Condoms in Porn now required in L.A. county

truesay- watching bareback makes me wanna do that shit even though i don't out of aidsophobia. plus i know its way softer smoother and feels better generally. condom sex is good if done right though
 
That's not good for porn- I don't find it sexy at all - it's aaall about barebacking- and that will just make people go outside LA county to make porn (which is good, vice region).

THat's propaganda though, and heavyhandedness of the interfering lawmakers AGAIN - teaching people to use the un-natural habit of using condoms (instead of teaching them to control their desires, have more loving sex, and make wiser decisions with their sexlives).

From another way of looking at it, it is good, more people will watch less porn, as I KNOW I am not the only one who flicks through a nice scene - very hot - but doesn't fave it because it has people wearing condoms in it.

On a psychological level it's mostly good - it will fuel people to stop watching shit porn, and use their imaginations more, wank less, have better, more loving sex, and generally have more energy and happiness coz of it.

I know however that making laws like this is wrong - you're right, more people will wear more condoms as a result, big whoop for the condom industry and for government because they're tightening their population control noose - but it's just another case of people telling other people what to do instead of showing them how to do it - impinging on people's personal freedoms instead of proper education - we're not basic mammals like dogs, we don't need commands.

Generally the good outweighs the bad though.
 
I think the bean counters in the porn industry saw the revenue differences between bareback and condom porn a long time ago; this won't make a whit of difference, not if the market demands it.
 
This isn't a bad idea. I wish their were more/better ways to find out if people had STDs before having sex with them. You know, not have to wait a week or so before finding out. (And in that week, that person could have had sex with someone and gotten a disease anyway.) That way, there wouldn't have to be anything to worry about.
Yeah, porn without condoms is obviously sexier. But it's real life and most people wear condoms anyway. Well, I don't know that as a fact, but people SHOULD be wearing condoms.

But, that being said, what if there are two people in a monogamous relationship? And they make amateur porn together? What if she's on birth control and they're tested, exclusive, etc. so they never use condoms while having sex. But, when they are filming themselves, they have to wear a condom?

And what if a couple films themselves having sex (without condoms) just for themselves to see?
 
here is the issue.... porn is about fantasy... and people dont fantasize about doing all that sexy time stuff with condomns on....
it loses a lot of the appeal

Hahaha this is funny. No one SHOULD wear condoms. People should learn to control themselves from giving into their desires so easily, and use their judgements more, their intuition.

Saying people should wear condoms is ridiculous. We can throw up any justification for them, but really they're not necessary in this life at all - they're a means of not taking proper control over our sex lives, and their use is just a symptom of people not taking real control over our whole lives - they're a quick fix, and we all know quick fixes don't work - using them means we are reliant on something external for satisfying our basic human desires.

So, you think sex should be saved for marriage, and only used when two people want to have a child?
Not that there is anything wrong with that, I'm just quite surprised, as that is not the norm. Especially not on a drug site, in the "sex, love, relationship" forum. But each person is welcome to their own opinion.

I still stand by what I say - I think most everyone should wear condoms. I'm in a monogamous relationship and we still wear condoms to protect ourselves from pregnancy. I don't see anything wrong with having sex as long as you're careful about it (birth control, condoms, etc.). How does not using a condom indicate someone has more control over their sex lives and their whole lives entirely? I would see it the opposite way. Using condoms means you have MORE control as you are less likely to contract disease and get pregnant.
 
I don't understand what you mean B1tO?
Unless as llama suggested you're implying that people just shouldn't have sex unless they're trying to have a child (which is a perfectly fine opinion) I'm quite lost as to what your point is. Regardless of pregnancy even, condoms are the only birth control method that'll protect you from STDs.
The only times the guy I was with didn't wear a condom is because we were in a monogamous relationship (and trusted that it really was), had both been tested and I was on the pill. Otherwise I wouldn't consider it.

Anyway this is good news, but I wonder how popular this porn with condoms will be? It's good to sensitize audiences and stuff but I agree people will probably enjoy it less...
 
