Porn princess Chi Chi LaRue ain’t down with barebacking.
Now, as HIV infections rise among gay men under thirty – who should know better! – and a proliferation in bareback porn, LaRue has released an epic PSA speaking out against unsafe sex – and those who make money off of it. “When I first started seeing barebacking titles appear, of course I was disappointed and very outspoken… There is no way to 100% protect the health of models by testing only. What if the test was taken a day before the persons HIV became detectable. What if the model caught HIV a day after he was tested? Unfortunately, this way of thinking is why I had to quit working in the straight industry. I walked away from a lucrative contract with Vivid Video when they decided to go “condom optional” so don’t ever say I don’t put my money where my mouth is!” LaRue feels so strongly about this matter, she donned two wigs and without makeup as Larry David Paciotti!

See, now here is a porn producer we can actually respect. Take a note, Goolander!

Perhaps the recent research showing that people taking ARVs for extended periods of time have serious health concerns at young ages will dissuade some younger guys from thinking “I’m going to get it anyway, so I might as well stop trying to prevent it” or that it’s fully treatable.
We need more poz guys talking about these issues.

Good for her!

You go, Chi Chi! We know you’ve lost a lot of beloved friends to this disease and so have many of us who are your surviving contemporaries and older. Your many own works in the realm of erotica have demonstrated over and over that safe sex can still be VERY hot. Keep spreading the word, baby. We love you.

I am almost sure there is a short safe sex commercial at the begining of When Bears Attack…which she made.

See, this is one of the many reasons why Chi Chi is in charge. Not only is she talented, pleasant and fun, but she has common sense and the guts to stand up and say it. She has been putting these PSAs on movies for years, this is nothing new.
And this is actually one of the few things on which she and Mr Lucas agree.

Why not Issue a Health warning “BAREBACK EQUALS POZ” like a Health Warning on Cigarettes and force legislation to make it mandatory on Porn videos (Gay, Straight or Otherwise) which feature barebacking (unsafe sex)?????

ChiChi is soooo hot!

Isn’t it up to the individual to choose whether to protect themselves or not, the same with what porn they want.

Bareback sex and all male/gay sex porn is a huge-monolithic topic. Chi-Chi makes a valid point, but at the same time those models accept their conditions to perform in bareback/condom-less movies-whether it be for money or sexual desire.
A next best step, I believe, for Chi-chi would be to make a strong campaign with other all male porn companies who also believe in safe sex performances for their features and models – whether or not they are competition for one another.
