In an earlier blog, (see http://www.josephsciambra.com/2013/03/gay-porn-unwittingly-reveals-cause-of.html) I extensively covered the long history of daddy eroticization in gay pornography; i.e. the incessant tableau of the older male (oftentimes in the guise of the biological father) seducing the younger man. For young adult gay men, these films represent the materialization of a fantasy: the healing of a childhood breach between father and son. In the pornography, this father-wound is resolved through sex; usually by the older male anally penetrating the younger man. Except, the dangers are very real.
One recent study found that intergenerational sex encounters among gay men: “can potentially expose young men who are just exploring their sexuality to older men who may be living with HIV infection.” An earlier study conducted in San Francisco is more specific: “older gay men (because of their higher seroprevelance [the number of people testing HIV+] levels) have been (and continue to be) and important source of HIV infection for younger men.” Therefore, these daddy films are horrifically dangerous to the boys watching them: as they misleadingly offer-up a solution to their gender identity disorder. For, in the gay lifestyle, there are many older men waiting to initiate young newbies and twinks into the world of homosexual sex. And, they could end-up dead. Significantly, and it’s no coincidence: New HIV diagnoses among gay and bisexual men between the ages of 13 and 24 increased by a staggering 132.5 percent between 2001 and 2011, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
