Many bareback party participants enjoy barebacking parties for a number of reasons and one is being able to find a pool of potential sex partners in one convenient location. Another reason is the adrenalin rush resulting from the party atmosphere, where an element of excitement builds for the participants. Being able to connect with other guys who enjoy the raw sex party scene can establish a comfortable environment where the party guests can relax and know they are in the company of others who share a similar interest. Here are two main bareback party types:

Gang Bangs: One or two men (or more if the party is large) elect to be the bottom for the party and then get fucked by a number of tops. Sometimes slings are used for this type of party, although this is not always the case. At some parties the bottom is regarded as the “cum dump” and will try to take as many loads of cum in his ass as he can.

Orgies: Here you will find a mix of guys who are tops and bottoms, where the sex can be with anyone who takes the interest of another. The mix of partners will change during the party, as guys swap partners and change sexual positions. Guys will find other guys to fuck before moving on and having exposure to a number of different guys during the party.

There is a another type of bareback party which has the purpose of HIV sero-converting participants and this will be discussed in a separate article, as it is a serious topic which deserves its own coverage. Bareback sex parties will vary depending on the host and can include a variety of different settings. Sometimes the setting will be at the hosts own home, at other times it may be held at a sex club and quite often a hotel room will be used. Some participants enjoy the party atmosphere because it holds a certain level of anonymity.

There are a number of places where bareback parties are listed. Sometimes word of mouth is one advertising technique which works well, but in many cases listings appear online, at websites such as Bareback.com or BarebackRT.com. Some parties have dress codes, where all participants must undress at the door, while others ban drugs but may allow alcohol, cigarettes or poppers. There are also some parties where guests use blindfolds. Because there are so many variables when it comes to bareback sex parties, this is an aspect which can be seen as a turn on, as each party is different.

Due to the large number of sexual partner combination’s, bareback sex parties are regarded as high-risk due to their potential to spread sexually transmitted infections among the participants. Because there are usually many people in attendance at a party, it can be difficult to ascertain whether or not any of the guys have a sexually transmitted infection. The ability to hold a conversion where this can be discussed or checking for any visible signs of sexually transmitted infections is difficult. The risk can be reduced by holding parties where sero-sorting applies, such as an HIV positive only or HIV negative only party. It is important to note that in many parts of the world HIV positive people are required to disclose their HIV status before having unprotected sex, which can help those who may not be HIV positive to decide whether or not to proceed with a barebacking encounter.

Some bareback sex parties try to avoid spreading sexually transmitted infections by sero-sorting participants before they arrive. One well-known party which did this before the parties became defunct was Brandon’s POZ Party, which required all guests to be HIV positive to ensure that HIV negative guys were not infected at the parties. Brandon’s POZ party involved barebacking, but condoms were also made available for those who wished to use them, so the parties weren’t only about barebacking. Many parties require an application process to ensure that participants meet a certain criteria. If all of the participants hold a particular HIV status, then there is less risk of sero-conversion taking place, but different strains of the virus still need to be considered.

There are a number of ways that bareback parties could be made safer for those who are concerned about their sexual health. The party application process could ask potential guests sexual health questions before their application is considered successful. If a question asked guests about any sexually transmitted infections they have, then this information will help the party host determine whether or not the guest meets the criteria set for the party or whether precautions need to be taken. As some sexually transmitted infections are curable, questions need to be asked carefully to highlight current sexually transmitted infections. This could become complex, as some sexually transmitted infections can be cured, many can not and others can be treated so the symptoms disappear but are still transmittable.

If a party host does not want to ask such questions on an application form, then another possibility could be used by party guests when they first arrive at the party. Guests could take the step of identifying their HIV status using colored tape on their biceps, which will help other guests identify the HIV status of other participants. A color scheme such as green to identify HIV negative, orange to identify those who are not sure of their HIV status, red to identify HIV positive and blue could be used by guests who do not wish to declare their HIV status. For those who do not wish to identify their HIV status, they could choose not to tape their body and other guests would know that guests without tape do not wish to identify their HIV status. If someone is HIV positive, then they may still be required to notify potential sexual partners of their HIV status by law depending on their location.

The discussion of HIV status and identifying other sexually transmitted infections is not fun and might be dismissed by some guys attending bareback sex parties. Guests at bareback parties may not be concerned by the spread of sexually transmitted infections and for this reason may be comfortable with the high level of risk which can be associated with bareback sex parties if precautions are not taken to reduce the spread of sexually transmitted infections. For people who may want to experience the party environment whilst also being concerned about their sexual health status, then perhaps parties which set some health standards to help reduce the spread of sexually transmitted infections would be a better option for them.

Bareback sex parties are designed to be a way to have bareback encounters with others in a casual and relaxed setting. Because some guys may not want to get caught up with the health aspects of the party, they may choose not to attend parties which take sexual health seriously. But if a higher level of concern became the new standard, then it’s possible that guests could adapt to the new standard which would become the norm and then this would help promote some responsibility among bareback sex parties. Some parties already do ask about sexually transmitted infections and some also use methods to identify sexually transmitted infections, but each party is different and sets its own rules and standards.

For a bareback sex party to be successful, a number of rules need to be established beforehand to ensure that all guests have a good time and also know what is expected of them during the party. Because almost all bareback parties have rules to protect guests from the bad behaviors of others, the step of protecting the health of guests would work well towards improving the reputation of bareback sex parties. Bareback sex parties will always be high-risk and cannot be designed to be 100% effective in preventing the spread of sexually transmitted infections, but some steps can be taken to improve the health aspects so that guests can relax and enjoy themselves.

