[Paul Morris] Three Positives + A Negative?

[rawbottom1963]

Men DO NOT clearly understand that Bareback Porn is a fantasy product. I, for one, want to do the same thing I see in a porn video, almost exactly, in "time." And I have. Bareback porn taught me nasty tricks (and words) ["breed me"] that I can keep in my quiver, if I want. Bareback Porn has given men confidence to leave the condoms at home. It's necessary that we face this fact, and talk about it to "our children."
I support the rest of your reply.

I'm not disputing your right to have or express an opinion. But your precise wording crossed a few slight technical lines which may expose you to severe legal liability. Would, should, if, is and did are not words that can be used interchangeably in court.

I could write pages explaining it, which I'm sure none of your readers want to sift through. But I would suggest that you consult a lawyer if you want to avoid the risk of future lawsuits. At the very least, look up 'libel and slander' on Wikipedia, especially the sections on defamation per se, personal injury, and privacy.


In a moral (non-legal) sense, I would have to defend your right to publish your own opinion just as strongly as I would protect my own right to privacy. Some people prefer to exercise that right by signing a contract with a film studio that does not disclose HIV status. Others prefer to wear a mask when they fuck bareback on youtube and write blogs about it.

The concepts of fat, skinny, healthy or unhealthy are just as subjective to the reader as they are to the writer. But faces, names and viral loads can be uncomfortably specific when they are exposed without permission...

We live in an age when it's sometimes too difficult to tell what's right and what's wrong. Even imagining ourselves in someone else's shoes can be a bad way to set our moral compass, because we impose our own opinions on other people's standards. But in the end, we are rarely afforded the ability to be the final judge of our own actions...

My thoughts exactly I don't watch a porn a ponder who might be poz and who might be neg I am more concerned with who is going to get fucked and who is going to be the one fucking. If wanted to think ab out HIV status I will go to the clinic and get tested, not put a porn on! Just remember when you ASSume you make and ass out of you and me. So assuming an actor in a TIM video is POZ just because it's a TIM video is being a bit presumptuous.

Sorry to beat the horse on this one, but there is another point to make. You are pretty well informed about HIV issues. Many of your readers are also quite well informed. But NEVER underestimate the overwhelming legions of people who admittedly know nothing about the subject, or are completely misinformed, or have studied the situation for years yet make decisions based entirely on emotions, convenience or opinion. Even the CDC is guilty of that much of the time.

Somewhere out there is some fool who will read this and make the assumption that because an 'unhealthy looking' person is supposedly poz, then that means that a 'healthy looking' person must be neg. Really, if you spend five minutes on Craigslist, you'll see that there are thousands of people who somehow assume that a wedding band is more effective against HIV-transmission than a miracle vaccine. Education on the topic is surely not your primary concern, but you'd be amazed at how many folks out there are completely lacking in knowledge on the subject.

RawTop, you've made several posts about discrimination based on skin color, so I assume you meant no harm in this. But is it really any better to make an assumption about somebody's health status based on their cheek structure, than it is to determine a person's work ethic based on their skin color or their education based on their accent? Even though T.I.M. does not /disclose/ their actors' HIV status, that does not mean that they don't sero-sort prior to filming... so even an actor's on-screen activities are no guarantee of being poz or neg. While they do dance around the issue, it's because they specialize in the same thing you do: barebacking. You address HIV, they don't (publicly), and that's fine in both cases. We all need a little fantasy and a little reality, and the ability to choose between them at the appropriate times.

[goodboygonebad]

it's just fantasy. The actors are playing roles. The young "innocent" clean bottom and the weathered experienced tops who look like they've been barebacking a while and can teach a few things to the bottom.. I always imagine the bb porns as breeding the never been fucked bare before bottom. I imagine myself that way too.

I'm sure TIM has legal issues to contend with. Now if they want to blindfold me or put me in a sling and let 10 guys or more blow in me... I will do it for free just need a plane ticket and a night in a hotel.

I'll bottom and if people want to think of me as neg or poz I don't care it's all good

"Paul is working on a video that’s going to feature nothing but poz men. But this wasn’t it. Whether any or all of these men are poz neg martian or whatever is their business and their business only. And for the record whether you’re poz or neg you can be perfectly healthy and happy or a total fucked-up wreck. It ain’t the bug anymore."

Any idea when this vid will be out?

Sounds hot! I love it if they have biohazard tattoos. I would love to have one but my gay bro doesn't know about me yet and if I got it he would know for sure.

I absolutely love getting fucked by guys with those tattoos! Can't wait for the all poz guys video.

[bgw2bf]

I love knowing that some of Treasure Island uses poz guys in their movies. I became hooked on their stuff ever since I saw "Knocked Up" and wish they could make some vids that show actual conversion parties, complete with gifting talk.

