I read an article on avn.com today about Titan's policy of refusing to hire any model that previously worked without a condom. The reason given was that such films "depict and eroticize high-risk behavior." Yet, in straight porn, companies routinely distribute material that "depict[s] and eroticizes high-risk behavior" such as simulated rape or some of the rougher films. Why the difference? Seriously.

Let me confuse you even more. The way you ask the question makes me believe it is a matter of the difference between the filmic reality and the pro filmic reality.

I have read your original post more carefully this time, and I must say that you can ignore my first post. It seems the good folks at Titan are also talking about the filmic reality after all.

In that case, the good folks at Titan are really the confused ones.

I'd still love to know what "filmic reality" means. The way I see the situation is this, Titan apparently cares about giving the wrong impression of glorifying unsafe sex, but other companies in straight porn don't care about the impression given with regards to content depicted in their films. I'm wondering why it seems to be an issue more in one genre than the other. I have no idea who, if anyone, is right or wrong here.

Neither do I. Well, if you ask, I would answer "if anyone".

Why the difference between the straight and the gay companies? I think that GaySatyr can give you some answers on that one.

That is a slightly different topic than the one I was ready to explore when I said that Titan is the confused party. Since this is not what you are asking about, I will gracefully bow out of this thread and quit dragging it off topic.

Good luck with finding some answers to your question.

Titan is a gay porn company, correct? Most of the better gay porn companies here in the US only shoot condom scenes, because they want to be seen as promoting safe sex behavior, that helps contain the spread of HIV/AIDS, which is the high risk behavior the AVN article is referring to. These companies are very tuned into the gay community, and also don't want to not do things that would upset gays, or turn customers away. At least that's my reading of the situation, from finding some websites for gay porn studios, and the websites of gay porn stars.

I think there are some gay rough sex videos out there, so they have that stuff too. I know they have BD/SM stuff for certain. They also have "fake rape" videos, though these get their share of controversy. I think one of them was called "Naughty Boy" and featured a guy tied up while being "raped" by several men.

Go take a look at the reviews written over at TLA.com's website for gayporn, and you'll that there a big variety in the gay porn world, too.

Back in the mid-80's, when it was determined that AIDS was spread sexually, and with the gay community, including way too many gay porn stars, being devastated by AIDS and its associated diseases, gay porn studios began requiring condoms for all anal sex scenes as a show of social conscience as well as for the performers' protection.

Relatively recently, a number of performers and several studios have gone against that norm, promoting new bareback material. Titan Media has simply reaffirmed its position in the matter.

While I regret that such things are necessary, I applaud Titan's commitment to its principles and to the gay community.
