Analysis on NIH Website of Johnny Rapid Barebacking

The strangest thing I have seen on a government website: an in-depth analysis of Johnny Rapid's move to barebacking. From the the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a part of the US National Library of Medicine (NLM), a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH):

Abstract - " This article explores a critical moment of going bareback in the career of arguably the biggest gay porn performer of the 2010s, Johnny Rapid. The analysis 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—to reflect on the success of the campaign. I read the case study in line with the concept of time, which has particular resonance with bareback. 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."

It's strange because the US doesn't seem to care much about public health, and especially not AIDS.

Porn provides at best a middle class lifestyle. That's for your Johnny Rapids who have contracts with actual studios. For most it's just another gig in between their other gigs.

I can't believe we still have posters who think porn pays well or that the people in it are pulling down major bucks.

I liked the 2 scenes he did with Rafael Alencar, they were both younger. Rapid climbs the walls of a gym shower to be impaled. In the follow up, he's climbing the walls in a narrow room with sinks and windows.

I looked at his TikTok and he does seem to embrace his queeniness now. Good for him. I imagine being from the South and more than likely raised religious could have been why he was so in denial of his gayness despite doing gay porn and cramming big dicks up his ass. So many of these gay porn stars especially from conservative areas claim they are straight and only gay-for-pay but like 80% of them are just closet cases. If you are just doing gay porn for money, why would you keep doing it for years? You can tell the ones who are straight, their dicks are floppy as fuck. Johnny had a hard-on, moaning like crazy and grinned while getting fucked. Fooled nobody

That goes for all so called "gay4payers," even with multiple cocks up their asses they still deny their attraction to the same sex. It's all quite amusing to be honest. Good for Johnny for getting rid of the self hatred. He's still has a ton of issues though...

Please, Johnny is not "becoming gayer"! He's doing the mincing queer act on TikTok because that's what's become cool since Harry Styles, etc. But no gay men in the history of the world has ever walked around public spaces looking for underage girls to join a threesome with his girlfriend. That's bullshit. That little pervert is straight. And no doubt some of his fans are just as perverted as he is. Like the weirdo at r28 talking about Johnny's "little body".

r81 Of the other g4p stars I've followed - such as Paddy O'Brien, Marcus Mojo - none say they dislike what they do. Quite the contrary. And some, in fact, go on to identify as bisexual, even though, if you go on their twitter and see their Likes, it seems they're only attracted to women. Maybe they enjoy performing with guys, but only enjoy looking at women. (And, yes, I know there are some performers who say they're bi or straight but only 'like' men's photos.)
