Why has there been a resurgence of bareback gay porn over the last several years? Throughout the late 80's and through the 90's condoms were used in almost all gay adult films. Because of the AIDS epidemic, bareback films were frowned upon. But now into the 2000's, there has been a huge resurgence of bareback gay porn, DVD's and websites.
Is it some kind of [gay] societal rebellion underway against safe sex? |

Excellent question Jason. Interestingly enough, a similar question was posted to me on my blog. While I cannot provide a simple answer as to WHY the resurgence of bareback porn, I can tell you that it remains a controversial topic within the gay men’s community; particularly the leather/kink community; and shed some light on the situation. While some in our community feel that bareback has no place in community events such as International Mr. Leather contest, Folsom Street Fair or Gay Pride celebrations, others view barebacking as a form of Risk Aware Consensual Kink (RACK). This topic continues to generate controversy whenever it is brought-up.
The leather/kink community was one of the first and hardest hit communities since the HIV/AIDS epidemic. As a result, we have lost a generation of men whose knowledge and wisdom are irreplaceable. Many traditions were simply lost and on top of this, the leather/kink community face discrimination even within the gay community based on our sexual proclivities.
It used to be that you cannot watch porn without seeing condoms as a way for porn producers to promote sexual health amongst gay men. The general consensus was “if the porn stars did it, people would likely follow.” It worked for a while but let’s face it. Is it hot to put on a condom during sex? Are we thinking of safer sex while we are engaged in some activity that preoccupies most of our mind? I think not.
With the insurgence of stronger medication and combination therapy, the once feared disease that carried an immediate sentence is now somewhat manageable. Those that survived are now living longer and healthier than the dark days. Many of these survivors carry with them a strong sense of trust, honor and respect a leatherman’s unwritten code of honor. This left many who are interested in fitting into this lifestyle felt isolated and left out as they seek a sense of direction. Combined with poor self image and esteem, they gradually become gift seekers or those that want to be infected.
Is it hot to use a condom during sex? It can be when it is done right. Is it hot not to use a condom during sex? It can be. It’s all in the perspective. While everyone will agree that no sex is ever worth dying for but other than gift seekers/givers, who are we to judge others who practice safe/unsafe sex? It’s all about our own choice.
There is no right or wrong answer to this controversial question. Only personal experiences, choices and statistics which really doesn’t offer much insight. The larger problem we have in hand is our own self-image. Who are we? Why are we the way we are today? Why do we continue to do bad things to ourselves, and to the community?
Do I have the answer to all these questions? No. Do we have the answers to these questions as a collective? Yes!
Thank you for posting this question so we can start engaging in this process of dialogue! I hope I have shed some light on this controversial and erotic topic. |
Do actors who go bareback in gay porn get paid more then non bareback actors? Having just read an article about the rise of bareback porn in the industry I am wondering whether actors get paid more to bareback - I am not debating the ethics of it - just wondering whether this is the case...
Unfortunately any googling I do about the subject gets blocked - courtesy of the social and religious values of the UAE - so I would find this myself however hoping someone can shed some light. |
I have never paid for porn but look at what I can find for free....and prefer natural (bareback). There seems to be more natural lately: one of my fav sites is Treasure Island and it's mostly older guys, very uninhibited, multiples, etc. and I'm guessing they are either already HIV+ or don't care. Then there are younger guys mainly Euro/Russian twinks who seem OK with it. I know in the USA the porn industry makes a show of testing performers, but I don't see how that could be reliable: too many partners for a test to be timely.
I would think a guy - specially a younger - willing to take loads would get paid more.....but....I'm confused by a lot of supposed "bareback" vids: they play without a condom, do anal bare for a while, but don't actually take the load: Top pulls out then jacks and gives the guy a facial, etc. Is that because they want to show the shot on cam.......or do they think that is safer???? I would think that with all they have done, they've already exposed themselves to risk even if the "money shot" is on cam......seeing a guy take it in him is more of a turn-on to me than seeing it wasted. |
Do you have any idea why josh weston did some bareback gay porn? i know pornstars doing bareback are HIV+ just a thought if he is poz... |
| I don't watch gay porn, only lesbians, so I never heard of him till I saw you're question, and I Google-Image his name. According to this link below, bareback is safe if both participants are free of any STD. If I were to participate in making a porn film, I'd insist on seeing a medical STD test report on everyone I'm filming with. I speculate that if these people are truly "professional," they would insist on medical exams a week before the film shoot, and everyone would agree on abstinence till they start shooting, unless its with a monogamous partner they trust. Course, this is pure speculation on my part. If these people are careless and don't do a medical exam before shooting, or practice safe-sex while filming, then they deserve to pickup STD, including AIDS. They should've known the risk !! |
Gay porn stars... (ADULTS ONLY only read if 18+)? Hi.. sorry it is a bit rude but im a bit puzzled..
when gay porn stars are having bareback anal sex..
how come they are always clean when they pull out. Me and my partner never are as we always have slightly brown penises after it LOL
again sorry its a bit rude but we are just puzzled.
