My personal thoughts on this are based on my own personal experiences, but regardless, here they are.
- I do agree that raw sex with an attractive woman is one of the best feelings on earth, and using a condom is the equivalent to kissing a woman's lips with a plastic bag around your face -- it just doesn't feel the same.
- I would personally only raw-dog it with women who are in a long term relationship with you and after having known her well. One night stands do occur, however I would save the raw-dogging for serious relationships. Anything else, I'd personally use a condom.
- With regards to people here posting about AIDS and other diseases that are fatal, unless you're hanging around homosexual men, IV drug abusers, or street prostitutes, your chances of contracting a serious infection like HIV/AIDS is extremely small. Studies done in Thailand with heterosexual unprotected intercourse between a prostitute and a client yielded that HIV/AIDS infection occurred in less than half of 1 percent of cases. Google has more links with these kinds of studies. I advise all men on here to do their own research. However, these studies and other studies don't mean you can just go out and raw-dog freely, there's always a risk, but the risk for heterosexual men is extremely small and not something I would be concerned about unless you're hanging out with the groups mentioned above.
- Always use common sense, if you're raw-dogging a girl you met on the internet, I'd seriously consider using a condom. POF is a hell hole, and I personally recommend AGAINST online-dating at all costs. You may be going in on her raw, but she may also have had many more unprotected encounters before you and who is to say you're just the only guy she is currently seeing with unprotected sex?
- And again, avoid the internet to pick up women. Get out there in the real world and meet them. And use common sense. Try to avoid girls with a history of many partners, avoid club rats, bar hoppers, and any woman who advertises herself on POF or similar site.
