Gay bare fuck

Tim Dean. Barebacking—when gay men deliberately abandon fucks and embrace unprotected sex—has incited a great deal of shock, outrage, anger, and even disgust, but very little contemplation. But ultimately, it is HIV that animates the controversy around barebacking, and Unlimited Intimacy explores how barebackers think about transmitting the virus—especially the idea that deliberately sharing it establishes a new network of kinship among the infected.

According to Dean, intimacy makes us vulnerable, exposes us to emotional risk, and forces us to drop our psychological barriers. As a committed experiment in intimacy without limits—one gay makes those metaphors of intimacy quite literal—barebacking thus says a great deal about how intimacy works.

Written with a fierce intelligence and uncompromising nerve, Unlimited Intimacy will prove to be a milestone in our understanding of sexual behavior. Gay and Lesbian Studies. Gender and Sexuality.
