Stop the presses, stop the presses–this just in: California might require condoms in porn! That’s right–Cal/OSHA officials have drafted rules to require porn performers to use condoms and other barriers in sex scenes to prevent being infected with sexually transmitted diseases.

The 17-page draft proposal will be discussed at a public meeting in Los Angeles on June 7.  The draft would then go to the state’s Occupational Safety & Health Standards Board for a ruling on whether it becomes part of state code.

I know you think I’m obsessed with this story, and that’s because..I am.  This is groundbreaking–it could spell the end of porn as we know it.  I can see it now: Porn industry moves out of California, and sets up shop in Nebraska.  Holy Cornhuskers!

Some major porn producers have opposed the use of condoms in straight films.  Their beefcake is exactly that they think nobody will want to watch latex-laden sex, and so they fear the industry will have to move out of California (and into the back-alleys, no pun intended).  We’ll see how many free speech groups come to the rescue of smut.

Oh well, nanny-state here we come.  If we can’t smoke, eat fast food, carry guns or watch condom-less porn, what next?  I’m thinking they’ll start to limit our prescription drugs and vaccines…nah!!!
