NO CONDOMS FOR HOLLYWOOD
Monday, October 10, 2005 - FreeMarketNews.com
Activist Hollywood actors have lent their names and voices to "safe sex" messages, but when it comes to movies, recent studies show the message is distinctly lacking. This information is noteworthy of itself and also because Hollywood has come under attack in the past for its use of cigarettes in movies - equally unexpected given Hollywood's politically correct culture and pronouncements.
Several studies have now been released about major motion pictures concluding that the entire safe sex concept is ignored by Hollywood. In one study, more than 200 films were viewed and analyzed; and the researchers concluded almost all sexual heroes forget about "protection" and "contraception." The only film mentioned as dealing directly with the issue is "Pretty Woman" ? shot in 1990 and starring Julia Roberts as a prostitute and Richard Gere as her client.
Most (if not all) adult-oriented TV programs apparently take care to link sex to the use of condoms, even if the sex is only implied. This may be because the FCC, which regulates television, prohibits TV programs from containing graphic sex scenes and even most nudity. Strangely, as has now been established, very few movies seem to be observing the same protocol.
