Let's remember something here condoms have two uses.

1. To aid in the prevention of spreading stds
2. To aid in preventing unwanted pregnancies.

But both campains have fallen on deaf ears.

If you think that featuring condoms in porn is too a radical "full blown out safe sex campain [sic]", then what exactly is this realistic condom/sex ed "campain" you speak of? Because in all my travel around the US, I've never seen this mass educational project to get people to use condoms that you seem to think exists. (Aside from a few condom ads placed by condom manufacturers in publications that allow it, and grassroots orgs passing out condoms at events.) And actually, I don't blame you for it, since most people seem to think that it's some kind of US government/school project to teach people about safer sex, when, in fact, the US government and schools work against safer sex education as rigorously as they can get away with.

My interest in sexual matters is not limited to how to sell porn or how to look cute on cam. I spend lots of my time researching sex, sexual health, birth control, gender/queer studies, sex work, sex ed, abortion rights, access to healthcare, and all sorts of things in both a historical and contemporary sense. So, I keep up on things, like reading sample texts from popular high school "sex ed" curricula that teaches teens that condoms don't really work anyway, so "just don't do it". (Even when teens who have gone through abstinence-only brainwashing have shown to fuck more than teens who have safer sex education; the only difference being, one group knows more about how to avoid STIs and pregnancy through barriers.) The outright lies that are being taught to "our" children with our tax money is horrifying. It is something everyone in America should be riled up about, because we are paying for it in a number of ways.

So, please, see just a bit of the context in which you're saying that only dumb people don't know how to use condoms or don't use them at all. You can't really blame someone for not having the best sexual practices/health/attitude when their whole life they've been told that condoms are ineffective and *all* non-marital sex results in shame, pregnancy, disease, and even suicidal ambition.

Like I said, it's all a big big issue, and condoms in porn isn't the one magical solution. But, it is one positive thing that we can do, since we're the ones that people look to for ideas.
