Do you go bareback or condoms with your mm encounters …100% of my encounters are condoms. On weekly I have about 2-3 encounters and sometimes more and with different ones depending on the week or our schedules. I want to be safe and also help protect the person I’m seeing ….it’s only fair!!
While I am not near as active as you are, I only bottom with a condom. I want to be safe both for myself and who I am with. The only time I have gone without was when I was sure we were in a closed loop relationship and there was zero chance one of us would contract something.
Nice …. Few of my close bigay partners have pushed me on this …I tell them, I’m not ready to commit to single relationships…I need more , they get upset but they understand is better for all of us ….
The several partners I have are always taken bare back. Even back in my wild days hooking up with 4-5 different guys a week I never wanted condoms used. I was lucky, I guess.
I've only fucked a guy once, as a top, and it was with a condom. I've done some bare anal play with guys, including inserting just 3/4 of my cockhead past his outer sphincter, and doing lots of rubbing of my cockhead all around the outside of his asshole. But I've had some problems with trying to penetrate again with a condom, with trying to put on the condom getting in the way of keeping my erection. So I've gone on PrEP and have been selective with the guys, making sure they're also on prep, getting quarterly STI testing like me, staying clean, and asking about their partners. But I've yet to bareback fuck a guy (or even with a condom, which I don't wanna do anymore), since going on prep. All I'm interested in now is fucking bareback and even staying deep inside him when I shoot my cum load. I just want to feel the intimacy of skin on skin and breeding another man with my gay DNA. So I've now included that in my online profiles, only looking for other gay guys on prep for bareback fucking. And eventually I want to bottom bareback for another guy, and have him breed my ass.
Really, its just you who needs to be on PrEP to protect yourself? I do get the fact of preferring another guy on PrEP though, as you know he is getting tested at least quarterly for other STI's. Have you also asked for DoxyPEP single antibiotic to take after sex? Ironically, your next safest bet is someone with hiv, on meds who is undetectable which = untransmissable! Who would have ever thought from the nearly two decades of it being a death sentence, that its safer with someone infected & controlled on meds, than it is with someone who isn't tested & doesn't know his status?! Its mind blowing logic, that is still hard to wrap my head around? There is still the slight worry that the person may have become detectable since their last test? Due to skipping their anti viral meds, another med interfered with it, the virus mutated, or they picked up a strain not controlled? Some rare people have strains that are not blocked by PrEP, but that is still thankfully rare. Truvada itself is approximately 99% effective when used consistently. They are supposed to approve lenacapavir this summer, a PrEP shot for 6 months at a time! It's even yet more effective! In Europe, they are approving another tweak to it that protects you for 13 months, so they tell you every 12 months. That won't be approved in the US for a few years. Also they will sadly be expensive, and inaurance will balk at the cost, despite the mo ey it saves in preventing hiv!
@Suburbanray, unfortunately DoxyPEP has not yet been approved by Health Canada where I live. I will have to see how things unfold in my country and then consider it. Meanwhile, I just have to be selective with the guys I hook up with. But I do wish we had it, because I'm seriously considering attending a Naked Night at a gay bar in nearby Toronto and a CumUnion party at a bathhouse in Toronto, both in the next couple of weeks, and both filled with wall-to-wall naked guys, the vast majority fucking bareback.
I think that I've been fucked two or three times with a condom... and I hated it with a passion. I've been fucked bareback since before HIV came along to fuck shit up and after it arrived on our shores and... I've always tested negative for any infections (knock on wood). Then again, I just won't let anyone in my ass, not like I used to in the pre- and teenaged years.
Risingbi, look around for some online doctor services to get DoxyPEP. It is a generic medicine. You can likely get it via online doctor at platforms like MISTR, Q Care Plus, and 24HrDOC, and callondoc, etc? It is effective up to 72 hours after unprotected sex.
