Brian Pumper Talks Porn, Sex & More On Hollywood Blvd

I actually didn't know who Brian Pumper was when I walked by. I thought it was Jennifer Hudson's boyfriend but it turns out it was not. We ended up having an interesting conversation about safe sex, porn and the use of condoms.

LAPD Will Now Have A Reason To Go To Porn Sets & Will Lesbians In Porn Be Forced To Wear Dental Dams?

The Los Angeles City Council voted 9 to 1 Tuesday to approve the mandatory usage of condoms on Porn sets to prevent the spread and transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. The initiative was brought to vote to spare L.A. with a $4 million ballot measure schedule for June. Although mandatory condom usage in pornography seems like a no brainer, many are claiming that the rule impedes on civil and individual rights. Opponents, want the government via the city to stay out of their sex lives. And they are fighting the imitative that will go into effect in 90 days. Some think if condoms are forced on performers, that many productions will go underground to avoid the law. But really what else is new. Even Charlie Chaplin back in his day, shot his early movies without permits to save money. Many regular (non porn) productions cheat when it comes to permits. So it is very possible that the L.A.P.D. will be checking in on porn sets to see if every male is wearing a "rain coat". But it also begs the question when it comes to Lesbian scenes, will female performers have to wear dental dams to protect themselves? Here is a clip of one of the performers in porn that influenced the new enforcement.

Another Porn Performer Tests Positive for HIV Forces Temporary Shut Down in Porn Production in Los Angeles

Just found out another porn actor/actress has tested positive for the AIDS virus. This has caused a mandatory shut down in porn filming in the Los Angeles. Porn rakes in upwards of $14 Billion dollars in profits. Big Business has agendas. Porn is a destructive force pushing more than unprotected sex and risky behavior but that is another story that I will write on later.
If the performer who has contracted the virus, worked or had sex with a partner or multiple partners in another state or several or even in another country/countries while being infected, how would he or she or anyone know? Due to the nature of the situation, the health authorities can not name the person. It is slightly confusing who is responsible for the testing and notification of the performers due to AIM Medical Associates being shut down and embroiled in a law suit. AIM used to be responsible for testing and maintaining a data base for porn performers in the industry. Now the FSC (Free Speech Coalition- a porn industry/adult industry trade association) is in the mix as well. It seems a little dumb to have the Porn Industry (executives) at the helm of an organization that is suppose to make sure sex workers/performers will be safe and healthy. It would seem more logical to have an outside Health Authority making sure that porn performers were STD free and clear to work. By the way, many performers are clear to work if they have multiple STDs. It seems they only have mandatory shut downs if a performer tests positive for HIV. I guess when one looks deeply at the problem the only person who is responsible, is the person not wearing a condom.
A group of activists including FAIR (For Adult Industry Responsibility) and The Aids Healthcare Foundation have joined together to put an initiative on the California ballot in 2012 to force mandatory condom use in adult films.
Here is a look back at Derrick Burts announcement last year about contacting HIV
