Through this reflection, I arrive at the conclusion that the time was right for an aging twink performer to be freshened-up by a transition to bareback-similar transitions of which have become widespread across the gay porn landscape in the intervening years between the 2015 Johnny Rapid Goes Bareback event and the present day, thanks in no small part to advancements in HIV prevention technologies. Johnny Rapid began his porn career at the start of the 2010s as a fresh-faced 18-year-old, shooting scenes with Boys First Time and Bukkake Boys before signing with Men as an exclusive and releasing his first scene in November 2011. At time of writing, toward the close of the last decade (November 2018), Rapid was just five scenes short of his 200th scene with the studio, and while his age was beginning to count against him, remained a major player-ranked Men’s “most liked” performer with more than 6,800 audience ‘thumbs up’. 1 He was also named as the second most searched for gay porn star in Pornhub’s 2017 “Year in Review” annual analytics report (beaten to the top spot by relative new-comer William Seed, also a Men exclusive) 2 and was the 2017 recipient of Str8UpGayPorn’s Best Gay-4-Pay Performer award.

Latino bareback gay pornhub series#ģ Rapid’s success in 2018 appears to have been buoyed by his highly publicized bareback debut a few years earlier (in 2015, in a series known as Johnny Rapid Goes Bareback), which forms the focus of this article and raises questions that are still relevant at time of revision and publication (in June/July 2021).
How was Rapid’s immense popularity leveraged to help launch a new “rough sex” porn studio? Did this move help to revitalize Rapid’s fortunes, who aged 23 at the time of his bareback debut, was a twink performer nearing the end of his expected porn lifespan? And what insights into the mainstream integration of bareback and ageist restrictions normally placed on twink performers are to be gained from textual analysis of audience reactions to Rapid’s bareback debut? Audience reactions that, as I note briefly, also reveal certain class-based assessments of Rapid and his infamy at the time. My qualitative method-textual analysis in the cultural studies tradition (see Fürsich, 2009)-is used to interpret audience reaction to this debut (both the performance itself and the notion of a ‘star’ being used to promote a bareback launch event), drawing out key themes for discussion. This process reveals a decidedly negative reception of Rapid, the promotion of bareback as event, and the quality of the bareback performance itself, all of which I read in accordance with what these narratives have to tell us about bareback at the time. Yet, I also take the opportunity-writing several years after this critical moment in Rapid’s career (in 2018), and then at the time of revision and publication several years after that again (in 2021)-to reflect on the success of the campaign. He leans in to lick the cum off Saul’s thick brown cock.Specifically, I read Rapid’s transition to bareback in line with the concept of time, which has particular resonance with bareback. Angelo’s sticky sperm drenches the short fuzzy curls that cover his tight belly.
But Saul pulls out and sprays his hot splatter first, pounding back in to breed the twitching hole. He turns to crouch with one leg up as Saul drills in raw and juicy. Angelo grabs his cock and starts beating it fast. Rocking Angelo back onto the black leather sofa, Saul lets loose and pounds his cock in to the hilt.
Saul grabs his hot bottom’s meaty thighs and guides him down. Angelo grinds down on the thick straight fuckpole, slapping his ass onto Saul’s smooth tight nuts. Just an extra gob of spit and that dick is ready and sliding into Angelo’s furry hole. He peels off Saul’s undies and takes the hard uncut piece into his cockhungry mouth. Angelo gropes Saul’s big dick inside his jersey shorts and leans in to gnaw on the big guy’s nips. Angelo is a bearded Panama cub with a big appetite for bare cock, and Saul is up, stiff and ready. Sexy Colombian Saul is a classic Latin lover, with dark brown eyes and thick black hair that flops into his face when he’s screwing a hot raw bottom.
