L.A. Losing Porn-Movie Business

Variety moans: ‘Los Angeles is losing its status as the production center of pornographic films, thanks to a voter-approved measure requiring performers to wear condoms on sets. Permits issued for X-rated productions have fallen by 90% since 2012, when Los Angeles County voters passed Measure B in November of that year after a campaign contending that the law would protect performers from outbreaks of sexually transmitted diseases. The porn industry had opposed the measure, asserting that mandatory testing for HIV was effective.’ Government regulation isn’t the only reason shoots are dwindling: amateur porn is everywhere online — why pay for the cow if you can get the milk for free?
