And they all drop, one by one, into the hole-breeding abyss. Following on yesterday’s release of Next Door Studios’ first bareback scene we get a less innocently cloaked (lollipops?) duo scene on Men of Montreal dubbed Raw Meat, marking that studio’s first condom-free effort.
Just to recap, our informal census of larger/notable studios doing bareback and condom-only gay porn has now shifted with these two changeovers, and after GuysInSweatpants shot their first bareback scene a couple weeks ago, the scale has now been tipped toward bareback, with 23 studios doing bareback, and 18 from our last count still keeping things condom-safe. (We didn’t include Men of Montreal in that earlier tally.) Scroll down to see the new tally below.
No matter where you stand on this issue and we know a whole lot of you may practice safe sex in real life but prefer to watch your porn without condoms there’s no question this is a significant moment in this debate, and one which certainly affects the careers and fates of performers. Sure there are still plenty of reputable, popular studios who will employ models who insist on condoms, but the industry is no longer divided the way it was just a few years ago with a handful of upstarts and Europeans serving up bareback sloppiness while all the established, “clean-cut” and name-brand sites and studios righteously kept the condoms on. Money talks, and so do your clicks. And producers like Austin Wilde at GuysInSweatpants are doing as the straight industry does and trying to be cautious in testing and re-testing their models and apprising them of the risks. Is getting HIV worth the $500 or $1500 that some of these guys might get shooting a scene? No. Are they all going to get HIV? No. Will a few of them? Probably, when all is said and done. Is this a risk that these “employees” are knowingly taking in a job that comes with certain risks, like coal mining or circus performing. Kinda. Will condom-only porn keep everyone from taking such risks in their own lives when they’re drunk or high? Nope. Is there a bit of hysteria surrounding all this? Absolutely. Stay tuned for plenty more.

And now, the preview of this Men of Montreal thing.
To their credit, they’re careful to put in a little word of caution.
I AM LIVING FOR FELIX BRAZEAU! Hottest porn star in the business, for me. The other guy is hot too, beautiful pic of his asshole.
Is there any story you won’t use to work Guysinsweatpants into the post? Here…

J.W. Since you mentioned a Canadian studio: Men of Monreal that has gone bareback. You left out the other major Canadian studio that is also based in Montreal: Videoboys which has remained condom only. Videoboys has had this strange collaboration with Cockyboys for a while now, not only sharing models but content, more recently lending out Jett Black when he was still with Cockyboys to be paired with Justin Lebeau, and of course Jake Bass who has flipped back and forth between the two studios. Good to see you mentioned at least one Canadian gay porn studio.
This kind of ‘news’ will only be real news when Treasure Island Media is going to use condoms.
I’m sure TIM could make creative use of condoms using piss, bondage and something about dogs.
Did you really forget about Michael Lucas? I realize that most wish they could – but I digress.
He’s on the “to ignore list” here at The Sword.
I understand that these guys know what they’re getting into, but a lot are uninformed stupid young kids. Already they’re doing a big risk in being in porn but the bareback is just something that is risking their lives. -Sigh- Oh well in the end money talks and these uninformed kids will end up like the Rod Barrys. Why don’t these companies just come together like some UN and regulate things and maybe even somewhere that if a model was to get infected with HIV this community would help with medications. -sigh- but that’s just in a dream world in the end no one gives a fuck when money is involved. To all the Rod Barrys and Cameron Lanes I’m sorry you guys were fucked over the industry but we will only see more stories like these pop up in the porn world. I guess we’ll never learn
Rod Barry? Cameron Lane? Don’t you mean Rod Daily and Cameron Bay? (Who, by the way, were not infected on a porn set).
THAT HAIRCUT!
Thanks for the list of studios doing bareback. It will be easier to avoid them.
Men of Montrel are now with all other on my list of banned studios.
Men of Montreal or “Killers of Montreal”?
In a couple of months time you can only watch Titan. Hope you are into bears!
Silly nun.
