“…Non-consensual removal of condoms, colloquially referred to as ‘stealthing’[1] or ‘stealth-breeding’ [2], refers to the practice of a sexual partner covertly removing a condom, when consent has been given for condom protected sex only [1]. Condoms are used as a primary preventative method of protecting against sexually transmitted infections (STI), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and pregnancy, being 80 to 98.6% effective [3–5].…”

“…Several studies have identified stealthing as a method of birth control sabotage [9, 10], as well as a means of intentional HIV transmission [11]. Anecdotal research by Brodsky focusing on heterosexual and heteronormative relations, and theoretical research by Brennan focusing on condom-less sex between men, argue these are not the primary motivators for this act [1, 2].…”

BackgroundNon-consensual removal of condoms, colloquially referred to as ‘stealthing’, is the removal of a condom during sex by a sexual partner when consent has been given for sex with a condom only.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey to determine how commonly women and men who have sex with men (MSM) attending Melbourne Sexual Health Centre had experienced stealthing, and analysed situational factors associated with the event. Responses were linked to demographic information extracted from patient files.Results1189 of 2883 women (41.2%), and 1063 of 3439 MSM (30.9%) attending the clinic during the study period completed the survey. Thirty-two percent of women (95% CI: 29%,35%) and 19% of MSM (95% CI: 17%,22%) reported having ever experienced stealthing. Women who had been stealthed were more likely to be a current sex worker (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] 2.87, 95% CI: 2.01,4.11, p <0.001). MSM who had experienced stealthing were more likely to report anxiety or depression (AOR 2.13, 95% CI: 1.25,3.60, p = 0.005). Both female and male participants who had experienced stealthing were three times less likely to consider it to be sexual assault than participants who had not experienced it (OR 0.29, 95% CI: 0.22,0.4 and OR 0.31, 95% CI: 0.21,0.45 respectively).ConclusionsA high proportion of women and MSM attending a sexual health service reported having experienced stealthing. While further investigation is needed into the prevalence of stealthing in the general community, clinicians should be aware of this practice and consider integrating this question into their sexual health consultation. Understanding situational factors would assist in the development of preventive strategies, particularly female sex workers and MSM.

“…In contrast to the media, as a construct of academic interest, scholarship on the stealthing trend is negligible (Brennan, 2017), particularly outside the discipline of law. Yet, stealthing, I will argue, merits focused academic scrutiny in the human and social sciences for a number of reasons.…”

“…A long-standing sex act (Huges, 2017) perpetrated by individual men that resolutely vitiates the sexual autonomy and agency of women has recently garnered widespread media and limited but discipline specific academic attention (most notably in the field of law) (Brennan, 2017;Brodsky, 2017;Clough, 2018). This is the act of stealthing.…”

I’m Not Sure This Is Rape, But: An Exposition of the Stealthing Trend

Upholding the sexual and reproductive rights of all women and girls has been flagged as a global priority. However, the hetero-patriarchal actions and systems within which female sexuality and reproduction is situated not only disenfranchises women of these rights, but it sometimes usurps these rights from them, without them knowing. One such act, is the practice of stealthing. This conceptual article argues that the stealthing trend is a relevant construct in the human and social sciences because it has a detrimental impact on female sexuality and gender-based sexual violence. Through both a conceptual scrutiny of the construct and through online narratives of stealthing, this article not only establishes stealthing as a distinctive form of gender-based sexual violence, it also establishes it as a practice that deviously subjugates female sexuality and reproduction under the guise of sexual autonomy and sexual consent.

“…Contudo, o ato de remover a camisinha durante a relação sexual sem o consentimento do parceiro não é uma prática exclusiva de relações heterossexuais. Com uma denominação distinta, a remoção da camisinha sem o consentimento do parceiro é denominada como "stealth breeding", conforme alguns estudos internacionais [39][40][41] .…”

Resumo Este artigo aborda o fenômeno da violência nas trajetórias afetivo-sexuais de jovens gays cisgênero, pertencentes a camadas populares da região metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. A literatura brasileira sobre violência contra homens gays, geralmente, tem como foco a discriminação sofrida por esta população, mas pouco se problematiza a violência que eles sofrem nas relações familiares devido à sua orientação sexual, ou ainda, em suas relações ditas como “namoro” ou “ficar”. Com o objetivo de discutir a presença de violências durante a trajetória afetivo-sexual dos jovens, este estudo qualitativo realizou entrevistas em profundidade a partir de um roteiro semiestruturado. Os resultados mostraram que há múltiplas faces de violência que ocorrem durante a infância e adolescência nas relações familiares, perpassando nos seus relacionamentos afetivo-sexuais na adolescência e juventude, incluindo violências sexuais, físicas, psicológicas e institucionais. As redes de apoio dos jovens são limitadas, como exemplo, a poucos amigos e ao acesso de blogs na internet. Nenhum profissional de saúde foi citado pelos jovens como fonte de ajuda. Destaca-se também a necessidade de debater a prevenção da violência e promoção da saúde destes jovens, ampliando o olhar para as várias formas contemporâneas de se relacionar intimamente.
