Our resident sexpert Colby Keller found himself in a bit of controversy last week, when his name showed up in a press release for bareback studio Treasure Island Media‘s latest flick MILK IT. The gay porn blogs were simply buzzing! Had Colby—a known safer-sex advocate—taken a turn toward raw fucking and leaky, cum-filled holes?
The short answer: “No”.
“I know a few of the folks at TIM and they’ve always been so kind and generous with their support of me and my work,” Colby told Nightcharm editor Mark Adnum. “I think we have commonalities in being labeled as ‘outsiders’ in the porn industry, but for obviously different reasons. The guys there know that I wouldn’t participate in an unprotected anal scene, so they found a way to have me work in a film where I was able to play ‘safer’ and I’ve always wanted to work with my scene partner [Morgan Black]. He’s so handsome!”
Colby shared some additional comments on his own blog Big Shoe Diaries, writing: “The same cameras Treasure Island trains on internal creampies didn’t somehow magically infuse my handjob with the heebeejeebees. And they won’t infect your eyes either if you watch the video.”
He explains earlier in the post that he joined the film’s cast to show support for HIV-positive performers and apologize to all the poz men he’s “refused the pleasure of engaging simply out of fear”… And as you might gather based on recent entries here, we support Colby in this endeavor.
On that note? Look out for the next round of In Bed With Colby Keller videos, coming soon(ish) to Manhunt Daily!

This is stupid. Especially doing it with TIM which does not only tolerate HIV+ people but promotes the virus as the latest glamourous accessory for gay men .
Didn’t the owner say something like ” Negativity is the new virginity”?
It’s not safe for these HIV+ people either to fuck each other without condoms. Co infections do exist and they are a major public health problem.
Fuck this crap . If anything these people are an insult to all those who died from the virus back when tritherapy didn’t exist.

The only insult here is you. “Tolerate HIV+ people?” What an ass. I can’t tolerate people like you that seem to think a person who is HIV positive should be locked away in a camp like the old leper colonies. It is a disease, and one which people successfully live with. Why don’t you crawl back under the rock you came out from under.

I’ll be the first one to admit that I am terrified of getting HIV. (granted, I also carry the stigma of having come out to my dad and he screamed at me, you’re gonna get AIDS and die)
I know you can live with it, I know it’s treatable. But, now I’m thinking about the financial expense, i mean paying for my own education, rent, and then on top of that, medication… there are practial reasons, why I have safe sex! 😉
And the stigma, and the hit on your self-esteem and many many factors.
Still, if I met a guy, who was great, and giving, and kind, and honorable, who through some unfortunate set of choices or circumstances had HIV. would I date him? would I develop a relationship with him? YES. I would. He’d just have to understand that safer sex rules would apply, period. no, discussion. Ultimately, most people with HIV, are not whores, who are out to destroy the community. They just aren’t as lucky as some of us have been. And let’s face it, I think we’ve all gone there and then said, “great, now I gotta get tested.”
Although hj didn’t state this in the most…um…eloquent of manners, I agree that HIV isn’t something we should ‘promote’, so to speak. You’re right: it’s a disease. With that being said, I don’t want anyone advertising cancer, polio, diabetes in a way that makes it seem like something other than a disease. Yes, people can live healthy lives with HIV, but much like the other diseases lifted above I think taking measures to prevent and hopefully even stop any illness aren’t something we should toss aside (granted the analogy between the diseases isn’t perfect, but I think I’ve made my point) and TIM kind of does that.
Am I allowed to comment on Colby’s beautiful cock after saying something like that?
Because it’s beautiful.
Doing a video for a bareback company and promoting safer sex practices sends a mixed message, in my opinion.

What a bunch of poz-phobic losers you all are.

I think it’s sad and disappointing that Colby Keller would involve himself in any way with Treasure Island Media and the sickly twisted culture it represents. As hj correctly mentioned in an earlier post, it was TIM founder Paul Morris who infamously declared HIV-negativity to be “the new virginity,” as if to suggest that seroconversion should be something to which one should aspire. One of TIM’s latest films is named for and depicts intravenous drug use in the context of high-risk sex. There are innumerable discussion board posts on TIM’s website that speak of the intentional transmission and contraction of HIV by its followers. And as hj also rightfully stated, there are significant medical risks associated with HIV-positive men fucking one another bareback, which is the very basis for most of the videos produced by TIM. It doesn’t matter whether the specific act that Keller performed for TIM was or wasn’t safe. What matters is that he would choose to associate himself with such a depraved and despicable company.
Yet we’re to believe that Keller made this choice as an expression of support for HIV-positive models and as a form of apology to those men whose company he has declined due to his own pozphobia. How very magnanimous of him to do this by allowing a poz guy to give him a handjob, an act that’s virtually certain to be safe regardless of the statuses of those involved. (Yes, Mr. Sexpert, it’s OK to allow someone who’s poz to touch you.) If Keller were really serious about bridging the negative/positive divide, perhaps a more convincing approach would be for him to don a condom and safely fuck an openly poz model for a responsible, respectable and health-conscious studio.
hj slipped up by using the phrase to which you understandably objected, but everything else he wrote has merit. He said nothing to imply that poz folks should be locked up in camps like lepers.

Did he engage in unsafe sex? From this video he didn’t. He got a handy from someone. Is unsafe sex reprehensible? Not for those who choose to engage in it. Yes, there are those who choose to get involved in practices that aren’t in the “norm” but aren’t the practices of gays not “‘in the norm”?
And….it’s not just in the gay world that people don’t use condoms. I’m a big ol’ homo who loves watching gay sex, but on occasion i like to watch a guy’s dick fuck a vag while he sucks another guy’s dick…but for the love of God…they KNOW what they are doing….and they KNOW the risks.
Gay sex is supposed to be enjoyable…some people enjoy it in different ways. Anyone can enjoy sex the way they want and the people that are enjoying it their way don’t judge the people that don’t enjoy it their way. They just do it…
You have sex the way you want and let others have sex the way THEY want. If you are safe then be safe. If you’re not then know who you are with so that you CAN be. If you don’t like someone elses’ way of having sex then don’t have sex with them. It’s that simple!
I don’t know how this rant got so long, But if you do what you need to do then there isn’t any question about what needs to be done. Just don’t judge others on their choices…because they ARE their choices…their decisions and their crosses nto bear. NOBODY can judge others unless they have been in their shoes….Which HOPEFULLY are Prada, because that would be sacrilege! lol lol
Simply put I will not participate in UNPROTECTED sex NEVER HAVE and NEVER WILL I do not care how hot the guy is it is just not worth the RISK !!! In all honesty even with a condom I probably would not participate if I knew the other person was infected with HIV and I guess that some what unfortunate because so many times people tend allow there fears to stand in there way losing sight of the fact the opportunity may never present itself again I once met a very nice , very handsome , sexy , intelligent guy who wanted me to FUCK him bareback I very polite refused and that was that and we went our separate ways , I know that I made the right decision but sometimes I wonder about what might have been ….
Eli I hope you and your dad have since come to terms and everything is OK .perhaps your father response was out of LOVE but blind side by fear at least that is my hope !
Commenter, I just knew that you were going to chime in and I gotta say you KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. Well done.
Quite right 🙂
Thanks, Michael.
You two need to get a room.
Sounds good to me. So much so that I’ll up vote that suggestion.
Michael, I’ll bring the condoms (I keep different sizes on hand) and you bring your favorite lube, OK? 🙂
You are so on! I still have the image of your sweet cock and round rump nestled in the Cellblock 13 jock burned into my mind. Be sure to bring the Magnums. Just saying. ;0)
