So tell the other guys about your experience specifically with CumUnion San Francisco... Is it mostly bareback, or do a lot of guys use condoms, or is there a lot of oral and not much fucking? Were you able to give or take loads? How many? Would you say it's easy for a bottom to get loads or a top to find willing cumholes? What sort of guys attend? How piggy and uninhibited were they? And bottom line - would you recommend other guys go?. CumUnion San Francisco is held at the Playspace, 962 Folsom Street. The next party is on Sat, May 18th. Doors Open at 10:00pm to 3:00am.

Just thought I'd mention that Paul Morris DM'd me on Twitter and said... I don't know how a filmmaker who seems to have a rather skewed view of bug chasers manages to make a film with a bug chaser like Paul describes, but I guess it is what it is. Hopefully I'll be able to see the film soon and come to my own conclusions.

Breeding Zone is now an official sponsor of CumUnion. You're going to see them promoted more heavily on the site (we're just getting all the promotional stuff worked out). We've been trying to find a way to measure the effectiveness of the promotions here. I'm wondering if armbands, like I had for MAL wouldn't make sense. They'd be available for free upon request when you enter the party. The number of armbands requested/given out would give us a rough idea of how many of the guys here go to those parties. And it would help you guys identify each other. Plus, over time it would help get the word out about Breeding Zone to "the right kind of people". Now, on a practical level, the community here has critical mass because it's global. But right now (a bit after 7am Eastern) that just means 35-40 people actively visiting the site... (Click images to see bigger versions.) Even if you look at something like the Northeast US it doesn't look so bad... [That's who's on right now - just after 7am - but that map and the one below use a longer time frame than the graphic above that shows 41 people actively on the site - so the maps show more people than the first graphic does.] But when you zoom into a particular city, even a big one like New York, you see there really aren't that many people... There's only 6 people on the site right now from New York, and only 2 of those are registered users. Mind you, it is 7am. I'll try to remember to get new graphics tonight say around 10pm or so. So at a CumUnion party there will probably only be a few of you with armbands on... But you know those few people will be fine to walk up to and talk to or walk up to and have sex with. In fact I could see people after the fact getting on here and saying "who was the bottom who was taking all those loads who had the armband on?" If you guys want me to make Breeding Zone armbands available at CumUnion, let me know - I think it may achieve what you're looking for in a setting that won't be as awkward as say a meet up in a bar. Thoughts?

After years of listening closely to bug chasers I disagree rather strongly. Then again I see bug chasing as a continuum from the "give me all the STDs I can get" folks (who I think are mentally ill), to the people who "just let it happen" - they know they'll wind up poz, but don't change their behavior, yet don't want to admit they're essentially a bug chaser. But in between are rather rational guys who know their sexual desires are going to make them poz - so they take control of the situation and consciously decide to enjoy the process. I literally saw the moment of clarity with a friend of mine a few years ago at Steamworks in Chicago during IML - he just accepted his fate and embraced the entire scenario. He was at peace with what he was doing (and loving it). To me bug chasing (for certain guys) makes total sense. What I think is a problem are the people who don't want to think about the risk their taking and then are devastated when the inevitable happens. To me that's sad. And a big reason why I like running this site is that it gets people to think about their sex lives and be honest with themselves.

Not so personal - more like what the group thinks is good.

I asked him the direct question of why is he showing support for the film. This was his answer... I see Paul's point - to a point... I mean it comes down to what did you think of Will & Grace? I mean the gay characters were pretty one-dimensional and while they talked about attraction they always failed at romantic pursuits. Will & Jack were crafted to be acceptable to middle America. But at the end of the day the characters were a little condescending in that they had no complexity. I guess you could say Grace didn't have much complexity either. But Karen had surprising complexity. So it's like Chaser is the one portrayal of bug chasers that could be sympathetic to a broader audience - they poor victim who's been beaten down by other people and has no self worth. But is that fair or even typical of bug chasers? IMHO, not really. So on that grounds the film probably isn't horrible. People won't walk away hating bug chasers. But is it worth promoting? That's the part that I'm still a bit skeptical of. Right - so there we have the two reasons the filmmaker sees for barebacking are 1) trying to hurt yourself, and 2) being reckless. The concept that a rational sane person may choose to let strangers cum in his ass is outside Bardo's thinking. He starts with the assumption that barebacking is a problem that needs to be solved.

