i hear 'we prefer bareback'... well who the hell would prefer a condom? of course you prefer bareback.
for all the people saying they never or rarely use condoms, i can say i've never met any of you or any like you in a swinging situation.
in the past six years, we have not meet any couple that did not require condoms for full swap... nor have we ever witnessed any couples in full swap that weren't using condoms --- ourselves included. |
^THAT^ is incredibly refreshing to hear. I was starting to get really nervous that we would be a shunned minority for wanting to play a little safer!
I used to work at a sex store and was the resident "scholar". I read every damn book on the subject of sex that I could get my hands on. I know the risks involved and, frankly, I don't want 'em. I barely escaped herpes infection because TWO different previous long-term partners, whom I trusted and with whom I stopped using condoms eventually, chose not to disclose that they were infected until much later in the relationships - after the condoms had been shelved! Thankfully I did not contract, but I shouldn't have been forced to play that particular game of Russian roulette.
Trust is fine and dandy, but people lie, all the time, regardless of whether or not you trust them. If it reaches a point with a couple that we decide to go condomless, I will ask to swap STD tests first. If they are offended (as someone else here stated they would be), then I'll know that it's time to look elsewhere, for people that understand our concerns. Bareback is wonderful! Seriously, I wish I could go all free-love with everyone, but it's not worth the risks, IMO.
