There’s Never Been A Better Time To Show Your Love For Hardcore Porn

If you've been paying attention to LA County politics, you may have heard mention of a little ballot initiative known as Measure B, a proposal to require condoms and other safer sex methods in adult film in LA County (as well as require the government to rigorously enforce this policy, at the taxpayers' expense). Well, despite the best efforts of Porn Valley's hardworking lobbyists, this measure passed last night--which, to put it bluntly, means that the hardworking men and women of the LA porn community got seriously fucked. And not in the fun way.

Regardless of your own personal feelings about safer sex and porn, it's not hard to see why the adult industry isn't thrilled about the mandate. For one thing, noncondom porn just plain sells better. And while Los Angeles may be the hub of American porn production, it's certainly not the only place where porn gets made--so as long as Miami, San Francisco, San Diego, and a whole host of other places can legally produce condom free porn, there's absolutely no financial advantage to adhering to the strictures of Measure B (especially when those strictures also include, ahem, letting the feds come on to your set and watch the action).

So let's be real: from a consumer perspective, Measure B is highly unlikely to change porn as we know it--but it is likely to cost the industry a whole heck of a lot of cash. Whether studios buckle down and fight the measure in courts, or give in and move production out of LA, they're going to be spending a whole lot of money just to guarantee that they can still bring you the porn you love and desire. So we've got a little suggestion for you: why not send them a little bit of cash to show your appreciation?

Maybe you're a regular porn consumer, maybe you've never paid a dime for porn. Whatever the case, there's no day like today to throw a little cash in the direction of the San Fernando Valley. As a friend said to us this morning, Porn Valley got fucked in the ass last night. And if that's the kind of action you like to watch, we highly recommend paying for the pleasure.

And if you need recommendations on where to start, well, here's a list of some of our favorite LA based studios.

Enter Belladonna Belladonna is the reason why pornography was created in the first place. If you have to ask why we think you should give her money, then you clearly need to go back to porn school.

Burning Angel There's a reason why Joanna Angel is our Supreme Commandress, and it's basically because she's completely, totally awesome. Her unique brand of punk rock porn is equal parts funny and sexy. She works hard so we can all get hard--let's show her some love.

Digital Playground It takes some serious chutzpah to trademark the phrase "Porn Worth Paying For," but we think that Digital Playground more than lives up to their motto.

Elegant Angel If Buttwoman and Slutwoman had superpowers (instead of just super sex powers), they'd be able to take down Measure B all by themselves. Unfortunately, they're gonna need your help--so why not send some cash to the company that chronicles their adventures?

EvilAngel.com The house of Buttman has brought us many great things--and worked hard to defend our rights to perv out in the process (remember that whole obscenity trial they went through?). Let's stand with our proud pervs in their time of need.

Pink Visual Pass They innovate so you can masturbate. Now how about you donate to their cause, to help them keep the innovation engine running?

And a few more you should definitely consider supporting....
