Random Question: Do You Think The Disclaimer On Sean Cody’s Bareback Threesome Is Problematic?

A few days ago, a colleague at Manhunt headquarters approached my desk and innocently inquired whether I’d be writing about Sean Cody‘s recent bareback threesome. I replied that, while I occasionally write about bareback scenes in order to encourage a dialogue about safer sex, I generally try to avoid posting too many clips without condoms. There are exceptions to this rule… But, arguably, those are a more subtle approach of encouraging the aforementioned dialogue.

Truthfully, I never want to come off as preachy on this topic. The words of the “disclaimer” on our bareback posts are carefully chosen: “We here at Manhunt Daily encourage you to make responsible decisions in your sexual activities, however you may interpret that. Please head over to Manhunt Cares for more information on safer sex techniques.”

Key words? Responsible decisions. However you may interpret that. The fact of the matter is that you’re all adults (or at least you should be if you’re reading this). You can have sex however you want to have sex. Make it romantic. Be rough. Fist one another. Cuddle vigorously. Give someone an enema facial.

However, whatever you’re doing, make sure it’s an informed decision. Get tested. Know your status. Communicate with your partner(s). If you use condoms, make sure they’re the right size. These are just a few small steps to ensuring your sexual health, but there are so many others.

Educate yourself. Know the facts. That’s really the most important step.

Now, after I said I don’t want to be preachy, this is starting to sound a bit preachy. Sorry! I actually opted to write this post after briefly doing my research and coming across a whole other “disclaimer”:

“In order to create this film our models underwent strict screening for HIV and other STDs. Our studio used the RNA by PCR test, which is the most effective test available. Unprotected sex is not something we recommend or endorse, even if you’re in a relationship.”

That’s the message shown before Sean Cody‘s bareback threesome. They’re obviously just looking out for their subscriber’s safety, right? Kind of like how they’re looking out for their models’ safety (to their best ability) by getting them tested in the most “strict” and “effective” way possible…

But do elements of this disclaimer rub you the wrong way? Do they take it too far by saying you shouldn’t have sex without a condom, even if you’re in a committed relationship? Or do you agree with the overall sentiment of their message?
