Hitch

Bareback for one husband, not the other. Is this fair?

Recommended Posts

Mr Hitch and I have discussed the LS at length and it's amazingly freeing....

 

About safe sex... Mr Hitch is 'fixed' (his words) and we are STD free (getting checked at the next appt so I can have something that proves it, just in case) so I thought he should be able to play bare, if it's okay with the other person/couple.

 

Due to a blood clot after knee surgery, I'm not allowed to be on birth control (going off was the best thing that ever happened to me) and I think I'm still fertile-ish. I'm 48 so Aunt Flo isn't always a visitor, but I don't want to find out the very bad way that going bare was a bad idea.

 

My question, is it fair to the other him of the couple that Mr Hitch gets to go condom free? I'm fine with him doing so, but will the other couple have a problem with it? I know you all are not every couple, but I'd love your thoughts...

 

Thanks!

Here is where communication is Key. Ask them. Nobody wants you pregnant. Your swing partner most likely does not want you pregnant either. If your cycle is uncertain then ask them. Yes, it's fair to ask and let them decide.

 

Other options:

 

There are female condoms rated at about 79%, male condoms are rated at 85%. The sponge if you have had children is rated at 68%. Diaphragm and spermicide is rated at 85%. Also talk to our doctor about the morning after pill. It is actually a short burst of hormones that prevent pregnancy, so they may not be a factor in causing blood clots. There are other contraceptives like The Copper T is a flexible coil with copper inserted into the uterus. It is like 99% effective. Cost is another factor. It can run $500-$1000, insurance coverage is uncertain. And it may have side effects as well. Also you can get your hormones checked.

 

I found this info at RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF BIRTH CONTROL METHODS

 

Also there are Herbs that can prevent pregnancy but they must be used properly. Herb info:

Have fun.

We have been swinging for a little over 2 years and going bareback has never come up with any partners, whether we played with them or not.

 

Based on my sample size of one, it would be a rarity to find anyone even interested in bareback, so if your Mr Hitch wants to go bareback you may turn off a lot of potential partners.

 

Just the suggestion of wanting to go bareback would eliminate any chances you had with us, even if you were willing to use condoms.

Why would the suggestion of going bareback eliminate any chances of playing with you? It's just another question as to play to know what everyone wants out of the session. Now if it were presented in an aggressive or insistent manner or reluctantly about using them I might understand? Hmmm... What is you thought behind this? I certainly would not play bareback without knowing the couple very very well and it being an exclusive couple so I am not condoning playing without condoms.

I can't use hormonal birth control due to a blood clot as well. The only option for me is an IUD (copper or the Mirena) I am uncomfortable with the idea of an IUD, so I haven't gotten one, but I would never play bareback even if pregnancy wasn't an issue. STD's are one of the biggest things holding us back. All it takes is one person who doesn't monitor themselves. I'm also not okay with Mr. Prufrock going bareback because it puts us both at risk.

 

If we ever end up finding a couple we click with, and are exclusive and comfortable with them, we may consider bareback, but there would have to be some serious friendship and trust involved.

 

I digress, the main point of my post was to say that if you are interested in the IUD route, most insurances should cover it at little or no cost due to Obamacare. Just call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask how they cover IUD's/contraceptive devices.

 

As to your play partner feeling upset, if he was really committed to going bareback, he'd have followed your husband's example and gotten snipped. He can't really be upset about it, vasectomies are much less invasive then getting your tubes tied. If he did lodge a complaint (I'm not saying anyone would, pretty sure he wouldn't want you to get pregnant either) I just wouldn't play with him. Everyone has their rules

What would your move be if the other guy was 'fixed' (your words). Then you would have two fixed guys with two wild girls. What then... :sex:

We have been swinging for 14 months, and the topic of playing bareback has come up many times. In our experience anyway, it is not at all rare. Perhaps, Brad145, you have been successful in finding a circle of friends who agree with your views on condom use. Maybe it's an age thing- our age group includes more people who are not worried about getting pregnant.

 

About your statement of the mere suggestion of going bareback being disqualifying for play with you... I am as perplexed as a couple of other commenters here as to why you find the raising of the topic to be disqualifying. That said, your approach does does have a familiar ring to it. We have had two cases where couples, who we were corresponding with and getting along famously, dropped us like a hot rock once they discovered that we had played bareback in the past. We were not insisting that we play bareback with them, and in fact took great pains to emphasize that we think that either guy should wear a condom if anybody thinks he should. But the fact that we had bareback play in our history was enough to disqualify us.

 

To address Hitch's question, I think that you should explain the situation to potential play partners, as you have explained it to us. I don't believe any reasonable person would think you're trying to be unfair- as long as Mr. Hitch is willing to put on the raincoat when requested!