[DickMann859]

Yeah , there's a scene in Bone Deep where the bottom who is fucked by a room full of men has a BIG bio tat on his stomach. It would be a hot scene even without the tat but that just makes it hotter.

Compared to the guys of other media companies the guys in TIM appear and or are 1) Out of shape and in on form attractive 2) Drugged up (Usually the bottoms lays there as if he is in a G comma 3) The same guys are used over and over. 4) the videos have become predictable

It's interesting that you put it that way because my personal taste in porn is for bareback videos with the kind of guys that you'd be likely to run into at your local bar on a weekend. Not trolls necessarily, but decent looking guys who are in the video at least as much to have fun as to make a career of it. Personally, I'm not really a fan of guys with really low body fat, but I think that's because on the few occasions I've had sex with someone like that, as attractive as the guy may look, his body just feels wrong to me. I've actually found sex with guys like that a bit disconcerting.

One thing I do like about TIM is that many of their guys are not what I'd call conventionally attractive (i.e. not young, skinny, sculpted twinks, not gym-built leather muscle daddies, etc.). Many of their hottest models, IMO, probably wouldn't even be considered by any of the mainstream adult studios.

I definitely agree that obviously drugged up bottoms aren't as fun to watch. Personally, I like porn where everyone in the scene is very obviously into the sex for its own sake, and where it looks like they've completely forgotten that the cameras are even there, which feeds into your fourth point: I hate, hate, hate obviously scripted scenes, where it's clear that the director is having the models step through the sex (1. You suck him, 2. he sucks you, 3. you eat his ass, 4. you fuck him missionary, etc.).

My favorite kind of porn is where the guys have been given general guidelines but basically told to enjoy themselves and the cameras capture whatever happens. Obviously, you need models with some awareness of the needs of the director (make sure the camera has a clear view of the action; make sure there's plenty of footage of the kind of action needed, etc.), but you can really tell the difference when the camera's catching more spontaneous sex. Granted, there's also only so much that two guys can do together without getting too kinky for the mainstream. I think it's hard to make one-on-one sex scenes stimulating because it's been done so many times. That may be why I tend to get off on group scenes more.

As for using the same guys over and over again, well yeah, it's always great to see some new faces, but some models do get their fans who want to see them over and over again. I don't think TIM is too far out of the mainstream when it comes to the balance between their regulars and their new faces; they have one or two guys I wouldn't mind seeing again.

I guess in short my point is that my own taste in porn goes more towards scenes that actually look like something I might personally find myself getting into in the real world. I don't want to see some idealized, unattainable fantasy on the screen; I want to see something that reflects that things that I like to do (and maybe pushes the envelope for me a bit) with the kind of guys that I might get involved with on a really good night.

[DickMann859]

I wonder if Shaytan watches the same TIM vids that I do. If Christian is his idea of a drugged up bottom I'd like to know what an undrugged one is like. As for the guys being 'old' or out of shape, they look like real men not some picture perfect queer that is so impressed with his own looks that he can only get off by fucking with himself. Some guys get off on the perfect twink, fine for them but give me the rough edge maybe with a bit of a belly and old enough to know what his dick is all about and how to use it.

actually, many experts have suggested that ALL "aids" symptoms are drug-induced(both "party" drugs and toxic "meds")i have done 15 adult movies(all str8)as mark beast and TRIED to educate people in the industry but i dont know how effective those efforts were...

Not quite... Left unmedicated, people with AIDS die. With meds, they live a long time, but there can be physical manifestations like lipodystrophy where people look gaunt in the face, but get bellies or fatty humps at the base of their neck.

The "virus myth" crowd is pretty much completely discredited these days. There's tons and tons of science showing they're completely wrong. Still, I'm not part of the "better living through chemistry" and think drugs should be taken carefully because they can have negative side effects. Drugs like AZT kept people alive, but the damage those drugs did can cause serious problems (including death) down the road. Luckily drugs are better these days, but still there may be bad side effects - even from modern drugs.

[MarkVonBeast]

that just isnt true....aids drugs kill and no one should take any ov them, ever...thee illusion that they are prolonging lives comes from two things...thee "meds" used now are sleightly less toxic than azt and so take a bit longer to kill people AND they are now poisoning healthy people rather than waiting until people are nearly dead to start "medicating" them...it takes longer to poison a healthy person than it does to poison someone already more dead than alive...i have studied this subject with thee experts for more than 20 years and i am a doctor(reiki master) myself..that being said, i find chasing/gifting/conversion VERY hot...it is total submission...but its just a fantasy...there is no "aids virus"

[DickMann859]

When I do show poz I have made up my mind that I will not go on meds. Now the problem is turning up poz.
