Less than a week after Election Day, the adult entertainment industry touched down on to Edison, NJ for EXXXOTICA 2012. Billed as “the nation’s largest event dedicated to love and sex”, EXXXOTICA did not disappoint. And while fans were there to celebrate all things “behind closed doors” in an open forum, there was a growing concern coursing through many of their private fantasy factories:

Will pornstars have to wear condoms from now on?

That was the question that garnered the most attention and interest during Saturday’s Q&A with industry titans like Lisa Ann, Raylene, Stoya, Tori Black, Tasha Reign, Kaylani Lei, Christie Stevens, Mari Possa, and Marcus London.

It was also the one question that everyone needed answered. Because whether you want to admit it or not, adult performers aren’t the only ones who will have to deal with the consequences of Measure B having been passed by the general population of the county of Los Angeles. Millions Billions of fans desperately seeking a moment of escape will also have to face the possibility of having their fantasies come crashing down. We’re all invested.

And that is perhaps the only thing that will help reverse course and rule that the new Safer Sex Initiative be done away with.

Forget that the Safe Sex Initiative will cost an already bankrupt state to pour much-needed funds into another unenforceable fight against man’s most popular vice. Forget that the Safe Sex Initiative is redundant considering that condom use on porn sites is already required under state and city law, though barely enforced. And forget that the Safe Sex Initiative was spearheaded by Michael Weinstein, executive director of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, who spent the past months ramping up on his uninformed rhetoric in an attempt to scare the public into passing Measure B.

Yeah, let’s forget all of that and remember that the only ones that end up getting #@$%ed by enforcing porn productions to use condom are porn’s loyal fans.
