When Your Opinion Really Doesn't Count

     Okay a discussion was sparked today on my Twitter timeline concerning porn-stars having raw sex. It was stated that because porn-stars are making movies of themselves bare backing, that they're sending a message to our community that it's okay to have unprotected sex. It was also stated that porn stars are the reason for the rise in the HIV rate in our community. My question now is who the hell goes out and have raw sex just because another person, that mind you gets paid for it, is doing it on cam?
     Now lets address this thing one step at a time. I wanna start off with the whole rise in the HIV rate. The reason why there's a rise in the HIV rate has nothing to do with what or how porn stars choose to make there money. This steady rise is directly connected to the lack of education with in our own groups, circles, and communities. The thought of people fearing what they don't understand not only applies to fear of the unknown. In a lot of cases people not only fear what they don't understand, but they ignore it. They put it in there minds that it can' happen to them because they only  date certain types of people. Or they think that because they're not sexually active unless they're in a committed relationship that they're not at risk. Porn is the last reason that anyone should have for the spread of HIV or any of the STDs that we are constantly plagued with.
     Self choice plays a very important part of this whole dilemma about what contributes to the cause of the rising HIV rate here. I see people having unprotected sex all the time. Whether it's on the net,  in person, or just by what other's tell me it's happening. But the question is, if everyone's doing it, does that make it okay? If I watch porn and the new biggest thing out is raw sex, does that mean I should do it? The answer to those questions are, what ever I feel is best for me. But the fact that others are doing it doesn't make it right or wrong. I am my own person,m as is every soul on this planet responsible for there own well being. If I'm standing on the roof of a building and everyone jumps off, I know I sure as hell ain't bout to join in on that fun. If every porn star stabbed themselves with a knife after every orgasm would you think it was the right thing to do?
     @iNewYorker, a patron on twitter, is really the one that started this whole thing. Telling, @I_AM_HOTROD, that he and the people that he work for are directly a big cause for the spread or HIV. I really don't think that there are any adults that have porn stars for role models. And as I've said before, If they do they deserve any and everything they get. And as far as the youth, it's the parents job to educate there kids. So you can get as many petitions signed as you want to, you're not going to change anything. Adult content is not meant for anyone under the age of 18. And if you're over that age and still think that it's okay to do things just cause others do it, I say drink a cup of bleach now and save us all the stress.
