I feel like the condom isnt the reason why I'm watching, I want to see two+ guys have sex. I think that they should be wearing condoms for their safety.

But, I know that's not always the case. I agree in that airbrushing to me sends the wrong message. I don't want my sons growing up thinking it's okay to practice unsafe sex. I talked to my oldest son repeatedly and tell him all the time, "Just assume everyone you meet has the 'herpacephalitis' and use condoms." I work in healthcare and see people making unhealthy decisions all the time (gay and straight). But, I don't judge how others live their lives. I just want us all to be healthy and be here to enjoy the golden years. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01909623741866805635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-19605078732718178182014-01-24T20:43:58.144-05:002014-01-24T20:43:58.144-05:00Barebacking is russian roulette, plain and simple,...Barebacking is russian roulette, plain and simple, and too many people will wind up catching some form of venereal disease because they didn't use protection, not to mention all the unnecessary pregnancies that happen.

In my opinion it is a workplace hazard, and I would think it should fall under OSHA and health regulations, but I think it would be hard to enforce. Besides, you're right, there is a demand for it, otherwise porn companies would not be doing it, so they would just find somewhere else to make the videos. HIV/AIDS became a reality when I was just a kid, and since my mother was a public health nurse, she instilled a certain fear of the virus in me. I've never really known a world without it, and though the drugs prolong life, it is still eventually a death sentence and the drugs also decrease the quality of life, so I think it is just too risky. These videos show a fantasy, yes, but it's a fantasy that many want to live out.<br /><br />Sean, medical professionals agree that if you are HIV positive and become infected by a different strain of the virus (each is unique) then you run the risk of creating a virus that is more resistant to medication. As for Falcon photoshopping out the condoms, the main problem I have with it is that it sends the wrong message. It leaves the appearance that condoms aren't being used, which for a major studio like Falcon to do so, the perception might just be that barebacking safe and is okay. The cum scenes will be drastically different because as barebacking increases in porn, they are getting edgier and edgier with creampies and so forth.<br /><br />RB, I wouldn't say obsessed, but fascinated by the story and thought it would make a thought-provoking post. When I wrote Monday's post, I assumed that would be the end of it. However, when he was allowed back in school, I wanted to do a follow-up. Today's post was suggested by Sean in one of his comments, and I just went with it. I did find it interesting how there was a contrast in the gay media's coverage of the story and the mainstream media's coverage of the story when it came to Noel performing bareback porn. You are right there is a large amount of gay porn out there. In fact since we have become more and more connected to the internet, the truly vast amount of porn (straight and gay and everything else) that is out there for consumption. I'm not for sure how they stay in business either with all the competition and the amount of free porn. Part of it is the quality of the porn most of the studios produce and the variety of porn they produce. Furthermore, porn itself is become more and more mainstream.<br /><br />Jay, just as Sean said, there are other diseases out there such as HepC, and I have always been particularly careful about other STDs because I am highly allergic to most antibiotics. I'd be screwed no matter what I got. I hope these guys like Noel aren't catching anything either for their well-paid play. Furthermore, I don't know how stringent these studios actually are about testing, but they should also be making sure that they are educating their models on the dangers. I suspect they are not.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299122685163501819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-34269935284084657992014-01-24T19:40:05.653-05:002014-01-24T19:40:05.653-05:00Boy, RB, you make a lot of sense. I don't thin...Boy, RB, you make a lot of sense. I don't think I've ever paid for porn. But it's big business. There's a site called Broke Straight Guys, and the cameraman/director/owner talks to the young men first, and offers them $800-1000 or more for a scene lasting 15-20 minutes, and always with condoms. Think how many times that video alone has to be "sold" or how many memberships to a website must be sold to make it back up? And he must be selling them, as low budget as these videos are.<br /><br />In my teens, bareback was the only way, but way back then, there was no HIV/AIDS to worry about, and penicillin cured the rest. I can't imagine performing in porn (or having any sex)without a condom, top or bottom (especially bottom). Testing, as you mention, is no panacea, nor a true preventive. I truly hope that guys like Noel don't catch <i>anything</i> from their well-paid play.<br /><br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-53801471159743744692014-01-24T18:36:12.535-05:002014-01-24T18:36:12.535-05:00I think you're obsessed with Noel. Maybe you ...I think you're obsessed with Noel. Maybe you should apply for a teaching job in Cocoa Beach?<br /><br />Here's a topic for another post: the absolutely staggering amount of gay porn out there. It's astounding. How do <10% of the people account for 90% of the porn? At least is seems that way. So many guys are in this business. You can watch 100 or more vids and never see the same guy! What's interesting is the amount of gay porn is increasing, but I don't know anyone who pays for it. There's so much online for free I don't know how these studios say in business. I never spent much money on porn, but it's probably zero for the last ten years.RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17761591668246881356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-15553489128596449842014-01-24T11:45:46.285-05:002014-01-24T11:45:46.285-05:00Coop - in 2013 some cities in CA, and CA it's...Coop - in 2013 some cities in CA, and CA it's self, tried to mandate condom use for all pornos but the industry has resisted (mostly straight) and it's easy enough for them to move production to other states.

I thought studios began doing bb prone because HIV+ actors became available. Remember how there was an up roar about using such healthy looking models in the HIV meds ads? If you were already + then why use condoms? Of course now you have HepC as being a bigger heath risk then HIV and you still have all the other STD's.<br /><br />As for photoshopping the condoms - Falcon will do better because of it and it shouldn't change the look of their cum scenes but their cum scenes will still be drastically different then those of actual bb pornos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
