The Risks of Bareback Sex.

 

Exactly how risky having bareback sex can be, nobody really knows, however, that being said, there are some things that science has taught us are a fact when it comes to engaging in unprotected anal, vaginal and oral sex.

Of course, the factors when assessing these risks range from how many individuals a person has had sexual intercourse with, whether you are on the giving (Top) end or the receiving (Bottom) end and if enough lubrication has been used through to how rough the sex is and a slew of other risk factors, including medications a sexual partner may be on and, any type of medical condition that you or your sexual partner may (or may not) presently have, including a range of STIs.

According to the World Health Organization, on a global scale, someone catches an STD every hour, of every day.

Most STD/STI's have no symptoms or, symptoms that are so mild, they are extremely difficult to recognize without medical help, this includes HIV which can be undetectable in a person for many years without medical testing.

It is entirely possible that anyone (including you) could have an STI at this very moment and not know about it, as long as you have been sexually active in your lifetime (and sometimes even if you haven’t!).

Unless you avoid sex altogether, methods such as condoms are the most effective way to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections and sexually transmitted diseases.

Bareback Sex Tips.

Try to Avoid Using Poppers During Bareback Sex.

Poppers (although exciting to use for many during bareback sex) dilate a person’s blood vessels in the rectum, this in turn increases blood exposure during anal sex, especially during ‘rough’ sex or when practicing ‘fisting’ followed by bareback intercourse.
