As a Republican, who also supports the porn industry, I think it is shortsighted to blame a political philosophy for some imagined "War on Porn". Especially despite the evidence that it is the Democrats that inject government regulation into business. As a bit of proof that this was not the Republican's doing, check out the vote: As I count it, the score on the LA City Council is: 12 Democrats, 1 Republican, 1 - Independent. District 1 - Ed Reyes - DEMOCRAT District 2 - Paul Krekorian - DEMOCRAT District 3 - Dennis P. Zine - NO PARTY AFFILIATION (Former Republican) District 4 - Tom LaBonge - DEMOCRAT District 5 - Paul Koretz - DEMOCRAT District 6 - Tony Cardenas - DEMOCRAT District 7 - Richard Alarcon - DEMOCRAT District 8 - Bernard Parks - DEMOCRAT District 9 - Jan Perry - DEMOCRAT District 10 - Herb J. Wesson, Jr. - DEMOCRAT District 11 - Bill Rosendahl - DEMOCRAT District 12 - Mitchell Englander - REPUBLICAN District 13 - Eric Garcetti - DEMOCRAT District 14 - Jose Huizar - DEMOCRAT District 15 - [Vacant] And who cast the lone vote against this stupid law? That would be Mitchell Englander, who is "The Lone Republican" on the council. I would also like to point out that although the Meese Commission stated that pornography was "harmful", 2 other presidential commissions (1 Republican, Nixon, and 1 Democrat, Johnson) found that there was no evidence of harm, and that most Sociologists discount the Meese commission report as biased. The bias is not because a Republican President commissioned the report, the bias is because the members of the commission were evangelicals and anti-porn from the start. Click to expand Now THAT is the way we should be making decisions instead of these lame sound bites on TV. "Must be those damned Republicans" "Must be those damned Democrats" "Libertarians are druggie loons" (w/o mentioning that alcohol is a drug and the prohibition experiment) [Link]
BlackSix All-Star Member pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world 12377 Posts 9/07	Posted - Jan 17 2012 : 6:27PM It passed, info is here. LA County was always hostile to porn production, this just means that things will shift to San Francisco, where they generally make better porn anyway. BTW Mitchell Englander is the representative of San Fernando Valley, he'd oppose this bill for obvious reasons if he was Democrat or Republican. [Link]

There was a period where condom usage was more common, some studios used them a lot, like Vivid and Wicked. The public did not embrace it so directors dumped them. I see condom usage more often in amateur porn these days. IMO this story is more chatter that will fade away. [/quote] Ask Russ Hampshire at VCA how well that condom mandate Marc Wallice era worked out for his company VCA [Link]

I would suspect San Diego doesn't have the former and isn't the latter. [Link]
mharris127 Senior Member 1844 Posts 8/09	Posted - Jan 28 2012 : 8:45PM ^ I have to second that, BlackSix. As I understand it SF is the friendliest place in the US for smut producers. They are so friendly that one of their larger employers is none other but Kink.com. As of 2007 (source: Peter Acworth's conversation with Bevan Dufty SF Supervisor -- video on Behind Kink) there were several (I think he said seven) gay porn producers there as well. Now that most of LA's porn community is in search of a new home I hope that SF and the surrounding counties becomes the premier location to produce high-quality smut! [Link]

There's no doubt in my mind that SF ir happy that Kink is there but I think a large part of why Kink is appreciated in SF is because they bought an abandoned historical building and invested large sums of money in rewnovating and restoring it to it's past glory.
