Individuals who “play for pay” may be required to slip on a “rubber” before they – um – penetrate their lovers, johns – whomever – on screen.
On Tuesday past, Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted 3-1 to green light a measure to go on the November ballot so that voters could decide on the sensitive (!) issue of compulsory condom use in the porn biz.
The novel action was triggered on the urging of Health Care Advocates who argue that it’s necessary to curb the spread of HIV infections.
Supporters of the proposed bill got the nod from City Officials after rustling up 370,000 signatures on a petition.
Michael Weinstein – the President of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation – applauded the Board’s decision.
“No one should contract an incurable disease as a routine part of going to work,” he stressed for the record.
Opponents are gearing up for a nasty legal battle.
Representatives for the Adult Film industry have pooh-poohed the ballot measure, for example.The “Porn Kings” argue that their sexy fleshy stars are tested regularly and that sexually transmitted diseases are linked to poverty, lack of insurance and education.
Others have boldly asserted that the proposed law would violate free speech (sex?) because the measure would require actors to don condoms if they did not want to.
Bottom line?
Most agree that such a law would simply drive the porn biz out of town.
Notwithstanding, the protective measure may be difficult to enforce, as well.
Just betcha, quite a few Officers would jump at the chance to sign up for the “Rubber Squad”.
There are some many fringe benefits, after all.