If you want to learn more about bareback sex parties, then consider checking out Raw Man Orgy, which is a website for guys based in Florida who hold regular bareback sex parties. While this article is not all about promoting bareback sex parties, those of you who are interested in how the parties work might find the Raw Man Orgy website an excellent resource to learn more about how the parties work and what you can expect from them.

The AIDS epidemic in the 1980′s which affected gay and bisexual men made a massive impact on sexual behavior and resulted in changes to sexual habits, such as men abstaining from sex for a period of time, or taking precautions such as using condoms. The freedom of unprotected sex without worry came to an end around this time. Some men may have continued having unprotected sex with other men during this period, but the level of unprotected sex at the time reportedly declined. For those who have experienced watching friends and loved ones suffer from the effects of HIV are likely to consider the health consequences of barebacking seriously because of what they have witnessed or experienced.

During the emergence of bareback porn in the early 1990′s at a time when many people were still reeling over what had happened in the 1980′s, controversy erupted when Hot Desert Knights Productions released their first bareback presentation Bareback Buddies. Many people could not understand at the time why a video production company would promote a video which did not consider protecting their models by using condoms during sex scenes. It was reported that Jackson Price, the then director of casting for HDK was quoted as saying to J. C. Adams of “The Adams Report: The GayVN Awards Show Highlights” in 2002 (no longer online) that “we assume everyone is HIV positive”, but as reported by The Sword on February 7, 2008 Hot Desert Knights Productions now test their models for HIV.

Since the 1980′s and 1990′s, more is now understood about barebacking and sexual health and people may now have differing views towards unprotected sex. Some people may have the view that unprotected sex is destructive and bareback porn should not be produced because it could potentially lead to an increase in the spread of sexually transmitted infections. Other people may have the view that people can make up their own minds about whether they engage in unprotected sex by making an informed decision and weighing up all of the facts beforehand. What will always be the case is that each of us will hold our own personal beliefs about bareback sex and bareback porn, but this does not mean that those who disagree with us are wrong, because there will likely be sound arguments for and against barebacking.

What is important to consider about barebacking is that unprotected sex is regarded by medical professionals as being the riskiest form of sexual intercourse due to the possibility of spreading sexually transmitted infections, including Human Immunodeficiency Virus, more commonly referred to as HIV and believed to be the cause of AIDS; the abbreviation for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Once a person is infected with HIV, they will continue to carry the virus for life because there is no cure at this time and it only takes one unprotected sexual encounter for a person to become infected with the virus. While barebacking can be risky, the level of risk varies based on a number of factors including, but not limited to the number of sexual partners, the health status of sexual partners, right down to whether you or your sexual partner have any cuts or abrasions which could expose HIV to the bloodstream.

Because each of us are different ages, may live in different countries and have had different experiences or been exposed to different situations in our lives, we may think about things a little differently. Some older men who may have known people who died from HIV during the epidemic may avoid having unprotected sex or sexual intercourse completely. Younger guys may not have had exposure to the effects of what HIV can do to a person or the complications of medications and may simply focus on how hot bareback porn is to watch or how good it feels for real. Even though we all come from different backgrounds and experiences, what is important is that we all have the facts about barebacking and what some of the potential outcomes are before we actually decide to engage in an unprotected sexual experience for the first time.

You might be thinking that if barebacking is risky, why do people participate in it. There is no simple answer, because barebacking is such a complex issue, but there are some reasons which can be considered here. The first is the type of sexual partner can make a difference to the level of risk. Those in a monogamous relationship are considered to have a lower level of risk than someone who has anonymous unprotected sexual encounters. Also, the issue of sero-sorting and the discussion of sexually transmitted infections can play an important part in trying to stay HIV negative or reduce the likelihood of spreading other sexually transmitted infections. Another consideration is that unprotected sex is the natural process of life which leads to the creation of life. Unfortunately, unprotected sex when combined with sexually transmitted infections can lead to the destruction of life.

When it comes to bareback porn, some guys watch it to engage in their fantasies, perhaps because they either do not wish to put themselves at risk or they may use pornography to enhance their sexual experiences. It is important to add that a number of studios producing bareback porn test their models for sexually transmitted infections and use the practice of sero-sorting to reduce the likelihood of a sexually transmitted infection taking place. Because bareback scenes can take place in a more controlled environment than in real-life situations, it is possible that the risk to models is lowered and those watching bareback porn need to consider this before barebacking themselves. Many studios producing bareback porn also include health warnings about the risks associated with barebacking. Viewers of bareback porn are advised to take note of the warnings and make an informed decision about their potential sexual partner and potential bareback experience before taking the plunge.

This article has touched upon a number of subjects relating to the level of risk associated with barebacking and thoughts about how people may be influenced by what they see in bareback porn videos. Barebacking is a very complicated subject and there are a number of books available on the topic for anyone interested in learning more about barebacking, including studies and statistics. Because this article only offers a brief consideration about barebacking and the implications of unprotected sex, the most important thing to take from this article is the fact that it only takes one time to become infected with a sexually transmitted infection. It is essential to consider the risks about barebacking before deciding whether or not it is appropriate and whether or not you are prepared to deal with the consequences of barebacking, because even the best precautions are not a foolproof way of avoiding risk.

