California Now Requires Porn Stars To Wear Goggles During Shoots

gogglespicCalifornia’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health has recently taken even more extreme measures to shut down the porn industry. It’s well known that California no longer wants the adult entertainment industry to operate there, so the state has been finding ways to force porn makers out with increasingly oppressive rules and regulations. There’s now a 21-page document of safety standards outlining in graphic detail the mandatory “safety precautions” each adult film actor must take when performing various sex acts—including wearing safety goggles!

Under the category “Personal Protective Equipment,” porn actors are required to wear and/or be provided with “condoms, gloves for cleaning, and, if contact of the eyes with OPIM-STI [pre-ejaculate, ejaculate, semen, vaginal secretions, fecal matter and rectal secretions, etc.] is reasonably anticipated, eye protection.” After this latest low blow, porn producers aren’t the only ones calling foul on California’s openly hostile regulations on the porn industry. Diane Duke, the CEO of the Canoga Park-based Free Speech Coalition, said in the LA Daily News that “These are regulations designed for medical settings, and are unworkable on an adult film set — or even a Hollywood film set.” She’s advocating for those in the adult film industry to have more input in creating these so-called safety standards “in ways that protect adult film performers without stigmatizing and shutting down an entire industry.”

Geez, California—it’s bad enough you have a terrible drought; stop trying to dry up porn too! Come celebrate the freedom of adult entertainment with us—no safety goggles required!
