With a rise in HIV and a booming business in the bareback porn industry, ex-porn star Jack Ryan opened up to the Advocate about being drug free and the guilt he felt for doing bareback porn, his thoughts on HIV+ porn star Mason Wyler's transition into bareback movies, and why he urges everyone to not only practice safe sex, but to support safe sex movies. Great article by the way.
COMMENTARY: Someone just messaged me on Facebook to say I am a role model to them, and that excites me and scares me at the same time. I did porn to rebel and not be normal, but even in rebelling, you gotta keep boundaries.
Safe sex is a must.
For those of you who don't know, I did a bareback movie in 2008. I'm not gonna even mention the studio or the title, because I do not want anyone to purchase it, and I don't want to promote it.
At the time I choose to do it, I had just lost my mother and my dog to cancer, within a year of each other. I was using hard drugs to dull the pain. I became an addict and did self destructive things because I no longer cared. Not that this is an excuse, but drugs really screw up your sense of right and wrong.
I was offered more than double what I used to make doing scenes in porn to do bareback. Many thousands of dollars for a two-hour scene. It was a top scene, but one can still contract HIV through topping. It's less of a risk, but still a big risk.
