 Re: Playing with a couple who doesn't use protection
In our profiles, we are open about our preference for bareback. We are certain that drives away a number of potential playmates, but we are okay with that because we try to maintain respect for the comfort level of others.
A number of good points have been made about how you can never really know how safe your playmates have been, or about how test results are only as good as the day they were taken. However, the factors which determine our comfort level are not always rational ones, so we can understand how seeing a test result or hearing someone say, "I always use condoms," can ease someone's discomfort even if it doesn't make them any safer. Abstinence is the only way to guarantee one's safety when it comes to sexual activity, so it all comes down to how much risk we are willing to accept.
