Paperback. Marking the tenth anniversary of Tim Dean's Unlimited Intimacy, Raw returns to the question of sex without condoms, or barebacking, a timely topic in the age of PrEP, a drug that virtually eliminates the transmission of HIV. "Essential reading for anyone interested in the politics of sex, sexuality and sexual representation in the 21st century." John Mercer, author of Gay Pornography "Finally, queer theory returns to a topic it has had surprisingly little to say about: sex! Underpinning these essays is a thrilling wager: that desire demands discourse but resists rationalization." Damon R. Young, author of Making Sex Public and Other Cinematic Fantasies "A major contribution to research. It opens up the discourse on barebacking to a varity of perspectives and theoretical arguments, and makes clear that the topic remains relevant." John Paul Ricco, author of The Decision Between Us "Raw provides an account of the state of queer-theoretical scholarship on bareback today, and makes a pluralising and distinctive contribution to that body of work, significantly broadening this field of scholarship." Oliver Davis, editor of Bareback Sex and Queer Theory across Three National Contexts (France, UK, US) Contributors: Jonathan A.

How is the practice of barebacking understood and represented across media, theory, and policy?
Marking the tenth anniversary of Unlimited Intimacy, Tim Deans seminal work, Raw returns to the question of sex without condoms, or barebacking, a timely topic in the age of PrEP, a drug that virtually eliminates the transmission of HIV. The authors in Raw push Deans conclusions and show the urgent need to consider condomless sex, as it is still illegal for HIV-positive people in many jurisdictions.
Significantly broadens the field of scholarship on bareback, notably by including pieces on bareback in heterosexual pornography, by making connections with lesbian and BDSM identities and practices, and by discussing the experience of Black bareback bottoms and treating sex education considerations. Oliver Davis, author of Jacques Rancière
