People barebacking just puts others, SSs and SPs, in the punting community at risk. All it takes is for one person with an infection and the infection spreads. The infection may be minor or life changing. The risk outweighs the reward.
If SSs and SPs act responsibly and don't bareback then we can all manage the health risks associated with punting through using condoms and being tested regularly. If you come down with an STI you take a break, get treated, get retested and then get back into it.
I am totally against barebacking.
Absolutely. You don't know what people may be up to. Unfortunately nobody would come with a green discharge, usually the punters don't know they have got it. Maybe they saw someone only a few days before, and carry the infection into the next booking. Chlamydia symptoms may take longer like two even 3 weeks and it's 50/50 chance you will be in pain, unlike gonorrhea when most men will know something is wrong within days.
It would be also interesting to know with the odds what makes you catch it during owo as a provider, maybe depth, length of exposure, some guys have precum and some guys don't. Most will have some horny precum. I know Dean Street told me some time ago, when I was unlucky, that mouthwash can help. So I equipped myself with Listerine ( I was using it before but this time I decided to hold it longer ) and then I was unlucky again, and they told me it doesn't help. So who knows really? All you can do is test every month and hope for the best. Nobody would deliberately give you an std had they had symptoms or knew they had it.
I don't even think it's about number of people you see, you can be lucky with 30 guys and unlucky with 1. Maybe the more people you see the more likely but it's not a rule.
The only good thing is it doesn't happen very often at all which makes you believe the chances for both parties are on the lower side owo wise
Someone told me the other month that there is more barebacking now on the site, apparently 70% are British girls and the rest foreign girls. I didn't look but it's more prolific now. so there are bound to be more stds out there. I think it's because of Prep which we didn't have ten years ago.
Btw if you have unprotected bareback ( just one time ) as a woman you have 90% chance of catching gonorrhea from an infected man and 50/50 that you won't have any symptoms so you could carry it and not know and it can harm your insides. At least from the throat it doesn't expand anywhere. I know that clinic told me once it will eventually ( but not quickly ) perish because the throat will just clear it out.
