Abstract:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of bareback sexually explicit media (MSE) consumption on the practice of anal sex without a condom by men who have sex with men (MSM). To this end, a page was created on the Facebook® social network with a link that directed interested parties to a questionnaire. Cisgender men, aged 18 years and over, who had sex with other man (s) in the last 12 months were included. Data were collected in 2017 and analyzed using (uni)bivariate inferential statistics and multivariate logistic regression. 2,248 MSM participated in the research, with an average age of 24.4 years and an average of 3.9 partners in the last 30 days. Have multiple sexual partners (ORa: 9.4; 95% CI 3.9-22.4), prefer films with bareback scenes (ORa: 2.6; 95% CI 1.5-4.6), judge this practice a fetish and perform it (ORa: 3.52; 95% CI 2.3-5.4), have casual partnership (ORa: 1.8; 95% CI 1.5-1.9) and awareness of the partner\'s negative serological status for HIV (ORa: 1.4; 95% CI 1.1-2.3) were factors that increased the chances of engaging in anal sex without a condom. Thus, we verified an association between the consumption of MSE bareback and the practice of sex without a condom among MSM.
