Hi there!

Welcome to Breeding Zone, the best place to go for information, tips and stories about barebacking. Since you decided to join our community of nasty men, please take the time to read a little bit about how it works, so you have a more pleasant experience here.

Men bareback for many different reasons, and what turns on one may be disturbing for another. While we deal openly with subjects related to bugchasing and drugs, we try to keep them in a special section called The Backroom that can only be seen by registered members. That way, people who might be offended, digusted or threatened by those topics can browse the Breeding Zone forums without concerns about these subjects showing up. Some of our users are in recovery, so please make sure drug-related posts go in designated areas. If you are in recovery, contact one of the moderators and we'll make it so you can't see those sections of the site.

This is a forum by gay men for gay men. There are some heterosexual and bisexual barebackers and bugchasers, and since there aren't other places for them to discuss their feelings and desires we give them space in our community, but we still remind them that most of our users have zero interest in straight sex or pics of naked women, so posts about straight sex are restricted to a dedicated straight/bi section. Likewise, pictures of women are not allowed in the gallery portion of the site, but may be attached to posts in the heterosexual parts of the site.

Ditto for cross-dressers and transsexuals – the whole fem thing isn't something most men are turned on by sexually (straight men are more into that, actually), so please keep those posts in the dedicated cross-dresser / transsexual section. [FTM trans guys are welcome to post wherever – just keep the pussy pics to a minimum in the more public areas.]

In general follow these rules when posting (the rules are ordered, the first one you hit that's a match is the one you should follow)...

1. If it's about women or heterosexual sex, post in the Hetero/Bi section of the site (posting hetero topics anywhere else will result in a temporary ban from the site - there are no warnings)
2. If it's about cross-dressing or MTF transsexuals, post it in the fem trans / cross-dresser section of the site (posting in other areas may result in a temporary ban from the site).
3. If it involves drug use, post in either the Chem Sex Stories section (fictional stories), or in the Sex With Enhancements section (discussion topics)
4. If it's a about bug chasing, gift giving or HIV as a fetish, post in the appropriate section of The Backroom (fiction, discussion, available bug chasers, available gift givers, poz guys looking for a recharge)
5. If it's about STD fetish (other than HIV) or the kind of AIDS fetish that encourages people to get sick and/or die, then it's not allowed anywhere on the site. Read more about this policy.
6. If it focuses on a fetish other than fem fetish or poz fetish, post in the appropriate portion of the fetish section which is broken down into "hardcore fetish" (things with an "ick factor") and "mainstream fetish" (things with no "ick factor").
7. If you're writing about a personal sexual experience - post your story in the Members' Blog section (blog posts are moderated before they go up so be patient - do not post discussion topics - they'll be deleted)
8. If you're posting a fictional story, post in the Bareback Stories section
9. If you're posting that you're looking for a hookup or have a city or region-specific topic, post in one of the Regional Hookup sections
10. If you have a problem or question, post in (or read) the Tips, Tricks & Help section
11. If your post is about bareback porn, post in the Bareback Porn Discussion section (new threads are moderated before they go up - never mention or link to a site that has pirated porn - you'll get banned - there are no warnings)
12. If none of those other things fit and you have a general discussion topic, post in the General Discussion section

I know that's a lot of rules, but keeping things where they belong helps everyone - you'll appreciate the organization as you use the site more and more.

Also, please realize, while our community is made of nasty, sweaty fuckers and pigs, that doesn't mean we can't have intelligent discussion and be polite to each other. We want a community where people feel free to express their opinion and exchange views, where nobody feels uncomfortable or insulted, even if people disagree with them. So far we have been remarkably successful in achieving that goal, but we need your help to keep it that way. If you have a problem with someone, choose your words carefully - there's always a polite way to tell someone they're wrong.

And if you have any doubt or are experiencing problems with the website, please don't hesitate in sending one of the moderators a message.

UPDATE: There have been some additions to the rules since this was originally written and posted. I am adding these details here, so they will all be in one place. 

