When you consider that most bareback (condomless) fucking takes place behind closed doors at a Gay Bathhouse/Sauna, you begin to understand the risk environment that promotes unsafe sex between two people. Most of the sexual encounters at a Gay Bathhouse/Sauna are one-on-one or several (multiple) one-on-one encounters in the course of a visit. These encounters are typically anonymous. Young males, particularly those in the 18 to 25 year old age group, are particularly vulnerable to having unsafe sexual encounters because of their age peer group, sexual fitness level, and their self-assessment of overall health and physical fitness.

When a newly minted 18yo male makes his first visit to a Gay Bathhouse/Sauna, his youth sharply focuses the attention of other males in attendance. He is not only valued for his youth, he is also valued for his youthful sexual vigor and stamina. There are no illusions in a Gay Bathhouse/Sauna despite the poor or dim lighting conditions. For the newly minted 18yo making his first of many such forays into the world of the Gay Bathhouse/Sauna, he quickly learns who the hunters are and which game they are after. Not only are they valued for their youth, sexual vigor and stamina, they are also valued for their lack of practical experience. Such sexual novices are easy prey for the more skilled and seasoned veterans in this sexual play arena. This is a target-rich environment and most everyone knows and understands it. For the sexual novice in this target-rich environment, the opportunities for having unsafe sexual encounters are risk multipliers times the known risk factors.

Because most bareback fucking takes place behind closed doors, understanding the risk enviroment becomes paramount in managing a person's risk factors. For the inexperienced sexual novice, it is his lack of understanding of the risk environment that makes him most vulnerable to having unsafe sex as a practical matter. No matter how sexually active a newly minted 18yo might have been in his protected status as a minor youth, it really is a different environment once he begins his foray into the world of Gay Bathhouses and Saunas.

Secret codes? Universal signals? Why not just tatoo your ass with the words "Open for Business" on the left buttock and "No Condoms Allowed" on the right buttock.
