World AIDS Day – Grab a Condom (or press Play on your favorite video) and Celebrate!
December 1st, 2007
December 1st is World AIDS Day and a great opporutunity for everyone to think about the dangers of HIV transmission and remember how important (and easy) it is to stay safe!
This year, it comes at a time of intense debate over barebacking (sex without condoms) in the gay porn industry.
My own personal opinion is that consenting adults have the freedom to do (and watch) whatever they want. As a consumer, about 85% of the porn I buy is safe; the other 15% is bareback. (More importantly, the ratio for my actual sex life is 100% safe – 0% bareback.)
In the past when I have reviewed videos like Latino Bareback, I’ve always made the point that you boys shouldn’t be imitating the action you see in videos. Occasionally, I’ve thought about that small percentage of men who might be dumb enough to get inspired by bareback porn and start experimenting with condom-free sex to see what skin-on-skin fucking really feels like.
If you are looking to satisfy this curiosity, HIV is waiting for you.
In the two years that I’ve been covering men-of-color in porn, I’ve had to deliver sad news about porn stars Joe Romero, Rocky, Johnny Rahm as well as news about unprotected sex (and its consequences) at the CocoDorm.
However, I still believe that the good news for everyone is that safe sex is hot sex! It’s even hotter than bareback sex … and I’ve got the proof!
I’ve been compiling videos for my “Top 5 of 2007″ list that I’ll be publishing at the end of the month, and there’s not a bareback DVD that made the cut. And it’s not because I have an anti-bareback policy. It’s because the mainstream studios have hotter men and a better product. Period.
So, if you’re looking for more information, gayhealth.com is a website with lots of useful info. And if you’re looking to help out in the fight, Maleflixxx is donating $1 for every streaming video rental in December 1st to organizations fighting HIV/AIDS.
