I usually go for bareback, don’t really like condoms but have some on hand if necessary. Been on PrEP and got all available vaccinations for HPVs and MP. I get tested regularly and haven’t had any STDs for a long time. I also make sure to ask whoever I’m hooking up with about their sexual health to gauge how much of a risk going bareback will be. I’ll use a condom if I’m not too sure about who I’m with but most guys I hook up with are Arab and from the Middle East and that’s usually safer.
Being informed about sexual health and getting regularly tested will make your sex life better. No one likes condoms and you can go without them if you take the necessary precautions even if these convos can be uncomfortable.