Fluid bonding is a term more commonly used by heterosexuals, which is usually between a monogamous couple or a pair in a long-term relationship. The resulting action for bisexuals and homosexuals is similar, however, the terminology is a little different. When a guy ejaculates inside the anus of his partner or if he ejaculates externally and then pushes the ejaculate fluid back inside his partner, this is commonly known in the gay and bisexual community as “breeding” rather than “fluid bonding”, although it really is the same thing. There are also other terms which describe this action, but breeding is a common word used to describe fluid bonding.

Because seminal fluid carries a number of properties including sperm, the fluid spilling from one person to another carries a number of different meanings. For a heterosexual couple, semen transferring from the penis into the vagina is one way to initiate pregnancy. This is why the term fluid bonding refers to mainly monogamous partners, because the resulting action can lead to pregnancy, which is not the outcome people engaging in casual intercourse may want to experience. For men exchanging bodily fluids, the term “breeding” can be interpreted as the result of a male and female swapping bodily fluids, only that men cannot become pregnant as a result, hence the term breeding mainly referring to the action itself and not the outcome.

The question about whether to exchange bodily fluids is a more intense decision making process for men, because another property of bodily fluid can be the inclusion of sexually transmitted infections, such as HIV. When bodily fluids are exchanged between partners, the risk of infection increases dramatically, so some barebackers pull out before they ejaculate as a technique they use to reduce the likelihood of contracting or transmitting a sexually transmitted infection. There is a concern that needs to be raised with this technique, which is that it is still possible for sexually transmitted infections to take place even when the penis is removed from the partners anus before ejaculation commences.

For some barebackers, the transfer of bodily fluids from one partner to another is an important aspect of the barebacking experience. For others, the skin on skin sensation may be all they desire from the experience. Because the physical presence of ejaculation confirms the finale of the sexual encounter, the significance of whether the seminal fluid is exchanged between the partners can be an important consideration factor for the emotional experience as well. The swapping of bodily fluids can be seen as building a level of trust from a romantic perspective, while others may enjoy the experience of giving and taking from another person, along with a number of other reasons.

Communication is an important consideration for those who are trying to lower their risk if they are using the withdrawal before ejaculation method, because each partner involved needs to be aware of this, otherwise the moment of orgasm may lead to the exchange of bodily fluids. The conversation does not have to be clinical, but if you prefer for the top to pull out or stay inside or if you are the top who wants to pull out or stay inside, it is a good idea to discuss this before commencing the barebacking encounter so that each of you know what to expect. Talking about sex is not as much fun as experiencing sex, but because of the health implications associated with exchanging seminal fluids and barebacking in general, it is important to discuss this.

Barebacking can automatically lead to the exchange of bodily fluids, but not all barebackers like the concept of breeding or exchanging bodily fluids, particularly if they are concerned about the possible health risks associated with the exchange of bodily fluids. Some bareback pornographic studios such as Hot Desert Knights and Treasure Island Media specialize in breeding to bring their scenes to an end and many barebackers enjoy the thrill of swapping loads. Just remember that if you have a preference and your partner is not familiar with your preference, it’s a good idea to discuss your needs to avoid disappointment.

The annual campaign encourages people to “take the test, take control”, which implies that knowing your HIV status is important to stop the spread of HIV to others and to help those who are infected who may not know it. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website Nine And A Half Minutes, every 9½ minutes on average, someone in the United States is infected with HIV. Other statistical data obtained from this website show that in 2006, an estimated 56,300 people became infected with HIV and that more than one million people in the United States are living with HIV and one in five of these people do not know that they are infected with HIV and could potentially be infecting other people with the virus.

HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus and is a retrovirus that infects the cells of the immune system and destroys or impairs their function. Once the body is infected with this virus, it results in the progressive deterioration of the immune system, which is where the ‘immune deficiency’ segment of the name is derived. The immune system is considered deficient when it can no longer carry out its role of fighting infections and diseases and because the immune system is weakened, infected people are more susceptible to a wide range of infections. HIV is found in many body fluids including blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk.

Most people who are infected with HIV do not know that they have become infected, because they do not feel unwell immediately after infection. Some people at the time of seroconversion may develop a fever, rash and experience joint pains and enlarged lymph nodes, but as these symptoms can indicate having the flu, it may not become apparent to the individual that they have been infected with HIV. There is a window-period from the time a person is first exposed to the virus where the antigens do not show up in tests, which can provide a false negative result. It is important to understand that even though the antigens are not detectable at this point, it is still possible to transmit HIV to other people. This is why regular HIV testing is important, because if the virus is not detected during the window period, there is less time between the next test.

The Avert website includes data presented in a clear and precise manner, including statistical representations in text and graphical formats. I will include some of the findings here in snapshot form, however, checking out the Avert website will provide you with more in-depth information. At the end of 2007 the CDC estimates that 468,578 people were living with AIDS in the United States, which is 20,000 more people than in 2006 and 75% of these people are male adults and adolescents. Out of this number, 44.1% were Black/African American, 35.3% were White, 19.1% were Hispanic/Latino, 1% were Asian, 0.4% were American Indian/Alaska Native and 0.1% were Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander. The way in which these people were infected with HIV has been determined to be 47% through male-to-male sexual contact, 24% high-risk heterosexual contact, 22% through injection drug use, 6% through male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use and 1% caused by other reasons.