I can see why playing bareback with others might be a dealbreaker. In theory, they're less safe because who knows who they've gone bareback with? Even if you use a condom with them, what if the condom breaks? I'm not saying I would automatically eliminate people who play bareback, but I can see that side of things.

What you say is statistically true. But in my opinion, someone who is going to disqualify people on this basis has too low of a tolerance for risk to be engaged in swinging. I don't mean to be blunt about it, but the unfortunate truth is that swinging carries with it an increased risk of acquiring an STD. If one is looking to eliminate this risk completely, the only way is to abstain from non-monogamous sex. The next best thing is to use condoms or dental dams for oral sex, because some STDs do not require intercourse for transmission. And gloves, because some STDs require only skin-to-skin contact. And STD test results, because a person may be lying when they say they're clean. And a several-month quarantine period between test results and playing, because some STDs may require that long between the time a person is infected and when their infected status would show up in a test.

 

I'm not trying to be snarky here (well, not just trying to be snarky ;) ). I'm trying to illustrate how one can either quickly go down the rabbit hole, or give themselves a false sense of security. If the people who reject folks based on past bareback play believe they are completely protecting themselves, they are regrettably fooling themselves.

Yes, there are people who do see it this way. And it is true to a degree. A few years ago a friend called to inform us they had been diagnosed with Chlamydia. We had used condoms when playing. Regardless, we got tested and were negative. But, I asked, "I thought you guys used condoms?" It turns out they didn't with a few select couples they felt they could trust. In addition these select couples mostly used condoms except with a few select (different) people. There were actually quite a few people not using condoms and an sti spread. Thank god it was treatable. But, still it was a pain to run out and get tested. If you think of the time and money and anxiety spent by that whole group of people, probably 20-30 people, to get tested, it's pretty crazy.

 

Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and HIV are very well controlled by condom use.

 

After that incident, we discussed, "Should it be a rule that we only play with always condoms people?" We decided against it because there are just so many who don't always use them. We decided it will just be the risk we take and we will always use them and get tested yearly.

The best birth control method in my book is vasectomy. I've had one, best decision I've ever made and the best $400 I ever spent. A bit more expensive now. Once you're past the wanting more children stage, it's the cheapest completely effective method of birth control. I say completely effective because you can monitor its effectiveness yourself without going and getting tested. All it requires is a microscope on low power. It's amazing to watch those little wigglers and easy to monitor their absence.

 

Condoms are effective for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and HIV, in the 85% range discussed above. Condoms are much less effective for herpes or HPV. In the older crowd, 50 and up, bareback is very popular and common. Some have said that going bareback is playing Russian roulette. Using condoms does reduces the roulette, but only down to 15% of your play. Call it semi-Russian roulette. The chances of being exposed to herpes and HPV are virtually certain even with condoms if you familiarize yourself with the stats. Doesn't mean you will become infected. Chlamydia, Gonorrhea are treatable and rare, at least in our older age group. Each person has to assess their comfort with risk. Safer sex (condoms) only reduces the risk of some STD's, doesn't eliminate the risk.

If you familiarize yourself with more of the stats, HSV-2 (genital herpes) is not nearly as easy to transmit as the previous post seems to imply. Stating that "the chances of being exposed to herpes is virtually certain, even with condoms" serves to increase people's irrational fears, without answering the only relevant question- how likely is it to transmit the infection?

 

How likely is it really to be infected with genital herpes? It is important for those with HSV-2 to behave responsibly, by using condoms (which do in fact help to reduce the risk of transmission), taking a daily anti-viral medication, and abstaining when they have an active outbreak. But if they take these responsible precautions, the chances of transmitting the virus and infecting a sexual partner are (depending on the study being referenced) somewhere between 0.4% and 2-3%, over a year's worth of exposure. Moreover, these odds apply to sexual contact via intercourse. The chances of infecting a sexual partner through oral sex are so much lower than the numbers I gave above, that it is essentially not worth considering as a risk factor.

 

It is also worth considering the likelihood of encountering a sexual partner who carries HSV-2. According to numbers I have seen, about 18% of US adults age 18 - 49 have the genital herpes virus. I have to think that the numbers are significantly higher among the swinger population, as we tend to have many more sexual partners than the general population. But I do not want to engage in speculation, so let's start with the 18% number. Another study shows that something like 80% of people who would test positive for HSV-2 are asymptomatic, and do not even know that they have the virus. So just a simple bit of math with those numbers tells me that at least one out of every six people you play with in your travels as a swinger has HSV-2 and does not know it.

