To be fair to the bareback producers, it is definitely true that quite a few of the models we speak with will admit to having barebacked (in their private life) at least occasionally, so I could see that they would be willing to have extra money waved in their face to get them to bareback.
My problem is mostly with the lack of honest disclosure of risks. Once we explain the risks, the latency period, what it really means to have HIV (that it's not just "taking a few pills every day", which a lot of the twink models seem to think) and the notion that anyone willing to bareback on camera has probably done so pretty regularly off-camera and is therefore a higher risk for having one or more STIs, most of the models realize this is probably not something they want to risk. If bareback studios all explained the risks and the models were still gung ho for doing it, then an informed decision has been made. But when you see a number of models publicly changing their position on it, you pretty much have to assume they were not adequately informed in the first place.

I always felt good about BB at miamistudios because they were very careful about testing, and the great majority of guys I was with were military. Still, my brother did it once, didn't feel comfortable, didn't do it again, and went on to have a long career with the company in condom films, perhaps the best system of all ?