It takes time for the statistics to be analyzed and then published, so the latest information available at present is data from 2007. According to data obtained from Avert, at the end of 2007, the CDC estimates that there were 571,378 people living with HIV/AIDS in the 39 states and dependent areas that have a history of confidential name-based HIV reporting, however, it is thought that around 1.1 million people are actually infected. The reason for the difference between these two figures is because not all states have implemented HIV diagnosis reporting, anonymous tests including home tests are excluded from case reports and one in every five people have not had their infection diagnosed or reported. Further statistics are available from the Avert website.

Regular HIV testing is important to identify HIV infection so that those who are infected can determine the best form of treatment, plus those infected can also provide an accurate disclosure of their HIV status to potential sexual partners. This information can then be used by any potential partners as to whether to proceed with a bareback encounter or whether a form of protection should be used, such as using a condom or abstaining from any sexual acts. The National HIV Testing Day is an excellent way to think about HIV testing and remember the importance of regular HIV testing. It is recommended for those who engage in high risk sexual encounters that regular testing every three months takes place. Remembering the date of June 27 is a great starting point to help remember the last time a test was performed to help schedule three monthly tests, such as June, September, December and March.

There are a number of different HIV testing methods used by medical professionals. The standard types of tests used for detecting HIV in blood tests are Enzyme immunoassay (EIA), which is widely used by just about all HIV testing programs. This test is reported to be highly accurate, but no test is 100% accurate and HIV testing programs use more than one test to confirm the presence of HIV. Another test is Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the Western blot test is used to confirm the EIA/ELISA screening tests if required. For these three tests, a small amount of blood is drawn from the arm and taken to a laboratory to be tested, where this usually takes one to two weeks to complete, depending on where the test is performed. These tests check for the presence of antibodies to HIV, not for the virus itself.

Rapid HIV tests are becoming more popular due to the quick results they offer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) currently has licensed only one rapid HIV test called the Single Use Diagnostic System for HIV-1™ for medical providers, but several others are in development. The rapid HIV test is an ELISA test, but the results are analyzed alone to provide a quicker result. In the event of a rapid HIV test providing a positive result, then other tests will need to be used to confirm the results before an actual result can be given. Rapid home HIV test kits are also available, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have only approved the Home Access® collection kit for use in the United States, which is not a rapid test itself, but rather a collection kit. Other rapid home test kits may be available, but are not approved by the FDA. HIV tests can also be performed using oral tests, urine-based tests and viral tests.

Rapid home HIV test kits are an excellent concept to test yourself for HIV in the comfort and privacy of your own home without the need for others to know about your HIV test. Sometimes the clinical environment can be too overwhelming for some people, along with the feeling that medical professionals may be judgmental. Most health care professionals are responsible and it is recommended that if you are going to best tested for HIV, that you do this by visiting a testing center or visiting a health clinic or your doctor. Because rapid home HIV test kits are not approved by the FDA, you should consider whether or not you use them, but they may be effective for identifying HIV status. You can purchase rapid home HIV test kits on the internet from STD Home Test and this company offers both blood test kits and urine test kits which can be ordered securely online and then delivered conveniently to your preferred address.

National HIV Testing Day on June 27 is a great way to start a regular HIV testing regime if you don’t already get tested for HIV on a regular basis. Even though this initiative is based in the United States, you can apply the concept of national HIV testing to your own life no matter which part of the world you reside. It’s better to get yourself tested than to wonder whether or not you are HIV positive – for yourself and for those you may have sexual encounters with. The result may prove to be a relief if you are HIV negative and it may help you implement any changes to your life if you are HIV positive. What will you be doing on June 27?

Finding guys to have unprotected sex with has been made easier in recent years with the introduction of bareback profiles and personals websites on the internet. Before the internet, you had to find guys in person or through friends and acquaintances. The internet has changed all that through the creation of communities where guys with similar interests can create their own profiles and websites which offer the functionality to provide search options for guys to find other guys with similar interests. Even though the internet connects people, you still need to find the right website to provide you with a useful means of finding other guys to have bareback sex with.

The most obvious kind of website is one which is all about barebacking. There are a number of barebacking websites designed exclusively to connect guys with others who are interested in having unprotected sex. These websites include Bareback.com, Bareback.net, BarebackRT and BarebackCITY. There are other websites on the internet catering specifically to the needs to barebackers and a search on Google can help you find them. You may find more success using a bareback specific website, rather than a personals or dating website, but don’t discount other websites, because they can prove to be a useful resource.

Bareback oriented websites provide a database listing guys interested in bareback sex from all over the world. Some of these websites include travel options to help connect barebackers who are traveling to other parts of the world as a way to improve the chances of connecting with others when you are away from your home location. Even though websites have the ability to connect you with other people, if you live in a remote part of the world, you may still experience difficulties finding other guys to experience bareback encounters with.

Bareback.com state that they have 25,388 members from all over the world and BarebackCITY has a membership of 31,316 guys in their database. Bareback profile websites may all offer bareback connections, but they are not all the same. For example, BarebackCITY is primarily a European based bareback connections website, although they do accept listings from all over the world. This means that if you live in a European country, you may find their website to be an effective website. The majority of bareback profiles websites do not focus on a particular region and you may find success in connecting with guys from all around the globe.

