State, County May Require Condoms in Adult Films

After almost a year of urging the adult-film industry to require actors to wear condoms during sex scenes, state and county officials say the recent HIV (news - web sites) infection of two porn stars has given them the leverage they need to force change.

State and Los Angeles County health officials said Monday they believed existing regulations gave them the authority to require adult-film actors to use condoms, and the state Division of Occupational Health and Safety plans to begin inspections this week, marking the first time Cal/OSHA has investigated the adult-film industry.

Industry lawyers dispute the agency's legal authority, and some industry officials say pornographic movie production would move out of state if condom use were required.

Although a few California adult-film producers have voluntarily switched to condom-only productions, the majority of producers and distributors have balked at doing so. It is conventional wisdom within the multibillion-dollar industry — which employs more than 6,000 people in California, including about 1,200 performers — that using a condom doesn't pay.

"It's market forces," said Mark Kulkis, president of Kick Ass Pictures, a production company based in downtown Los Angeles that specializes in fetish films. "The bottom line is, customers don't like [to see] condoms."

He likened adult-film performers to Hollywood stuntmen and women.

"When you see an action movie and you see the hero jumping out the window, you don't want to see the wires holding him up," Kulkis said. "Nobody wants to see condoms. It's a fantasy."

Until last week's HIV outbreak, which spurred a temporary industrywide production shutdown, only two of 200 adult-film production companies in Southern California were condoms-only, industry insiders said. About 17% of the performers use a condom regularly.

David Joseph, president of Red Light District, a Chatsworth-based production company that specializes in hard-core, "gonzo" films that do not use condoms, was one of several representatives of production companies who said that if the state required condom use by sex actors, they would leave California. Other industry insiders predicted that filming would move underground.

But state and county officials say condom use is an important health and workplace issue.

How long would this requirement last? And, what would the punishment be if the rule was broken?

They can only regulate production, not distribution. If they really did pass rules them production of gonzo would move. It would not affect consumers much.

More tellingly, the Brazil shoots that infected Darren would probably not be open to CA regulation, and if CA tried to assert authority because Evasive Angels is a CA corporation (if it is) then T.T. simply incorporates in Nevada (or Delaware, just like most companies).

Don't think it matters where he incorporates, if they can establish you "do business" in CA, you're subject.

I dont know about anyone else but I can tell you this......
JM Productions will never use condoms!
