Bareback sex: Wikipedia defines Bareback as a term that originated in gay slang to describe acts of unprotected sex, especially anal sex. The term's usage, however, has crossed-over to more mainstream slang to describe any type of penetrative sexual act without the use of a condom.
According to the BBC three gay pornographic films have been pulled from the shelf because it showed men having sex with each other with no protection (barebacking). The DVD's were pulled after a British show called, "Newsnight", revealed that 4 out of 8 of the young men having unprotected sex in the video were diagnosed as being HIV positive.
One of the featured models or porn stars in the film had said to BBC he was distressed that footage which he believed showed him becoming infected had been put on sale.
In another case, British producer, Rufus Ffoulkes, was imprisoned for child pornography.
The 48 year old put a 16-year-old boy in a gay porn film, in which he had unprotected sex.
The young men for his homemade porn films were from the website Gaydar.
Ffoulkes paid the teenager 500 pounds, which is $992.85 dollars, to take pictures then put him in a bareback porn film.
According to edp24.co.uk, the prosecution's attorney, Miranda Bevan, told the court, "Distasteful though this sort of activity is, the reality is that the gay pornography industry is sizeable and apart from the age of this young man, is legal"
"Unprotected sex is standard in the gay porn industry."

"Unprotected sex is standard in the gay porn industry."
Surprisingly, a US company released the film. The unnamed U.S. company had refused to stop selling the DVD until it was approached by Newsnight.
Icreme, Great Britain's leading bareback film company, gave a statement to the BBC that it will no longer produce anymore barebacking films.
Barebacking most recently has hit the pornography by storm. In the Gay Porn industry barebacking makes up about 60% of produced films.
Ceri Evans, Senior Sexual Health Adviser at West London Centre for Sexual Health, told the BBC:
"I think that there is a possibility of something being called condom fatigue.
"We have been talking about condoms so long that people are bored or think they know it all.
"Education in schools is not what it could be, for anybody, for heterosexual but particularly if you are gay."
The Health Protection Agency show that HIV infections from gay have increased by 55% in the past five years.
The number of gay and bisexual men diagnosed with HIV in the UK is at its highest rate since the start of the epidemic.
2,700 gay and bisexual men were newly diagnosed last year, the highest number ever.
Across the UK one in 20 gay and bisexual men are now living with HIV and estimates suggest this figure is as high as one in 10 in London
In the US the leading gay porn director Chi Chi Larue has taken a very public stance against bareback films.
"After all the gay community has been through why are we putting people at risk for porn," he says in a new advert aimed at persuading consumers to boycott bareback films.
In Britain the campaign against bareback is being lead by a director called Steven Brewer.
He is inviting both producers and performers to sign up to a new code of practice designed to minimize risk within the gay porn industry.
He told Newsnight: "I just don't want another 18-year-old model crying on my shoulder not sure how to tell his partner or his parents that he is now HIV positive."
