What the hell is up with lawmakers in California? Apparently they want to legislate so that porn performers are obliged to wear goggles. According to the New York Daily News, the latest draft of California Bill AB 640 requires porn actors to wear goggles – or ‘personal protective equipment’ as they put it – in order to prevent bodily fluids hitting a performer’s eyes, skin, genitals and, horribly, mucous membranes.

In LA, the industry is suffering from the imposition of condom laws. What might happen if actors were also obliged to wear protective eyewear hardly bears thinking about. Lawmakers have been accused of basically criminalizing the production of porn in California. Apparently porn stars are already supposed to wear protective gear but that this, obviously, is never really enforced.

If US lawmakers keep going in this direction, sooner or later, porn is going to look very much like two fully geared-up bomb disposal technicians rubbing against each other.
