Britain's largest producer of gay porn says in a statement that it will stop producing so-called bareback porn - porn where the performers have unprotected anal sex.

The company, Icreme, told BBC that all their porn performers would use condoms from now on after BBC Newsnight broadcast an investigation into bareback porn and the possible link with performers contracting HIV.

"The vast majority of porn nowadays is done without condoms," Icreme claims on its website.

"To operate safely, all of our models must have a test every 28 days.

"We pay for an NHS test, which conclusively proves a negative HIV status within the last 48 hours. We will not tolerate anyone who acts in an unsafe way in their private lives."

A man convicted last week of inciting a child into pornography was a former Icreme employee, Pinknews.co.uk reports.

48-year-old Rufus Ffoulkes, of Alexander Road in Lowestoft, was sentenced to two years and eleven months in prison.

Floulkes recruited young men for his homemade porn films from the website Gaydar, one brought along a 16-year-old boy. He paid the teenager £500 to appear in a photoshoot then directed him in a bareback porn film unconnected with Icreme.
