Also, many porn stars escort and there are numerous rumors that for the right price they will bareback?

We know nothing about their personal lives, so how do we know they don’t bareback when they are not in front of the cameras?

Many porn stars have blogs. There have been many instances where they have mentioned people having bareback sex on sets. They have also mentioned being at parties/clubs having bareback sex with numerous people.

No matter what you producers say your performers are doing what they want when they are not being filmed. You can preach about the evils of bareback sex and the companies that produce it, but people are going to do what they want…including the guys you are hiring to perform in your condom only movies.

Answer me this. How do major stars like Carlos Morales, Eric York, and Josh Weston end up working for bareback companies when they were still getting work with condom companies if they aren’t already HIV+ and if they are already HIV+, how did they become HIV+ while working in the industry?

Don’t get me wrong I don’t want them to include Bareback( I have predicted that this biz will be mostly BB by 2009)

I want them to be inclusive and invite the Online World to the GayVN table!

Gee, what would some of those categories be?…The Best HIV Carrier Award; or the best Three-way Infection Award; or perhaps even, the Best Anal Warts Award?

And no need for a Lifetime Achievement Award, because most bareback actors don’t live too long anyway.

That wasn’t meant to be funny or in bad taste. I was just trying to point out the absurdity of the idea that the GayVNs should be known as the Safe Sex DVD Producers Awards.

My problem with GayVN they only represent about 40% of Gay Porn! Bareback I understand the exclusion but what about the Online Sites (Sean Cody,Corbin,Chaosmen etc)

GayVN should be known as the Safe Sex DVD producers Awards that is all they represent!

So, it’s hard to justify a real distinction there IMO; the fact of a bad act being a crime gives it a pre-trial window of opportunity for getting a GAYVN award.

El Rancho contains marketing notes and even a disclaimer at the movie’s beginning stating that one scene is bareback. There’s nothing sneaky about it, except that it is a fabulous movie.

But then going through the GayVN nomination list that I printed out off their website several weeks ago includes movies that were released in 2006 and 2005 — plus under Best Oral Scene, Raging Stallion’s GRUNTS is listed followed by a cast of Titan models.

In a “civilized” society, cars or motorcycles would not exist because of their negative effects of the environment among other factors.

None! I seriously don’t know what makes condom mafia think that people who don’t accept the best tools out there of avoiding disease – abstinence, monogamy preceded by disclosure and testing, and if need be, (relationships where one or both parties has a disease) alternative sex practices, think people are going to follow their advise to wear a condom. It’s insane logic. Stop making excuses for people who don’t change their behavior and acting as if some artificial barrier is going to provide a permanent fix to a serious problem.

The entire equation changes when you are paying people to perform dangerous sex acts and you are commercially exploiting those acts for profit.

In a civilized society we do not risk the lives and well being of others just to make a quick buck…even if the person is willing to do so for money. At the very least we must do whatever we can to mitigate the dangers when we are paying people to perform potentially dangerous sex acts.

We require drivers to wear seat belts. We require miners to wear helmets and other safety equipement. There are plenty of people desperate enough for money or too stupid for their own good that would work without a helmet or safety equipment. But, in a civilized society we do not allow them to risk their health/lives for our profit and entertainment.

The entire equation changes when you are paying people to perform dangerous sex acts and your are commericlaly expoliting those acts for profit.

The same goes for the scene in “El Rancho” by Kristen Bjorn, the scene Anonymous at 8.46 is thinking of. That too has been disqualified. The Jarics’ scene in “Endless Crush” is not bareback.

To Lee at 11.07, what about when people are too stupid, selfish or soulless to modify their behaviour? Are you suggesting condoms have no use at all?

I am with Peter Z, Chi Chi and GayVN all the way on this one. I will grant that GayVN should have caught this long before the film was nominated, but at least it was caught eventually, and they took the appropriate action.
