Bareback: Fetish or sexual practice?

[YourNoLimitsBottom]

I just look at bareback as a natural progression of a relationship. We can start out safe but it pretty much always ends up bareback. I enjoy it but just think of it as sex, not a fetish.

I think it can be both … it depends on how you do it. …. Or more specifically if you verbalize it … how important doing it raw is to you. 

are you “fucking” or “fucking bareback”?

but for veterans (survivors?) of the 80’s and 90’s who now BB and make being verbal about the fact that they are fucking raw, having unprotected sex, not using condoms….  Than for these guys at that time …. It is a fetish 

So I would say that most of the guys on here …. At least some of the time enjoy the “fetish” …. Or at least “fetishize” BB sex.

 

Thank you, this is perfectly said. 

I never say "fucking" without saying "fucking bareback".  The distinction is huge.  I love using bareback as a verb and as a noun.   I love seeing and hearing the word when I'm spun.  If you don't mind me verbalizing during sex I'll say the word "bareback" 100 times, often without any context at all.

"Unprotected" is also a hot descriptor when applied to someone's hole or cock.

I'm really fucking verbal when we're actually fucking (bareback).  I don't say "fucking bareback" though because I guess I assume (if I'm meeting someone online) that if they've scanned my profile for even a second, the "bareback" is just assumed....

@onlyraw I think it can be both of these things, but it can also be a third thing.  Some gays in the early days of HIV/AIDS refused to use condoms and only fuck "raw" as opposition to the whole "safe sex" movement and what they say as the governments oppression of homosexuality and lackluster response to the early days of HIV/AIDS.  Who would have thought - bareback sex as a protest! 🙂
