   There is a reason in the old days before AC that Congress and Parliaments were absent in July and August. The heat and humidity induce irrational and plain insane thinking.

   I do hope everyone realizes if Aids Health Care gets there way the next step will be the complete shutdown of porn production in California. After all Other STD’s can be spread from Saliva, cum etc so a whole passel of Porn standbys must be BANNED.

   Kissing
   Rimming
   Cum on the face or Body of the other performer.

   All have a MINUSCULE and Infinitesimal chance of spreading an STD.

   According to the logic of AIDS Health Care they must all be labeled Dangerous practices and BANNED

   BY CALIFORNIA State Law!

   Say Good BY to California Porn Folks

   The Death Warrant has been signed!

   Of course I dont really care I have enough porn to last a lifetime!

   Nazis!

   The July-August phenomenon DeWayne refers to has long been known in politics as the ‘silly season’; and as far as I can see, the advent of AC hasn’t reduced the silliness one bit.

   Sometimes, I confess, I have difficulty in defining the line between government intervention/regulation and allowing individuals to take responsibility for their actions. For instance, I do think government is correct in insuring that performers are of legal age because of the nature of requiring informed consent on the part of the participants. But in this situation, there’s one thing that’s abundantly clear to me: If you give government the power to prohibit the making of bareback porn, then you’re also giving it the power to prohibit the making of gay porn or bisexual porn or threesomes anything else it deems to be ‘unsuitable’ or ‘unsafe’. And that’s a power that I just don’t think governments should have.

   Delusional thinking is a hallmark of humanity. At its best, its how we convince ourselves that we can go to the moon (40th anniversary this month and wow, how far we have NOT come since then… evolution of the internet and a black president being just about the only exceptions), at its worst, its the mind bending logic of denial. Denial that your drug addiction isn’t ruining your life, that your Ponzi scheme will somehow all turn out ok, and that its somehow acceptable for someone to profit from paying people to have unprotected sex on camera for profit. If we have anyone to blame for the potentially negative affects of our delusional thinking with respect to bareback porn, its ourselves. Of course the backlash will empower the haters. Of course it could damage the good guys as much as the bad ones. But apply that same subtle, fine-tuned, nuanced logic to the original question: is it in any way acceptable to put performers at risk for seroconversion by paying them to perform bareback.
