The Future of Porn

This is interesting. A gay porn production company digitally removes condoms in post-production.

"'With this movie I really wanted to capture the essence of that time, when life seemed more carefree and spontaneous. In keeping with this concept, I felt that condoms need to be addressed. I wanted to give the impression of a pre-condom movie, but use condoms as we do in every scene we film. I found a way to film the movie safely and effectively, while giving the experience that I had intended and using the hottest modern stars.'"

Mr. Condom

The LA Times has a profile of Michael Weinstein, the guy who's been leading the charge to get the adult movie industry to require the wearing of condoms on porn sets.

"Porn mogul Larry Flynt, who also opposed the condom mandate, said Weinstein had 'played the press beautifully' on the issue.

'If the whole industry had to respond to his demands, the whole industry would just shut down. But that's not going to happen,' Flynt said. 'He'll get his 60 minutes of fame, I guess.'

Weinstein maintains that protecting porn workers is the right thing to do. But he also concedes that the campaign is a public-relations windfall: 'We got more publicity for safer sex and condoms than we ever could have gotten any other way.'"
