The government has every right and responsibility to regulate workplace safety. The question is are they even doing that here. What if a mandatory condom policy leads to a more lax STD testing policing in the porn industry? It could do more harm than good. Very few cases of HIV have happened in the last few decades in the industry, this probably is just unecessary.
To be honest, I don't think this is going to hurt the porn industry (at least not when it comes to viewers). The vagina is blocking most of the dick so its not like the condom is censoring it in some form.
These adverts are fails; why the hell would i wan't to join a muslim dating site, what exacly makes them think that? Why the hell would i want cheap calls to Afghanistan?
@EYAccount lol. I get those all the time too! I think most of the time ads are connected to the types of videos you watch...but I dont really watch any pro muslim videos, so I'm confused.
I can't have sex without a condom I won't last long :( these woman a warm sauce tht crumbles me an then the ones that high note as u go deeper wow. But with a condom on I'm stronger 15 minutes at minimum at Least 3 position changes also.....
@Gr4yW0rld If the only porn available had condoms, then people would still watch it. But if they have the option of watching stuff without condoms, that is what they will likely go for. It doesnt make much of a difference during intercourse, but alot of people are fond of "cum shots", "facials", etc....Wow, never in my life, did I picture myself having this argument.
Sorry TYT, but I totally disagree with you on this. This isn't about the business anymore. It's about stopping an epidemic from spreading. You do realize that HIV is a dirty secret in the porn industry, right?
If the porn industry believes that people will stop watching porn because it doesn't "fulfill their fantasies", then these people are a bunch of idiots.
porn is all about wtchng what you cant have,so take out out the facials ,headjobs and creampies and then wts the point lol back to the boring gf sex it is again
Embarrassingly enough, I did sign the petition for this in LA. At the time, I got all my info from the guy passing out the petition--who only presented the pros; not the cons. If I'd know what I know now, however, I never would have signed it.
Nobody cares what the porn stars are wearing, and it probably isn't a case of wanting the porn industry to produce better role models... There's a money angle somewhere in this. Are the county fees going to be in the thousands of dollars?
Maybe I'm just crazy or maybe the gay porn industry is more health conscious, but most to almost all of the porn I have encountered in my life has featured condom use. If you for some reason have a desire to see unprotected pornography, then you have to search for that specifically, but condoms are the default. Is straight porn really that different? If so, why? What do straight guys care about the penises in a porn film?
I don't watch porn with condoms in them.They really do gross me out.They feel gross they smell gross they make your man jawn smell gross and they make sex feel less better.I have to look up and breathe threw my mouth while my girl friend puts them on for me. I don't like condoms.
As a retired woodsman before Viagra was released, condoms we tried with the best of intentions. First off, it's extremely difficult to perform with them, both for males (viagra fixes, but then you have the long terms effects from abuse), and especially for females, because for it created many internal problems.
Secondly, and more importantly, condom film sales couldn't hold a candle to non-condom sales. People buy porn to fantasize, not to watch reality.
It's about time. I mean I never understood why straight porn never has condoms, but most gay porn was practically forced into using condoms almost 30 years ago. I don't see a problem with it at all.

