Chi Chi La Rue Speaks Out

Jason Sechrest and Raging Stallions Chris Ward stepped into the debate on Thursday. Interesting there was VERY LITTLE discussion of the UK HIV test story by the Pro bareback crowd,,any surprise?

Older UPDATE Oct 27; I added a reference article from the LA Times and further personal observations to support my premise that Bryan Kocis was the instigator of BAREBACK Twink Gay Porn.

I was looking around for a new Blog Post after days of worrying about the fires in San Diego, when I came across this story about another kind of fire. The spreading HIV epidemic in the Bareback porn biz. I am not talking about Treasure Island Media or Hot Desert Knights, videos that purportedly feature mature HIV+ models. I call your attention to the Spawn of Cobra the company's emboldened by the late Bryan Kocis greed and wanton disregard for the health of his young Twink boy's.

Cobra was the first Twink BareBack porn producer, Bryan released his first BB video in early 2002. Sam Dixons Tippo Sesso released Barebacking Across America with Brent Everett & Chase Mackenzie in early 2003. Eurocreme, the Raw series,SEVP all the Euro BB Studios came after Bryan Blazed the trail.

They all followed the lead and the millions in revenue Bryan Kocis was sucking in while filming clueless, naive 18 yo's who he sweet talked into playing Russian Roulette with their lives. Sure HIV is not an automatic death sentence now and most teens & young twentys are having bareback sex, but an 18 yo boy testing POZ has just shaved decades off his life expectancy! Bryan inducing boys on a porn set to have bareback sex, using shoddy or plainly fraudulent testing procedures (the dutch instant Hiv test) to "put them at ease"and then having this 40 year old telling the boys everything is Hunk Dory! This was the height of callous irresponsibility!


Thanks Bryan for BLAZING the trail to a new HIV porn epidemic!

This will be your true and Undying legacy Bryan Kocis! Your contribution to the world of Gay Porn! You made BareBacking Cool and Alluring again, the fact your studio prospered and was not condemned, indeed was tacitly tolerated, meant other greedy irresponsible producers felt emboldened to go Bareback!

The entire Twink bareback "crises" facing the Major studios today can be laid at your feet. And you would be proud of that wouldn't you Bryan? You despised Kevin Clarke and the other responsible Twink Directors who looked out for and cared for their models. Instead you inspired and created an entire movement dedicated to the idea that the Aids epidemic was Over and "done with". This Lie like so many you perpetuated will be your permanent contribution to Gay Porn. Should we be surprised that a man with such a personal self-loathing for himself and all gay youth would ultimately be responsible for laying waste to a generation of young porn models all while filming what he called "The Erotic Essence of Youth"

Too Harsh?

Perhaps but as we have learned this week, to return to the metaphor of the California Brushfire, the smallest spark or ember can start the greatest fire or epidemic. The results are starting to come in, ever increasing rates of HIV (& other STD) infections among young men doing Twink BareBack Porn in the UK,Czech Republic and eastern European nations. An increase of POZ tests have been noted among straight porn producers (who have stringent & mandatory testing unlike Gay Porn) in the US. How soon will we start hearing about POZ tests from the Helix boys (Hot Studs) the only other major American producer of BB Twink Porn?

When will someone in this business show some responsibility and demand Mandatory industry wide testing for ALL gay porn studios. The Majors are responsible with THEIR models but if they pressured the Distributors like Motti Green at Marina Pacific to STOP distribution of BareBack Twink Porn they would be Showing some Real Cajones!

Look Gay Porn is a Business, you want to make money, if this invasion of cheaply produced EuroPorn continues to stream into the country the Majors , the Raging Stallions, The Titans, The Falcons even Chi Chi WILL BE FORCED to film BareBack porn EXCLUSIVELY!

Indeed Euro BB titles are already half the DVD market in this country.

So will GayPorn be able to survive producing nothing but BareBack Porn?

Yes until a major new epidemic spreads thru young bareback models, resulting in UNWANTED & UNWELCOME Media and then POLITICAL attention to the problem!

And How do Politicians Solve Porn Problems?

Badly look at COPA,DCMA,2257, etc

If we have a new epidemic fostered and abetted by the Gay Porn biz you will ALL be responsible for whatever comes down on your heads!

You have been warned, see below and read the Future of Gay Porn!

Direct Link from Boyz in the Know/UK

Three young male actors, aged 18, 21 and 26,
were infected with HIV while making a British
bareback gay porn film last month. The boys
were performing alongside a 26 year old actor who
had tested negative several weeks before production,
but it later transpired that he was HIV positive at the
time of filming.

