    True enough... but it wasn't really an issue at the time. It was many years after that when I actually heard of somebody I knew that got it. It just wasn't something we were concerned about back then.

      Because its false. There are plenty of porn scenes where condoms are nowhere to be seen

        I think there was an attempt to make condoms manadatory in California around 2004, but I have no idea how that actually turned out. I would imagine the bigger companies probably follow that as a matter of course, but there's so much "amateur" stuff out there (quite often using some of the same women you'd see in a "regular" movie) that I imagine it would be nearly impossible to enforce even if it were actually law.

          For intercourse? Are you sure it's not filmed overseas?

          This is why there's a big market for Czech and Russian gay bareback porn, because the American companies can't do it. They also have to test their stars regularly for STDS by law.

            Apparently it's not federal law, but it's enforced on a county level in porn hotspots like LA County...

              I don't know about gay bareback porn, but there's plenty of bareback hetero porn. And a lot of the bareback stuff was filmed in the States. The stars do have to be tested regularly. The more responsible companies have a condom-only policy, though. But its still up to them, unless there's some new law i haven't heard of.

                I rarely see porn films with condoms used in them. And the're USDM.

                  I'd have to second the "Condom WTF" motion here. I've seen lots of American porn films and condom use is the exception, not the rule.

                  Maybe up in Canada where they're more responsible about these things, perhaps Asher?

                    Maybe this is specific to gay porn, because the only non-condom use gay porn I've seen was from small studios that already broke some laws or from Europe.

                    One of those small studios is Cobra. It's actually an interesting read...most of the guys who stared in Cobra movies could not get employed at any big porn companies since they did not use condoms. Eventually, the head of Cobra was murdered by one of his stars (in 2006?).

                      May gay porn stars are just more responsible?
