I'm started to understand that I should watch these with headphones on! I did with this episode and the sound is amazing! Thank you Sully!

You have a great looking webpage Mr. Sullivan! Keep up the great work on these little video gems. I always look forward to seeing them.

I agree to the words of my previous speakers.
Thanks for your work.

I have to say, I really love that straight guy's dick. I love a nice head, and they're so damn hard to find! :P

marcus iron is working for bb companies now? i always liked him he made safe sex look hot inhis movies i guess hes decided to go over o the other side.. kinda sad..

What's the name of that song?

Beautiful episode. I'm learning to expect emotion (melancholy, especially) from your work, Mr. Sullivan. A word to Pat: dude. How utterly lame to call TIM "the other side". Working for TIM is an ascension from the bullshit fake sex of the other companies. Seriously. What's "kinda sad" is your kneejerk crap-slam of things you just don't accept. Take the blinkers off, man.

Hermosa manera de narrar. Me reconozco en ti.

To Pat:
It's interesting that you consider TIM the "other side" and yet here you are on a site that is all about the "other side" If it's such a bad thing why are you here?

Keep up the great work Ryan

These vignettes you create are an art form in themselves. Seemingly unrelated images that all actually have a underlying connection. Like other's who commented, I look forward to your updates. In fact, I look forward to them more than the next film from T.I.M. Until your blog appeared with its episodes, I did not realise the potentiality of porn as art. Your vignettes have also made me realise and appreciate the skill of Paul as a director and photographer. I just knew before that I like the natural quality of T.I.M.'s videos. The lack of condoms is secondary to the fact these men are having sex without the phony sets, the phony dialogue, and the phony sense of environment. With all that, I still loved every video I could find with Marcus Irons.

i apologize if i offended anyone ..was not my intention. what i mean by other side is bb sex vs the condom sex in flicks tim is hardly alone with bb sex vids.....its two sides one with one with one without thats all i meant. what i found sad was that either marcus is poz or he doesnt care ..i find it sad when people become poz thats all, i am not trying to be offensive or condesending surely its not a happy thing is it ? when i have had friends that became poz it made me sad i didnt say gee i am happy to hear that! i like the stuff tim does i think alot of it is hot ..two (or more hee hee) guys having bb sex does not always mean someone is going to become poz, both could be neg or both already poz..whatever..michael i hope i explained myself a little better i wasnttryingt o piss anyone off..and to mike j as i mentioned i think tim does hot stuff thats why i am here ..i wasnttrying to dis' them at all..

saying that being hiv positive is sad qualifies pat for the dumb-shit of 2010 award - so far.
marcus' career transition only ups his stock in my book.

PF i did not say that i find someone with hiv sad..what i DID SAY was i find it sad when people BECOME hiv+...i find it sad when anyone contracts a chronic medical condition..chronic refers to a persistent and lasting medical condition. Chronicity is usually applied to a condition that lasts more than three months, this can cover many medical conditions including hiv...my first feeling when i hear of anyone contracting a chronic medical condition is a feeling of saddness..i have (too) many friends that have become +, when i heard it, i felt sad (how the hell else would i feel?)..i am not sure how this classifies me as a dumb ass.. i was not dis' anyone with my thoughts i hope you understand what i am trying to say here thanks ;-0)

@ Pat

I can see you are trying to come from a place of compassion for the poor souls who have become positive. What your words truly convey is a sense of superiority. A false sense of superiority.

How should you feel when you find out someone is positive? Try being positive in your thinking. Instead of going right for sadness why not choose to think "wow there are such incredible drugs now for hiv. it's so good this person became positive now rather than 10 years ago."

Your pitying other people really does no good for anyone most of all yourself. It's really kind of self righteous in that you think Marcus must be positive or he doesn't care. Who are you to make that presumption?

You may mean well but it's coming out all wrong. You really ought to think before you put your fingers on your keyboard.

*SIGH* i give up...lol..but thank you Adam for your kind suggestions.

I love how you incorporated music into this video. The camera angle moving from the candy machine to the cock sucking is perfect.

Another song that would be perfect for you to use is Sex Medley (Itunes) -

MARCUS IRON!! I do hope this means he'll be working with TIM soon - always one of my favorite men. I thought I recognized his dick through a glory hole in a previous TIM vid... maybe it was?
Oh... sorry. Nice video, Ryan. I got so excited to see Marcus I forgot my manners!

@Adam: "Wow, there are such incredible drugs now…" That is so idiotic I can't even believe it. Patients who contracted HIV just a few years back are showing signs of premature or accelerated aging. Early senility is an increasingly common problem. One large-scale multicity study found last summer that over half of the HIV-positive population is suffering some form of cognitive impairment. Doctors are reporting ailments in middle-aged patients that are more typically seen at geriatric practices, in patients 80 and older, ranging from bone loss to organ failure to arthritis. Making matters worse, HIV patients are registering higher rates of insulin resistance and cholesterol imbalances, and they suffer elevated rates of melanoma and kidney cancers and seven times the rate of other non-HIV-related cancers.

Yeah, if Marcus Iron is positive (and, man, I sure hope he's not; I always loved watching him, that is what lead me to follow a link here), I'm sure he was THRILLED about all the problems that lie ahead for him, not excluding the cost of the meds, the toll they take, etc.

thanks Dan i wish i could have said it this well...it just seems so strange to me that i've run into people who known about what you've written but don't care...

Pat, you don't have to explain yourself to those guys above. You can have any opinion and feeling that you want to; just like they can. I don't give a damn how much pleasure goes into barebacking, cum, etc; being HIV+ isn't anything to be happy about. You can be happy living with HIV but having it is not da bomb. PF and Adam are the dumbasses. You want to be allowed to be "free" and do and say as you please but you want to take the option from Pat because he feels different than you. I'm not happy about anyone contracting any damn disease or being born with a disease. You shit for brains pissed me off going on at Pat like that.

