For most of us, using protection during intimacy is a form of common sense. But there are others who still have to learn the hard way. A man in LA has failed a lawsuit against the porn industry being forced to use protection when engaging in their craft. The suit was filed on behalf of Vivid Entertainment, a giant in the industry. Joining the suit were performers Kayden Kross and Logan Pierce.
The group is attempting to argue that their right to not protect themselves or the public is a form of free speech and expression. They are protesting Measure B, a ballot initiative that was voter-approved, requiring that those involved in this industry use protection at all times.
“Despite what the adult industry’s lawyers are claiming in this lawsuit, Measure B is not directed at speech, and as such, their First Amendment claims will likely ring hollow with the court,” Myers said in a statement. “Measure B is about safety in a commercial endeavor. Nothing in Measure B restricts the content of what can be shown.”
Paul Cambria Jr., the lead attorney for the adult industry, says that the use of condoms impedes on the ability to make good films.
“Let’s assume that we’re filming an adult movie and it was taking place in the swashbuckler times. All of a sudden, Captain Jack slips on a condom. Obviously, that would basically destroy the movie, because it would be fake. Obviously, people would know that couldn’t have happened then,” Cambria said.
Ds is serious.
