Safe Sex PSA

[Jack Scribe]

This public service announcement presentation is excellent. 'Ms." LaRue, a prominent gay porn producer, tackles the issue of unsafe "barebacking". http://www.towleroad.com/pages/safe-sex-is-hot-sex.html.

 

More of these frank, thought-provoking statements need to be seen and heard. HIV has dramatically risen over the past few years in the gay community.

That's great news! Finally a gay porn producer that says no to BB. BB has been gaining too much popularity in gay porn lately.

[Drewbie]

Yea, but many still does condom ones. Although like Hylas say it's gaining popularty again, many condom ones, like just downloadable sites, or buying dvd's

That was a great PSA. Personally, I think condoms should be required by law for all porn, gay or straight. There's no reason to risk lives like that.

I personally have seen a somewhat disturbing rise in unsafe sex practices... people want to do things that aren't safe, and it's not a good idea. Not just in the gay community, but especially the age range in question, 18-24.

 

I don't play unless there's a condom involved, basically because I'm scared senseless as far as HIV is concerned. I have seen an increase in guys who don't use condoms, which I see as a bit scary.

 

Also, anybody know a realistic figure on how long it takes for the HIV virus to become detectable? From what I've figured out by reading and talking to people, at the absolute most it could take up to six months, with 99% of people developing antibodies within three months. Tis kinda nifty how much better they've gotten about it, since back in the day it could easily go undetected for months, if not years, especially in cases of people who didn't ever develop symptoms.

Well, from what I understand, there's some very strict restriction for the porn actor, they got to be tested on very regular basis. In fact despite what people might think, those gay porn actor don't have much to worry about disease.

 

The point here is that,, It's not everyone that can make a cut from fantasy and reality. The truth is that if you get "example" of people doing it without condoms,, many will be tempted to do it without also. And we all should know that the risk is way to high on that...

I must interject that it really depends on where that film is being produced. Even in countries where there are regulations, for every regulation there's a way around it. Considering the nature of the work and that it'll take three weeks (or as little as twelve days), for testing to be accurate... still ain't worth risking it.
