Porn stars have begged the government not to force them to wear a condom during s*x as it would turn many people off.
Porn stars will not be forced to wear condoms after persuading lawmakers to vote against a law making it compulsory.
Actors, directors and producers of raunchy flicks told the health
standards board that laws making contraception in porn a legal
requirement would force them to make films no one would want to watch.
They said it could also drive the industry underground – leading porn stars to ignore other health and safety standards, like regular 14
day STI check ups.
Siouxsie Q, a porn actress who spoke at the hearing, said: “I know you guys work really hard and have our best interests at stake, but we need you to work with us to find a solution.
“When you criminalise sex work in any way, you make it more dangerous.”
But the Californian board couldn’t get up enough votes to force adult video stars into wearing a Johnnie.
It comes despite protest groups and pressures from other people in the industry who said it could increase the risk of HIV.
The AIDS healthcare foundation have long argued that condoms must be compulsory for actors.
Campaigners want the government to force prostitutes to always use condom during intercourse
It even managed to make sexual protection compulsory in Los Angeles.
Californian officials will now try to pound out a new deal for alternative ways of keeping porn actors safe in the sex industry.
