![]() To all the people who have said “why don’t people just keep your sexuality to their self, etc., what you do in your bedroom is your own business but I don’t wanted in my face… Etc.“ ![]() Just as I was expecting, this thread really has brought out the worst in people. It’s not being politically correct, it’s just being a decent human being. You don’t have to be gay to support civil rights. The reality is that certain people lack empathy for “others” and that changes when they find out someone they like, they love, or they are related to comes out. Just as some people were uncomfortable with interracial relationships or whatever other conservative cause of the day you may still wish to champion. It’s about becoming visible and seeking equal protections under the law. This isn’t about marriage, cakes or being fabulous. A minority of states protect LGBT rights but the majority don’t. As it stands it is legal to fire people for being gay, to refuse housing or evict on the basis of orientation. Not special rights, just the same rights. I long for the day when gays get the same civil rights everyone else has. You like it when everyone is presumed straight and the gays were trying to pass as straight to avoid discrimination and violence. I miss the days when other people’s sexual orientation was none of my business.

![]() Roseanne and Dan Conner (John Goodman) were working-class parents, precariously employed and always struggling to make ends meet. They served up moral tales, and an idealised version of the middle-class family that became a template for the genre well into the 1980s. Early exemplars including Father Knows Best (1954-1960), Leave it to Beaver (1957-1963) and The Donna Reed Show (1958-1963) were explicitly targeted towards the rapidly expanding American middle class. It emerged in the 1950s as television became a dominant medium. Originally, domestic comedy was a middle-class genre. ![]() What has always been most interesting about Roseanne, and the source of its enduring appeal, is how its portrait of working-class America both taps into contemporary cultural anxieties and subverts the traditional moral and aesthetic standards of domestic comedy. Johnny Rapid began his porn career at the start of the 2010s as a fresh-faced 18-year-old, shooting scenes with Boys First Time and Bukkake Boys before signing with Men as an exclusive and releasing his first scene in November 2011. Through this reflection, I arrive at the conclusion that the time was right for an aging twink performer to be freshened-up by a transition to bareback-similar transitions of which have become widespread across the gay porn landscape in the intervening years between the 2015 Johnny Rapid Goes Bareback event and the present day, thanks in no small part to advancements in HIV prevention technologies. ![]() I read the case study in line with the concept of time, which has particular resonance with bareback. Yet I also take the opportunity-writing several years after this critical moment in Rapid’s career-to reflect on the success of the campaign. The analysis reveals a decidedly negative reception of Rapid, the promotion of bareback as event, and the quality of the bareback performance itself, all of which I read in accordance with what these narratives have to tell us about bareback at the time. This article explores a critical moment of going bareback in the career of arguably the biggest gay porn performer of the 2010s, Johnny Rapid. ![]() ![]() Use family filters of your operating systems and/or browsers Other steps you can take to protect your children are: More information about the RTA Label and compatible services can be found here.