Boyz has learned that only three days after shooting
had finished, the actor undertook a routine monthly
HIV test, only to discover that the result was positive.
He then alerted the DVD company’s director, who
rushed his other young stars to hospital to undergo a
rarely used 48-hour HIV test which it is claimed can
detect HIV within hours of infection, by looking for the
virus’ DNA. All three co-stars were then informed that
their tests were also positive.

One of the actors, Jay*, 21,
told Boyz: ‘On all the shoots we
do everything: suck, kiss, rim,
fuck. I’m passive but he didn’t
cum inside me - that never happens
in porn, it’s all face and
mouth. It must’ve been from his pre-cum inside me.’

It appears that the guy who infected his co-stars
didn’t allow for the so-called ‘window period’ – a three
month wait before a standard HIV antibody test, used
in most clinics in London, will provide an accurate
result.

Many pornstars use the standard test to certify
that they’re HIV negative, allowing them a ticket to
ride bareback in films which are a rapidly growing
part of the gay DVD market.

However, Jay’s experience highlights the
problems related to this kind of testing for bareback
porn actors. Since his young stars were infected, the
director of the DVD company is now ensuring that all
his actors are checked every month for HIV using the
48-hour test at an NHS GUM clinic on the outskirts of
London. Each test is charged at £18.50. This is paid
for by the film company as the hospital has refused to
waive the cost of such frequent testing.

A senior nurse at the clinic, told us that providing
the test ‘does not condone unsafe sex’ but that the
hospital was responding to ‘a unique situation’. He
said: ‘We acknowledge that [bareback porn] happens
and we have to respond to that to do whatever we can
to minimise risks to people.’

Yet the Department of Health’s guidelines still
recommend using the traditional three-month test
because of its proven reliability. One doctor told us
that the 48-hour test has given many false positive
results and still requires the standard antibody test for
confirmation. Nonetheless, the dilemma for bareback
performers remains.

‘I do wish my company was using the quick test
before my shoot but they didn’t know about it’, said
Jay. Even his director was angry, adding, ‘If we’d have
known about it we’d have chased it up and made sure
we used it’.

But Alan Smith, an HIV
consultant at St Mary’s Hospital,
Paddington, described the 48-hour
tests as ‘novel’ and said, ‘Whilst
they may show infection earlier
than the conventional tests, the
best way to use them isn’t yet clear’.

Another HIV doctor who declined to be named
admitted that tests with shorter window periods would
be the best way for anyone who works in bareback
porn to reduce the risks. However he stressed that
such activity is never completely danger-free, regardless
of testing.

As long as bareback movies continue to be made
there needs to be further research into the success
rate of the 48-hour test. The standard 3-month antibody
test is clearly of little use to porn actors wanting
to prove their negative status.

But whatever the controversy
over such tests, nothing can change the fact
that three young men who performed in a bareback
sex movie are now counting the cost to their lives.
Jay’s bareback DVD will be out before Christmas.
Unsuspecting viewers won’t be aware that they’re actually
watching the young performers being infected
with HIV.

Finally Blake Mason one of the best producers of Gay Subscription and CONDOM Porn made this entry in his diary in July. One of Masons models 18 yo Leo M tested positive in March and this was announced at the end of filming with model Lucas Marshall.

Enough..., 25/07/07

Diary entry No. 103

Imagine a world where respect and honesty for others came first. Then, dream of a world where people didn’t exploit one another and throw them out with the trash when things go embarrassingly wrong. Hell, why not consider the fact that your actions and choices actually affect people in a way you had no idea they could?

There’s a clue to the right. A simple piece of latex can mean a bright, happy, unaffected future for the guys you want to watch having fun. Without it, well, those same guys who make your lives more “satisfying” end up with a very different future. But unlike you, I know them, and I feel the impact.

I, like so many people I know right now, want to SCREAM about the blatant exploitation of guys who want to entertain you on film. There are some major sites who seemingly have no idea about just how these films are made, or the false promises that are given to the models and I just can’t let that continue any longer.

Anyone who promotes bareback sites without knowing exactly how those films are produced needs to ask themselves the question “have I made money from somebody’s misfortune”? Commercial suicide for me perhaps, but soon, there will be a website for all affected models to relay their own stories. It will have a prominent link on my site simply because this is a tale that has to be told.

Let’s face it, I make a decent living without having to resort to filming bareback sex. However, it seems that bareback sex outsells condom sex 10 to 1. I guess some people are just a little greedy without, perhaps, fully understanding the implications of their actions.