Appreciate the answers |
| In almost all anal sex scenes in pornography, whether gay or straight, the partner being penetrated is given an enema (or several) beforehand to make sure that there are no accidents. In some cases the person being penetrated also doesn't eat for 24 hours prior to filming. In real life most people don't do this, but it's a shock for some people the first time because they don't realize that there's actually poop in the butt! |
To gay men(top & bottom), do you bareback? If yes, how often? Was it by "accident"? Did the other person know? If you're hooking up, how do you choose who to bareback with? For bottoms, do you like the guy to *** in you? If top, do you like to shoot in the guy? Do you watch bareback porn but not have bareback sex? I'd really appreciate explicit details but not just on the questions I'm asking. Any scenario/incident involving bareback sex would be great too. I'm doing a survey about gay men's sexual practices for my class. I need complete honesty, please don't withold any details. Thank you! |
| No, it's too risky. I do enjoy some barebacking pron at times, but it's their risk for doing so. |
Real Gay Porn Question???????????????????? i just saw falcons fleet week and i wanted to know, why did jude collins use a condom if he shot his load in erik rhodes mouth? why would some porn vids f*** bareback but then NOT shoot in the other guys mouth? i was also told that HIV CANNOT LIVE OUTSIDE THE BODY on The Doctors , so....HYPOTHETICALLY
if John has HIV, shoots on Tim's chest(out of body) and Tim eats John's load after a few seconds(now in Tim's body), can Tim still get the virus? does it like...Reactivate or something? |
| He may have used a condom because Erik didn't feel "clean" that day. The virus can't survive in the stomach but can enter through cuts in the mouth. Keep in mind that what looks like one smooth f*ck scene is actually hours of video that has been cut and edited for effect. The loads you see may actually be someone else who is there just for that talent, i.e., lots of volume. |
Where can I find free full length gay porn? See i ben using gaymaletube.com cuz it got tons of links from a bunch of websites catigorized (i.e. black, twink, bareback and hard core.) And it's convinent fo a gasta like me. But this new anti virus software that i got is tellen me that they'is some "malicious" bull crap that may harm my computer. I've tried a few safe websites like pornotube.com and gaytube.com but they'is too random and they'is only preview. How the fnck is a girl gonna jack off and be satisfied with only 3 minutes of a 30 minute video anyway?
So any'all biches and hoes' know a good website with free full lenth gay porn that wont harm my computer? |
| instead of video i suggest finding a girlfriend/boyfriend. |
Porn turn off..?? I always refer myself as a Bi guy.. i always watch gay porn (not bareback, just oral).. and i really is turn on by that! in other way, i love to see straight porn too, but its not that fun again.. so thats why i move to gay.. (no offense)
but pretty much from last week, i find myself drooling over Lesbian porn, two women playing them self, makes me more turn on then previous other porns..
so what that makes me?? still Bi or Straight??
btw, im a 20 y/o guy.. Thanx! |
It's simple for me. I think it makes you bi, if you truly get aroused by two women getting it on, just like watching two men.
I'm gay but watch a lot of heterosexual porn. I can honestly say my eyes are focused on what the men are doing, not the women in straight porn |
How much do gay pornstars make a sence? ok im 18 and looking to do gay porn m4m and how much would i make a shoot and how do i get started and how do i hold a relationship? but whats are so amounts i would make doing bareback and then with condome and stuff how much would i make plezzz help |
| Umm..Hello Don have you read todays article? on how..In the state of California Porn Stars are not forced to wear condoms..And that they have 22 new HIV/Aids cases since 2004... have been linked to gay porn..I understand you want to make money and enjoy sex...But is it worth your life??? |
Is it just me or is the show WildBoyz on MTV some kind of gay/homo thing? I used to really like Jackass so I thought I'd check out WildBoyz. I watched it and though, how gay. You always see them getting naked in front of each other and being really close to each other while naked. Like riding bareback on a horse with a G-String on. Very suspect to me. I dunno. Very brokeback mountain-ish. I'm not a homophobe or anything, but I'm not down with gay porn either. What's up with that? What do u think about the show? |
| hmmm. i don't watch it. i think i tried but it was pretty dumb. don't remember if i thought it was faggled out or not... more than anything, i think they are constantly buzzed, so their actions do not seem odd to each other... |
