What is Bareback Sex?

 

The term 'Bareback' or 'BB' (as used on gay hookup apps) means the act of having anal sex (anal intercourse) without the use of any type of protection, such as condoms.

t is said that the term originated in the late 80's to early 90's taken from the equestrian usage of the word, meaning riding a horse 'bareback' when riding without the use of a saddle, or any protection.

In recent years, the term bareback has also been allocated by the heterosexual community to describe unprotected vaginal sex as well.

Despite its history, bareback sex is becoming (and has been in certain circles) very popular as of late, despite the perceived (and actual) health risks associated with the sexual practice of bareback sex.

Despite these risks, there are plenty of gay men and heterosexuals, that knowingly practice unsafe sex with their sexual partners, some because they like the feeling or 'skin-on-skin' sex, some because they said it makes them feel 'closer' to their sexual partner and others simply because for them, bareback sex is considered to be 'taboo'.