I mean that simply relying on condoms takes away your learning curve in how to trust people - instead of learning how not to carelessly give in to your impulses and stop listening to your intuition/gut instinct, by catching benign STDs or whatever (chances are you are not going to catch HIV or anything serious, and if you did, then you obviously made a really bad decision in who you slept with, and you kinda deserve what you got), you're putting something on your dick/your fella's dick, that basically means you don't trust anyone.

Instead of using your brain to work out if someone is trustworthy, along with your instinct, you're not thinking at all - so you use protection.

An analogy for this would be if you took someone in off the street when they knocked on your door, asking for bread, and you immediately said "yes that's fine" before looking at them, "but only if you're alright with me holding a gun pointed at you the whole time". It's quite an extreme example, but then so is the decision to forego rational thinking, and not trusting your gut instinct.

If you only stopped to look at the person, and listened to what they had to say, you'd work out quite quickly by their demeanor if they fucked around a lot, and that should throw up red flags...which people don't listen to. If you don't listen to red flags, you deserve what you get, how else are you supposed to experience life, in not by trial and error? Otherwise you are just living through other people, and that's not truly living.

Where did you get that about only when married, Llama? That's quite off the mark from what I said...that's also a ridiculous fearfilled decision anyone makes, unless they're truly not that interested in sex.

When you rely on something external, like a condom, or a gun, or a locked door, or a government - you only have yourself to blame if something goes wrong, but you feel justified to blame someone else, whereas if you look into how to act, and who to trust, how not to get a girl pregnant without using buzzkills like condoms, then you will be just as well prepared for a good healthy living sex life, even if you did contract chlamydia or herpes along the way - it's all part of the learning curve what you recieve, because you've given out a certain amount of a certain kind of energy.

You will have more knowledge, your awareness will be heightened, whereas if you rely on condoms, you have no real awareness, just an excuse, and reliant on something external to yourself.
 
The main goal was to prevent STD out-breaks in the porn industry. I live 5 minutes away from where allllllllll the porn in filmed.What I wonder though, isn't it still possible to contract HIV with a condom? This is going to send business out of state, and the porn industry fuels a lot of California revenue. I personally thought it was a bad move, and I really don't think Condoms in porn are going to put into peoples heads they need to wear condoms.

Measure B Passes: Condoms In Porn In LA County Will Now Be Mandated On Set

This is great news. Not only for the actors but for the psychology of the viewers. People want to try out what they see in porn films. I speculate this will result in more condom use in the general population.

So, anyone want to start a pool on when this silly law will be struck down as unconstitutional?

Regardless of pregnancy even, condoms are the only birth control method that'll protect you from STDs.

Aside from knowing your partners, that is.

No it wasn't. The goal is to drive porn production out of L.A. County. If viewers wanted to see condom-wearing porn, they'd watch it already. They might even ask for it.

They don't. You know why?

Well obviously. I'm talking about cases other than a trusting relationship where both people have gotten tested.

B1tO I dunno, I think you're oversimplifying. There's absolutely no way to know what a random hookup may or may not have short of going to get tested together (which would kind of defeat the purpose). You can't judge whether or not someone has an STD just by looking at them....even if you're able to tell 'who sleeps around a lot' (which seems a bit unlikely), someone who doesn't could perfectly well have one anyway. So better safe than sorry no?
I'd really rather use a condom than get herpes and see it as 'part of the learning curve' quite frankly :\

If only there was a way that you could magically "tell" if someone had an STD by just knowing them. But the truth is - you can't. No matter how responsible someone is, they could still have an STD. Maybe it was a mistake from when they were younger. Maybe they are lying. Maybe they don't even know they have an STD. Maybe it was passed down from birth.

Yeah, getting to know someone before having sex can weed out some people who have STDs but it isn't going to guarantee you will never have an STD.

I also don't see anything wrong with one night stands. What's wrong with having sex for pleasure? Use a condom, be on birth control, stay safe. Obviously if your gut feeling tells you that someone has an STD, or whatever you have learned from this "learning curve", then don't have sex with that person. But why not be safe rather than just risk it?

the only thing you can do is go to the clinic and get tested together... something i have done ... but not all the tests come back instantly obviously
