L.A. Losing Porn Industry?

It seems like it. It should be no surprise when you attack an industry, that industry might just go elsewhere.

The stupid voters of Los Angeles County passed a law requiring actors to wear condoms while filming pornographic movies. This would put them at a great disadvantage as the vast majority of porn fans don't want that. As a result, permit applications to film porn in L.A. County have dropped to next to nothing. It's believed the porn producers are looking at moving out of L.A., which would be the common sense thing to do.

What gets me is it seems officials in neighboring jurisdictions seem to be balking at the thought of welcoming the industry.  And Californians think they're so enlightened? I say bring them up here. We could use the business.

Then we have a state legislator from Los Angeles introducing legislation to require condom use by porn actors statewide. The obvious intent being to make porn producers think they have nowhere else to go so they'll stay in Los Angeles. So typically Californian. That gal can't imagine them leaving the state.

We can only hope that legislation passes and the porn industry picks up and moves out of state. It would be priceless to hear state legislators try to explain that away and keep declaring the state really is business friendly.

As an aside, one comment I made to that L.A. Daily News article was, "Consenting adults have the right to engage in whatever sex acts they want, and however they please.". That comment got 51 Likes last I looked. More than I believe I've ever seen on Facebook comments made to newspaper stories.

Actually, I don't have much taste for porn much anymore and rarely, if ever, watch it. But, when I did, and if I do watch it now, I don't want to watch "safe sex". I certainly wouldn't pay for it, which is one of many reasons I'm totally in sympathy with the porn industry over this.

It's amazing how up in everyones business we have become as a nation besides most porn industries have a very strict HIV test regiment pretty soon it'll be illegal to have sex without a condom or license anyways I guess its only okay for X Disney stars to do porn now

I consider that one of the biggest problems in this country. People need to learn to leave each other alone.

Fred, true,

but leaving people alone is hard when government sets a poor example and voters are so naive, they vote for "not being left alone". Too many people living in America is "The Real Problem". Over-population. face it, don't deny it!

Then, the Justice System is screwing people over too. Face it, the whole house is on fire. - HOJ
