![]() 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. 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. I read the case study in line with the concept of time, which has particular resonance with bareback. 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. 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. This article explores a critical moment of going bareback in the career of arguably the biggest gay porn performer of the 2010s, Johnny Rapid.

Aunt Charlie's Lounge: In the gritty, unvarnished meatiness that is the San Francisco Tenderloin District, this beloved drag bar is an SFO institution of considerable acclaim.

Those who were closest to Klein had for some time been anticipating a D-day on the substance-abuse front. There was also reason for concern on a more personal level. ![]() I remember thinking, What’s he going to do? What are we going to watch?” “What are you talking about? Like, you’re a workaholic. How wrong I was.” Klein’s daughter, Marci, a TV producer, couldn’t imagine her father without his label. “Will he regret that he sold his business? How will he react?