 

So HSV-2 is common, and there are many opportunities to become infected without even knowing it. The good news is that this virus, unlike HPV, does not carry a risk of causing cancer. It is a relatively benign condition, that has no more impact for most people than to cause occasional localized skin outbreaks.

If for no other reason, condoms also provide a barrier between us and any other partners...it provides a intimacy barrier in addition to the other functions it provides. For this reason alone, no matter what our play partners 'situation' is, they will be required.

 

It's always been kind of a running joke that if you are wearing a condom, as long as you are careful with your hands and feet, you can still say that you never actually 'touched' the other person...I guess it's more of a visual thing.

Even though this blog entry about fluid bonding is geared more toward those who are polyamorous, I think some of it does ring true for some swingers as well, for the reason GoldCoCouple pointed out. Barebacking/fluid bonding can sometimes have an emotional aspect and can be seen as something only reserved for those who are "special". A condom is not only serves as a physical barrier but a metaphor in keeping a certain distance away from playmates. It is similar in thought to those who have a "no kissing" rule. Kissing is just too intimate to share with others.

 

Are there swingers that engage in barebacking that don't assent to this? Absolutely. Just as swingers are able to separate sex from love, they can separate the emotional/intimate aspect between barebacking with their spouse to barebacking with a playmate.

We are among those who play bareback with some couples. Luckily for us, we haven't had any STDs (knock on wood). But we also don't disqualify anyone if they don't go bareback, even if I let the other guy goes bareback with me. It's really a choice between four people, and unless everyone agrees, we will use condoms. But I don't think we have come across anyone who sees it as a tit-for-tat thing like if your husband goes bareback then my husband must go bareback situation.

      Ok so this may be a bit taboo and yes there are plenty of issues that come with this… but our conversation (and fantasies) revolve around swapping and sex in this fashion.
       
      It might sound silly but is this frowned upon in swinger circles? Would we be blacklisted or is there a place for this?
       
      We wouldn’t be sleeping around and maybe hope to find a regular couple or 2 to have this fun with, but as a general rule what’s the community’s approach to those coming in and looking to have bareback sex?

      I'm not sure if this is what you would call double standards...but we were talking last night about gangbangs and orgies. I was just curious why it would be sooooo easy for a female to have either one but yet if a male put in an ad looking for females to do an orgy with it would be impossible!

      Last year, my husband revealed that his biggest fantasy was me being a hot wife and fuck other men. He said it turned him on to see another man’s cock in all my holes.
       
      A few months ago, he took me to an upscale hotel in Dallas, I finally gave him what he wanted.  He was the wildest Saturday in my life. 
       
      First, he booked an in-room massage for me.  The masseur was a young, well-built black man.  As I laid on his massage table, he slipped out of his clothes.  I swear his cock hung nearly to his knees. At the end of the massage, he started rubbing my clit and fingering me.  He brought me off several times. He then moved closer to my head and started rubbing my tits, pinching my nipples, and fingering my cunt at the same time.  His semi-hard cock was within a foot of my mouth so I reached out and put in my mouth.  He instantly became hard as I sucked him.  He then grabbed my head and pushed his cock down my throat.  I soon felt and tasted his cum flowing down my throat. 
       
      After he left, I texted my husband and told him to come up to the room.  I thanked him profusely and stepped into the shower while J laid out my clothes for the evening.  When I finished my shower, I saw my outfit J picked out.  It was a blue silk dress with chains with three chains across the back.  Obviously, no bra tonight.  He also didn’t pack any underwear as he wanted me to go “commando.” A new pair of stilettos accompanied the beautiful dress.  When I finished my makeup, I slipped on the dress.  The dress was very short, only 3 inches below my pussy.  The material was very clingy and you could clearly see my nipples and areolas. After I finished dressing, J told me an Uber was waiting for me outside to take me to a fancy cocktail bar about 4 blocks away.  He told me to sit at the bar and order a drink.  He would be along in an hour or so. 
       
      I nervously climbed into the Uber.  As I slid into the back seat, the hotel door man got a good peak up my dress as it slid up my thighs.  Our sex life was beginning a new chapter. 
       
      I walked into the bar and felt the eyes of every guy turn towards me. I sat at the bar and ordered a Manhattan. It didn't take long for the first guy to sit next to me.  Within 5 minutes, a handsome Hispanic man asked if he could sit next to me and buy me a drink.  I nervously agreed.  As we chatted, he scooted his chair closer to me and placed a hand on my thigh.  My bare thing!
       
      He repeatedly eyed my body from top to bottom.  The dress that was hugging my body, and my swaying breasts.  I wore a gold necklace that hung just above my cleavage. He lifted my necklace up to look at it and brushed my breast as he did so. 
       