People don't realize that the County of Los Angeles has a total area that is larger than some states......L.A. County also has a population that is larger than ALOT of states.
"Shutting down the porn industry" (for lack of a better term), will demonstrably increase the already epidemic unemployment problem that L.A. is currently facing...
Besides, how do you calculate unemployment benefits of an out of work porn star?
By the inch?..By the Boobage?..By the least amount of gag reflex?..
Good intentions behind the law, but come on. You can film this shit anywhere. Most idiots who are really into porn are for some reason turned off my condom use in porn films. So all they have to do is move to another county, state or even country. It's not expensive to do so. All you need is a couple of freaky people who are hard up for some cash and a camera. So say goodbye to the porn industry LA.
It appears that the city is gambling that the Porn industry will pay them more money to make the condom issue go away. In the end I agree with Cenk, and I think this is a bad idea.
This is the same argument that Republicans use against basic regulations for American companies. They also complain that making work conditions safe, having a minimum wage, and so forth will drive companies over seas where they can avoid such regulations. I think the porn industry needs more regulations to help protect the safety and rights of the actors. If condoms are that much of a turn-off, why not use flesh colored condoms? That could be a solution
I know someone from Los Angeles he is thick as two short planks and spends his time on insult chatrooms. Explains a lot as to why he acts like a child
Liberalism does not excuse unsafe and unhealthy immorality. People will blame rape and disease on Liberalism if we aren't careful. Us Liberals can not advertise sexual education for kids to protect them from disease and then complain when pornstars are made to wear condoms to prevent unwanted pregnancies and the spreading of STD's. TYT, you really let me down on this one. Lead by example, and wise up.
TYT, I think ya'll are wrong on this issue. Every industry has safety measures protecting employees from work-related injuries. If you're at a facility with heavy machinery, OSHA requires all employees to ear hearing protection. If you work with infectious agents in a laboratory, federal guidelines require you to protect yourself with. All of these safety precautions are expensive. With porn, STDs are a work-related health hazard. I see no reason as to why this ban is not reasonable.
guys i agree with the state this time. it may not look as appealing on screen but if u look at the statistics of std and hiv contracted by porn actors through each others because they are not allowed to use protection on set, your views will be different, at least i hope
How dangerous is riding a motorcycle? Driving in a car? sky diving? Inhaling bus fumes? If any of those activities have a higher percentage of injury/death should we really be that far down on the list of priorities that we are focusing on the porn industry?
@siyrean Not sure how you know that, but thank you for enlightening us. That does seem to be a problem, but I don't think mandating condom use will help.
Great, yet another industry to be driven out of LA due to over-regulation, taxes, and fees. Fine job legislators, fine job... you guys really know how to respond to an economic crisis... I'm a Californian and I can recognize that this is certainly yet another example of the state (or city in this case) paving its own path in the dead wrong direction. Meanwhile, the real issues will be ignored, like our infrastructure falling apart or our massive state deficit.
Let's keep it real, as Cenk does... porn sucks dick (pun intended) with condoms. It doesn't look spontaneous or casual. It just seems more planned out and prepared, and that's not how sex should be. The pro-condom porn stars will never comprehend this.
TYT has an underlying assumption that's wrong. Public policy should always be meant for helping the economy? No, it should just reflect the public's will, and that is, hopefully, that sex should be safe and work has to meet good health standards.
Cenk again show his fundamental market conservatism by claiming the 'market' can be 'right' about things. It can't, because it's an a-moral mecanism.
@Ollie9402 Section 5193.1 Sexually transmitted infections in the adult entertainment industry
(1)This section applies to all occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens and
other sexually transmitted infections in the adult entertainment industry, as
defined below.
performers actually engage in any activity that may result in exposure of the eyes, skin, mouth, anus, vagina, or other mucous membranes to the blood or OPIM—STI of another person if protective measures are not in place.
@siyrean“OPIM—STI” means pre-ejaculate, ejaculate, semen, vaginal secretions, fecal matter and rectal secretions, secretions from wounds or sores that are potentially infected with sexually transmitted pathogens, any other bodily fluid when visibly contaminated with blood or all bodily fluids in situations where it is difficult or impossible to differentiate between bodily fluids
