| | Barebacking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the sex trade, the willingness to bareback is a selling point for prostitutes to their clients. | | | Barebacking as a practice became increasingly common again among MSMs in the mid-1990s. | | | When researchers encouraged condom usage as an effective way of reducing HIV transmission, the practice of unprotected anal sex quickly became taboo among the gay population and the "need" for a term to describe unprotected sex arose. |

| | Science's AIDS Prevention and Vaccine Research Site |
| | Barebacking — or intentional anal sex without a condom with someone other than a primary partner — is a sexual behavior that has become more prevalent in the last two years. | | | [PubMed] showed that "increased physical stimulation and emotional connectedness were the primary reasons for barebacking." The sample analyzed included 554 MSM from different ethical backgrounds and nationalities. | | | Additionally, too much attention has been focused on anal sex as a risky activity, giving a symbolic meaning to a practice that many now see as an act of deep intimacy and true love, where the virus itself achieves a level of fetishism, eroticism and glamour. |

| | Michael Scarece: Back to Barebacking |
| | Now that barebacking has emerged as a distinct identity unto itself, however, most health experts seem to have written this population off rather than attempted outreach to them in a way that will be productive yet still acceptable to their adopted practices. | | | Yet, prevention specialists within these agencies have made little or no attempt to learn about the culture of barebacking, and instead have either abandoned these men or driven their behavior further underground. | | | In the same vain as needle exchange, perhaps we can reduce the potential for damaging consequences associated with barebacking in spite of a refusal to use condoms. |

| | Barebacking: Exploring the issue from a harm reduction perspective |
| | Prticipants will be encouraged to share their own concerns and countertransferential feelings that arise when working with clients who engage in barebacking. | | | This workshop will describe what barebacking is, present salient reasons why public health and services providers should understand it, and offer intervention strategies from a harm reduction perspective. | | | Although straight couples also engage in this behavior, barebacking has been exclusively used to describe the behavior among men who have sex with men. |

| | The Sociology of Barebacking |
| | Social scientists have found that some barebackers are "rational risk-takers," and note that there is a group of men whose sexual behavior is based on "rational" consideration of the risks of specific sexual acts. | | | Researchers have also identified known as "serosorting" whereby men discuss their HIV status with potential partners and engage in risky behaviors only with those who are believed to be of a similar serostatus | | | Bay area psychologist, Steve Morin has observed that definitions and perceptions of barebacking have evolved as the practice has grown. |

| | Crystal, Barebacking in Perspective |
| | Both authors discuss barebacking, drug use, and safer sex at length, concluding that there are no easy answers and that solutions must be individualized, respectful, and painstaking. | | | The other book, Shernoff’s “Without Condoms,&; goes further than any other resource to date in demystifying the various phenomena we call “barebacking” and suggesting sober harm reduction approaches to dealing with it (harm reduction being another term for preventive medicine—drug and safer sex education, condom use, needle exchange, therapy, and treatment). | | | I must confess that these books changed my own thinking from sometimes grave concern about the state of our community vis a vis unsafe sex and a range of diseases, to ongoing grave concern but with much greater confidence that we are not as bad as people, including ourselves, too often tell us we are. |

| | Half of the men in the study who said they engaged in barebacking did so while they were on drugs or alcohol. | | | The primary reasons the men cited for engaging in barebacking was greater physical stimulation and "emotional connection." | | | Study co-author Grant Colfax, director of HIV prevention studies at the Department of Public Health, said the study highlighted "shifting social norms" in the gay community. |

| | The Body: Barebacking in the Gay Community |
| | Barebacking is an extremely controversial and complicated issue, especially since it is dealing with human behavior. | | | Also, if a guy who has tested HIV negative has put himself at risk again (even one time), his negative test result would no longer be valid, and he would need to be tested all over again. | | | For some men, if their partner does not bring up the subject of HIV or other STDs, they will just assume that their partner is not infected, and that barebacking would be safe. |

| | Two New Studies Describe Gay Barebacking, Circuit Parties, And Spread of HIV |
| | Maxwell's study found that many gays engage in unsafe practices because they're in "heat of the moment" situations or in "trade-off" situations where they do not want to offend their sexual partner. | | | This study "seeks to investigate how well widely-circulating explanations accounting for unsafe sex engage with the social circumstances and reasoning processes of men in their sexual relationships. | | | Maxwell says that no one in his study indicated willingness or acceptance of knowingly infecting a partner: "When the premises of individual responsibility are knowingly absent, many express a strong reluctance to allow unprotected sex." |

| | Of course the safer-sex establishment defends itself by claiming that its mandate does not extend to the sort of cultural change I advocate; that, rather, it's only empowered to reduce risk. | | | The February 6 2003 issue of Rolling Stone has a cover story on "Bug-Chasers" -- HIV negative men who actively seek to seroconvert through unprotected anal sex with HIV+ men. | | | But what difference does it make if the person anally infected was bug-chasing or simply barebacking? |

| | Research presented today at the XV International AIDS Conference in Bangkok challenges the idea that large numbers of HIV positive gay men are intentionally setting out to ‘gift’ the disease to HIV negative men. | | | Only a tiny minority of HIV positive men (less than 1%) said they had actually looked to have unprotected sex with an HIV negative man. | | | “While our work does not investigate the motivations for barebacking in depth, other studies of sexual behaviour among gay men show that not wearing a condom is usually about sensation seeking. |

| | BAREBACKING and THE NEW AIDS HYSTERIA |
| | Instead of bringing together a savvy and creative brain-trust to create a multi-issue health movement, AIDS organizations point fingers at the bad boys (barebackers, circuit boys, and those lazy, self-centered young queers) and continue to see AIDS work as somehow separate from the broader public health context in which we live. | | | While there is no dearth of thoughtful health activists, researchers, epidemiologists, and gay men's health providers in the Northwest, Seattle Gay News devotes its two front-page stories on barebacking to an interview with Michaelangelo Signorile, a nutty New York journalist who has never worked in HIV prevention. | | | Daniel Zingale, Executive Director of AIDS Action, the DC-based political arm of what's left of the AIDS movement, has been much in the media lately, discussing what he believes is a huge shift in gay men's sexual practices, based on a recent report from the CDC in Atlanta. |

| | Yet, he has had a number of ugly conflicts with Michelangelo Signorile and others in the liberal wing of the gay community over his various comments and personal practices on such topics as AIDS, steroids, and barebacking. | | | Andrew eloquently speaks in favor of same-gender marriage and advocated marriage equality over a decade before most voices in the gay community ever dreamed of such a possibility. | | | Andrew is both extremely predictable and extremely difficult to categorize, which makes him one of the more frustrating and fascinating members of the right-wing throng. |