1. In addition to not linking to sites with pirated porn, you should be careful about linking images produced by porn studios and/or commercial photographers. There is a full discussion of this topic here.
2. You are not allowed to post about sex with minors (under 18). You can talk about your underage sexual experiences, but that discussion should be brief and clinical and NOT eroticized. There is a full discussion here.
3. Since the FOSTA/SESTA laws passed, we have had to restrict discussion about real-life escorts and escorting. Fictional stories about escorts in the appropriate sections are still okay. Please refer to this detailed Dos and Don'ts for much more detail. 
4. Discussions and/or pictures involving scat are forbidden. See more details here.
5. Discussions and/or pictures involving K9/Bestiality are forbidden. 
6. Obscenity: Posting pictures of STDs as erotica is forbidden, Snuff. 
7. False statements and promotion of conspiracy theories are forbidden.
8. Do not spam the forum. Do not post multiple copies of the same message in different places. 
9. Complaining about getting an infraction. 
10. Word filters that make it impossible to post certain words exist for a reason. If you do anything to circumvent them (b@d w-o-r-d, for example) you will be subject to an extreme penalty because you are demonstrating that you know what the rules are and have chosen to break them anyway. 
11. MAJOR UPDATE: A major new category of infraction was added in March 2021. You should go here to read about it.

Just two-cents: I'd be completely into a cd/ts/tg section.

This is a good summary of the rules governing this site and overview of the forums/groups available. Could the content of this thread be sent as a welcome email message to everyone just joining the site or drop it into the FAQ rules section to refer to. It would have helped me if I had seen it sooner--I just stumbled upon it now.

Guys, 

 

There have been lots of posts violating these rules lately. Please give the rules another look. 

[Barehorny]

oops, sorry for having post my question on the wrong forum. Didn't mean to get against ur rules. It did make sense to me to post a question on a place everyone could be able to see it & give his point of view. Understand everyone & not only the guys from the black room. I had this written on the question so I gues you understood the idea & fact nothing wrong was made on purpose. Anyway, I won't do it another time. Sorry for having given you extra work  

[naugthySon]

Sorry for having post in a wrong group. It was my first one and I wasn't completly sure where to post it as in Europe hookup there's not a Italy section. 

 

My mistake. Sorry. 

 

Thank guys

what an excellent idea. That would have saved me. I joined ages ago but have only begun to use it and scored myself 3 warning points for positing a sex story in the last load section not realising that my bug chasing muses were against the rules. Incidentaly, i wrote to the moderator. It would have been polite to get a reply or acknowledgement that the points were noted.

Wish this had been pinned a bit higher in the listings :-(

I am sorry but I posted my pic in the community section when editing my profile.  Please delete it and I'll figure out where a post-op TS's pics are okay.

There are several pinned messages. There is no way to force this one to stay on top. 

You can post your pics in a thread in the Crossdressers and Transsexuals area of the forum

Or in private messages to interested parties.  Welcome to the forum!

The rules are malleable, as I learned this week. Moderators can edit your content without any notification even when that content does not violate any of the so-called "rules." The word choices and punctuation were changed in one of my posts, resulting in a post filled with awkward word choices and grammatical and mechanical errors. When I asked the site administrator which rules were violated that justified such extensive editing, here's the pompous response I received:

"Honestly, I don't have the time to look it up. Good moderators are really hard to find. The site wouldn't exist without them, so they can sorta do no wrong in my book. Whiny bitches who complain a lot about things being unfair – they're easy to find and bring down the site."

So, in essence, the words you post on this site are subject to change at the whims of moderators. I can point to countless examples of rule violations on this site, which means rules are not consistently followed or applied.

This whiny bitch will indeed bring down the site. Every time I see a violation of the new FOSTA law, I'll file a complaint. The stories on this site are hot to read, but there are plenty of other social platforms available now.

This is a great site and it would be a shame for it to be damaged in anyway. What other 'platforms' do you refer to?

If you find rule violations, report them. I can assure you that if you have seen a post that violates the rules, and the person didn't get an infraction, no one on staff has seen it yet. 

Do you really not understand that you are demonstrating to everyone that you are indeed a whiny bitch?

Yet you promised never to post again after your last post was allegedly "moderated" ...

Hi rawTOP - many thanks for this info, and for providing this site!

Do you mind if I ask, are there any other pages dedicated to the rules - or is this "Read this before you post" the key info. Just wondering, so I can enjoy the site in the best way possible.
