BAREBACK vs CONDOMS
BAREBACK vs CONDOMS
I am often amazed at the responses I read whenever the subject of bareback sex is brought up in many of the various groups we belong to. Many of the responses are based on naive opinion parading as fact. Well here are some facts, NOT opinions from the CDC, THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL.

Genital human papillomavirus (also called HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) and affects both females and males. HPV transmission can happen with any kind of genital contact with someone who has HPV—intercourse isn’t necessary. There are more than 40 HPV types that can infect the genital areas of males and females. These HPV types can also infect the mouth and throat. Most people who become infected with HPV do not even know they have it.

Genital herpes is a common STD, and most people with genital herpes infection do not know they have it. You can get genital herpes even if your partner shows no signs of the infection.
ACCORDING TO CDC, THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL, The surest way to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, including genital herpes, is to abstain from sexual contact, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected. Genital ulcer diseases can occur in both male and female genital areas that are covered or protected by a latex condom, as well as in areas that are not covered.
These are just two examples of STD's one can get whether or not condoms are used. Therefore the question should not be whether to have bareback sex or not? The question should be whether to have sex with anyone other than your committed partner? Because if you do so choose, then whether a man wears a condom or not, there are many more things other than bareback sex to be wary of when you engage in sex with anyone other than your committed partner!
So if you want to be completely safe and RISK-FREE about sex, ONLY engage in sex with your committed partner. Now if you happen to consider yourself a "swinger" or in the "lifestyle", then only engaging in sex with your committed partner is an OXYMORON!
I have been hosting parties for 13 years. Our policy at our parties is we provide generic condoms. If people want to engage in bareback sex, then they bring us proof of a negative HIV/STD test taken within the past 60 days and we will give them a wristband indicating that fact. It is up to each individual to determine how they want to play. It is not our role to dictate how they must play!
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS...YOU MAKE THE CALL!
