  The majority of porn watchers do not want to see condoms used. The porn producers know this. If this measure passes the porn companies will just move to other states and California will loose tax revenue.

  I think people do understand this, and this is why there is opposition.
  
  I don't know where this proposition originally came from.
  
  But what I also find interesting is that originally porno movies were underground, and by many considered illegal. With this proposition, they would make it go that way again, but they would also be legitimating the industry if they complied.
  
  And then likewise about the measure in Georgia, wanting money for sexually exploited children, if the strip clubs pay that then they are being legitimated as a special class of industry.

  ^^^^ a lot of this parallels the marijuana and Indian casino debates. Though we allow these medical marijuana collectives, and we have the Indian casinos, the highly contested area is how much tax they should pay. And then here in San Jose we still have strong restrictions on these marijuana places, so there are not actually that many of them.
  
  For myself, I'd rather that they not have the Indian Casinos or the Marijuana shops.
  
  But I did tell Nina that if it gets decriminalized, that I won't press for re-criminalization.
  
  There is a California proposition on the ballot now to totally decriminalize it.
  
  But about the prono movies and the condoms, I am still surprised, because much of our society would still like to pretend that such movies don't even exist.

  This was before their first and eponymous album. I like that, but I like this better.
  
  Though I've never really been a fan of Sammy Hagar. It is not really his singing, it is just him that rubs me the wrong way. They say he has a brother who is a "Christian Rocker". Well that does not surprise me in the least.

  I already read an article that if this passes and condoms are the law, many porn companies already have steps in place to move to Las Vegas. Las Vegas officials said (unofficially) "hey this is Sin City, we welcome their business and won't make them use condoms."

  Las Vegas, or Tijuana. And then does the law prevent the trafficking of non-condom videos?
  
  And then it was not that far back that all porno videos were seen as illegal anyway. The men covering their faces. Is this how it will be?
  
  And where is this condom idea coming from, especially since not that far back there were large anti-porn crusades. This in effect removes all remaining ambiguity and legalizes it.
  
  Most Curious!

  This is a feel good law type thing.
  
  What I mean is that the people who purposed this bill were ( I assume) getting pressure about porn, demoralizing of our nation, adult industry, etc crap from some of there voters. So they put forth this bill to make it seem they are doing something.
  
  I hope it gets defeated. Porn is already a huge regulated industry.
  
  Like others have stated the tax income it will lose from the industry, income taxes on the stars who have residency in the state, sales of porn vids, property taxes on the studio's once they move out of the state, etc.
  
  good old moral law trying to get passed.... yet like mentioned... pot laws, gambling, etc. (I could care less about either one just using as example).

  I can't help but think about members doing BB in the VIP.
  
  But I remember Aurora Snow putting in her $0.02 in an article some time ago, one nearly the same subject. It had to do with the mandatory STD testing. A male model didn't have his paperwork. He knew it was required but didn't have it. The producer still want to shot and complained when she wouldn't go for it BB. Since he didn't have paperwork then it was condom only. And she had to stand her ground on it.
  
  Personally, it would be more life like if it showed the guy struggling to get the condom on while his partner just sat there waiting.. Maybe telling him to hurry up.

  I remember reading somewhere that some wise inventor was developing a latex spray to replace rubbers for porn shoots. Supposedly, the latex, when sprayed on an erect penis, is not visible on camera and affords the same protection as a condom. After use, it can be pealed off like latex body paint.
  
  If the spray on condom is a real thing, porn will just adapt and keep going. The only peoblem I see is the break needed to peal off the latex spray before a cum shot.
