Some major propositions were on the ballot across the fifty nifty yesterday. Our resident weed guy Shibby detailed this morning which states made it kosher to smoke that good good. I don’t know who the resident porn guy is, so I’ll take it upon myself to relay the good news. Most porn is shot in California, and there was a question on the ballot of whether or not to make it illegal to not wear condoms while shooting porn.
Welp, fans of the raw dog, fear not. Calmer heads prevailed.
Porn actors in California have escaped being forced to wear condoms after voters narrowly defeated a proposed new law governing the adult film industry.
Voters in the state, which is the capital of the porn industry, struck down the ballot measure by 54 per cent to 46 per cent.
If Proposition 60 had been passed, actors could have been subjected to criminal charges for not wearing protection on screen.
Actors said they had a right to their own bodies and wanted condoms to be optional rather than a legal requirement.
Also of note, current laws require actors to be STD-tested every two weeks; the new law would have only made it a requirement for testing every three months.
I’m all in favor of more testing, less condom wearing. Nothing ruins a solid scene more than the guy wearing a condom. It ruins the realism because, lesbi honest, it’s 2016. Nobody wears condoms anymore. At least that’s what I’ll tell future bedfellows (what? Lightning can strike twice) when they want me to wear a rubber. “Hey babe, if Lexington Steele doesn’t have to wear one, Boston Max doesn’t have to either.”.
