What makes you go bareback?

[WildBreed]

Sometimes I find myself wondering why I crave su much bare cock and cum. Given that bareback sex is, almost , always a free choice, what makes you overcome your fears and take any cock, any seed from anonymous tops? 
Is it really the desire for sexual intimacy or is it rather an unspoken wish for self hurting and obnubilation?

 Results of 2011 behavioral study below:

An ethnically diverse sample of 120 mostly gay-identified men who engaged in "bareback" intercourse was recruited via the Internet in New York City. By study design three quarters of participants were HIV-uninfected and engaged in condomless receptive anal intercourse. In the course of face-to-face in-depth interviews, participants were asked what led them to have their first bareback experience as well as to continue with the behavior. Qualitative analysis identified the pivotal role that sexual pleasure and intimacy have in this population and how drives for sexual satisfaction, adventure, intimacy, and love overpower health concerns and condom use recommendations. Men interested in bareback sex use a variety of defense mechanisms to account for, justify, and exonerate their behavior. HIV-prevention interventions have paid insufficient attention to libidinal drives, a crucial element of psychological functioning.

For me it’s because I have an allergy to latex. Yes, I realize that I could use non-latex condoms, but I’ve been barebacking for so long now that I can’t stay hard if I have one on. Hell, even seeing one in porn is a turn off for me, save for the Condom Break series by RawJoxxx.

When I was with my ex, we made the decision to bareback. And after we broke up, condoms were used with other guys, until I met a top who said “I’m going to bareback you.” And I said “no your not.” Then after smoking meth, he barebacked me, and I had forgotten how good it felt to have raw cock in my ass, and never went back to condoms again

In the 70's fucking meant fucking bare and condoms were for preventing pregnancy simply because condoms are a big obstruction in the fucking for both, the one fucking and for the one getting fucked. One of the reasons I like to bottom bareback is because I know how much more enjoyably fucking bareback is for the guy topping, especially when the guy is shooting and his cock is free inside my hole. As a bottom I cannot stand the feeling of the condom rubbing against my hole so I only get fucked bareback for that.

I totally enjoy the feeling of a juicy ass as I slide in and out of it.  Especially love working my cock into an ass that already has a load or two in it.  You can't feel that with a condom.   I'm uncut, so I also like to peel my foreskin back now and then when fucking... just for some variety.  It's hard to get the same feeling when wrapped.

When I bottom, I want to feel the natural warmth of a hot, juicy cock sinking inside of me.  I love feeling a guy slap his cock all over my ass lips before pushing inside.  I can feel his precum making my outer hole slick.... and then the feeling of my ass opening up when he starts to push in again.  

And of course, I love to seed a juicy hole just as much as feeling a hard top unload his seed deep in my guts.  That's a great feeling.

I started barebacking occasionally because guys I wanted to fuck me asked to go raw and sometimes because actually while fucking guys would slip the condom off and I was too far gone to actually want to stop. However my actual decision to bareback full time was prompted by a hot guy who I’d hooked up with refusing to meet a second time unless I agreed to go raw. Once I’d made that deliberate decision- rather than the spontaneous horny heat of the moment ones - there was no going back.

[Guest BreedMeInVegas]

Plain and simple for me, getting fucked without a condom feels better then getting fucked with one.  I'd be willing to guess that most guys fetishize it though which can be evident in the terminology used.  Getting bred, taking it raw, taking a load, seeding a hole, fucking someone unwrapped, etc.  Heck, even using the term "fucking bareback" instead of "having unprotected sex" has a more energized sound to it.

I don't think there is any bad reason for or against enjoying it, and simple personal choice is just as fine.  But when you start to think about the different reasons guys have, it can be a bit of an interesting look into humanity and how we are all different in so many ways.

Do they still make lamb skin condoms?  Not sure if anyone else remembers them, but all I remember is the different smell, and how fragile and non-stretchy they were.

