LAS VEGAS – A new social network for gay men who enjoy bareback sex has launched. Bareback sex is sex without condoms.

Barebackers.com is a creation of 15-year-old bareback adult studio Hot Desert Knights. The company has released more than 100 DVDs featuring leather, fisting, bears and hung European studs, all performing without barrier protection. HDK has said sexually transmitted infection testing and sero-sorting allow them to match sexual partners with like health statuses, keeping everyone safe on-set.

According to a spokesman for the studio, with the launch of Barebackers.com, HDK hopes to provide customers and other responsible, consensual adults who enjoy natural sex with the right opportunities and environment for dating, friendship, love, serious relationships and, of course, hookups.

“We have put every effort into making Barebackers.com the most vibrant gay bareback social networking site on the internet,” Hot Desert Knights President Lee Watson said. “We are launching the new site with high-end features such as full-size photos for all, instant messaging, emails with photo attachment, a special “wink icon,” chat rooms, forums, online groups, classified ads, events, blogging, personal videos and even member video greetings. We have also improved the search and browsing capability of the site to allow a member to search for matches they specifically choose, based on the same criteria as in the member profile. It’s totally free to join and use, and all members are able to browse the database by geological location, ZIP code, gender, age and many other dating and meeting options.

“Barebackers.com will follow a stringent privacy policy, user agreement and code of conduct practices for the privacy and protection of all members,” he added. “We are committed to safeguarding our members’ information, including emails, addresses and contact details. Those will never be sold or rented to any third-party organizations. The objective of this site is to bring our loyal customers and the gay bareback community closer together in a helpful and productive manner, by using the latest in online communication tools, so gay men who prefer natural man-on-man sex can interact in a community of their own with other like-minded respectful consensual, informed adults.”

The site has its own affiliate program, which pays a 50-percent recurring revenue share.
