LA Times ^ | August 5, 2014 | Richard Verrier

Asd the film community battles to keep Hollywood close to home, another local industry – adult entertainment -- is fleeing Los Angeles.

The number of permits issued for adult productions has plummeted since November 2012, when voters approved a measure that requires performers to wear condoms on sets.

Last year, 40 permits were issued for X-rated productions in the city and county, down about 90% from the estimated number of permits issued in 2012. And through July of this year, only 20 permits have been issued for adult productions, according to data from FilmL.A. Inc., the nonprofit group that handles film permits for the city and county.

Porn is no longer Politically Correct in California because it does not support the Gay productions exclusively. Gayness must replace male/female sexuality you know.

The prudes did not push them out —it was the leftist, micromanaging safety Nazis.

They’ve all moved to Florida. We have friends who are involved in the adult entertainment industry here in Florida, and they tell us that business is VERY good.

That won’t stop the Left from blaming it on the “American Taliban” Right.

Vice is nearly recession proof. In fact the worse it gets, the more the weaker minded turn to vice it seems.

and many performers object to wearing condoms, contending they cause rashes and chafing during hourlong shoots

Viagra really gave the porn industry a lift.

I’m sure condoms also interfere with the fantasy which porn is trying to demonstrate. People’s fantasy don’t involve a condom.

I think condoms also interfere with the “grand finale” which is common to show in pornography.

Many people who work in the “legitimate” film industry in the Los Angeles area often worked in the adult film/video industry as a means to earn money to pay the bills. Now that this new law is driving many people in the movie industry out of Los Angeles County, the “legitimate” movie industry will wonder why there is a dearth of experienced people needed to produce new movies....

Not as if the movies they were producing were all that great in the first place.

There was an interesting murder movie from the 80's that featured Melanie Griffith as a porn Star. Body Double. The lead character is an actor who falls in love with the porn star, gets hired for a role in her movie. They have a passionate scene, and the director and producer realize there was no 'grand finale'

Funny and suspenseful. Rated R

There is also the fact that live webporn and free webporn is killing the whole “adult film industry.”

Very difficult to compete with free...
