Porn performers in California would be required to use condoms in sex scenes if draft rules from state workplace safety officials advance out of the proposal phase.

Cal/OSHA has said they always believed porn performers fall under the same section of state workplace safety law that requires nurses to wear protective gear to spare them exposure to blood-borne and fluid-borne illnesses, but the law has never been made specific to porn sets.

The AIDS advocacy group has called for the use of condoms in porn, saying that actors were in unsafe situations and they glamorized risky sex for audiences.

Vivid Entertainment founder Steven Hirsch has said that such moves could force filming to leave California, causing a blow to the multi-billion porn industry that has many operations in the San Fernando Valley.

A California legislator has recently introduced a bill into cmte. that would raise the minimum age for a porn performer from 18 to 25. It is reported to have bi-partisan support.

This is very bad news. Most of those girls live such drug and booze-addled lives that they look 35 when they reach 25. 18-20 is prime porn age.

On the contrary, GF. This is one of those issues where the PC left teams with the holier-than-thou religious right, and the voices of reason are few and far in between.
