It’s extremely rare for bug chasing to be featured in a commercial bareback porn production, with one of the reasons likely due to legalities, but Treasure Island Media had the balls back in 2011 to incorporate a bug chasing theme in their raw fuck flick In The Flesh, which was a movie produced by British porn director Liam Cole. This title was produced before PrEP became available and the entire movie featured 34 men fucking raw. Even though this movie features an element of bug chasing, it’s important to point out that this article and discussion does not infer that intentional HIV transmission actually took place in the movie.
Positioned between scene one, where Peto Coast raw fucks and seeds Florian Manns and scene two featuring Aaron Lamb getting gangbanged, is an email extract written by a fan to Liam Cole revealing that he is HIV-negative, but is turned on by having unprotected sex with HIV-positive men. Rob4cum wrote a detailed email to Liam Cole and a lightly edited and compressed version of the original email appeared between 15:12 and 16:56 of the movie, with bareback action from Aaron’s bareback gangbang taking place behind the text as it scrolled up the screen, with a red hue embracing the colour of HIV-positive imagery, making you feel more connected to what the author is saying, whether this was done intentionally or not.
As the movie was produced before PrEP became available, if any of the participants were HIV-positive and detectable (whether they knew it or not), then anyone who participated in the movie who was HIV-negative at the time was putting themselves at risk of HIV infection, which could be said for any bareback production made at the time. This is what makes movies produced in this era so exciting, as viewers don’t have full access to the HIV-status of the performers, which cannot be disclosed by the studios under HIPAA Laws, so viewers can then use their imaginations to fulfil their desires.
The original DVD cover was designed by Clay Conrad and the back cover featured imagery of Aaron Lamb getting bare gangbanged by Frank Klein, Jason Stormme, Myles Bentley, Marc White, Ozzy Will, Paul Mann, Mark Dann, Anton Dickson, Bruce, Pierre Lion and Nikos, although the DVD cover design has since been remastered and now looks different. Liam Cole is very passionate about his movie masterpieces and he often built up the anticipation for the movie releases by writing about his upcoming movies on his blog and he would also provide commentary on other blogs, such as the Treasure Island Media blog. Liam’s productions have always focused on the element of realism and when you’re watching his movies, he helps you feel as though you’re there in the room with the guys fucking based on his filming style.
As the email text that appeared in the movie was lightly edited, a copy of the entire email that was sent to Liam by Rob4cum from Florida is presented below so you can read the entire message in full context. The email was written on July 2, 2011, which was later posted on Liam’s now defunct blog and also on the Treasure Island Media website. The author of the email (according to the author of the comment) replied to the post under the username of “pozmeraw” in 2018 and stated “I was quite honored to have authored this and then years later accidentally see it in the beginning of the Aaron Lamb gang bang. I feel proud! Still whack off to hot conversion scenes.”
Liam – I love your mind. You are a genius at getting into the mind of a bareback bottom like me. I want to live out all the fantasies I see in every single one of your videos. You know what us hungry pig bottoms want. I’ve watched your videos for years – fantasizing about letting tops bareback me. I wanted to feel them raw inside me – fucking me like a man and not holding back – I would watch those hot young bareback bottoms taking loads and imagined myself offering my raw neg hole up for everyone to breed. I started to bareback with “neg” tops and I was hooked.
– Rob4cum
Feeling them cum in me just made me want more. I found top after top to fuck me raw – I got so hungry for cum that as long as their profile said neg I just let them cum in me no questions asked.
I jerked off to your videos with cum in me hole and I imagined it was hot toxic HIV AIDS cum. I kept finding more and more bareback “neg” tops and sometimes I’d get 2-3 loads in a day and then again I’d jerk off watching your vids wishing I could take all those loads. I was fucking poz bottoms all the time – sometimes they had poz cum in their asses and my cock loved that feeling. One pig bottom I fucked took 10-15 loads at a bookstore every weekend- one time i was high and i couldn’t get hard to fuck him so i let him fuck me knowing he was HIV poz – I was imagining that I was now acting out things I had seen in your videos…and I LOVED it! I started to get scared about how far I had taken this…I asked him to pull out but it was too late – my hungry hole had already milked all of his seed into me – he never let on that he had been stroking his sweet gift into my thankful and hungry hole… – when he told me he had cum the shock and fear made me clench immediately on his still shooting cock – I’d crossed a line and there was no going back. I was being given the gift finally – it felt right.
