In July, an AIDS advocacy group filed complaints against 16 production companies that show unprotected sex in porn movies stating they would not stop until there is a policy of requiring condoms to be used in porn.
I found this statement from the foundation’s rep to be unnecessarily harsh: "Our elected officials and our government are treating the young people who are performing in these films as trash that don't deserve protection.”
To protect actors and actresses from disease, regulations already exist that require routine health and STD testing of all production company porn players.
Most porn fans that I know greatly dislike seeing condoms in their. I guess the question is: how much influence does pornography have on real-life sex practices of its viewers. A question with a complicated answer I would imagine.
Take this into consideration. In a 1996 Journal of Psychology and Human Sexuality study, 168 male and 149 female undergraduates enrolled in a psychology course were asked to read one of the following types of stories: erotic with condom placement described, erotic without condom use, or non-erotic with a model for discussing condoms. The men and women who read the non-erotic stories were most positive about condoms and reported the strongest intentions to use condoms in the future. These findings suggest that erotica is not necessary to produce positive attitudes toward condoms.
I wonder if studies with porn would produce similar results…