[Yes]

Lambskin condoms are available in Canada and probably elsewhere as the brand name Skyn. They are not believed to provide much protection against most STIs and are really more of a contraceptive. As I understand that's why they fell out of use. I have heard that if contraception is your main goal they are much better than latex/poly options sensation-wise. Because part of the function of the guts is adsorb nutrients they are not a perfect barrier especially for very small viruses.

I read a really good piece of journalism a few years ago about the history of the condom and the reasons why they suck so much. It talked about how during the AIDS crisis the FDA et al  realized they should probably regulate these as medical devices so just sort of arbitrarily made up a bunch of rules and tests by which to evaluate how well they worked. I wish I could find the piece. As I recall one of the tests was to fill the condom with 1L of water and if any water leaked out it was considered to be too permeable to offer protection from HIV. Which is a really ridiculous idea; wtf. And prevents the manufacture of well-fitting condoms for guys with smaller cocks. The whole thing was basically about the train wreck of regulations developed by people who really didn't know how to think about what they were doing. I can't find it tho.

[Yes]

I personally really don't mind condoms but in the past years with prep being more available and a better understanding of HIV treatment, expectations have changed. The guys who are interested in the kind of sex I want do not want to use condoms. Like specific guys who used to be fine with them now refuse. Since I want to please them and there is not a really compelling reason to do otherwise, I decided to relent.

Actually I will tell you the other side of the coin which is where I came from: I had to work through feelings of uncleanliness and danger with regard to the bodies of other men. And general cultural sex negativity that makes STIs seem like a much bigger deal than could be rationally justified. The fear was totally out of proportion to reality. Flu is more dangerous than chlamydia but I don't wear a respirator every time I go out in public. Any human interaction could potentially lead to communicable disease, that's just part of nature. A niche which will be filled by natural selection.

This just in from the Bureau of Obvious Research! lol Who are these jokers. Hopefully having it published in a "respectable" format will make it more believable. I'm sure people have been saying this for 30 years though.

Quote

Reasons for bareback sex appeared to be post-hoc rationalizations to manage the apparent contradiction or maybe alleviate the discomfort about voluntarily engaging in a behavior that could be harmful.

This from the article which I only quickly scanned. An extremely dismissive and patronizing position. However I do note this is from 2011 which was different medically. If interested should probably check out the list of articles that cite this work as it looks like there are relevant up to date pieces. Perhaps more insightful.

Also it looks like they used Freud's ideas about sex to structure their thinking. This isn't my field but isn't that a bit cray? Do serious sciientific people actually lean so hard on him nowadays? major red flag for me in terms of the usefulness of this work and the potentially limited insight the authors have into humans.

Once I felt an uncovered cock in my ass(about the 3rd time I was fucked), I knew that I was not going to demand condomed fucks. If the top wanted to fuck me with a condom, I went along with it without comment. As I got turned onto anonymous encounters, the amount of condom use dwindled and now none of load taking encounters involve condoms. I just plain love the feel of a bare cock in my ass and all I want want is the cum that comes with it.

[Guest Descartes70817]

During the '70s when I had my first experience of sex with other guys condoms were for preventing pregnancies, so wearing one to fuck another guy was unnecessary. Even when I fucked girls being on the Pill was almost universal, so again condoms weren't needed. Then circumstances resulted in me very rarely having gay sex for 30years, which coincided with the AIDS panic years. 

Then work required me to be away from home for several months, and I decided to use the time to indulge myself before settling down and growing old and boring. One of the things I needed to do was have gay sex again, but with HIV around at first I was a condom Nazi. This just didn't feel as good as my memory told me it should feel, and the first time a bottom 'stealthed' me by sitting on my cock without even trying to put a condom on me first I just knew this was the way it was meant to be.

[coastalbender]

I had it both ways, and bare feels better inside my ass. That being said, while I prefer bareback, I leave it up to the top. He gets to control where his cum goes. It's amazing how many tops suddenly forget "safe only" when I tell them I love the feel of cum splashing my insides and I want to hold it in me until it's all absorbed.

[Hornyone]

If I am completely honest it is ever since becoming poz , so I figure what the fuck I all ready have it. And now I would not have it any other way! Just feels sooooo good!