There are other websites to consider which are not bareback specific, but may be an excellent opportunity to find bareback encounters. AdultFriendFinder is designed to connect people who are interested in having sex, but not specifically bareback sex. This website tends to be used by straight and bisexuals, but if straight or bisexual guys interest you, then you may experience some success finding a sex partner right for you. The gay oriented version is OutPersonals, which offers a similar service, but primarily has a membership of gay and bisexual guys. While these websites are not all about barebacking, the profile data can help you find guys who are open to having unprotected sexual experiences. The number of guys prepared to bareback sex at these two websites may be of a lesser concentration than exclusively bareback websites, but the number of members is higher, resulting in an expanded number of possibilities.

Now that we have considered some useful online resources, you need to create an interesting profile which contains relevant and accurate information. Profiles can have a reputation of containing misleading information or photographs to attract interest from other guys, but fake profiles can lead to disappointment and make others annoyed that their time has been wasted. You can still create attractive an profile based on carefully selected text and genuine photographs, and remember that honesty can be an important quality for others when looking for guys to connect with. If you are specifically looking for bareback sex, then you should mention this or indicate this in your profile somewhere to let others know.

If you decide to search through some non-bareback profile websites, you need to be aware that some guys might be offended that you have approached them for bareback encounters. Some guys find barebacking offensive and are very rigid about condom use – which is perfectly acceptable because we all have our own standards. To help avoid any nasty responses, check profiles for hints about safe-sex only or anti-bareback. If a guy insists on safe-sex only and makes this known, then it’s probably best to avoid contacting him or expressing an interest in his profile. Some guys have safe-sex only selected in their profiles but may be interested in barebacking, so if that’s the case, then let them contact you based on your own bareback friendly profile data.

There are risks when finding sex partners online and you do need to take precautions when hooking up with others. Firstly, there is the health perspective, based on sexually transmitted infections and not knowing another persons sexual health status. Another consideration is that you may not know the other person very well and they could be violent or have behavioral problems. It’s wise to meet other people in a public place before deciding to go to a more private place, as this gives you an opportunity to gauge the other person a little bit better. This is not a foolproof way of avoiding a dangerous situation, but you do need to take precautions to protect your own health and safety.

If you have your own experiences or tips you would like to share here, then you are most welcome to leave your comments below, as others may find them useful. If you decide to create an online profile at one or a number of websites, then don’t feel pressured into connecting with others unless you are comfortable doing so. Most of these profile websites offer chat features so you can get to know others a little better first if this is your preference. People can be rude online, so try not to get offended if this happens to you, but if you’re nice to someone, you might find that they will return the friendly courtesy. There are various ways to find others for bareback sex and you need to select the option which works best for you.

The importance of discussing HIV status prior to engaging in bareback sex has been highlighted recently through the media in Canada, where a 29 year old HIV positive guy has been charged with nine counts of aggravated sexual assault for failing to disclose his HIV status before he had unprotected sex a number of times with an 18 year old HIV negative guy, who then apparently became infected with HIV as a result. The article states that there was no discussion about HIV status before they had unprotected sex, although the article does refer to a bareback profile which states that the 29 year old guy was HIV positive. If the HIV positive guy did not make the HIV negative guy aware that he was HIV positive, then it could be interpreted by law that he may have intentionally infected the HIV negative guy.

You can read more about this article at the Ottawa Citizen website, where the situation has been reported and includes some insight into barebacking and some of the practices which barebackers may participate in, including bug chasing and gift giving. It is important to state that not all barebackers are bug chasers or gift givers, only a small percentage of guys may deliberately transmit HIV to others. The article also includes the full name of the HIV positive guy and other articles have even published a photograph of him. I will not be including his name or photograph in this article, as the case has not yet been through the legal system, but the information is available online if you choose to find it.

The discussion of establishing HIV status prior to engaging in bareback sex is important for guys who choose to use the process of serosorting to match HIV status as a way of helping to reduce the spread of HIV. The aim of serosorting is for HIV negative guys to only have bareback sex with other HIV negative guys and for HIV positive guys to find other HIV positive bareback partners. If the discussion about HIV status does not take place before engaging in unprotected sex, then the two (or more) partners are taking a risk because they may have different HIV statuses and seroconversion may take place if they have unprotected sex.

It is also important to think about the consequences of having unprotected sex, because it can become complicated. If a person meets another person online at a bareback website and their HIV status is clearly displayed and a guy contacts him through the website, then it can be established that the information about HIV status has been made available, so the discussion of HIV status may not be had verbally. If the partners met at a physical place, then the information is not available visually, so a verbal discussion would need to be had to establish HIV status. It seems that legal issues could arise, as can be seen in the case mentioned above, where a verbal disclosure of HIV status is always necessary regardless of whether the information can be found online or in a different location.

There are a number of bareback hookup sites on the internet and these sites display information about the guys who create bareback profiles. Each site is slightly different in appearance, so I will examine a number of bareback websites to ascertain the sexual health information which is made available to visitors and members, along with the profile questions relating to sexual health.

Bareback.com
One of the first bareback profile websites to appear on the internet, this site includes an excellent sexual health discussion on the main page and it also discusses the risks involved through barebacking and the importance of honesty. Bareback Michael is the webmaster and he ensures that visitors are aware of the issues concerning HIV status, risks by including this information on the main page for visitors to see. This site includes Negative, Positive and No Answer options to the HIV Status question and the Their HIV Status question includes the following responses: Must Be Negative, Can Be Positive, Must Be Positive, Either and No Answer. To help a profile viewer ascertain whether the member wishes to use condoms, there is a Safe Sex question with the following options: Always, Sometimes, Never, Let’s Talk and No Response.

