Barebacking

http://www.whatisprep.org/

I mean.... It doesn't protect you from everything, but it's still pretty nice. If you really want to bareback, start taking PrEP.

I always wonder on what grounds you guys think you are more likely to catch HIV from an escort than someone you hook up on those antisocial networks or "dating" webshites, or from someone you meet at a party or whatever...

I've never said that. :D

I can't believe that in this enlightened age there is even an appetite or need for a conversation about barebacking.

The fact that there is, is testament to the ignorance, stupidity and selfishness of our own society.

Wow! Such hard core disdain for the opinions of others.

RedVeX posed a fair question about assumptions. I look forward to a fair answer some time.

I'm not one of those guys, but I would guess they base it on number of partners increasing the odds (while ignoring that a pro is more likely to take precautions).

We're all on this planet as a result of barebacking and if there was no risk from STD's we'd probably all be doing it.:shrug

Basically this, plus, from reading some of the posts on here at times, there appears to be a train of thought that "trannies" are more of a risk than GG's.

It's not like we are talking about barebacking within the context of regular relationships which is where most pregnancies occur.

We are talking about it within the context of an exceptionally promiscuous group and as such the risks are vastly increased. As a result, so should the precautions be.

As for "Distain for the opinions of others" you may, for instance, choose to drive your car as fast as you fucking well can everywhere you go putting your life and that of everyone around you in danger but thinking you're an idiot for doing it isn't having disdain for your opinion, it's recogniseing your actions as the selfish and dangerous practice that it is.

Now I choose to be in this lifestyle even though I recognise the increased risk to my health that it brings but, as far as is practicable, I do what I can to reduce those risks for myself and others and to this end avoid barebacking and those who practise it.

Number of partners aside, GGs are less of a risk. Gays and trans are considered higher risk groups.

This site gives estimates of the risks from engaging in different sexual activities without protection. https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/risk/estimat...behaviors.html

Receptive anal sex is by far the riskiest. The reason is that the lining of the anus is thinner than the lining of the vagina, so more prone to slight tears as a result of sexual activity. Being the active partner is much less risky.
