Porn seems to be all over the news lately. There is so much talk about how bad and wrong it is for us, how it takes us away from reality of life, how it ruins our personal relationships, and how it may or may not be addictive. Then there is always that fancy doctor from some fancy college that loves to hear themselves’ speak and flaunt his/her degree around adding credibility to these arguments.

I may not have the answers above but one thing I do know about porn is that it is 100% SAFE. Speaking of the porn industry; the state of California is close to passing a law requiring porn stars to practice safe sex. The mandate was pushed into action by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and later was passed into law. This issue has garnered much debate. The performers feel that the law is unconstitutional.

You Know You Watch Porn Also
The irony of this situation is that the voters feel that should wear condoms but then the consumers of porn do not want to buy porn with condoms. Porn is still taboo and it is funny how people will have one face to show in society (anti-porn) and then have another at home (huge porn DVD collection). I am pretty sure some of the same people voting are users of porn but then again I do not have any evidence to back up my claims. I do know that the porn industry is one of the top grossing industries in the world; someone has to be buying it.

Porn Contradicts Safe Sex
This whole debate is to showcase the importance of safe sex. While I do believe in safe sex, I do not wish to see condoms in porn. For me porn is about the fantasy and condoms bring a reality to it that I do not like. However just because I do not watching condoms in porn does not mean when I decide to have sex I will not put on a condom.

Porn is an important tool in “safer sex” practices. It is not dangerous to you at all, unless of course you abuse it. This can be said with any hobby or leisure time activity. It is however dangerous to the performers.

Hi My Name is John Doe, I’m a Porn User
I know I watch a lot of porn and nude celebrities and I do it for the simple fact that I was not having sex. I go to work and then come home and watch TV. Porn filled the hole in my life that was caused by not having a girlfriend. I remembered going to video stores and checking out the “new release” rack and being anxious about what was out.

How Do I Choose to Cope?
I am sure there are some people that will judge me or call me desperate. Even suggest I go out and get a girlfriend; to those naysayers I have only one thing to say, “Yes I am desperate, lonely, and I do need a girlfriend. However, I am free to live my life as I see fit as long as I am not causing harm to anyone.

I Am Sexy and I Know It
Every guy is not as attractive as Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt and getting girl friends in this shallow world is not always easy. I know some very attractive guys and they do not always wear condoms. I hear them make excuses like, “She looked like she did not have anything”,” It happened so fast”, or even, “I ran out of condoms but it only happened this one time.” These same guys are the ones with numerous visits to the pharmacy picking up their antibiotic prescriptions. How safe is that?

Porn vs Escorts
Prostitution and Escorts are another outlet but then again it is not safe like watching porn is. Even wearing condoms is not 100% guarantee. It is also a lot more expensive and adds a lot more risks. I can find porn on the internet or numerous stores and although I can find escorts on the internet meeting them is another issue.

Irony of Porn
Porn is a life and death industry; the performers might as well invite HIV into their lives by having numerous sessions of unprotected sex contracting and at times with numerous partners. However, porn serves as safe sex for a lot of individuals that are not having sex at all. Porn is also used by monogamous couples to spice of their sex lives.

Do Condoms in Porn Promote Safe Sex?
Porn is given a bad rap and it may not be something you share with your friends and family it is definitely the taboo, be disowned, cut out of my will type behavior people seem to treat it like. Porn is a fantasy and with any fantasy there is harm if you do not see it from a proper perspective.

I do believe in safe sex but I do not believe that forcing porn stars to wear condoms is a good idea. There other people having just as much sex and not wearing condoms. What does it matter if they are shooting a movie or not?
