"The Bitch Letters"



This part of the column contains correspondence from the "Act-Uppity" among us opposed to barebacking and who feel unnaturally compelled to let us know how horrible we are for having the audacity to enjoy sex without fear. Sometimes I dignify their politically correct prattle with a reply. Enjoy!

Dear Jack,
(This letter came in response to my refusal to place a safe-sex party listing on the bareback party page)

Dear Jack,
A man who does not promote the use of condoms must be, in my opinion, infected with the HIV virus and doesn't care. What benefit is there in endangering your like by not wearing a condom? Don't you see that you caould DIE of AIDS? I just don't see the compensating benefits of unprotected sex as you seen to advertise it on the net. This sounds dangerous and unmethodical.

This web site of yours is promoting a hazardous lifestyle to the community. My request is that you consider other peoples safety as you operate your web page. I think, perhaps restructuring it to everyone's best interests and safety would be thoughtful and considerate of yourself.

Thank you for reading this.

Dear Vanillaboy,

I am uncertain as to what you must have been thinking to visit my site, which is CLEARLY not in your interest, and then attempt to post a safe-sex ad on a bareback party page, and change the focus of the site because it doesn't meet your approval. That would be much like a Jew going to a Catholic mass and requesting the Torah be read by the priest. It also tells me you are not terribly observant.

Or perhaps you just enjoy acting as a rebel.

You make the mistake of assuming that because I bareback I am HIV positive. Fortunately, not our entire community is as blindly black and white in its thinking. About one- third of the barebackers I receive mail from are HIV-negative, and most wish to maintain their HIV-negative status. I don't expect you to understand the possibility of this simply because of your already pre-determined method of looking at sex.

Condoms are not 100% effective in preventing HIV transmission, and barebacking is not 100% effective in causing HIV transmission (the point most people as yourself miss most often is that transmitting HIV requires that one of the parties involved ALREADY HAS the virus to transmit).

Another point you seem to be missing is that there is a definite interest within the community toward barebacking. That is evidenced by the fact that I have on the average of 1,000 hits to this site per day, and by the volume of ads I receive from men looking for others into bareback sex. Mine is one of many bareback sites on the net (admittedly, though, it is one of the most comprehensive), so I guess I am not the only promoter of what you term a "hazardous lifestyle to the community".

Look around you, Vanillaboy.

Obviously www.barebackjack.com is not the website for you. I could guarantee you that a site entitled www.vanillaboy1.com would not be a website where I would belong, either. And re-structuring my site to suit your particular concept of political correctness is simply inappropriate. Every product has a target audience. Mine is barebackers, and it appears that you are not in my target audience.

One of the freedoms we are guaranteed in this country is the freedom to express unpopular or controversial ideas. Simply by being gay and expressing that aspect of yourself, you are already enjoying the benefit of this freedom. And yet, you would wish to take away another man's right to the same by asking him to conform to your way of thinking or present ideas that only coincide with yours. Isn't that a double standard, Vanillaboy?

No I will not change my format to satisfy your selfish, unresearched, black-and-white thinking. To do so would be to take away a freedom of expression from the thousands of people around the world who enjoy viewing my site. I recommend you find a site on the internet that is more in line with your restricted way of thinking.

Respectfully,

~Bareback Jack.
