- What is Bareback Sex and how would you make it less-risky
Hey! Listen up. If you’re thinking that Bareback-ing is the way to go… consider this a 101 lesson for you.
Bareback
For the rest of you who do not have an idea about what Bareback Sex is, it’s an anal penetration without any protection, i.e, condoms. As equestriennes would put it, bareback is when you ride a horse without a saddle. The saddle is the condom, just so you know. *winks*
It may be more pleasurable because of the extra friction, but trust me when I say you don’t want to take a fraction of your life because of it. It is the riskiest sexual ordeal, especially to the lovely gays out there. Since you’re not protected with a condom, you’re more open to STIs and worse, HIV transmission.
You usually do it through anal. According to a study, it carries higher chances of STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection) transmission than any sexual contact because the anus linings are thin and can be damaged easily. This is what makes it more prone to infection.
Even if you both tested negative for HIV, there’s still a higher risk when doing it.
What you can do
If you are that scared of contracting the virus but do not want to give up bareback-ing just yet, PEP can partially help you. Post-exposure Prophylaxis is available at any sexual health clinics and is highly proven to be effective in stopping HIV transmission.
But going on pills does not guarantee you a risk-free option. Take care, y’all. You’ve been warned.
