Award-winning director Chi Chi LaRue is currently on set directing his first bareback, condom-free gay porn production of his career, \u2018The Pledge\u2019 for Falcon Studios. The feature picks up on the iconic Pledge Master franchise that began with 1988 Falcon super hit The Pledge Masters\u2019 and was followed up with equally popular features \u2018New Pledgemaster\u2019 (directed by LaRue) and \u2018Pledgemaster \u2013 The Hazing\u2019.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018The Pledge\u2019, co-directed with Tony Dimarco and set for release in March 2019, has LaRue continuing the wildly successful series\u2019 legacy with its first bareback installment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Until now, LaRue spent his entire gay porn career as a staunch condom-only production proponent. Formerly and frequently criticizing studios that produced bareback content, Chi Chi did not take the decision lightly or hastily. \u201cMy criticisms in the past always came from a place of concern for the well-being of performers and from the responsibility I had for sending a message to viewers about the importance of safer sex practices,\u201d sincerely states LaRue.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, this was a very big decision for me. I had to be confident that we would be in the safest space possible with the group that I could trust, and that\u2019s why I chose to do it with Falcon Studios. I started working with the studio 30 years ago, right after the beginning of the AIDS crisis and when Chuck Holmes required condoms in all Falcon movies. Chuck made the right decision to send a message and to help stop more people from contracting HIV or dying from AIDS,\u201d LaRue continued. \u201cI would not have made the decision to direct a bareback production unless I could be 100% confident that all the proper procedures were followed, and I knew that Falcon Studios Group would handle all the protocols relentlessly.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, if there is any confusion about what kind of message this might send. I will always champion the need for safer sex practices and encourage all our performers, viewers and fans to take care of their sexual health. It\u2019s 2018, and there are many ways for us to stay safe and enjoy an active sexual life. Get tested, communicate with each other, learn about all the safer sex options available to you and make informed and healthy decisions that are right for you,\u201d LaRue concluded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI know that making the decision to shoot his first bareback movie was a very big deal for Chi Chi,\u201d stated Tim Valenti, Falcon Studios Group and NakedSword Network President. \u201cI\u2019m happy that he was most comfortable with and chose to do so with Falcon Studios Group. We pride ourselves on the safety of our models and would not have started shooting condom-free productions for any brand without being absolutely certain that they would be safe.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Falcon Studios will release its first bareback production in nearly 30 years, \u2018Beach Rats\u2019, on FalconStudios.com on January 11, 2019 and release it on DVD and download on January 18, 2019. The studio follows the strictest testing and safety standards for all its models.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