      Shortly after another guy approached. He was also handsome & charming, but there was a bit of an edge to him. He bought me a drink, we chatted a bit, and this time I did feel excited.
       
      His name was E and he owned his own business. He was very handsome so I really didn’t care about that information.  As we started our second drink together, husband arrived.  I now knew where this was going. 
       
      The three of us had a nice dinner and did some dancing.  E- then asked if I wanted to get out of there. I knew what that meant, so I eagerly said yes.
       
      The three of us to our hotel room.  J made us some drinks while E started to caress and kiss me.  The drapes to our room were open.  As admiring the beautiful Dallas skyline, E slipped my dress off which sank to the floor.  He asked me to keep my shoes on.  I watched our reflections as E kissed me all over.  He lifted me up and pressed me against the window. The glass was cold against my bare breasts but I didn’t care as E’s hot breath kept me warm.  Soon he pushed me onto the bed.
       
      I pushed myself away from him, turned around, got on my knees and unzipped his pants, revealing a nice, uncut cock. I gave E the experience of his life, sucking him off in front of the window. I started slow and methodical, but after warming up starting sucking him at a feverish pace. He groaned, occasionally telling me how good it felt and how I was a good little cock sucker.  His hand grabbed my head, pulling me deeper into him. I took every inch of him in, then felt his cum shooting into the back of my throat as he gave a deep groan.  He held me there as I took all of his cum in, swallowing every drop. As his half hard cock left me mouth, I looked up at him, giving both him and J a mischievous grin.
       
      He took forced me back onto the bed and started licking my cunt. I felt my first orgasm of the evening come over me as he licked my cunt, tongued my clit, and fingered my asshole. 
      As I came down from my orgasm, I felt his hard cock slip into my soaking wet pussy. He asked if he needed a condom.  I said “No, I want your raw cock in me."
       
      His cock started sliding in and out, in and out. The whole time he whispered in my ear, telling me how good my pussy made him feel... how tight it was... how wet it was. How naughty of a girl I was for taking in the cock of a man I just met.
       
      He moved me over onto my hands and knees. He kept sliding in and out of me, dominating my pussy as he fucked me hard.  "Oh yeah, fuck me." I said to him. He started thrusting harder into me. I felt my second orgasm of the night building. "Don't stop, I'm going to cum."
       
      My body gave out as my second orgasm overtook me. Holy shit did that feel good. Just as I began to come down from it, I felt him give a big thrust and cum deep inside my unprotected pussy.
       
      He collapsed onto my back, his heavy body pressing me into the bed. "God you're so sexy," he growled into my ear.
       
      We laid together in silence on the bed as J watched us basking in the afterglow of our fucking. I then felt J on the bed.  He was on his back with a nice erection.  I took him into my mouth then J said, "Ride me please."  I straddled J and started riding his cock. 
       
      J then grabbed my waist and pinned me.  I then felt E working a lubed finger into my ass.  I slowed my pace and steadied my breath as I took his entire finger in my ass.  I bit my lip and waited for the next step.  I then felt E slip his cock into my ass.  I now had my husband in my cunt and my new lover in my ass.  The two men started fucking me in earnest.  "Fuuuuccckkkk..." I groaned as his cock entered me again. J and I did anal sex all the time, but this was a bigger cock than I was used to plus J was in my pussy making every hole tighter.  I simply hung on for the ride of my life. 
       
      After letting my ass adjust to E’s cock, he started thrusting into me, very slow and methodically at first. He then started fucking me like his life depended on it.  It didn't take long until my most powerful orgasm yet overtook me. I let out a groan-scream as my ass pulsed around his cock.
       
      E and J kept fucking me through my orgasm, gradually picking up the pace. Then the let out a groan and came inside ass and cunt. My holes were now filled with cum. 
       
      It was the best Saturday of my life.  Counting the masseur, I took two loads in my mouth, two in my cunt, and one in my ass.  After E left, J and I cuddled and drifted off to sleep.  I had the sweetest of dreams.

      We NEVER use condoms. We both luv the feeling & taste of cum. I have a sixth sense and can tell when someone is not healthy. We don’t swing with drunks, druggies, smokers or heavily tattooed people. If a person obviously disregards their own health, we just pass on them. This has worked for us for 40 years.

      We met with a couple at a club that we had been chatting with and we clicked and decided to play. When it came down to the protection part, I guess we hadn't chatted about it before then, but we found out that they normally don't use it. Of course they agreed to with us. No protection is a deal breaker for us. What I'm now wondering is if you wouldn't play with someone who doesn't use protection all the time?
