The Los Angeles City Council has today voted 9-1 in favor to approve a new ordinance that requires all adult film actors to wear condoms when filming within city limits. The measure not only requires adult production companies to agree to use condoms on their porn sets, they also need to obtain XXX filming permits and pay a permit fee to cover the cost of inspections. It is believed that the fee recommended to the city council is $85 for each permit. According to LA Weekly, the new law will go into effect in 90 days.
If you’ve ever asked someone what they think about the people who produce bareback porn, often the word irresponsible will come up. This is because many people consider bareback porn producers to be reckless and selfish, where the health of those involved is not taken into consideration. I have operated bareback blogs since 2008 and a bareback sex resource since 2004, so I have personally experienced the reactions that some people have about bareback sex and bareback porn.
Last year I reviewed an amazing product called Str8cam Lube, created by Str8cam performer Jeff. Jeff has been an adult performer working in the porn industry for over ten years, so he called his lubricant after himself to associate the branding with his successful porn career. Jeff recently created a second branding for his lube and called it Spunk Lube Hybrid, which is a brilliant name in my opinion, as it represents the contents of the bottle better than the previous name. Last year Str8cam Lube won the 2011 TLA Gay Awards in the Favorite Accessory / Sex Toy category.
I have just finished reading an article at Huffington Post which states that on Friday October 7, 2011, a court in Minneapolis convicted a man of first-degree assault for the transmission of HIV. Now you might be thinking that it’s a criminal offense to intentionally infect another person with HIV in many parts of the world (which it is), but the content of this article is disturbing based on the fact that it has been reported that the infected partner disclosed his HIV status prior to engaging in unprotected sex with the victim, who consented to having unprotected sex with the man, but the victim later changed their mind once they became HIV-positive and they had the man charged.
During the past couple of weeks I have received several messages from guys asking me why I have bareback sex when it’s so risky. I’ve been called crazy, nuts and insane along with a string of other things, so I would like to address this particular issue. It’s definitely an interesting area to explore and I’m always happy to delve further into the subject of bareback sex. I am a barebacker because I enjoy the sensation created by skin-on-skin contact and I also enjoy exchanging cum as part of my barebacking encounters. This is my personal choice and I have made myself aware of the risks of having unprotected sex and I am comfortable with the level of risk I expose myself to by being an active barebacking participant.
A couple of weeks ago I received an email from a visitor asking me for advice. I responded by email and I am hoping that what I wrote was useful. I figured that other guys may be in a similar situation, so I have published the question I received below, but I have removed the identifying information to protect the person who wrote the message.
I am now thinking about publishing a regular advice column here at my blog about all things related to barebacking, so if you have a question you would like to ask me, then follow this link to submit your question and I will do my best to respond to every question received and I’ll also provide my personal response via email as well.
I have been contacted by a gay porn performer who has appeared in both bareback and condom porn films who believes that he was infected with HIV during a porn shoot. The performer has requested an interview with me to speak about his experiences and I am pleased to present this interview below. The performer has requested that his identity remain confidential because he is still working in the bareback porn industry and he does not want to lose work as a result of speaking about his experiences. I have made assurances that I will keep his identity anonymous, but we have both agreed that it is acceptable to provide the following details: The performer is an American male in his twenties who believes he was infected by an American-based gay porn studio and has requested that he be referred to as Mitch (not his real name) throughout this interview.
Think about bareback porn for a moment and some of the following thoughts may come to mind: hot, risky, awesome, dangerous, natural, disease, erotic. Depending on your stance regarding bareback porn, the things that come to your mind may be quite different to what comes to another persons mind. One thought which likely comes to anyone’s mind is the element of risk that can be associated with barebacking. It’s a real shame that disease can also be connected with something so natural, but it’s definitely relevant, whether we like to think about it or not.
I often receive messages from guys asking all sorts of things about me and I am always happy to answer any question I receive. So I decided that it would be neat to put together a list of frequently asked questions and answers in an interview with myself. The questions below have been asked by my visitors, so they are real questions and if there’s something else you would like to know that is not answered here, you can ask me by leaving a comment and I will reply. You could say that this self-interview resembles the concept of masturbation, so it should be loads of fun!
Producers of pornography spend considerable amounts of money making entertainment for our enjoyment and for years they have had their content redistributed without permission at file sharing sites and through online services where pirated videos can be illegally downloaded. The financial effects of piracy for porn producers can be hurtful, as they need to receive income to cover their expenses and to be able to continue producing porn for those of us who enjoy watching it.