Bareback.net
Health and safety information cannot be found easily at this site, but there are disclaimers putting the onus of responsibility back onto the site members and removing responsibility from the operators of the site. This site provides search options for bug chasers and gift givers to find each other through profile options which assist with search results. The HIV Status question has the following options: Ask Me, HIV-, HIV+ and Not Sure. The question Guys I’m Seeking includes a number of responses including: Bug Chasers, Gift Givers, Poz Guys and Safe Only. The question My Fetishes includes a number of responses include Bug Chasing, Conversion, Gift Giving and Russian Roulette.

BarebackCITY.info
Created for the worldwide barebacking community, the main page includes an excellent warning about sexual health and this is accompanied by a warning inside the website to those who have an HIV negative selected in their profile about the seriousness of HIV and the possibility of infection. This site further emphasizes HIV by using a biohazard symbol throughout the website as a warning and also the AIDS ribbon. There are a number of sexual health questions offered, including an HIV Status question with the following options: Rather Not Say, Negative, Unknown and Positive. There is also a Viral Load, T Helper Cells (CD4 Count) and Sexually Transmitted Infections question to further help profile viewers decide whether the guy’s profile interests them.

BarebackRT.com
You will find thousands of profiles here, but only limited information about health is available. The main page discusses legal liability and that the site operators are not responsible for the actions of its members. Even though the health resources are limited, members will find a number of health questions including the following options for the question My HIV Status: Positive, Poz + Other, Negative, Neg + Other, Other, Undetectable, Not Sure and Don’t Care. To match a person meeting the HIV status of the member, the question Looking for HIV Status has the following options: Ask Me, Negative Only, Positive Only, Positive Okay, Undetectable and No Preference.

Some may argue that HIV negative guys should be responsible for asking questions about HIV status if they want to remain HIV negative and some may argue that HIV positive guys should reveal their HIV status to avoid having unprotected sex and accidentally infecting a HIV negative guy. The thing is, both individuals need to be concerned about their HIV status for health and legal reasons, so each of us is responsible for disclosing our own HIV status and ascertaining the HIV status of the person we are about to have unprotected sex with. The trouble is when nobody discusses HIV status and later on seroconversion takes place, this is where both health and legal problems can arise.

Everyone may have their own personal opinions about whether it is necessary to discuss HIV status before having unprotected sex, but to help reduce the spread of HIV, the discussion of HIV status is necessary and important. It establishes the HIV status of both ourselves and those who we are considering having unprotected sex, which then gives the information to decide whether to proceed with the the bareback encounter, whether to use protection such as a condom or to avoid the sexual encounter altogether. Because some guys may be afraid that the truth may result in the potential loss of a bareback encounter, they may withhold information or avoid discussing HIV status.

The case about the two guys referred to in the above article definitely highlights the need for barebackers to verbally discuss HIV status prior to having unprotected sex, not only for health reasons but also for legal reasons. Maintaining an accurate HIV status in bareback profiles is also important, but because of the issues with the HIV window period and irregular HIV testing, the status maintained in profile data should only be used as a guide as the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Bareback profile websites may wish to consider adding a field which includes a date when a person was last tested for HIV to help a person establish how accurate the information in the profile may be, or members could include this information in a free-text field. Based on recent issues, relying on the profile data to avoid an HIV discussion isn’t enough and an actual discussion appears to be a requirement and may act as a form of legal protection.

Because some men deliberately infect other people with HIV (known as gift giving), the issue of HIV discussion is important and what is also important is being able to establish whether the truth is even being told when asking the question about HIV status. Some gift givers may choose to withhold information or even lie about their HIV status to give themselves an opportunity to infect a person with HIV. I have seen comments from some people who believe that all HIV negative barebackers are bug chasers, but this is not true. There are some HIV negative guys who are bug chasers, but most HIV negative barebackers do their best to remain HIV negative, even though they are aware of the health risks associated with bareback sex.

It is important to note that it is a criminal offense in a number of countries to intentionally transmit HIV to another person. Wikipedia provides an informative article about criminal transmission of HIV. This is why we are now seeing cases in the media where these instances are being reported to police and other authorities. Accidental HIV transmission will continue to occur in cases where the “window period” may have given someone a false negative HIV test result and in other situations such as blood donation, transfusions or syringes, but it is the intentional transmission which is the criminal issue.

Because of the legal cases which have taken place in the past and are currently in progress, it is essential to discuss HIV status before engaging in unprotected sex. It is also important to discuss other Sexually Transmitted Infections at the same time, as this can also work in the same manner as serosorting for HIV. You need to consider your own health, the health of others and you also need to consider legal issues as well. The webmaster is not a legal professional, so it’s important to check the law in your part of the world and consult a legal professional for further information.

There are a number of factors which can impede on the accuracy of an HIV test and this can cause problems for those who do their best to be honest about their HIV status. From the time when a person is first infected with HIV, it can take between two to eight weeks and sometimes up to three months for people to develop detectable antibodies. For this reason, a person who tests themselves shortly after being infected with HIV can receive a negative test result, referred to as a false negative result, but they may have HIV. This could result in the tested person being confident about their HIV negative status, so they may then tell potential sexual partners that they are HIV negative. This is why regular HIV testing is important, because if a new infection is missed, it can be picked up more quickly during a future HIV test.

