I've been topping raw for the last few years and love it... don't ever want to use a condom again.  My New Year's resolution this year was to bottom raw for the first time.  Still working on getting over that hump.

I'd be up for a meet.  Been wanting to check it out.

Coming of age in the safe sex era of the 1990s, I was brainwashed to use condoms religiously and had a lot of hang ups about HIV/AIDS.  Over the years I gradually grew desensitized with advances in treatment, bb porn and sites like this one.  Nowadays it seems like almost everyone fucks raw.  I held out for many years but started occasionally topping raw a couple years ago and was amazed at how much better it felt.   

Recently I've made the decision to start barebacking exclusively.  Not sure exactly what motivated the change other than a recent birthday and perhaps an early mid life crisis.  More to the point, I guess I've finally grown comfortable with the risks and my tolerance has increased realizing it's no longer the end of the world if I poz up - in fact it could be the beginning of a new adventure recognizing there would be highs and lows.  Perhaps I'll feel differently if and when it happens but for right now I feel like I'm living more authentically than I have in a long time and enjoying my sex life. 

Oops... just saw the forum on PrEP on here... guess I'll start my research there. = )

I've been giving some thought to going on PrEP although I'm not sure I could pay more than $100 a month. Anyone know where I can find out more information about the pros and cons of PrEP or is it still to new?

34 y/o versatile neg guy in decent shape interested in meeting poz guys in NYC for friendship, conversation, and exploring the city. Not opposed to having fun in the bedroom as well but prefer to take it slow.

Everyday for an hour or so mostly just reading the new posts but occasionally a story. I also wish there was a chat function.

Hooked up with a vers. poz top from Manhunt last night. He had an 8.5" dick which was the biggest I've ever ever sucked and a sweet tight hole. Dumped a load in his ass but kind of wish he'd return the favor.

I've read these posts with interest and it has made me think of another group not yet mentioned...

What about neg guys who lie and say they are poz? Is this a group we should consider and what percentage of guys might comprise it? Should we encourage this behavior or disown it?

On the one hand, it is clearly a lie and often times done intentionally to mislead someone and thereby seemingly unethical. However, I can also see how this could be an important last step for a chaser going forward. If they are able to own HIV by thinking of themselves as a "poz" man and be comfortable with that and what goes with it, then perhaps that would be the clearest sign for us and them that they really are ready for conversion. And if they really are owning this status and thinking of themselves in this way, would it really matter if they were still technically neg?

I guess the larger question is when we talk about chasers and guys who claim to really want it, is this something we should encourage them to do as a way of figuring out if they can handle being poz?

I'm also thinking of taking the next step and bottoming raw for first time. Can someone advise about cleaning out and the proper preparation/etiquette for bb bottoms? And what are the best ways to go about it?

In a similar situation here in NYC and also facing an increasing # of new infections. I've been conflicted for a long time, but after a year of not having sex, I've concluded option © is no longer viable. So now that I'm starting to embrace being poz, the question is whether to go about things and let nature take its course or actively seek out the bug and poz on my terms with a poz top of my choosing. I'm actually leaning toward the latter. For some reason I feel more comfortable with my choice doing it that way.

Where does topping an "undetectable" guy fall on the risk spectrum?
