I mentioned in an old post that seancody is one of the porn sites I check out regularly 'cuz I think the guys are always pretty hot. Anyway if you follow the site at all, you'll know they usually always have protected sex...which is a good thing and good example to be setting. Recently though they started having their first bareback scenes and I'm not really sure how I feel about that. Yes I've had my bareback experiences but I'm always filled with that insane paranoia afterwards and as a healthcare professional I certainly cannot advocate unsafe sex. I just don't really know how I feel about seancody now glamorizing their bareback vids like it's some sort of special occasion. It's definitely not setting a good example and just perpetuates the idea that bareback sex is somehow hotter than safe sex. Why is a condom so unsexy? What is so unsexy about wanting to stay healthy and protecting yourself from god knows what out there? ah the controversy...
....Truthfully though I do find something really hot about bareback sex. BUT ONLY WITH A MONOGAMOUS PARTNER.
Interesting thing is, I am always completely turned off when I see straight porn with condoms...My straight porn must be condom-less, anything else is just weird. Not really sure why I have that double-standard. I mean I would hope that straight porn also goes through vigorous testing to protect their models from disease, but I just care less about the example they're setting for straight folk. And obviously if straight porn can fuck bare and protect their models without them getting all diseased, then gay porn can take similar steps to protect their actors so what's the big deal if they fuck bare.
I dunno, I guess I just think gay guys are more impressionable and if the porn they watch is all bare they'll be more inclined not to wrap too. Am I totally being crazy about this?
Chaosmen is another site that is doing bareback now. In fact, they've been doing it for a while now. Chaosmen is probably the reason why SC started doing bareback as well. I agree, there is something really hot about bareback sex, maybe the intimacy of having it with a monogamous partner? At least that's my thought about it. Nonetheless, I'm turned on either way. One thing I would like to see consistently is the act of making safe sex sexy. They always seem to magically have a condom on. Maybe another reason by barebacking is sexy.
ReplyDeletePorn is a fantasy and while I agree that some weak willed people would be influenced to try barebacking cause they see it in porn, the strong and smart ones would know better that life is not a movie, and barebacking means taking reckless risks. All it takes is one slip and your life is changed forever.
ReplyDeleteA very thoughtful post. I'm somewhat new to anal sex, but I know what turns me on, and how I behave in certain situations.
ReplyDeleteI see more and more bareback stuff. I think maybe it sends a signal that it's okay. As for myself, I struggle with it.
I have no idea why, but I've had opportunities to bareback. Sometimes things just develop during the heat of the moment without preparation, and a couple times, I will admit that I've fallen victim to overwhelming lust of my libido.
Where a calm, rational "me" would say, "I don't fuck bareback", the horny, heat-of-the-moment me, is sticking his uncovered dick in some other guy's butt. Later of course is worse than guilt, it's remorse and worry.
The last encounter (I haven't blogged about it yet) I was actually pushing my dick in this dude's ass (whom I met on CL, and had known for all of 10 minutes) when a cooler head prevailed.
I'm ashamed to say, that cooler head was not mine, but the bottom dude's. He said, "wait, let's go upstairs, I have a condom up there."
Sometimes I just don't know what's wrong with me.
I wonder if it's watching all the bareback porn? (Is there anyone I can blame it on other than me?)
BB sex in porn is hot and turns me on too. Certainly Treasure Island have to be the kings of BB porn.
ReplyDeleteIn reality, though, it's a no-no for me and even though I love watching it, in the back of my mind I say, what are you young porn stars thinking?. As Jerry said, your life can be shattered in a moment of lust.
So, upon hearing this, I'm disappointed in Sean Cody too. Some of my favorite porn has come out of his shop. It seemed pure and innocent (especially the rare opportunities to see him in action on a guy).
Thanks for provoking me to think. :D
