More Sex Ed From "Dr." Corrigan

I previously wrote about porn star Brent Corrigan's collaboration with with Washington, D.C. , STD prevention group D.C. Fuk !t, to produce educational videos to hopefully reach the youth element of the LGBT community which is participating in alarming amounts of unsafe sex and contracting HIV at disturbing rates - especially given the knowledge that now exists as to how to prevent HIV infection and the spread of other STD's. Sadly, much of the free porn online - which frankly is where many gay youth learn about sex since it surely is not addressed from a gay perspective in all too many public schools - does not include any message as to the dangers of unsafe sex. Since Corrigan is young, cute and apparently well known in the porn world, he is a perfect choice to assist in hopefully getting the attention of young gays and helping them avoid a potentially life changing medical disaster. The latest revealing yet informative video can be found here (warning, NSFW) and The Advocate describes it in part as follows:
*
Porn star Brent Corrigan is back with another condom education video for STD prevention group D.C. Fuk !t, this time offering up a crash course lesson in lube application and the various types of STDs that spread without proper condom use.
*
Corrigan starred in a number of bareback gay adult films before he was 18 but has since become a vocal spokesman for safe-sex education. D.C. Fuk !t offers sex education through a series of sexually explicit and provocative videos that “use sex to sell" safer sex.
*
Orgaizations that assist those with HIV/AIDS - locally these are ACCESS AIDS Care and TACT - do wonderful work, but the far better approach is to stop the spread of infection in the first place. If the new DC Fuk It video campaign saves individuals from infection, kudos to Corrigan for his cooperation.
