Two adult film companies fined for allowing unprotected sex on movie set
LOS ANGELES (AP) — California officials fined two adult film companies more than $30,000 US each for allowing actors to perform without using condoms, the first time the state has taken such action.
The fines against Evasive Angles and TTB Productions follow an investigation into a complaint filed by a porn industry worker. The companies have 15 days to appeal the decision Wednesday by the state Division of Occupational Health and Safety.
Susan Gard, agency spokeswoman, said the companies violated California law when actors performed sex scenes without using condoms. She said state law requires employers to protect workers who are exposed to blood or bodily fluids on the job.
“Any bodily fluid is considered infectious,” she said. “That means barrier equipment must be used.”
A Montreal woman was among four actors diagnosed earlier this year with HIV, prompting state officials to say they would investigate whether state laws were being followed. Officials at Evasive Angles and TTB Productions could not immediately be reached for comment; calls to them went unanswered early Friday.
The companies were also cited for not notifying authorities about actors who contracted HIV on the job, officials said.
It is a widely held belief among adult film producers that condom use hurts profits because customers would rather see unprotected sex. However, some large adult film production companies require actors to use condoms.

This is why girl-on-girl porn is so much better.

I thought "evasive angles? they've spelt that wrong I think. Surely it should be "evasive angels". then the penny dropped...

Hahahaha!

I've always been a little freaked out by how condom-free XXX porn is. How can you not contract something if that's your line of work?

What needs to happen is not suing porn companies, but mandating health checkups and requiring that they provide health insurance.

You mean like in Casablanca?

how is getting paid to have sex legal but paying to have sex not?

― AaronK (AaronK), Friday, 17 September 2004 18:17 (twenty-one years ago)

If you have to ask...you've paid for sex.

― Huk-L, Friday, 17 September 2004 18:19 (twenty-one years ago)

laws are dumm, that's how.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 17 September 2004 18:20 (twenty-one years ago)

ACTing!

― dave225 (Dave225), Friday, 17 September 2004 18:21 (twenty-one years ago)

It's the enjoyment principle, right? Buying a hooker is entertainment for the john, porn is work for everyone involved.

Have we had a 'hooker ads in the back of alt-weeklies: C/D' yet?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 17 September 2004 18:27 (twenty-one years ago)

So if I pay a woman to come and have sex with me, and I video it, I'm within the law?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 17 September 2004 19:09 (twenty-one years ago)

as long as you can prove intent to distribute.

― Tonight at ten (kenan), Friday, 17 September 2004 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

It's actually not against the law in most jurisdictions to actually exchange money for sex, it's just illegal to ask to, hence solicitation charges.

― Huk-L, Friday, 17 September 2004 19:12 (twenty-one years ago)

So I also have to send copies to my friends? I'm not against this plan at all, just trying to get it clear.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 17 September 2004 19:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Make sure you give your 'business' a name (Skidporn Productions?) and get model waivers.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 17 September 2004 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Skidporn Productions sounds really really really WRONG.

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Friday, 17 September 2004 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, talk about your "niche market"!

― SO ASHAMED (Dan Perry), Friday, 17 September 2004 19:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, copies of the proof-of-age for the models is U&K to not going to jail.

― Huk-L, Friday, 17 September 2004 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

brilliant.

― Tonight at ten (kenan), Friday, 17 September 2004 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

DP: classic or dud?

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Friday, 17 September 2004 19:53 (twenty-one years ago)

DOOD I WAS JUST GONNA ASK THAT

― ddb (ddb), Friday, 17 September 2004 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Director of Photography?

― Tonight at ten (kenan), Friday, 17 September 2004 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL...SO NASTY. NUTS ON NUTS.

― ddb (ddb), Friday, 17 September 2004 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I was going to say CLASSIC but then realized you might be talking about Diaper Porn.

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Friday, 17 September 2004 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

The guy on the bottom can never get any good thrusts in. I feel bad for him.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 17 September 2004 20:00 (twenty-one years ago)

That depends - it's certainly not always true.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 17 September 2004 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

OOOOOOooooohhhh.

― Tonight at ten (kenan), Friday, 17 September 2004 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I feel dumb, too.

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Friday, 17 September 2004 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

That was the sound of me suddenly understanding, BTW, not the sound of me gatting some good thrusts in.

― Tonight at ten (kenan), Friday, 17 September 2004 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

HAHAHAHA! "Take that!" *POW-POW-P-POW*

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Friday, 17 September 2004 20:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah they just don't seem to know how to do it properly. And I think "THESE are professionals?!?"

― oops (Oops), Friday, 17 September 2004 20:04 (twenty-one years ago)

A gun that fires dicks would give new meaning to the phrase "banana clip".

If your nuts touch another dudes nuts (regardless of whether or not it's during DP), you turn into a pumpkin.

DP just looks really uncomfortable for everyone involved. Anytime I see that I just think "I really hope they're paying her extra."

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Friday, 17 September 2004 20:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I've known one woman for whom I know it was her favourite sexual thing, by a distance.