I havent watched this yet but this is what I want to know. How are they defining L.A.? Are they including Van Nuys, Ontario, Long Beach, or any of the other metro cities? How will they enforce it? Who will tell them where it was shot? Why does the government tell people what they can and cant do with their own body? Lets see how many answers I get from the video
@SUPATRUKA I think the law just focuses on Los Angeles County. I forget all the different cities located in the county, but if you Wikipedia it, it's all specified in detail.
If the market wants unsafe sex, why don't we just nationalize the industry? Of course TYT are total capitalists who won't actually consider real alternatives...
@Ollie9402 I don't know if TYT would be against nationalization of porn, and it doesn't matter. The government and the public at large would never go for it. That makes it anything but a real alternative.
@Brewhahh if they shoot the condomless sex film in los angeles county, and actually "sell" their film as a "legitimate product"....then the answer is yes. however, if they shoot the film and just keep the footage for their own enjoyment or give it away for free...then the answer is no.
the porn industry has it's own regulations to handle std's, actors/actresses are tested very regularly, they don't need people who don't know about their business to stick their noes in it. and what about come shots? or oral? are dental dams now required? do girls have to wear protective eye gear?
@siyrean Don't be stupid. Getting cum in your eyes isn't the same as getting aids from penetration. They get tested only once a month. Plenty of time to get diseases and pass them on.
One of my grad school colleagues had connections to the film industry (Vinny Marino, who did Porn Stars Are People Too for ABC Radio) and said condom use in porn was pretty common, anyway.
@xXConnorMacDonaldXx Lets see what you say when they tell you what position you can fuck in. It'll happen watch. The problem is over regulation. The market/people should decide something like this not the bureaucrats. Most regulation of corporations is done in favor of the corps. not the people, thats the problem. Its also why the porn industry has to pay a fee for it. Can you say revenue generation, I knew you could.
I wonder how actual porn workers feel about this. Do THEY feel safer when condoms are used ? Some must....I do feel that a law has to be put in place to protect them...maybe not a condom law, but a law that would require all the workers to get tested for STDs immediately before each shoot or something ? If that's even possible... Maybe something like this is already in place ? No idea...
What a fascist law. Why stop at porn? Why not just say all people engaging in sex must wear condoms. What about lesbian porn? Do they wear female condoms? What about jerk off flicks? Condoms for solo Stan too?
Idiotic and unpractical. I believe safe sex is undoubtably better, but keep the government out of your pants
@fitystairfun The government shouldn't arbitrarily restrict people's freedoms (that's what an autharitarian state does), but job safety regulations aren't arbitrary.
Porn films in France use condoms all the time. Is it a problem ? No ! On the contrary : we see less dicks and more pussies. And they can remove it at the end for the money shot. The only niche market that they lose is creampies. Sad but not a disaster !
And that's a hell of a good choice for the performers' health. If the business moves, that's because there will be other asshole cities that don't act in favor of peoples' health.
@nickst0ne dude, you dont see less dicks, you still see the same number of dicks only wrapped in latex. i support the use of condoms anyway possible but i hell as dont support government trying to get into our pants.
@72dew : government doesn't get into our pants. This is a professional activity. Government enforces laws so that employers don't put employees (and contractors alike) at risk. It's very similar to other jobs where people have to wear protection goggles, gloves and hardened shoes... they can do without gear when they're at home and hurt themselves all they want, but at work they have to wear protection.
@ZAGGNUT1 the big wigs running the porn industry are afraid they'll lose millions, possibly billions if they are forced to shoot every scene with the use of condoms. the personal health of their employees aren't a priority to them. they care about the bottom line. if someone tests positive for HIV they'll just shut down the industry for a few days until they track down who the source is. they think its a cheaper solution than to lose millions because lots of ppl wont buy porn unless its raw sex
@ZAGGNUT1 : I don't know everything and I don't know if they screen porn actors. But definitely screening is not enough (I guess screening should be used in conjunction with condoms). I saw some interview, I think it was Sasha Grey... She already had a few infections through her job.
@rvolk86 : Yes, I am being serious. If you disagree with any part of what I said, you're more than welcome to point out which one and explain the reasons why you disagree.
The government has every right and responsibility to regulate workplace safety. The question is are they even doing that here. What if a mandatory condom policy leads to a more lax STD testing policing in the porn industry? It could do more harm than good. Very few cases of HIV have happened in the last few decades in the industry, this probably is just unecessary.

