Bareback Porn And Unprotected Sex
I was introduced to barebacking through my own natural instinct and not through bareback porn. – Brad Berrigan.
If you browse through internet forums and discussion boards, you may find conversations where some people believe that bareback pornography encourages unprotected sex, which then leads to an increase in the spread of sexually transmitted infections between men who have sex with men. This article offers my own personal views and I welcome the views of everyone on this topic so we can get a well-rounded viewpoint. You can provide your own personal comments and participate in the poll at the end of this article.
It is my belief that bareback porn does not encourage the majority of men to have unprotected sexual experiences, but it could lead to some men engaging in bareback sex. As some people can be unpredictable and do unpredictable things, it is not possible to make a statement to include everyone and for this reason I am only referring to the majority of men. Those who watch bareback porn will have their own reasons for doing so and a future article will explore this issue in more detail. Some men may consider bareback porn as their form of protection, because it gives them enough of the bareback experience that they don’t need to have unprotected sex in real-life.
Bareback porn is created for entertainment purposes, between consenting adults who have made the decision to avoid using condoms during their sexual encounters on camera. For men who consider bareback sex hot to watch, but too risky to participate in reality, bareback porn is the perfect solution for them and provides a release so they don’t have to personally engage in unprotected sex. Some men who watch bareback porn only use condoms when they have sex in their own lives, so some viewers of bareback porn are not even barebackers.
Many men who watch bareback porn may also engage in unprotected sex, but this does not mean that bareback pornography enticed them to engage in unprotected sex. A lot of barebackers consider bareback porn as their way to keep themselves warm in between their own sexual encounters, whether it be with a partner, fuck buddy, group or casual sex setting or an accompaniment for something they enjoy. Bareback porn can also be considered an enhancement to some people’s sex lives, where it gives them some extra heat which they can use in their sexual relationships with a partner.
A number of bareback porn producers offer HIV testing prior to performances taking place, or at least discuss sexual health as part of their intake processes. Each studio has its own policies and guidelines when it comes to how they handle sexual health matters, but it comes down to the fact that models are in a more controlled environment when they perform on film, although it is not perfectly safe and there are still risks involved. Many videos come with a health warning which is usually displayed at the beginning of the video to advise viewers that the production has been made as a fantasy and warns of the risks associated with barebacking and many websites also include a similar notice.
I believe that if bareback pornography happened to be abolished or was no longer made available, then more gay and bisexual men would then feel the need to go out and actually have unprotected sex to satisfy their need for bareback encounters, because their needs could no longer be met through bareback porn. This would then increase the risky situations these men would be putting themselves in and as a result, the likelihood of sexually transmitted infections would increase, rather than decrease because of the flow-on effect.
I consider that bareback porn has an important place in society, as it provides a service to those who watch it. Watching bareback porn does not mean that a person who only has safer sex in their lives will then go out and start engaging in unprotected sex, if that were the case, then television networks would need to eliminate a large majority of television programming which includes themes such as violence. You could easily compare watching a television program with bareback porn. Viewers generally don’t go out and do exactly what they see on television – some might, but the majority just watch programs for entertainment and this is the comparison I’m making here.
It all comes down to commonsense and the need for bareback porn to exist so it can provide a service for men who watch it to take care of their sexual needs, which is what it is designed to do. I have unprotected sex with my partner and I watch bareback porn too, but watching bareback porn does not make me want to go out and have bareback sex with a bunch of men. I also started barebacking before I started watching bareback porn, so I was introduced to barebacking through my own natural instinct and not through bareback porn.

I would say, the core issue is not whether bareback porn induces unprotected sex.
The real issue we porn consumers have to think about is is it just to put those porn stars in a risky situation to fulfill our sex fantasy, especially if you would appreciate porn star as a profession.
Don’t make me wrong; I did watch bareback video. But sometimes this moral or political idea intruded my brain when I watched the bareback porns. Yet to be honest, I’ve got seen no porn (either bareback nor condom) for a couple months~
You have raised an interesting point about the health of performers in bareback videos and this is a topic which will be featured in a future article. Some bareback porn studios require that their performers be tested for HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infections prior to engaging in bareback sex, while other studios may not offer testing or serosorting options for their performers. The risks involved in producing bareback porn are definitely relevant for both performers and consumers and the planned article will cover both aspects. I appreciate you taking the time to provide your comments. ~ Brad (Webmaster).
I’ll buy the argument about putting the porn models in danger when the same people refuse to watch mainstream movies that use stuntmen, and when they refuse on principle to watch extreme sports, and when they campaign for skateboarding, Formula One racing, and boxing to be banned.
My point is twofold: 1) People taking risks on camera for the enjoyment of those who don’t is something with a long tradition in our society. 2) The risks are not as great as they appear. Most stuntmen don’t die, and most bareback performers don’t seroconvert as a result of performing.
Hey there and thanks for your comment. It’s great to hear your views about this topic and you have included some interesting comparisons for us to consider as well. I have already started working on an article about bareback models and I appreciate what you have to say on this subject. Thanks again!
