Porn Goggles?

[Bocefish]

A Draft from the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) may require porn actors to use condoms on shoots--not too surprising for an industry laden with STIs.

A bill called AB640, which requires condoms on porn shoots by law, is currently stalled in the Senate.

However, the new 21-page draft may also require actors to have sex during porn while wearing safety goggles.

The OSHA claims goggles will avoid semen from entering the eyes, a body part susceptible to diseases such as HIV and Chlamydia.

Salon reports that according to OSHA's deputy chief of health Deborah Gold, barrier methods such as condoms and eye protection are already technically required on porn shoots. Few porn companies adhere to those standards.

If the new guidelines are deemed mandatory, there may be a trial period in which actors can ditch the 'barrier method' during oral sex. The safety rules would be reconsidered again in 2018 and either kept or discontinued.

Slate reports that Wicked Pictures is the only mainstream porn production company that requires condom use during anal and vaginal intercourse.

Porn insiders are not thrilled with the new safety laws and some think the draft regulations are trying to rid the porn industry all together.

Peter Ackworth, CEO of the fetish site Kink.com told Salon that the draft regulations 'basically criminalize the production of porn.' He even told Salon that he's thinking of selling Kink's San Francisco porn palace named the Armory.

He said he'd 'have to invest in a warehouse in Nevada or Europe,' to produce his porns. Unfortunately, porns that use protective barrier methods during sex don't sell as well as porns that don't.

One porn actress Lily Lebeau told Slate, I wouldn't mind using condoms more. It's just not what people want to see.'

The porn industry started using condoms more after a 2004 HIV outbreak, but after porn sales went down, condoms came off, reported ABC.

Why do I get the feeling porn is just turning into the part in the movie Demolition Man? Eventually where no one is going to touch, and it'll be a scenario where it's all virtual. I mean, they already have realtouch.

I have never understood the point of porn that uses condoms but then takes them off to have the money shot on someones face, mouth or body. If they are using it for birth control, fine. But if it is for preventing STD's it doesn't make a lot of sense. Yes, I do know the skin and mouth are generally more difficult routes to be infected by but it was always a WTF moment for me when it is done.