I regretted it a little at first but then I kept watching your videos. I wanted the life of the bottoms I was seeing – You were in my mind and showing me exactly what I wanted.
Later that morning still out of my mind and watching your videos while full of the cum dump’s cum, I found a poz top online and didn’t mention my neg status.. he looked poz and I took his load this time begging him for it. It felt so hot to finally feel comfortable about openly asking for what i wanted and not feeling bad about it. Now I had two poz loads in me and i was finally free – there was no going back – I was becoming an HIV cum dump and let me tell you I have no regrets. I would love to be a blindfolded bottom in one of your videos – I want other young bareback bottoms to see me taking loads and wish it was them. I want to help these boys get the gift and join the club. Hopefully seeing me will encourage them.
The term “bug chasing” is used throughout this article, but some may consider that the context of the email that was sent to Liam is more about being more poz friendly and not about bug chasing at all, even though the author refers to himself as being an “HIV cum dump.” It’s possibly because the term “bug chaser” was not used in the marketing material for this movie to make it more acceptable, but when you explore the words written in the email a little deeper, this seems to be what the author of the email was inferring. The author refers to “toxic HIV AIDS cum” (the word AIDS did not appear in the movie) and highlights the fact that he’s HIV-negative and also talks about swapping loads with HIV-positive men. The sentences “was being given the gift finally – it felt right” and “I want to help these boys get the gift and join the club” really supports that the author is referring to bug chasing and gift giving.
Some of the feedback about the email aspect of the movie is positive, with someone leaving a comment on the Treasure Island Media blog referring to the email being an exercise in creative writing (fantasy), with Liam replying with “What makes you think that? Sounds a lot like the experiences of plenty of people I know.” Perhaps the hottest reply came from MarlboroPozPig who said “Bug-cum is a powerful, right brother? Leakin germ’d jizz in your honor! Be proud, be poz, fuck loud, be-cause (poz sex is what we’re made for).” An article written about this movie at The Sword resulted in a comment from David that said “I’m a Raw fucker and I love also being a cum dump. Sex has never been so good since I play bare, like the animals we are. I’ve been POZ for more than 10 years, it was my choice. I did help boys who wanted to get pozzed but no one is ever forced.” And naturally there were some negative comments too, because there will always be someone who isn’t happy about something.
As with a large number of Treasure Island Media releases, this was a fantastic movie that is highly recommended. Many of the earlier TIM raw fuck flicks could be considered some of their best due to the groundbreaking themes and the fact that the models embraced bareback sex without worrying about the risk associated with having unprotected sex and just fucked raw because that’s what they love doing. This movie embraces skin-on-skin sex, with the “flesh” component of the title reinforcing this and the fact that Rob’s email was displayed before Aaron’s bareback gang bang where 11 men fucked him raw and swapped cum with him makes the scene even hotter!

That is an amazing piece. I probably have seen the video so many times I don’t even remember but now to have all of that information that you were so kind of gathering to present and such a very concise easy to understand format I think my dick’s gonna get that much harder the next time I see it. It’s nice to see subject matter introduced the way that people start to understand. It’s not that horrible and should not be judged.
One of these days I’m going to get completely fuckin high put my ass out there. Just see what happens to show my support for what they’re doing. 😈😈
I got a cat thank you enough for posting this.
Such a great article. Conversion porn should be mainstream and celebrated. It’s so exciting
Love it
Anton Dickson is out about being poz and so is Jason Stormme I believe. This is the type of videos Treasure Island needs to get back to making. Lately it seems to be all South American or Brazilian produced videos that are so bland and boring.
I would love to see Treasure Island Media filming movies like this again too Aron. Something that showcases the risky element of bareback sex or embraces poz pride. A lot of bareback porn produced these days (from a variety of studios) just doesn’t have the same intensity and sex appeal as it once did.
love the article
I’m glad you enjoyed the article Matt.
Great read!! i’d have loved to have been in that film, breeding arses ?
