Matt – sorry about that incomplete summary – the back story is complicated. The org pushing for condom mandates is an anti-porn organization. AIDS Healthcare actively works on this with anti-porn crusaders like Shelly Lubben and Pink Cross, who lobby politicians to make porn illegal and have a very vocal Christian agenda.

Why is the push for mandatory condoms in porn deemed “anti-porn?” I’m seeing a wide variety of opinions on the subject, among people who are generally pro-porn.

What sometimes baffles me about the “controversy” of teaching contraception and such in school is that when I was in high school (Southeastern Pennsylvania, just north of Philly), there was a display permanantly attached to the wall in the health education room that had examples of all the then-available contraception. Sex was taught matter of factly and with an emphasis on what the consequences might be and how to avoid them. It neither glorified nor vilified sex, sex just WAS.

And from what I can see now, I seemingly had a radical education! And yet, maybe one or two girls when I was in high school got pregnant, and noone had STDs, and I know full when The Sex was happening. What has happened to the world that we have gone so dramatically /backwards/ on such things? The mind boggles.
