But I am not out to ask a government to force its view on the porn film industry. The film-makers’ callous disregard for their stars’ health and well-being and also the stars’ own foolish disregard for their well-being will reap a bitter harvest of its own.

But I should have a choice in knowingly buying 100% condom-use films same as the next guy should have the right to knowingly buy barebacking films.

My dollar will reward the decent film maker who cares enough about his stars to have them wear condoms and will reward the stars who care enough about themselves and about their partners to willingly and gladly wear a condom each time before anal sex.

I am not interested in watching revolting “party before you get sick and die” bareback porn movies. Any such movies I accidentally buy will go in the next trash collection to the county incinerator or landfill and I will accept no more brochures in the mail from any company that also makes or markets barebacking movies. Such things and such movies are not allowed in my house.

I don’t know, maybe this seems too obvious but I’ll give it a try. If you don’t like something, then don’t watch it instead of trying to force your feelings about said thing unto other people. I know that might be a radical thought for some of you, but just try it out and see if you like it.

As for the actors, well they know the risks going in. If for some reason they didn’t then that would be a different story, but for the most part they do. No one is forcing them to do anything.

From a purely physical standpoint, almost all gay men who enjoy intercourse would rather bareback. Period! (Even if it’s not politically correct to say so). So, it makes more sense to me that AIDS prevention efforts should assist gay men in doing what they are driven to do naturally…bareback. They can do this by helping men to make decisions about how to get the barebacking they want at a risk level that is acceptable to them. On the least risk-aversive side of the continuum, you have 1) rubbers until you find a partner, 2) after 3 months of rubber use, test to ensure that you’re of mutual HIV status, 3) bareback with just each other! And others may think through ways of barebacking that involve incrementally more risk…and individuals chose for themselves what is acceptable to them.

Note that the “do it only with a monogamous partner” option is right in line with common advice given by AIDS prevention groups since the late eighties–maybe earlier–but it’s framed as “how to get to the barebacking you really want!” instead of “don’t you dare bareback! rubbers all the time…be safe!!!”

I believe in health. I believe in ending (even better, curing) HIV and AIDs.

But I also believe in the First Amendment, and I also believe in the rights of performers and viewers to see what they wish, uncensored by people who wish to dictate the social policies and viewing materials of the American public.

Enough, already! They’re doing monthly testing. It’s not the performers you’re worried about, be honest – you wish to supress bareback sex, period.

Not your right. It is one more invasion into my, and millions of other Americans’, privacy.

How’s this for an idea? The only flicks I will allow in my house are ones where the actors are protecting themselves and their partners and taking responsibility for their health and well-being. If you market barebacking which is your right, know that I will keep you at a far distance by simply not bringing your barebacking films into my house. I feel revulsion not fantasy at beautiful young men putting their health in harm’s way for lack of a condom aka preservative in some European languages. (like in preserving and saving your health) To me Russian roulette and barebacking are simular. You don’t know exactly from whom your sexually transmitted disease or HIV/AIDS is coming from if you screw and get screwed always unprotected. Same as you gamble with that revolver up the side of your head. Not quite knowing from which chamber in the gun that bullet which enters your head is coming from.

Watching a barebacking film to me is like watching a man commit slow suicide. Because he is doing again and again with this man and that. When he is having unprotected sex with this guy and that guy it is the same as having sex with all this or that guy’s previous partners. Because it is not always known just from whom this virus or that came from and just many men were infected.

Watching a barebacking flick is also like watching guys happily partying before they get sick and maybe die. There is still no cure or vaccine for HIV and AIDS and if you don’t get those there are other STDs to acquire from unprotected sex.

If we shouldn’t police the porn producers, then I will vote with my dollar and banish those films from my TV that are comdonless. I have plenty of films with porn stars wearing condoms.

I want to see condoms on the men in the films I buy EVERY TIME before anal sex because it’s a sign that someone cares about both having fun and retaining good health at the same time.

Here’s part of the problem, folks should be getting sex ed at home and in sex ed class at school.

Watching unprotected sex could prompt them to be careless during sex acts, he said.

Drinking alcohol or doing drugs can also lead to unprotected sex as well as just not giving a shit!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the folks making the porn movies adults?

More regulating of one’s body. This is just another little effort to sneak more government into our personal lives.

I don’t mean to sound cruel, but if you are getting your ‘sex education’ from porn movies……..Darwinism is definitely doing its thing.

And I do not agree, Wayne. It is not porn producers job to ‘make you sexually safe”. That is YOUR job. No one has a gun to your head to go into porn or to accept having unprotected sex with a near-stranger.

If you want to work in the industry – then bring your own condoms and insist on using one. And if they forbid it, walk out the door and work somewhere else.

After all, there has to be SOME POINT where people are responsible for their own actions – and sexual safety.