Thanks for your comment Ashley and I’m glad you enjoyed the article. I’m with you about being in the film – it would have been a fantastic experience for sure and the guys who were in the film sure looked like they were having an awesome time barebacking and exchanging cum!
You might appreciate this gif of Liam Cole
Thank you for sharing this Neil, it’s extremely hot!
Hi Jason, I loved reading this article, and watching TIM clips / pics. I love raw fuck videos, and this one seems to be exceptional (although not watched in its entirety yet). The raw fucking is so hot, how men are supposed to fuck. I love the possible / probable exchange of poz cum in these videos. Rob4cum’s email is so hot to read. The reference to Toxic HIV AIDS cum is so powerful see. I hope his email is an inspiration to all the bugchasers here. Neil
Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed reading this article Neil and it was a pleasure to write. All the videos from Treasure Island Media are fantastic, but some of them, like this one, really stand out! The raw fucking in this video is fantastic and real, which makes the action more exciting, because you feel like it perfectly captures the sex we have in our own lives. Rob’s email was very exciting and I can only imagine how excited he must have been when he pressed send, knowing Liam was going to soon be reading what he had to say.
Thanks for another great article, @Jason. I was struck by Rob4Cum’s letter and, in particular, his progression from barebacking with self-professed neg guys to openly poz. That sounded very similar to my own trajectory, which began as a curiosity about barebacking in general, but has since developed into full-on bugchasing. His comment that “it felt right,” really struck a chord. That’s exactly how I feel as well. It’s not just that it feels good or makes me horny, but that it feels “right,” like the way it should be. Anyway, thanks again for a thought-provoking article!
I’m glad you enjoyed reading this article BarebackNorth and Rob’s email is a powerful read, particularly when it follows a similar path many of us are experiencing or in the process of taking. It was as though Rob was taking smaller steps in the beginning, but then he felt the need to take the plunge into full-on chasing and now he’s proudly embracing it. It was also great seeing Treasure Island Media incorporating this email into their movie “In The Flesh” and positioning it right before the bareback gangbang featuring Aaron Lamb that also involved a blindfold. Rob’s email struck a chord with me too and it felt so right reading what he wrote, because what he described makes us appreciate that others are wanting the very same thing.
Hi Jason @Jason thanks so much for this outstandingly exciting and fundamental story – and I agree that the email intersected and played like this between the 2 first scenes cannot be categorised as anything but intentional and indeed PRO bugchasing PRO pozzing
did you have any chance to communicate directly with Paul Morris or Liam Cole about their fantastic achievement here?
It’s my pleasure to have published this article Carsten and I’m glad you like it. The email featured in the movie definitely has a poz focus and also highlights the HIV-negative status of the author, which really brings to life the meaning of what the email is really about, which in my mind is bug chasing. I haven’t interacted with Liam Cole before, but I have communicated with Paul Morris briefly and Paul also follows me on Twitter and saw my Tweet about this article and he reTweeted it. I probably should email Liam and Paul directly to let them know how much I appreciated this movie.
I believe “Van” said perfectly in his comments. Raw manly fucking is Hot!
Thanks for the clip, Jason. TIM was so instrumental in the sexual lives of so many gay men (and I even know a few straight women that watched their films).
The clip shown is really from their Glory Days, when they were the outlaw in mainstream porn, they were ostracized by the big studios (many of which are gone now), excluded from events like IML and Folsom Street Fair, but they persisted, thankfully.
I think in many ways, they became a victim of their own success as bareback porn quickly took over the market and one-by-one, the studios started doing raw fucking. The big holdout was Titan, which produced some beautiful artistic porn with condoms, but ultimately folded as they had become the outlier and raw porn the standard.
Now, models are largely producing their own content through fan pages, selling their own subscriptions, producing their own full-length videos. The gay porn market is constantly evolving but TIM played such a seminal (!) role in making it what it is today!
My pleasure Van, you’re very welcome. Treasure Island Media is a bareback porn studio that has always been there for us, documenting unprotected sex and capturing raw sex on film at a time when many men where afraid to have sex without a condom. The studio continued to explore bareback sex through their growing number of titles and even though their movies were made commercially, they always captured sex that felt real, like the kind of sex we have in our personal lives. I’m happy to hear that you know of a few straight women who also watched their films, which shows the studio has a wide audience.
