It's not, but it is the "sensible" option. I know performers who are quite happy working without one, but that is there choice. If someone does not feel safe working without them (and it isn't safe) then they should either find producers who are happy to work with performers using condoms (and there are a few), or get out of the business.

However, although I support Chi Chi La Rue decision to leave Vivid because she does not like their "condom-optional" policy, I also feel that Vivid (or any producer) has a right to adopt a "condom-optional" policy if they like, or even a "no condom" policy. After all, there are plenty of performers who are happy to work without them (and a few who prefer to work without them) and there a few producers who have a "condom only" policy that people like Chi Chi La Rue can work for.

In other words, I don't see Chi Chi La Rue's leaving Vivid as an example of ethics, just a personal choice on her part not to accept high risk employment.