Well, it will be imperfect, but yes... The idea is that I'll use what signals I can to determine the quality of a clip and then include just the ones that look most promising. I'll probably wait for sufficient ratings, or look at the past performance of the uploading user. Once it's on one of my tube sites it'll be a matter of popularity - best star ratings and most views.

Wow... Just wow... That is one of the most honest things I think I've ever heard you say. It was surprisingly refreshing. IMHO, meth is your primary problem. Focus on that - the HIV you can live with. The meth will kill you.

There are a lot of reasons why people bug chase - low self esteem is only one of the many reasons and I doubt it's one of the primary reasons people bug chase. When you talk to the bug chasers on this site they're often intelligent, well-adjusted guys who are not self-loathing. They choose to bug chase (or "just let it happen") because they know they'll become poz one way or the other given what they like sexually. Bug chasing is their way of taking control of their life and making a conscious risk/reward decision - which is the exact opposite of the image that's apparently portrayed in the film - or at least the exact opposite of how the filmmaker sees bug chasers. Now, when meth addiction is involved it's a different issue. In that case the person isn't in control and it's a messy scenario that is indeed worthy of pity.

Length is something I'll have my crawler/embedder consider when it picks videos to use on my sites.

I'm a little baffled. Today several of the Treasure Island guys have mentioned the new short film "Chaser" in a positive light. Apparently Paul Morris even gave $500 towards getting it into film festivals. Thing is, the writer/director/producer sees bug chasing as a pathological problem that needs to be exposed and fixed. For starters the subtitle of the film is "Shame = Death". In other words he thinks most or all bug chasers do it out of shame. Here are his words on the issue... So he did the short film because bug chasing bothered/confused/dismayed him and he expected the traditional AIDS organizations to support his venture when those organizations have never been friendly to anything related to barebacking (despite the fact that many on their boards bareback in their personal lives). Mind you, he thinks he's being neutral on the issue... But the thing is his idea of neutral is to tell the story of someone who was a bug chaser because... Basically in his eyes bug chasers are to be pitied and if they just had some self worth they wouldn't engage in risky sex. The man doesn't have a clue. So why are all the TIM guys supporting him and the movie? I don't get it. Unless it's one of those things where the guy thought his film would be interpreted one way, but it actually tells a different story than he intended...

Just the opposite for me - to a point. It feels best to me when there's plenty of lube - it comes closest to a cummy hole (which I LOVE).

Polls are limited to 10 options and putting RF on the list didn't really help with what I'm trying to achieve. I might as well disclose where I'm coming from in asking the question... My goal is to build something that spiders the big tube sites and gets information on their videos. Then I'll programmatically choose the most promising videos and put them on my own tube sites. I'll have one tube site for bareback videos (in addition to Raunchy Fuckers) and another for all types of gay porn. Raunchy Fuckers will continue to exist. In fact, I need to do a lot more with it. If you've been looking at my blog you know I've been looking for an assistant. When that person finally starts, keeping Raunchy Fuckers updated will be on their list of things to do. I may actually use some of the content from this project on Raunchy Fuckers, but with Raunchy Fuckers the focus is quality more than quantity. The new tube sites will focus on quantity first and hopefully find some measure of quality in the process. I've been doing a lot of thinking about my business lately. My competitors fall into two camps. First are the ones like me that have always focused on building quality content (e.g. bloggers, etc.). Most of those people are having serious financial problems. Simply put, the effort it takes to put up a blog post barely covers the revenue it brings in unless you've got a really big blog with lots of traffic - and even the really big blogs aren't as big as they used to be. The few people who are still doing well with blogging tend to be incredibly social - which is one reason why I've been spending more time on Twitter and even a bit on Facebook and Google Plus. But at the end of the day few people who know me would say "being social" is an attribute they think of when they think of me - it's not my strength. The group that's competing with folks like me and doing really well are the big tube sites. They've focused on large scale operations with crazy amounts of content. Those are very streamlined, efficient businesses. In fact, given that user uploads are the core of the tube business, you could say that they have other people doing much of their work for them for free. Not to be crass, but Breeding Zone is a bit like that - you guys post and we just moderate. That's the kind of thing I need to be doing more of in order to survive and prosper financially. So, to that end a few months ago I built a gallery site with tens of thousands of pictures that updates on my own with almost no intervention on my part. Took me a long time to find a designer, but he's finally implementing a design this week. The site is http://www.hotmalepix.com - you'll see it looks half done - that's because it is. But the idea is to overwhelm the visitor with pictures and get them to tweet and tumbl what they like. So now I'm turning my attention to doing something similar with videos. The new tube sites that I'm working on won't host their own videos. For a long time I was scared of running sites like that because they were a legal gray area. It's the reason why Macho M. is a banned phrase on this site - because that's what he does. But recent court decisions, and actions by big companies like Google, and comments by people who know adult entertainment law have all led me to believe if I do things a certain way I can run sites like that and not have to worry about legal problems. And "a certain way" includes having the new sites as separate from sites like Raunchy Fuckers which have more editorial involvement, allow user uploads, and host their own videos. There are different rules for each type of site and as soon as you mix them you're fucked legally. As far as Bareback Bastards - that requires a login, so it's not a site I can spider.

