There's a new 'trend', I read into: bareback parties. 'Bareback' is a term emerged in the gay scene. It means sexual contact without condoms and often (!) one or more of the participants are HIV-positive! The risk of an infection is very high - especially if anal sex is practiced. This gives the participants of barebacking a special 'kick'.

Facts on barebacking:

- it's very dangerous
- usage of condoms is 'forbidden'
- even if barebacking emerged in the gay scene, nowadays there are also heterosexual barebacking parties!
- you can infect with HIV
- even if you still are HIV-positive, you can infect with another version of the HI virus!
- you can infect with any other kind of sexually transmitted diseases!

Important:

A bareback party is like 'russian roulette'. Participants risk their lifes! So please, please don't visit bareback sex parties. Just visit sex parties, that 'allow' the usage of condoms to protect against HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

I remember seeing an ad for bareback sex in another forum, and it drew criticism for the obvious reasons.

I was glad to see the adverse reaction, but I'm still surprised that this happens.

It's a sad day when this is what people are doing for to get their rocks off. I bet they quit laughing when they start to feel the effects that come along with HIV turning into AIDS

Sometimes I don't understamd the thrill some people get by risking their lives. This reminds me of the young kids who are chocking themselves for a quick high. It's so absurd.

I agree completely. Life is so fragile as it is and there are so many things that are unforeseen. You would think you could find thrill enough in the fact that you made it through any given day in one piece.

It is really hard to fathom that how can people be so stupid that even when they know their lives are in danger, they carry on these activities.

It must take a hell of an idiot to do that but what is also surprising is that there are many of such idiots around.

Even knowing that it goes on I think that you would be surprised to find out how many are actually involved in this life style.

Yes, self destructive is a much better term. The "sad" part is that there are a lot of these people who are in relationships outside of this type of partying who are not aware of what their partners are doing which for me takes it beyond self destructive and for me makes it "sad" in a very sick and twisted kind of way.

I have never heard this term before, and I have to say that I find it outrageous!!

How can people be so stupid as to risk their health just for kicks. The world is becoming a more an more bizzare place isnt it.