First of all, I'm sorry Mr. Sullivan. This isn't a response to your very beautiful work, but to the posts of Dan, Pat and "itsme3".


To Dan and Pat and "itsme3":

God, I hate hysteria. I really do. You guys have to stop this and grow out of your addiction to foisting fear and shame on others. Jeez. For example, here's a quote from a very recent and reputable article related to hiv and melanoma:

HIV-related immune suppression does not increase the risk of melanoma, one of the most common types of skin cancer, American investigators report in the January 23rd edition of AIDS. The risk of [melanoma] was associated with increased levels of exposure to UV light.

That is, melanoma among hiv positive men is, like melanoma among hiv negative men, much more likely to result from tanning---going to the beach or using tanning beds. (citation: http://www.aidsmap.com/en/news/577F95B0-BFB5-4878-8A3B-4709B0A6DF09.asp . Read carefully, not reactively. )

Concerning the issue of neurological disorders, the point of these studies (particularly the CHARTER study to which Dan tacitly refers) is to hone the therapies and get rid of all side-effects for all hiv positive men. And we are most definitely nearly there. At issue here are studies that involved men in their 40s and 50s who have been on various drug regimens for a decade, two decades or longer. Some of the earliest drugs used by many of these men (such as AZT) are now known to be extremely damaging; the long-term hiv-positive men (again, those in their 40's and 50's, a major segment of the CHARTER study cohort) survived the use of AZT and are likely now manifesting problems related to that treatment, not to the newer therapies. The point of these studies is to hone the therapies and get rid of all side-effects for all hiv positive men. And we are most definitely nearly there.

There is also a significant history of drug use among those in the various studies, particularly speed. This is noted as a significant issue in all of these studies. For example, from [http://nymag.com/health/features/61740/ ]:

The [neuropathological problems] might be caused as much by the patient’s emotional and psychiatric burden as the virus’s pathological course. “We have screamingly high rates of major depressive disorders, substance abuse and dependency, and post-traumatic-stress disorder,” she says of the Brain Bank donors. “About 40 percent of our patients have major depressive disorders when they come to the study. Substance abuse and dependency, that’s a continually moving target, but when we run urine toxicologies, about 30 percent contain illicit substances,” she says. These multiple “insults to the brain” are enough to cause the entire upswing in dementias, she says.

The social environment of hysteria, recrimination, fear and shame are obvious cohorts (or, more likely, direct causes) of many of the problems long-term hiv positive men face. They are also reasons why so many gay men turn to drugs like speed: the culture in which they live has been reduced to an addiction to fear and recrimination. The mantra of the self-righteous, "responsible" gay man now being "If you're positive, your life is shit."

The fact that posters like Dan and Pat persist in trying to maintain a social and emotional environment of terror and shame only exacerbates the degree and number of incidents of PTSD experienced by hiv positive men. It also perpetuates a cultural environment so reductionist that many gay men turn to drugs to find meaning or to forget fear. In other words, Dan and Pat and itsme3 are more the problem than any treatment or even than the virus itself.

For a more balanced representation of the results of the CHARTER study (on which
much of the speculation regarding brain problems and hiv are based), I suggest you read the brief dialog with Igor Grant, one of the scientists who worked on the study at this link: http://www.thebody.com/content/art50559.html This brief article balances some of the latent hysteria that is in the New York Magazine article (from which Dan seems to have taken his uncredited quotes).

Again, there is strong evidence that a significant proportion of the problems are related to drug use, methamphetamines in particular. There is also the uninvestigated issue of smoking, stress and other issues. These are issues that point to the ongoing malaise of gay culture and the general emotional damage that the likes of Dan and Pat and itsme3 continue to inflict.

I would recommend these guys give more time to positive efforts: fight for universal healthcare and insist that the monsters who own big pharma lower the costs of all meds for everyone. Stop being negative. Be positive. At this point, you really are "the problems that lie ahead" for any gay man.

Michael Hofer

all i ever wanted to say was that i found it sad that some people with all this knowledge we have today will still consiously, willing decide to participate in behaviors that further this crisis...perhaps you felt i sounded negative, but surely people who willing choose these behaviors must share some of this responsibility...but you never mentioned how you feel about them..

Marcus sucked off 1 guy on a video log...I'm not sure this qualifies as working for TIM or any bareback studio. But if he did, I'd buy that video.

Michael Hofer YOU ROCK!!! You really get it! Fear, Shame, and Guilt of sexuality is at the root of hiv. Until we get rid of those emotions as they relate to our sexuality we'll never have a cure. People have got to embrace all their sexuality. Especially the parts they are ashamed and afraid of.

Remember people we are here to love ourselves then each other.

Hello OMG is this going to be a new video coming out that is rod spunkel whitezilla i really really want to see this video and any videos with him in it!! please help will this be released?

Does anyone know the name of the song used on this page?

TIM is hardly the other side, just the leftovers and never-rans of the same side. Early on the filmmaker (my guess is it's really Paul anyway) says the goal is to film men having sex naturally... then again and again he films them being told what to do. Doh! Regardless, if white-trash HIV+ sex is your thing, no problem here. I watch it as well (although I cut it off when it gets to the cartoon 20-loads-in-a-champagne glass crap). But Paul Morris isn't a mystery. He's just another sexual predator taking advantage of the weak and desperate. He'd probably do the same thing to children if he could. Maybe he has.

@Allen:

Your last two sentences I could have written. Morris is a predator, and I wouldn't put it past him to have done this to kids.
