The Ethicist (Gay Porn Edition) - This post comes courtesy of Gay Porn Blog. Our friends at Titan Media, home of the woofy Jon Galt, have announced that an official policy against barebacking. Not only have they declared that none of the titles they produce will feature barebacking, but they've also vowed to not cast any actors in their movies who do bareback work for other studios.

Titan states that their mission is to eroticize and portray safer sex practices. That being the case, I think they've done the right thing. I think a lot of gay men do learn some of their techniques and tricks (no pun intended) from porn. A lot of sex, especially fetish play, is gleamed from watching others. The spread of HIV continues to be an issue, and reminders of that for people of my generation and younger are especially important. And so I believe that it is a thoughtful decision on Titan's part to take a stance on this issue they feel is of critical importance.
