Californians to vote on requiring condoms in porn films
(AP) — Californians are set to decide next year whether to require actors in pornographic movies to wear condoms, taking up an issue that could affect the future of the state's multibillion-dollar adult film industry.
The measure would require movie actors to wear condoms when filming scenes of sexual intercourse.
The Free Speech Coalition, which is the adult film industry's trade association, fears the measure would harm the industry and promote lawsuits against actors, producers and distributors without significantly improving safety because performers currently are tested for disease every 14 days.
