Legislating safe sex will only heighten the appeal of bareback sex (and sites offering it). Back in the early 90s the Canadian government tried to make us quit smoking by raising the price of a pack of cigarettes to over $6.00. So, entrepreneurs went to the Indian Reservations, bought the cigs cheap, and sold them on the black market for $3.00 a pack.

I feature a number of barebacking galleries on my site, I also feature a link to a discussion about bareback sex, HIV transmission, and using condoms, as well as links to a number of AIDS service organizations around the world.

I understand where you're coming from, Lee. If we promote sites where people are getting beat up and then fucked, somehow that sneaks out to the public consciousness that it's okay. But we've proved time and again that legislating certain kinds of behaviour often just empowers the underground community to supply it.

Talk, talk, talk. That's the key to safer sex. People need to talk about it and hear about it. Ultimately, everyone makes up their own minds about their safer sex practices based on a whole bunch of things.

And legislating one element of the sexual act could lead us down the slippery slope towards a stronger censorship. If we pass this one, what's to stop another assemblyman from deciding that something else should be illegal.