Regular HIV testing is important for those who want to be aware of their HIV status, but for some people the thought about visiting a sexual health clinic or doctor every few months to get tested for HIV can be overwhelming or embarrassing. This is a perfectly natural reaction, but this feeling doesn’t help to build up the courage to visit a sexual health clinic or doctor to get tested. Even though most health care professionals are friendly and respectful, many people worry about attending clinics because of sexuality and comfort issues. Having the ability to test yourself in the comfort of your own home is a great way to check your HIV status without having to visit a clinic or feel uncomfortable around others during a time which can be stressful.

If you do test yourself at home, it’s a good idea to have the telephone number for a HIV counseling service or support group on hand, just in case you need someone to talk to after you have taken your test. You may not feel that you need to take this step, however, it is recommended that you have this information available in case you find it necessary after you’ve taken the test. Some kits may provide you with telephone support, while others may not. You may even consider thinking about options prior to taking the test in the event that a positive result is returned to help make the situation more manageable for you, rather than being in shock and feeling like you have little or no resources available to you.

There is only one home HIV test which is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is the Home Access® HIV-1 Test System manufactured by the Home Access Health Corporation. A number of rapid test kits are FDA approved, but only for use at clinics where the results can be interpreted by a medical professional. The Home Access® HIV-1 Test System is not a rapid test kit where you test yourself and find out the results within fifteen minutes, the kit is actually a sample collection kit where you take a blood sample and then send it away to a laboratory for testing. You are issued with a code which comes with the kit and this code is used to obtain your results, which makes the testing process anonymous.

To learn more about approved home test kits, you may want to visit the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website, which includes warnings and information about home test kits. The FDA may not approve home test kits where the results are provided “rapidly” in under fifteen minutes for a number of possible reasons. It could be because the results are not analyzed in a laboratory environment, or medical professional in a clinic, or where counseling may not be available or because positive test results cannot be monitored and recorded statistically. Consumers need to decide whether or not they wish to use a kit which is not approved by the FDA and whether they can even purchase such kits from their location.

Rapid home test kits can be an ideal way to ascertain initial information, but if there is any doubt with the results or if you require confirmation of the results, attending a clinic or visiting your doctor is recommended. The kits should only be used for initial testing and follow-up testing should be carried out to ensure that the results are accurate. Remember that it may take up to twelve weeks for the detectable antibodies to show up in test results, which is known as the “window period”. The FDA website has published an article called Vital Facts About HIV Home Test Kits, which is an essential read if you are considering purchasing a home test kit.

Getting yourself tested on a regular basis may not prevent the spread of HIV, but it may help to reduce it because more people will be aware of their HIV status. Now that you are equipped with this information, you need to decide whether home HIV test kits are something which you feel will benefit you, or whether regular clinic visits will increase your level of confidence. There are a number of companies on the internet who supply home HIV test kits, however, you need to be aware that some companies may not be reputable or may make false claims about the effectiveness of the kits they supply.

One company which supplies rapid home HIV test kits is STD Home Test, and they also supply a range of other Sexually Transmitted Infection test kits. This article is not recommending that you purchase any home tests kits from STD Home Test, the purpose of providing you with this information is to give you a starting point as to where to look for rapid home HIV test kits if you decide to give them a try. There are other companies which sell home test kits on the internet also, so please ensure that you make a purchase from a company who you feel comfortable with along with being confident about their products.

STD Home Test supplies rapid home test kits which comply with ISO 9001 and 13485, but these kits do not have FDA approval. There are two different types of rapid HIV test kits available from STD Home Test, the first is a urine test kit which requires one drop of urine and in less than fifteen minutes a result is given. The blood test kit requires one drop of blood and in less than fifteen minutes a result is given. Both of these kits test for HIV I, II and all subtypes (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H and O) according to the product information, but you need to remember that a negative test does not rule out infection by HIV if the antibodies were not present at the time the test was taken and it does not determine the quantitative concentration of HIV either.

The importance of regular testing for HIV negative barebackers is clear. Because of the HIV window period, there is the chance that a test may give a false negative result if there aren’t detectable antibodies at the time the test was taken. It is possible to transmit HIV when antibodies are not detected in the system, which is a serious issue when it comes to HIV testing. The reason why regular HIV testing is important for high-risk sexual activity such as barebacking is because there is less time involved between tests, which can limit the potential exposure to sexual partners. Without regular testing, the virus can spread more quickly, so whether getting tested at a clinic, doctor or at home, any test is better than no test, but please always take care to ensure that the testing method you choose is reliable.

This article will refer to bareback sex as being sex without the use of a condom between men who have made a choice not to use a condom when having anal sex. When the term unprotected sex is used, this is a reference to men who do not use a condom when having anal sex, but the difference is that they may not have chosen to forgo using condoms. The result is the same; men engaging in anal sex without the use of condoms, but it’s the way in which lead to the condomless encounter which is where the difference lies. Some barebackers use Crystal Meth with the intention of having bareback sex, which is known as Party and Play (PNP), but this article will focus on those who do not regard themselves as barebackers.

