Condom or Bareback?
-
I prefer bareback porn. And then I somerimes feel guilty, because I read somewhere that gay porn actors in bareback are all HIV+ already, and that's why they no longer care about rubbers.
-
@fezobe That's just.... No, kid.
They're not ALL infected, and being infected is a reason for you to CARE MORE, not the othe way around. If you're doing porn you gotta be taking something for risk reduction, if you're neg you have to be on prep, if you're poz you have to be on antiretroviral therapy.
No one's doing porn bareback because they want to get infected or because they don't care, it's just a industry standard, and it's not because the industry don't care either, they do care and have tried to make condom scenes, some still do. They've tried making the condom magically appear on the guy's dick, they have tried inserting it bareback and then cut to another take where a condom is there so that people are less likely to notice or care for it, they've tried condoms with very thin rubberband, they've tried making the condoms have a bigger role in the eroticism of the scene composition...
It's just that people don't want to see it, they lose much less money testing actors for STI's than they'd lose doing condom scenes.

@ianfontinell I meant as a sort of a job requirement: if you're already infected, you have fewer things to be afraid, so you might as well move to bareback segment.
Also, I'm not working in porn, I'm only watching it.
And for me caring is pointless - I have little to no chance of getting sex either way, so the condoms are simply irrelevant to me. And I have no say in porn studios politics on the issue, to close the argument.
Yes, I'm aware I can get both HIV and regular STI through means other than sex, so I still get screened regularly, just to be on the safe side. -
I prefer bareback. My Dr has me on PREP
-
Bareback,,, Is there any other way?
Condom? What's a condom? Who uses condoms?
-
I would only do bareback when I'm on Prep and with someone I trust tbh
-
@bestfiction2 how do you trust someone who has unsafe sex occasionally doesn't have an STI? Genuine question.
-
I used to trust guys and bottom bareback but that was pretty much totally self destructive and super risky! I stopped and got on PrEP.
Now I have one partner so we bareback all the time. It's great.

Bareback is so much better than condoms. But condoms are safer. It is a very annoying dilemma