Even though the studio still produces a sizzling lineup of titles, I also agree with you that their earlier days were some of their best, even though they continue to produce an exciting number of videos. I will always be a Treasure Island Media fan and I thank the studio for producing bareback porn in their earlier days and for continuing to provide us with quality bareback porn in the current day.
The world is saturated with bareback porn these days, although I do consider much of it to be plastic and not exciting at all, with the focus being quantity of quality, when it should be the other way around. The explosion of amateur bareback porn through models selling video subscriptions through fan channels is also creating challenges for the studios, but I’m glad they’re not giving up, because they still have a lot to offer. It will be interesting to see what the future brings, but when it comes to bareback porn, Treasure Island Media will always be a studio that makes me feel good and proud of who I am – a raw fucker!
Indeed, Jason,
I credit my first sexual awakening largely to the old Falcon Studios of the 80s-90s (“pre-condom”) era of blond boys fucking by the pool. And then my second sexual awakening much later with Treasure Island (and SX and Hot Desert Knights as well) showing how real man-to-man sex was supposed to be.
These studios created great memories for us. I also loved the movies from Hot Desert Knights and SX Video, which is why it’s great to see Treasure Island Media still producing bareback porn today, since the other two studios stopped many years ago. There’s something special about watching men who love fucking without rubbers, admiring their primal energy as they’re fucking raw and swapping loads, which is actually what sex is all about.
Great article and very horny video clip at the end. Brave and committed guys doing their thing, fucking freely without fear. So hot ☣️☣️☣️
Thanks Jez and I’m glad you liked reading the article and enjoyed watching the movie trailer. I agree with you about the men in the movies at the time being dedicated raw fuckers, because anyone who appeared in the bareback movies who was still neg was putting their status on the line. If any of the men were poz, they might have had undetectable viral loads, but there’s always the risk that someone isn’t undetectable. This is why these movies included an element of excitement based on the risk factors and it’s hot watching these sexy men fucking without worry, which even the movie marketing acknowledged with “Liam records this ever-growing sexual underworld of those who fuck without fear or caution.” The promotional material also included “His videos are an affirmation to every man who lives this way, and a call to all those who don’t: you may be missing out on the time of your life”, which is also very true.
Hi, very interesting article, Jason and very hot. I like to think about the bug chasing in their videos, who knows! If you want read about Peto Coast, bed time stories, petocoastxxx.wordpress.com The link is on his Twitter account.
I’m glad you like the article Dark. When you watch any of the Treasure Island Media movies, they really do make you think about raw sex a lot, with some of the titles such as Knocked Up and Viral Loads making you think about poz cum too. Peto has a great blog and it doesn’t look like he’s updating it these days, but one of his posts also includes links to his socials, which is very useful for anyone who would like to know more about him. I appreciate you including the link so others can check it out.
Thanks for the info on Peto, I didn’t know he was blogging in the day.
Another TIM star from that era was Anton Dickson – he compiled his memoirs of his piggy days in two volumes which are still available on Amazon here https://www.amazon.com/Chronicles-London-Cumpig-erotic-memoirs-ebook/dp/B00GVLPMKK?ref_=ast_author_dp
You’re welcome Van. Peto is a very interesting person and you can learn a lot about him through his blog articles. Thanks for the information about Anton Dickson, I didn’t know he compiled his memoirs and I’m sure his two books would make an interesting read, and it’s great that they’re only a few dollars too. The reviews seem mixed, but I think I’m going to take a look at them anyway, as I’m always interested in reading about piggy sex.
Always loved Peto Coast …
I feel the same way Miguel, Peto has a plump uncut cock that has been used to fuck many men in an aggressive manner over the years and he has been passionate about barebacking for a long time too, which is another reason why I like him so much.
have seen a couple of scenes with Peto Coast – but is he confirmed poz ?
Peto has worked for a few bareback studios and it’s great watching him in action. It’s always good to take a look at the bottom’s facial expression as his hole is getting drilled intensely by Peto’s powerful cock. Peto has never revealed his HIV status (to my knowledge), so I’ve never discussed his HIV status or that of any other performer who has not revealed their HIV status publicly.
