Porn producer Vivid Entertainment sues LA County over condom rule

146. Coal mines and the sets of porn films are both work places

and as such they should both be subject to safety regulations.

If you want to have unprotected sex, that's your problem (and the problem with those with whom you have sex. Of course, the least you could do in such a situation is to inform your partner ahead of time you insist on unprotected sex, and allow them to decline to ball you, if that's their choice).

But if you're doing this for money, on a movie set, you are by definition in a work place, and work place rules should apply. BTW, I'M pretty sure that if you want to dig for coal in your own back yard, on your own time, you in fact AREN'T covered by OSHA regulations. You're entitled to be as stupid as you want on your own time and on your own property, (Though I, as a taxpayer and someone who pays health insurance premiums, would prefer not to have to foot the bill for your stupidity).

You don't do porn "because you have no desire" to do so. Well huzza for you. So what gives you the right to insist that those who do must in all instances obey their bosses, who want them to work in unsafe conditions?

If anyone here is playing "sex police" it's you--insisting your libertarian standards be applied to everyone else.

BTW--what makes you think porn workers might not also be "happily married?" Perhaps they need the money. Perhaps they enjoy working in front of a camera. This, however, does not mean they should be forced by their employer to take risks with their health, even if you think such risks are "the price" for having multiple sex partners.
