Gay Guys Only: If you fuck bareback why do you do it?

I read somewhere that the mutation of the human red blood cell shape that lead to an imunity to the black death in 'some' people, is being researched because people with this blood mutation have an abnormally high resistance to the HIV virus.

It's amazing, i'll see if i can find a like.

If 2 people KNOW their HIV/AIDS status is negative for 1 year, its fine to go w/o a condom. That is if you trust that person and I do!!!

Fuckin shocking isn't it?

Anal intercourse poses a higher level of risk than vaginal intercourse. During unprotected vaginal intercourse, the man is being exposed to vaginal secretions, and possibly menstrual blood as well. During anal intercourse, the man is being exposed to blood (bleeding is common during anal intercourse). Because blood contains higher levels of HIV than vaginal secretions, the risk of infection is greater during anal intercourse. Also, because of the increased amount of friction that occurs during anal intercourse, there is a greater chance for cuts/abrasions to occur in both partners. This makes HIV more likely to enter the bloodstream during anal intercourse (as compared to vaginal intercourse). Unprotected vaginal intercourse is considered high risk for both partners, but unprotected anal intercourse is considered even higher risk.

Forum on Safe Sex and HIV Prevention: Anal vs Vaginal Risk

I agree. If you're at a point where you have trusted each other for a long enough period of time and you both agree, do without the condom if you so choose.

A lot of people get really keyed up about this topic, which I understand. HIV has killed a lot of people and hurt even more. But if there's no HIV there's no chance for transmission. Play as you please.

Would I prefer to bareback? Yes.

Would I bareback while in a committed monogamous relationship following mutual testing and after asking myself if I TRULY trusted this other person (male or female) and said, "yes"? Yes!

Would I bareback any other time? No.

Have I had the opportunity? Have I been in throes of sex and asked to fuck without a condom? Yes.

Did I do it? No.

Have I ever barebacked without being in a committed monogamous relationship following mutual testing? Yes, a very long time ago and both my partners were virgins. I was a virgin in the first case and in the second I hadn't had sex with anyone other than two other virgins.

It was awesome and I loved it.

I know I may never be able to bareback again so I treasure those times when I did it. I count myself fortunate that I was able to do so without fear.

I definitely think there's something to be said for being able to have unprotected sex. I find the intimacy particularly intense and more spiritually fulfilling than with protected sex. For me, it's easy to see why barebacking is so seductive.

No they don't. The famous expression is still "No glove, no love".

bolded the important part.

playing down the risk of unprotected vaginal sex is utterly irresponsible!
fact is, you can get aids from having unprotected sex just once.
quibbling over <5% variations in the odds is meaningless.

I can't believe I just okayed barebacking.

It's only because, if you're totally committed and monogamous and know each other is STI free you're really only risking a yeast infection under your foreskin or a urinary tract infection - and that's only if there's big ol dookies hangin around.

Barebacking serially, whether vaginally or anally, is clearly risky and, in my opinion, showing extreme disrespect to your partner.

Hasn't stopped the porn industry(straight). In fact creampie genre is more popular than ever.

nope, it hasn't.
and there've been aids cases because of it, despite all the testing they agree to.

imo, those people are just fucking morons.

bestiality porn is also big business.
so is bbw porn, despte the obvious and well known health risks.

anyone taking their safety and morality life lessons from porno films has some serious retardation.

I think the problem with the poll is that there isn't a choice for not barebacking only in a monogamous relationship or for not barebacking at all.

Bareback porn is hotter to me than non-bareback porn. Porn is a fantasy for me and my fantasies don't include condoms. I'm not so naive to believe that every couple/three way/ten way is monogamous or has been tested. For all I know they're all HIV+ or maybe they're all HIV-. I don't assume either way.

*Pup runs for cover!*

be afraid!

be very afraid!

Does HIV spread inter-species? I looked at a little bestiality porn a few months ago and wondered about that. The disadvantages are manifold, of course, but I doubt you get HIV from the animals, more likely ringworm of the dick (if that exists), and I saw this incredible site called the Elite Zoo where all these sow-fuckers were going on, plus a video of a hugely obese guy getting cornholed by his pet stallion. Gross!

What is bbw Porn? bareback something?

bbw=big beautiful women...obese chicks.

no, you don't get aids that way.
my point was that "porn says it's ok!" is hardly a morality award.
