How do you feel about condom use in porn?

Contributor: YourManDustin YourManDustin
I believe it should be left up to the actors/actresses. Just as it is left up to people who have sex that aren't in the porn industry. Of course it is in their best interest! But, it shouldn't be required. I am not turned off by it personally. It doesn't bug me one bit when I see a condom used in porn, and in my head I am thinking "Well, they're smart." Honestly, if they made it a requirement, I'd think they were infringing on the person's right to CHOOSE to have safe OR unsafe sex. It is left up to them. I do, HOWEVER, think it is fucked up that a person would lose work over requesting that a condom be worn.

Nothing wrong with safe sex. I definitely think both actors have a say in the matter.

I think it should be left up to the actors, but at least encouraged.

I believe high end porn companies require STD testing every couple of weeks or they may not perform.

All parties involved should discuss all details beforehand.

Every job has safety regulations. For every porn star who has said that the testing they go through is rigorous as it is, there is another star who says otherwise. I would never blame an actor or actress for saying they feel more comfortable with condom use - it actually makes me kind of angry that they lose work for taking a safety precaution or enforcing their own boundaries.

We already know there's a massive problem with young men trying to carry over the stuff they see in porn to their actual sex life, so I'm always happy to see condoms used in porn.

Funny thing though, I remember James Deen did an AMA over on Reddit and was complaining that requiring condoms "violates the first amendment" (lol) and would mean the death of creampie scenes. Oh boo hoo, cry me a river James.

I always like to see condoms used. I'm not bothered if I DON'T see a condom, but I do prefer it. It's just nice to know that they're being safe!

I dont care either way. If they want to practice unsafe sexual behaviors and have multiple partners, they can deal with the results of their actions.

I think it's cool when they do! It's also nice to see other people using them...as in, seeing when they put it on, how they put it on...if they can make it sexy in any way

People need these pointers sometimes!

I think it should be up to those participating in the scene together.
