I think this fashion show in China was actually sort of clever and the designs are pretty cool. Will it make Chinese use condoms more to prevent overpopulation and AIDS? I’m not so sure. Here’s an article with more pics. It reminds me a bit of how South Africa always tries to come up with idiotic new ways of getting people to use rubbers to tackle their AIDS problem, the worst one in the world. One was sending out a letter from the ...

We generally decide on what to post about here on Fleshbot by sticking to the maxim that what we include is just as important than what we leave out, which is why we generally don't post about bareback titles or performers around here: bitch and moan all you want about porn as fantasy and personal choice and hypocrisy or whatever, but we still think the fetishization of condomless sex is irresponsible and dangerous and not something we're intere...

Speaking of aggressive stupidity, how did I miss this story? I guess I tuned out the DC Madam scandals because grown men calling hookers doesn’t even begin to jiggle my outrageometer. Thus did I miss the stunning irony of the so-called “AIDS czar” resigning in disgrace for preaching abstinence while practicing commercial adultery. [...]

Like you, I am often enchanted by The Dance, taken far away by its intoxicating rhythms. So, apparently, are Brazilian transsexuals who, if you believe this title, suffer from samba mania. I am just about ready to bet money that there is not a single frame of dancing in this title which, for some reason, presupposes by the inclusion of "100% bareback" that there is a market for trannies-wearing-condom movies. Fearing for her health, I am not se...

There is some unfortunate news to report as Joe Romero, one of the most recognized faces (and bodies) from 1990s gay porn, has passed. According to GayVN and journalist JC Adams, the prolific pornstar, musician and performance artist who was born David Joseph Romero, passed on October 30 at his home in Manchester, New Hampshire. Romero was one of the first (if not the first) gay Latino pornstars and developed an incredible résumé of hundreds of f...

Condoms or no condoms? It's an important consideration whenever you're shooting porn and—in light of some recent HIV infections within the British gay porn industry—one that a few folks should give a little more thought to. In a piece for the "Bay Area Reporter," Bay Area reporter John Karr offers up "10 Steps to Barebacking Acceptable Practices", because we need all our little (and big) pornstars nice and healthy.

You know the story: Big-dicked boy becomes major 90s porn star; boy retires from porn industry; boy makes porn comeback; boy decides to make a bareback porn movie since he's getting paid "top dollar" to do so. (OK, so maybe Johnny Hanson's story isn't all that common ... but why does it seems so predictable anyway?) (vincentlambert.blogspot.com)

This is a 100% real story that a friend of mine published at his blog, Transsexual Mania. This guy has moved to Thailand several years ago and seems to be having a good time there. It’s a great woody sprouting story that i’m sure you’ll enjoy too. Thai Kathoey Ladyboy Fuck Show in Patpong So last night my TG girlfriend and I went to Bangkok’s Patpong prostitutions zone to see a fuck show. Instead of the “normal̶...

Claiming that the winner somehow "bought" the trophy is a common enough complaint in any type of media award ceremony (especially when it's those who didn't win the award are doing the complaining.) But in the case of the DAVID gay porn awards that were handed out at the Venus Erotic Expo in Berlin last week, things are even murkier: several producers claim that the organizers of the awards told them explicitly that they'd only be nominated if th...

GI Jonny, Captain Bareback, Crotch Cannon, Fisting Action… Once again, I thought, this can’t possibly be real. But it is. Not only that, I believe this GI Jonny HIV awareness campaign featuring GI Joe type action figures in some not so much suggestive as explicit sexually action, I think is by Viral Factor, the same people who brought you Stefane Monzone and the Trojan Games and was a viral video produced in conjunction with BBC to ra...
