. Flynt has said in the past that audiences don’t want to watch porn in which actors use condoms. Hustler was also fined for failing to maintain a written injury and illness policies and for failing to provide workers with vaccines for hepatitis C. Hustler’s citation stems from a Sept. 14 inspection of a jobs site in response to a complaint from the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that advocates for safe sex in pornography. Not the we watch a lot of porn, but we’re seen far more films WITHOUT condoms than WITH. Why aren’t these other companies being fined?? In any event, wear one. It will probably save your life, or at least you bank account. Source
