Chi Chi LaRue says, "wrap it up!"

Chi Chi LaRue, the indisputable mistress of gay porn, has just released a new PSA (public service announcement) promoting safer sex. The video premiered exclusively at Towleroad.com and once again emphasizes the need for condoms not only in our personal lives but also in adult videos.

She asks a very pointed question: "Why are we putting people at risk for porn?"

In other words, even if bareback videos don't affect a viewer's behavior (and some think that's a big if!), what about the health and well-being of the young men making the films?

"Let's concentrate on the hot guys that work everyday creating this fantasy for you... for YOU!  Thousands of guys star in these movies every year, these aren't just people working in a bubble. A scary trend has been developing, you probably heard about it -- unless you've been living under a rock -- bareback movies featuring risky behavior are creeping up everywhere. That means that a greater percentage of these models are being put at risk every day. 

"This is where your fantasy needs a serious dose of reality. These boys are real. The unsafe sex they are having is real. The risk is real." [more]

When asked by Andy Towle why she felt so passionate about this issue, LaRue explained, "We are seeing movies with 18 year old twinks being gang banged without condoms. We are seeing 20 year olds in the UK who have reportedly become HIV+ after making their first porn."

Is it really so hard to "wrap it up?"