Crystal Meth is a stimulant that affects the central nervous system. It is a white or off-white, odorless, bitter-tasting crystalline powder that easily dissolves in water. Methamphetamine is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the United States and is available with a prescription for a number of medical issues including obesity and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, however, Crystal Meth is most commonly known as a street drug. Crystal Meth is the shortened name of Crystal Methamphetamine and is commonly known as Crystal, Ice, Meth, Speed or Tina. There are many street names for Crystal Meth including: Batu, Biker’s Coffee, Black Beauties, Blade, Chalk, Chicken Feed, Crank, Cristy, Crystal, Crystal Glass, Crystal Meth, Glass, Go-Fast, Hanyak, Hiropon, Hot Ice, Ice, Kaksonjae, L.A. Glass, L.A. Ice, Meth, Methlies Quick, Poor Man’s Cocaine, Quartz, Shabu, Shards, Speed, Stove Top, Super Ice, Tina, Trash, Tweak, Uppers, Ventana, Vidrio, Yaba and Yellow Bam.

The most common way people use Crystal Meth is by smoking it through a glass pipe, similarly to how crack cocaine is used. Other ways to use Crystal Meth include injecting it either dry or dissolved in water, snorting it, swallowing it or inserting it into the anus or urethra. Some people take Crystal Meth because it provides a long-lasting high, where numerous neurotransmitters are released in the brain, which produces a sense of euphoria that can last as long as twelve hours, depending on how the drug was taken. Methamphetamine is also a popular stimulant which improves concentration, energy and alertness while decreasing appetite and fatigue. Some people may also take Crystal Meth to increase libido and sexual pleasure.

There are many common effects by taking Crystal Meth including euphoria, increased energy, increased alertness, diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, loss of appetite, insomnia, tremors, jaw-clenching, agitation, irritability, violence, confusion, increased libido, increased blood pressure, increased body temperature, increased heart rate, increased blood sugar levels and constriction of the walls of the arteries. Some of the effects associated with chronic use of Crystal Meth include an increase in the amount of the drug needed to get the same effect, drug craving, temporary weight loss, erectile dysfunction, depression, rapid teeth decay, teeth falling out and drug-related psychosis. There are serious effects of overdose including brain damage, sensation of flesh crawling, paranoia, hallucinations, delusions, tension headache, muscle breakdown which can lead do kidney damage or failure or death due to stroke, cardiac arrest or elevated body temperature.

According to the 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), approximately 12.6 million Americans aged 12 or older reported using methamphetamine at least once during their lifetimes, representing 5% of the population aged 12 or older. Approximately 850,000 (0.3%) reported past year methamphetamine use and 314,000 (0.1%) reported past month methamphetamine use. The number of recent new users of methamphetamine among persons aged 12 or older was 95,000 in 2008. The average age of new methamphetamine users aged 12 to 49 in 2008 was 19.2 years. Of an estimated 113 million emergency department (ED) visits in the U.S. during 2006, the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) estimates that 1,742,887 were drug-related and DAWN data indicates that methamphetamine was involved in 79,924 ED visits.

There is an association between Crystal Meth and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI’s) because of the tendency of many people to engage in unprotected sex while under the influence of Crystal Meth. Many people who experience the effects of euphoria tend not to use condoms and they can engage in unprotected sex with many different sex partners. When people take Crystal Meth in clubs and other public places where a number of other gay or bisexual men frequent, there is the likelihood that the multiple sex partners may be unknown individuals. When anonymous encounters or casual sex takes place while a person is under the influence of the effects of Crystal Meth, there is a chance that a discussion about condoms or sexual health does not take place.

There are other reasons why Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI’s) can take place while a person is under the influence of Crystal Meth. Users experience an increased libido and sexual pleasure and have sex for extended periods of time, along with an inability to ejaculate or reach orgasm. Because of the need for sex and the inability to ejaculate, the sex can be rough, resulting in chafing, tearing and trauma to the rectum, mouth and penis, dramatically increasing the risk of infection transmission. Even if guys do choose to use condoms, there is a chance of condom breakage due to rough sex, extended periods of friction or lack of lubricant when using the condoms.

This article focuses on unprotected sex when using Crystal Meth, but please be aware that Crystal Meth users can also become infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C when sharing needles. Those who are HIV positive can also experience problems when using Crystal Meth, because the effects of the drug can include people staying awake for days at a time. This means that there can be a lapse in taking HIV medications and because the body needs sleep and rest, the immune system can become rundown and exhausted, so this can take a toll on the health of a person. There are also other serious issues which can result from Crystal Meth for HIV positive individuals.

If you happen to take Crystal Meth and then have unprotected sex unintentionally, you could potentially subject yourself to a number of different Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI’s). There is a chance that one of these STI’s could be Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), however, once you become aware of the fact that you may have engaged in unprotected sex, there is a regime of medication you can take called Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) which needs to be commenced within seventy-two hours of possible exposure to help reduce the likelihood of contracting HIV, but there is still a chance that the infection could take hold. In the event of you being in this situation, it’s important to visit a Sexual Health Clinic or a medical professional (including your local hospital) as soon as possible, as time is a very important factor when it comes to the effectiveness of PEP.

If you are addicted to Crystal Meth or if you know someone who is and you want to get help for yourself or someone else, it’s important to know that help is available in the community. There is an organization known as Crystal Meth Anonymous (CMA), which is a fellowship of men and women who share their experiences, strengths and hopes with each other and includes a Twelve Step program of recovery. The website features a meeting directory for Australia, Canada and the United States, but if you are from another location, there may be help available for you and an internet search engine may point you in the direction of a service close to you. It’s important to know that you are not alone and that there are a number of services available to assist anyone who wants to stop using Crystal Meth.
