Is the AHF Selling Bareback Movies?

AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) since 2009, has waged a campaign against adult industry production companies in an effort to legislate mandatory condom use on adult production sets.

With the prevalence of titles like “Bareback Cum Party #8” or “Bareback Cock Riders” or “Bareback Inferno,” one could easily assume bareback — that is, condomless — is a subniche whose popularity is, well, gushing. But is that the case? XBIZ recently spoke with bareback producers as well as consumers about the apparent popularity of the genre and uncovered a surprising twist: Consumers who purchase bareback titles may tend to do so not because there are no condoms involved, but because the performers appear more engaged onscreen.