People don't realize that the County of Los Angeles has a total area that is larger than some states......L.A. County also has a population that is larger than ALOT of states.
"Shutting down the porn industry" (for lack of a better term), will demonstrably increase the already epidemic unemployment problem that L.A. is currently facing...
Besides, how do you calculate unemployment benefits of an out of work porn star?
By the inch?..By the Boobage?..By the least amount of gag reflex?..

Good intentions behind the law, but come on. You can film this shit anywhere. Most idiots who are really into porn are for some reason turned off my condom use in porn films. So all they have to do is move to another county, state or even country. It's not expensive to do so. All you need is a couple of freaky people who are hard up for some cash and a camera. So say goodbye to the porn industry LA.

This is the same argument that Republicans use against basic regulations for American companies. They also complain that making work conditions safe, having a minimum wage, and so forth will drive companies over seas where they can avoid such regulations. I think the porn industry needs more regulations to help protect the safety and rights of the actors. If condoms are that much of a turn-off, why not use flesh colored condoms? That could be a solution

Liberalism does not excuse unsafe and unhealthy immorality. People will blame rape and disease on Liberalism if we aren't careful. Us Liberals can not advertise sexual education for kids to protect them from disease and then complain when pornstars are made to wear condoms to prevent unwanted pregnancies and the spreading of STD's. TYT, you really let me down on this one. Lead by example, and wise up.
doublecrosserfm 1 month ago in playlist Uploaded videos
TYT, I think ya'll are wrong on this issue. Every industry has safety measures protecting employees from work-related injuries. If you're at a facility with heavy machinery, OSHA requires all employees to ear hearing protection. If you work with infectious agents in a laboratory, federal guidelines require you to protect yourself with. All of these safety precautions are expensive. With porn, STDs are a work-related health hazard. I see no reason as to why this ban is not reasonable.

Great, yet another industry to be driven out of LA due to over-regulation, taxes, and fees. Fine job legislators, fine job... you guys really know how to respond to an economic crisis... I'm a Californian and I can recognize that this is certainly yet another example of the state (or city in this case) paving its own path in the dead wrong direction. Meanwhile, the real issues will be ignored, like our infrastructure falling apart or our massive state deficit.

Let's keep it real, as Cenk does... porn sucks dick (pun intended) with condoms. It doesn't look spontaneous or casual. It just seems more planned out and prepared, and that's not how sex should be. The pro-condom porn stars will never comprehend this.

TYT has an underlying assumption that's wrong. Public policy should always be meant for helping the economy? No, it should just reflect the public's will, and that is, hopefully, that sex should be safe and work has to meet good health standards.
Cenk again show his fundamental market conservatism by claiming the 'market' can be 'right' about things. It can't, because it's an a-moral mecanism.

(1)This section applies to all occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens and
other sexually transmitted infections in the adult entertainment industry, as
defined below.
performers actually engage in any activity that may result in exposure of the eyes, skin, mouth, anus, vagina, or other mucous membranes to the blood or OPIM—STI of another person if protective measures are not in place.

@siyrean“OPIM—STI” means pre-ejaculate, ejaculate, semen, vaginal secretions, fecal matter and rectal secretions, secretions from wounds or sores that are potentially infected with sexually transmitted pathogens, any other bodily fluid when visibly contaminated with blood or all bodily fluids in situations where it is difficult or impossible to differentiate between bodily fluids

I wonder how actual porn workers feel about this. Do THEY feel safer when condoms are used ? Some must....I do feel that a law has to be put in place to protect them...maybe not a condom law, but a law that would require all the workers to get tested for STDs immediately before each shoot or something ? If that's even possible... Maybe something like this is already in place ? No idea...

Porn films in France use condoms all the time. Is it a problem ? No ! On the contrary : we see less dicks and more pussies. And they can remove it at the end for the money shot. The only niche market that they lose is creampies. Sad but not a disaster !
And that's a hell of a good choice for the performers' health. If the business moves, that's because there will be other asshole cities that don't act in favor of peoples' health.

@72dew : government doesn't get into our pants. This is a professional activity. Government enforces laws so that employers don't put employees (and contractors alike) at risk. It's very similar to other jobs where people have to wear protection goggles, gloves and hardened shoes... they can do without gear when they're at home and hurt themselves all they want, but at work they have to wear protection.

@ZAGGNUT1 the big wigs running the porn industry are afraid they'll lose millions, possibly billions if they are forced to shoot every scene with the use of condoms. the personal health of their employees aren't a priority to them. they care about the bottom line. if someone tests positive for HIV they'll just shut down the industry for a few days until they track down who the source is. they think its a cheaper solution than to lose millions because lots of ppl wont buy porn unless its raw sex

@ZAGGNUT1 : I don't know everything and I don't know if they screen porn actors. But definitely screening is not enough (I guess screening should be used in conjunction with condoms). I saw some interview, I think it was Sasha Grey... She already had a few infections through her job.
