Even the newest and thinnest condoms can't compare with the "barebacking" sex
BUT! Of course, there are certain rules - it's possible only with the "approved" partner =)

Saddlebacking is the opposite of barebacking. It's still funny, when a guy's got a megachurch named after condom sex (or vice-versa). Even a mildly naughty definition will eventually force him to change the name of his church. But only if it sticks!

Yeah, I've heard/used the term in reference to vaginal unprotected sex as well.

While I'd like to see "saddlebacking" refer to something negative a la Santorum, it does seem like an obviously great term for protected sex, which does need a term. So.
Posted by violet_dagrinder]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:12:42 -0800 The Stranger I've heard barebacking refer to both anal and vaginal sex without a condom. So saddlebacking should be vaginal OR anal sex with a condom.
Plus women are more derelict in condom use than gay men and could use a fun word for safe sex as badly as the gays.
After all, wouldn't you rather tell a partner who wants to have sex without a condom (gay/straight/anal/vaginal) "No way I'm a saddleback guy/girl/MTF/FTM/ETC" than "I only play safe" or the clinical "I only use condoms"?

As a heterosexual I feel so guilty that we haven't devoted the resources to curing AIDS.

It is not a split infinitive (where a word comes between a "to" and its verb: "to boldly go where no one has gone before") and there are arguments in academic circles as to whether split infinitives matter at all. I mean, seriously, do we really want to hear, "to go boldly where no one has gone before?"

It's a bit like the ending-a-sentence-with-a-preposition issue.



Saddlebacking: anal sex with condoms? Works for me.

That assumption is implicit because it is true.

"this is only online in Seattle and no where else." I wasn't kidding about going back to school.

So "saddlebacking" is safe kinky sex?

Hmm, I had originally thought of "saddlebacking" as riding a sex partner around the room like a polo pony during an orgy. I mean used in a sentence you could say: "During the last chukker, I remounted a Theta Chi and put the losers lead by scoring a field goal while I was rolling the Trojan."

So "saddlebacking" is stirrups, bridles, straps, ropes with condoms. Okay, I'll vote for Stuck In Boston.
