There are a lot of things I believe in personally, behaviors I think are smart . . . actions I like to take to protect myself, etc. but that I DO NOT WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO MAKE FOR ME. This is supposed to be a fundamental part of our freedom in this country: choice. You sound like a total commie the way you're talking about people being so stupid they need the government to step in and take their choices away.

I also disagree with comparing this industry to other OSHA regulated industries because we are depicting SEX. Something regular people have recreationally. SEX. An activity that's our birthright. Or biological drive. How you have it, who you have it with, all of that stuff is NONE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S BUSINESS TO REGULATE, nor is it the industry's business to regulate it. There are a lot of people (like my partner and I) who are making porn depicting our real sex lives, not a studio act. Condom mandates would be a really invasive, restrictive and unnecessary thing to foist upon amateurs who make real porn depicting their real sex lives. For example: we're trying to get pregnant (and just set aside your judgment on us for doing that and pretend we're a "nice, normal" couple). We have spycams and we make porn. So basically a condom mandatory law or regulation would be like telling us we aren't allowed to get pregnant the regular way since we are on cam all the time.

People need more/better education, not more laws and mandates. These issues are more complex than just being all for something or all against something. You can be critical of and concerned about something (condomless sex in porn) without automatically concluding the best remedy is a bunch of inflexible, freedom-taking rules and regulations.
