The establishment would never allow this. Because they would in fact be responsible by law.
The same should be applied to producers. It is your set and your responsibility as to what happens on your set.
Do not cut corners in safety, otherwise sooner or later in one way or another you will regret it. Disease or fines.

A bar and a hotel room are two different things. A bar is a public place that is highly regulated for people to get drunk. A hotel room is where people sleep and fuck in private.
And yeah, people at bars DO sneak into the bathroom and out to their cars and do all kinds of drugs. You know that. It's just human nature.
Look, I understand where you are coming from.
But as a person who shot content since 1998...a "set" is most time somebodies house or a hotel room (unless you are rich enough to buy a building and create a studio).
I have never encountered any safety issues in a hotel room or a bedroom or a living room.
This ain't like a bunch of steel workers 1000 feet in the air building a skyscraper.
It's a couple of people having sex in a bed or on a couch.
If that was a "safety" issue...none of us would exist because nobody would have sex. lol
I just think that a lot of folks are way over-reacting.
It seems to be the way our society is in the last decade. As I pointed out earlier...back when AIDS was 1000 times worse, nobody acted like this.
Hell, our govt. has spent TRILLIONS of dollars and forces us to be searched like criminals to fly an airplane...all over a dozen guys with box cutters hijacking some airplanes. (even though in the 1960's, 1970's, 1980's hijackings were taking place all the time).
Seems like we've become a society that as a whole is just plain out...scared. And wants to be "protected".
I personally do not WANT to be "protected" by the govt.
The govt. is generally a bunch of criminals voted in by religious nutcases.
They are just itching to close us down. God knows they've tried for decades, but that pesky constitution wouldn't allow it.
BUT...if fear could motivate us to give the govt. the power to search us at airports and spend money that we don't have to do so...then it's an easy one for everybody to think they need "protecting" for their own "safety".
How about this: I'll take care of myself thank you. I don't need some bureaucrat "regulating" fucking.
Now if I decide to shoot a scene with 2 people fucking while jumping out of an airplane, or fucking on top of an active volcano, or fucking while driving 100 mph...then YEAH, there's a safety issue.
2 (or more) people fucking in a living room or a hotel room?
Just doesn't scare me enough to think my "safety" would be in danger.
I'm not arguing with you by the way. Just debating it with you and trying to present the other side of the coin.
It's a good discussion to have.
