Condom law affects porn industry in Los Angeles, USA

The basic purpose of the Condom Law was to require all male porn actors to wear condoms during filming.  This was to prevent the spread of HIV AIDS and other sexually transmitted infection in the porn industry.

Since its implementation in 2012, production of porn in the Los Angeles area has dropped dramatically.  It is said to affect 10,000 jobs and 6 Billion Dollars worth of revenues.

According to porn producers, actors are not comfortable using condoms and fans don't like it either. The consumers or fans simply wants raw sex.

Before the implementation of the Condom Law, actors undergo rigid HIV testing and other measures were in place to prevent the spread of infections.  However some actors in recent years contracted HIV AIDS.

Some productions are now being moved outside LA and even abroad.