Just wondering which of the tube sites you like the best... When you wanna jack off and you think of tubes which ones do you go to? There's a reason why I'm asking the question - but it'll take me a couple months to develop what I'm thinking into something that's usable. If there are tube sites that aren't on the list, let me know which ones they are. And if you have particular thoughts on any of the tube sites I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

I just came across some articles from December about the rate of increase in HIV infections from 2008 to 2010. I was a little shocked to hear that HIV infections among 13-24 year old gay men are up 22% over those two years. That sounds like the infections are going up exponentially. Young black guys are 55% of that group despite the fact that black men are nowhere near 55% of the population. Overall infections among gay men are up 12% - that's still double digits (though over two years). Here's the PDF from the CDC... http://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/docs/2012/hiv-infections-2007-2010.pdf Some other interesting tidbits that they mentioned... So basically young gay guys (especially young black guys) underestimate the risk they're taking (or they're aware and don't care), and they don't get tested (possibly because they don't have access to healthcare), so they get infected and then spread it among the other young guys they have sex with. It's not that they're having more bareback sex than older guys, it's that the guys they're having bareback sex with don't know they're poz or don't care they're poz (and haven't gone on meds). And then as a greater percentage of the guys in their cohort become poz it means more and more risk. If access to good healthcare is a big issue then it's not likely that these young guys are going to be going on PrEP any time soon - so this is just going to continue. That data is 2+ years old. I suspect the trends have just continued and possibly gotten even more dramatic. However, infections among black women are down substantially. That part is definitely good news since they often get it from guys who are on "the DL" and not telling the women that they're bisexual and getting fucked raw by guys.

Well, the data suggest (though they haven't proven it yet), that if taken daily PrEP can be 98% effective. So if it would have taken you 6 months to convert, now it will take you 50 times longer than that - 25 years. There may be a more permanent solution to HIV 25 years from now.

Yes, it is a numbers game, but no, a few cases (like yours) do not disprove the general trend. I think the study showed that half of all gay guys bareback at least some of the time, but the percentage of gay men who are poz is far lower than that - around 25% in urban areas (that attract guys who are already poz by offering good healthcare, etc.)

Actually that's not what I'm saying at all. Take the Maverick Men guys... They're on PrEP, they get tested regularly (and by regularly I mean ALL the time). Everyone they fuck bareback is tested regularly and they encourage the guys they fuck bareback to go on PrEP (they're actually thinking of mandating that everyone who fucks with them is on PrEP). If the person won't get tested or is poz they just refuse to fuck with them. Now they are in a unique position where because of their site they've got more than enough guys who are willing to put up with all that. And things like HIV tests for everyone who walks through the door is just "a production cost" - though I suspect they probably send them off for a complete battery of STD tests - not just the 20 minute home test. In real life I think there are a lot of people who minimize their risk by just not having much sex. Something like 1/4 or 1/3rd of the guys in the big study on PrEP didn't have sex for like 3 months. And that's probably after they got screened to make sure they're having sex. So guys have crappy, limited sex lives and then they talk the issue of HIV status to death before actually fucking with someone and in the process they drastically reduce their risk. My bf is sorta in that group. He has very few sexual partners and he really gets to know the guys he fucks. I think guys like that probably will stay neg in most cases - whether it's lots of sex with a crazy number of layers of protection, or really limiting sexual partners to a few trusted guys. Neither of those is zero risk, but it's close enough that guys like that tend to stay neg.
