How to Engage in Bareback Sex.

 

If you have not already practiced having sex 'bareback' but have made the decision that you would like to, there are several things that you should do prior to engaging in any bareback sexual activities.

First, get an STD/STI check, knowing that you are free from any STI and STDs will make your first act of bareback sex much more enjoyable, not just for you, but for your bareback sexual partner.

Secondly, if you are going to have bareback sex, this is the time to discuss sex with your sexual partner, an open and honest discussion about expectations, boundaries and any possible long-term arrangements with the situation should be brought up and discussed in depth so that you both know what the other person thinks, wants and more importantly, does not want to happen during your/their first bareback experience.

When discussing the possibility of bareback sex with a sexual partner, try to avoid using terms such as ‘clean’ and ‘disease free’ as this can be off-putting to some people, even if they are negative of all STIs.

Instead ask when a person was last tested or what their last STI result was. Alternatively, begin the conversation by talking about your last STI test and those results, remember that STIs are most typically spread by individuals who DO NOT know they have an STI and your sexual partner may think they are STI free but, if they haven’t had an STI test in a few months, the reality is that they do not know their STI status.

Once you have had a discussion about both individuals expectations when it comes to bareback sex (or sexpectations as some call it) now would be the time to bring up the possibility of STIs and STDs and the possibility of both sexual partners getting tested.
