We would like to take a moment to discuss with you the statistics, dangers, and controversy surrounding Safe Sex and Bare Back porn. There is always risk, anytime you have sex, on or off camera; with a condom or without. It is important that you know all models for BareTwinks receive a full panel STD test before shooting for BareTwinks which most importantly includes HIV.

Lets Talk Facts and Statistics...

*Only an estimated 3% of users use condoms correctly and consistently.

*It is estimated that 1 in 5 Americans is now infected with a viral STD. (The Alan Guttmacher Institute)

*63% of chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhea infections occur in persons under age 25. (ibid)

*80% of people who have a sexually transmitted disease experience no noticeable sypmtoms. ( American Journal of Obstetrics)

*2% of all condoms break( read the back of your condom wrapper)

*It is suggested that there is a 31% failure rate in preventing HIV transmission even while using a condom and that "It is a disservice to encourage the belief that condoms will prevent sexual transmission of HIV." (ibid). (Social Science and Medicine, 36:12)

*Not all condoms are designed to prevent disease (it should say so on the packaging).

*Condoms do not prevent all STD's!

While condoms do greatly reduce the risk of STD transmission, they don't prevent it every single time. Condoms should never be a porn company's (or your self's) ONLY defense against STD's. We have always tested models before shooting, regardless if they are using condoms, or not. It is our promise both to our models and to you that we make every effort to provide the safest environment possible by eliminating the possibility of infection by proving there Isn't one to begin with. Condoms, do break especially in the porn industry where there is prolonged use and rough sex which dramatically lowers a condoms effectiveness and strength. We have seen many condoms break throughout our years.

Unfortunately the gay porn industry takes the unusual path of not testing models for STD's, wether it be for condoms or bareback. This not only puts the models at risk but also promotes the spread of infection. The straight porn industry however, has a very good track record of shooting without condoms without incident and consistently testing their models for STD's. This is a fact commonly overlooked when debating safe sex in the gay porn industry. The gay porn industry typically chooses to just use condoms to protect their models this clearly isn't enough. This is like having airbags in your car but declining to use your seat belt! Yeah the airbags softened your blow but you still run the risk of being fatally injured.

There is always risk, anytime you have sex, on or off camera with or without a condom. We spend over $10,000 a year on STD Testing(not including time, mileage, or record keeping). We feel comfortable that we are doing our best to reduce risks and provide a safe working environment for our models. We truly hope that everyone from customers and models choose to engage in true safe sex. We have no legal, medical degrees and our statements should not be taken as advice. This is solely our personal opinion based on experience and various statistics that we have unearthed while working in the adult industry over many years. On a social level, this site is not meant to encourage anyone to have bareback sex! These bareback videos are purely fantasy, meant for personal entertainment only. You should not try and imitate these videos in any way.

Please be safe and protect yourself out there!
