Hm then they will just move out of LA and it's everything ok, right? Or they will just say they didn't shoot the indoor porn in LA..? :)

I personally don't like watching porn where a pussy is fucked using a condom :)

Post one. TIA

Anyone who expected anything else was dreaming while on acid.

Because if you produce the gonzo genre it equals to about a 40% to 50% more sales. Feature films the impact is minimal.

its 56,5-43,5 now at 74% of the votes, maybe the final difference will be even smaller but hard to change the end result, probably it will be 54-46 at the end if it continues with the same rythm(was almost 70-30 in the start....)

sucks to be so close, i am sure if the industry had come together more and act a bit faster, we would have easily avoid it :(

Its not the end of porn of course but a sad day for sure....

Instead of becoming more socially accepted and open more markets for our work/products, we keep being regulated from others on our behalf...

Me neither. But I watch censored Japanese porn with no problem.

+1 :2 cents: :pimp

Cause and effect. :2 cents:

They will come to nearest states and shoot there. That's all. :2 cents:

That or just ignore it.

I find it hard to believe California of all places has the money to enforce this. The state is completely broke. At best maybe a couple of the large targets may get a visit or two, but the funds are not there to keep it going.

Good ol Cali. Spend $20 to save $10. Do they somehow think this is going to stem the rising tide of STD's in the gen pop?

I watch a fair amount of Japanese porn with condoms. As the guy pulls out he slips it off and still gets the cumshot to the face/body/mouth. Will something like that be illegal in LA county now?

Good question. I'd guess they can not exchange fluids, which would probably also rule out kissing and 65 guy bukkake scenes.

All of the above probably.

As for the one's that comply.. it'll be easy to spot their product in the future.

Does this mean blowjobs with a condom

1,171,287 YES 55.85%
925,782 NO 44.15%

100% of votes

Yeah, that sounds like something that'll really sell :1orglaugh

Porn will move out of LA County. Simple as that.


.

Sad day for los angeles gonzo producing pornographers but it is opportunity for pornographers in other parts of your nation.

But having said that,
Porn should always be an underground industry. Because the moment it becomes mainstream..The money earned becomes garbarge due to too many people looking for a share of the profits and then there is the problem with regulations, etc.

This condom law might turn out to be good thing for the United States porn industry. Du to it maybe start driving the business back underground.

:2 cents:

And assholes, cheaters, scammers, and thieves are dealt with appropriately, which is with baseball bats.

Obviously it passed.

People don't care about "pornographers" and think they are assholes... so any campaign like those I saw by "pornographers" was little more than telling people "do the opposite of what we say and want because as you know, we are asshole... OH! and P.S. Oprah Winfrey, Steve Hirsch has an offer for you to do a bukkake scene" - That's all people read. You are a bunch of dickheads with zero credibility in the eyes of the public. You are scum. You are predators and you are losers. To the public, you are still just a bunch of pimps with gold teeth, unbuttoned shirts, hairy chests preying on runaway teens. Every fucking idiot that got behind the idea to make an appeal on behalf of the industry should be fired from their jobs immediately.

Then there was the fact that there was no single, simple message. "Hope and Change" etc. It was a bunch of unbelievable and nonsensical scare tactics showing people in biohazard suits and direct appeals to consumers (people who could care less) with random, inconsistent messages. Really dipshits? Basic marketing 101. You need a single, simple, clear message that not only resonates with and appeals to the customer but that is instantly credible and believable. You all failed miserably in that department, being the fragmented, individualist, antisocial group of shits that you are. What a shocker.

The issue at hand is simple.

Safety.

You will not win an argument against safety unless you can prove the proposed measure "for" is dangerous. End of story. This is how it works in the real world. This is why we have warnings on hair dryers not to use them while standing in the shower. Get it? There is no argument against warning people and only arguments for, hence the warning.

This business is so full of ineptitude and stupidity, that its difficult at times to even decide where to begin in pointing it out.

One a final note... Uhm.... really? You honestly think that there should be no rules and regulations regarding the spread of contagious and deadly disease in the work place? What fucking planet are you living on where you don't see the government eventually getting involved? Testing is extremely flawed. In what other industry does this happen where safety issues aren't regulated? You can't cook in a kitchen without a hair net... but it should be ok to run around spraying HIV, Hepatitis and everything else all over each others faces? There is no word that describes how retarded you are to think thats how it should be. In fact, a new word will need to be invented to describe the level of stupidity for most of the morons in this biz.

Every single argument you fucking morons have is a losing argument. Testing is flawed. People fake tests/cheat. Models escort. Disease is rampant. Disease affects everyone.. not just the people on the film set. ... and you people are again, proving to the public why you are just a bunch of assholes that should never be trusted or believed and should remain on the fringe.

God damn, that is an awesome post. That is brutal truth to the core. :2 cents:


The word is "Manwin."

It is not so obvious that it passed! 56/44 is far from obvious! We moved this from a 70/30 poll too 56/44! Our campaign had results, we just did not do enough, more support for more tv ads would have pushed this over the edge. That's the thing that we learned from this...

We will see what happens next...

Fingers crossed! I'm sure a county full of Catholic Mexicans are going to rally behind pornographers at the last minute.

Leaving and taking the money and jobs with them would be the best thing they could do.

Time to invest in condom companies. :D

What you are saying is, with all the experience from the FSC, your lawyers, other industry lawyers, James Lee, top industry professionals, and everyone else, that no one knew what could have pushed it over the edge to your favor until it was over and you lost?

Sounds like a well thought out plan and money well spent.

:1orglaugh

God, I love it when people tell the fucking truth.

Despite some of the new webkiddies that are a community on their own and have no idea how to make real money. In my area of the world there are a small handful of the old school pornographers left and a couple of young ones that have learned from them.

If you want to make money you keep your head down, maintain polite but quite relations with the other pornographers and those that bring attention to themselves or the industry you avoid like a disease. Do not even acknowledge their existence or film the same girls that they use.

My advice is unless you are in Los Angeles. Ignore what is happening there and use this as an opportunity to grab market share. But if you are in Los Angeles, I wish you good luck.

Next time try things the old way,

Take a politician out to for a good time, introduce him to some of the girls and make sure he gets big gifts for all the holidays. It is cheaper and more efficient.

But like most of the new people in porn that entered this industry in the last 5 to 10 years on here, I sincerly doubt you will still be around for another 5 more years.

why regular people are having the final say, i just don't get. it should of only been industry people who can vote for it. they are the ones being affected one way or the other.

Idiot. Note Money would have helped. We said so all along.

I can agree with most of that but it does nothing for public safety. such a small amount of people in porn compared to the public at large that are not practicing safe sex and in some situations, purposely spreading stds. they should of passed a law forcing ALL people to wear condoms during any kind of sexual activity if it was really about public safety and not just a way to tax and fine the adult industry.
