Over the years condom use has changed drastically. Many gay men see it a pain in the ass. Now I know this is not the case for all gay men, but for far too many, condoms are more than just a minor nuisance.

That said, when it comes to our sexual appetite, many of us know how important it to protect ourselves from HIV and other STIs. Without condoms, it would only be a matter of time until HIV comes knocking.

Is it possible for us to not shame gay men that want to have sex the natural way? Barebacking is a large component of many gay men’s sexual identity and there’s also a right way and a wrong way to ride raw and for many PrEP is the way.

Can we ever not feel shame and disgust by gay men that bareback?
