Los Angeles ?Safer Sex in Adult Films? Working Group Submits Enforcement Plan to City Administrator, Media

CANOGA PARK, Calif. ? Free Speech Coalition (FSC) today received a copy of the 47-page report outlining recommendations for enforcement of the mandatory condom ordinance for adult productions.

?In a time when multiple California cities are going bankrupt, LA itself has a significant budgetary problem and city services are being cut drastically, I find it unconscionable that the City would create a new bureaucracy to monitor condoms on adult film performers,? said FSC Executive Director Diane Duke. ?What?s even more ridiculous is that there hasn?t been a transmission of HIV on an adult set?nationwide?in over eight years.?

The report, which is extensive, was developed from information supplied by the ?Safer Sex in Adult Films? Working Group, which was made up of representatives from various local governmental agencies, including film permitting bureau Film LA, the Los Angeles Fire Department, LAPD, L.A. County Public Health (LACPH) Department, City Attorney?s office, County attorneys, and Cal-OSHA, among others.

The report outlines suggestions for components of an enforcement plan for the ordinance. Recommendations by the working group included:

· Compliance with current state regulations for blood-borne pathogens exposure, which includes use of condoms and other barrier protection (eye protection, gloves and dental dams).
· Requiring either a Fire Marshal or licensed healthcare professional to be present on adult production sets to confirm and verify compliance with a signed affidavit.
· For the City of Los Angeles to initiate an RFP process, to accept bids on outside agencies that would provide inspection personnel.
· Additional fees for film permitting (anywhere from $2,500 to $3,500 each), to cover the cost of inspectors.
· Producer must provide company staff with health & safety training and education specific to blood-borne pathogen regulations.

While the report has been sent to the City Administrator?s office in time for yesterday?s deadline for submission, it could be it will be sent for further revision once the City Administrator and City Council have reviewed it.

Currently, an initiative requiring condoms to be used in adult productions will appear on the November Los Angeles County ballot. If passed, it would require a revision of City enforcement protocols to accommodate enforcement throughout all of Los Angeles County.

FSC, the adult industry business alliance, has led the opposition to the adult film condom mandate and will continue to represent the best interests of its members and adult industry businesses.

What I find ridiculous is that she pretends no one has caught gonorrhea, chlamydia, HPV, herpes, now syphilis, and I've even heard there have been a few hush-hush cases of Hep C that have happened not too long ago. You guys need to get your heads out of your asses and stop pretending HIV is the only issue at hand. Some people may fall for such a PR spin, but the State of California know better. So does anyone who actually gets their hands dirty in the business.

SYPHILIS? Syphilis! Who in the fuck gets syphilis in this day and age?! Did one of you build a time machine and rawdog an ancient Greek prostitute? Did you go back and buttfuck Henry VIII in 1564? And who gives a shit about gonorrhea, chlamydia or syphilis anyway, these are things that a WW2 sailor would laugh off after a quick shot of penicillin. These are things they made funny posters about in World War 2 ? she may LOOK clean, private, but Rosie?s got a surprise. And dudes fucked Rosie anyway and then their dick hurt and they got a shot and it was over. And they laughed about it. That's like trying to scare someone with a fucking ear infection.

But anyway - condoms in porn. No fucking way, ever, for even one second, obviously. I have never once jerked off to the thought of fucking a girl with a condom, and this is over thousands and thousands of lifetime jerks to every other conceivable sexual scenario on the planet. Maybe to a condom BREAKING in a chick and giving her the grievous unwanted creampie, but that?s it. You can have a condom in a porn if it breaks and she cries. Otherwise, if I see even one INSTANT of condom I am ?changing the channel? like my own grandmother popped up taking it in the ass from Lexington Steele. Of course my lack of patronage has no net effect on the LA porn industry because I never watch their porn to begin with, but now no one else is gonna watch that shit either. No one likes condoms. I?d rather personally die of AIDS a thousand times over than have to jerk off to condom porn even once.

So, the hell with this ridiculous shit. It?ll probably just push the industry out of LA, right? They?ll go somewhere else and continue having unprotected sex and not getting AIDS... ever. And there will be 500 abandoned warehouses in Chatsworth now that will get taken over by gangs straight out of "The Warriors" that will rape you and your family and give you AIDS. That?s what?s gonna happen.

Sounds like they are going to be on the set and charging a shitload of money to be sure the performers are using proper safety equipment.....more than just condoms.

With $2,500 to $3,500 on the table for the inspectors to be present on set, I wouldn't be surprised that AHF submits a bid to be the new "Condom Police" after this ordinance getting passed by the City Council and on the November LA County Ballot.

Good luck with that. All it's going to do is push most production underground, which is ironic because that's where it all started in the first place. Underground and controlled by the mob is where it started, and underground and controlled by Manwin is where it will end. That's coming full circle right there.

I remember hearing somewhere that the original ordinance didn't apply to you if you were shooting in a real studio.

Has that changed?
