Should We Force Porn Actors To Wear Condoms By Law?

[Sallow]

Bad stuff happens.

But testing is probably the way to go.

 

[Sherry]

Is it a stupid idea? Why? Is there some "right to die of an STI" I haven't heard of?

yeah, we are still a free Country, and if they don't or won't PROTECT themselves, than yeah, they have a "right to die of a STI. good grief.

Ain't it a public health hazard for porn actors to portray sex acts without condoms for audiences of (presumably) impressionable young adults?

How would that work with oral sex??

Why not testing + condoms? HIV tests are not instantaneous, yanno.

 

[Sallow]

I don't think we should force anyone to do anything. We should simply not participate in bad behavior and thus drive it out of business.

Stop watching pornography and we don't have to worry about this. Not only that you dont have to worry about the corruption that happens in your own life.

If you don't think it effects you, just remember that corporations will spend millions of dollars on 30 second advertisements in order to convince you to buy their products. You honestly think that hours upon hours of pornography in your life doesn't effect you?

Same with violence. It eats at your mind and your heart.

Well, Avatar, the redeeming social value of porn (if any) is a fun discussion I wouldn't mind having with you. But fact is, the industry exists, young American adults are getting killed by it and I am curious why no one else here apparently thinks that saving their lives is worth a modicum of titillation.

Killed?

Really?

Not sure..but it might be interesting to compare the number of people "killed" in porn flicks as "killed" in action flicks.

The nature of the performance doesn't it lend itself to condoms.

What's "yanno"?

Oh for crying out loud, what do you think a PARENT is for.

I'm guessing here, Stephanie...but I kinda sorta doubt the porn actors have their Mommies and Daddies with them on set.

okey dokey, I believe you know what I was talking about when you said, Impressionable young adults audience, but you want to play, have at it.

You can perform fellatio on a man with a condom on, Sherry. And men can perform cunnilingus on females using a female condom and/or a dental dam. I think part of the problem -- for all of us -- is that these things are viewed as major buzzkillers. One reason the law might be a good idea is that if porn sexualized condoms, mebbe more people would use them.

 

[Stephanie]

Maybe we should just have the NANNY Guberment OUTLAW SEX. then the problem would be solved.

O, sorry.

Do you have kids, Stephanie? It is harder than hell to shape the sex lives of a young adult, as a parent. I couldn't even get mine to wear a helmet whilst riding her bike. They do what their peers do...or what they believe their peers do.

I'm still at a loss why almost all of those who are against prostitution aren't against porn. Pay for sex off camera? Illegal. Pay for sex on camera? Legal.

Exactly, which is why it's not going to happen.

Why is it so unreasonable to require porn actors to use condoms? I'm just not getting the "holy shit that's way too extreme for me" thingie. What's so extreme about safe sex?

Sex workers know how to make condoms sexy. They have to -- or they don't live long. If porn can make a UPS delivery sexy, it can make condoms sexy.

Whether or not professional porn actors are required to wear them, it won't matter much because of the amount of amateur porn on the internet.

Ain't that the truth? Seems like every suburban couple and politican thinks they're "Behind The Green Door" material.

I have no fucking clue what powers up that particular kink.

Two of the porn industry's biggest companies have stopped production following the news that an actor has tested positive for HIV. Yesterday's revelation sent the industry—which eschews the use of condoms on porn sets—into a tizzy, as it attempts to track down the people who may have worked with the actor, whose name and gender have not been released, reports the AP.

Because we should never force anyone to do anything.

Government needs to stay OUT of the bedroom.(even if it is a set)

 

[NYcarbineer]

Bad idea.

Condoms have a tendency to profoundly alter the trajectory of the money shot, in a manner that is fatally detrimental to its aesthetic value.
