An AIDS group is demanding that porn studios in California enforce state workplace safety rules by requiring porn actors to wear condoms during the filming of porn movies. While they have a valid point in raising this as a legitimate health and safety issue, I just don't know how this is going to work out, or even if it is enforceable. Wouldn't it require a national law to be effective? Otherwise, it seems to me the studios could simply relocate to another state-probably Nevada. Possibly New Orleans, or any number of places.
One compromise could be to quarantine porn stars for a couple of months before filming, but that might even be more impractical. It could really turn into a messy situation.
According to Larry Flynt, most people just don't want to watch porn films where the actors put on condoms, and I see his point. After all, a major part of the appeal of porn movies is the rather greater than average physical endowments of a good many of the participants. To many porn fans, putting a condom on a huge cock would be the equivalent of putting a burkha over the Mona Lisa.
Of course, there are certain sexual activities where condoms would not be required, such as blow jobs, but even they are only good for so much in porn films, and then what's left? Dry humping? That would definitely have limited appeal.
Of course, the act of having your sex partner putting your condom on you would be a possible scenario, and up to a point it might be very effective to portray such an act in a porn film.
For example, say I'm a porn star. Say my co-star is someone who looks like Angelina Jolie. She sneaks into my apartment, because she wants me desperately. I can tell she's crazed with lust, because her husband has been neglecting her. I immediately become aroused and practically rip my pants off as she begins to slowly, seductively unclothe herself. My porno sized cock raises up to the heavens, the cum oozing out, and then she does it.
She takes it in her hands and strokes it gently, then harder, with more force, until she collapses to her knees and begs me to fuck her.
I say, "all right, but first please put this condom on me." She takes the condom and, stretching apart the open end folds it over the head of my dick and then unfolds it down over the length of the shaft, but she does this with brutally calculated slowness, jacking me off ferociously as she finally completes the task at hand.
Like I said, yes, that would make a fine film, but on the other hand, after a while it would get old, especially if every single male porn star from now on starts wearing condoms. It would lose it's freshness and newness, and porn fans would clamor for something else, something new and different.
But by God, for now it will do.
