Bareback: Fetish or sexual practice?

[onlyraw]

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”?

For a lot of guys …. Especially younger guys who did not live the through the 80’s and 90’s - so were not indoctrinated with “you must always use condoms EVERY time” … it is just how they have sex …. Especially now with PrEP they can even be a 70’s style cum slut - but not think of BB as a fetish 

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.

and I think some guys practice both …. just like guys who are into leather, cigars, bondage, etc. …. Some times may just have “normal” sex and sometimes have “fetish” sex (whatever that fetish might be)

Oy. This is where I get on my soapbox. Apologies.

I have an issue with the entire concept of labeling something a fetish or a kink, since to me that implies there's a non-fetishistic/non-kinked (aka straight?) way of having sex and feeling desire that is the standard. This bugs me deeply. For some people anything outside of procreative sex is already beyond the pale, and I hate to confirm that view.

In my opinion we're already weighed down with the baggage of being sexual outsiders without coming up with additional categories. If it pleases you to regard it as a fetish, fine. I love worshiping the men I have sex with (sniffing, kissing and licking dick, balls, ass, body, everything!), which I suppose could be considered a kink/fetish. At the same time, it's what I enjoy greatly and resent having it labelled as "weird." I've been with men who aren't into it so I adjust as needed. Yet, I try to find guys whose desires are complementary. It makes everything more fun!

Stepping off soapbox now. Thank you for your attention. 😏

Sexual Practice and Natural. I have no interest of ever allowing a dick in me with a condom on.
