The guy in the third clip that Chip is talking about is Michel Lozier, founder of maleflixxx. From what I understand, it's the Canadian laws that prevent maleflixxx from accepting bareback movies. However, that doesn't mean that if that weren't the law, the people at maleflixxx wouldn't have come to the same decision. I do question that though, consider the AEBN and Hot Movies both have bareback, so the pressure is on.

I'm still trying to figure out where I stand on this issue. It was definetly helpful to hear the views of Chi Chi, Michael Lucas, and the others. I think Micahel Lucas is way off when he says that bareback models all look gross, tired, and on drugs. I've seen some pretty hot guys do bareback lately.

Once I was producing/directing a movie, and two days prior to the shoot, one of the models called and said that his test had come back positive. He'd done bareback for several studios. He said it so matter of factly, like it was no big deal. I asked him how he felt about it, and he said it didn't surprise him, and that "I guess I'll have to go to the doctor or something eventually". This was very disturbing to me. I had to recast, because understandably, the other talent refused to work with him. However, since then I've seen him doing bareback in several videos shot since then.

I have to admit that the first video I ever released has a bareback scene. It was a couple who's been together for two years, so they bareback anyways. I started the scene with an interview where they clearly explain they're a couple.

I absolutely believe that gay men should not be barebacking unless they're in a long term monogomous relationship. However, I think that there may actually be a place in gay porn for bareback, if done correctly. I'm still trying to sort this out, but here's what I'm thinking. Like most movies, porn is about fantasy. You see stuff in movies and on TV everyday that you would never do in real life, and you know it's just a movie. And the stunt men you see on screen really are taking risks. Could it be possible that allowing people to watch their fantasy of bareback in a fictional movie could actually help prevent them from doing it in real life? Probably not, but you know how people always want what they can't have?

I don't know. It's very complicated.
