“…This resistance extends toward all ''restricting'' cultural mores. Barebackers may feel disenfranchised from the larger culture as well as gay community due to HIV phobia and discrimination (Cadwell, 1991;Stirratt, 2005), exalted standards of beauty (Beren, Hayden, Wilfley, & Grilo, 1996;Siever, 1994;Wood, 2004) and materialism (Clark, 1993).…”

Unprotected sex among gay/bisexual men throughout the AIDS epidemic has usually been described as unintentional due to a relapse from safer sex behavior. The term "barebacking" emerged among HIV-positive men explicitly seeking unprotected sex with seroconcordant partners, but has come into use in the larger gay community to simply mean condomless sex. Some men have also taken on the identity as a "barebacker." The present study assessed prevalence and predictors of bareback identity in a sample 687 gay/bisexual men attending community events. Barebackers reported significantly more use of crystal methamphetamine and higher peer norms for unprotected sex; HIV-negative barebackers were higher in sexual compulsivity while HIV-positive barebackers were higher in romantic obsession as well as drug/alcohol influenced sexual expectancies. HIV prevention efforts targeting barebackers and barebacking must be carefully developed if programs and campaigns are to be effective given the open debates about this phenomenon in the gay community.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the potential signi®cance of the sequence of the onset of dieting and binge eating in binge eating disorder (BED). DESIGN: BED patients were interviewed and completed a battery of psychometrically well-established measures of current eating behaviors, eating disorder psychopathology, and associated psychological functioning. SUBJECTS: Participants were 98 consecutive outpatients with BED evaluated for a clinical trial. MEASURES: Interview data, self-report measures and measured body weight were examined. RESULTS: Participants who reported that dieting preceded binge eating (DIET®rst, 65%) were compared to those who reported that binge eating preceded their ®rst diet (BINGE®rst, 35%). The study groups did not differ in demography, current or highest body mass index, current eating behaviors or psychopathology, or psychological functioning. The two groups did not differ in age of ®rst diet; however, the BINGE®rst group was signi®cantly younger when ®rst overweight, at onset of binge eating, and at onset of BED diagnosis. The BINGE®rst group reported a higher frequency of being teased about their weight. CONCLUSIONS: A substantial subgroup of BED patients report that binge eating preceded their ®rst diet. This ®nding, which replicates previous reports for BED and appears higher than that generally reported for bulimia nervosa, may have implication for etiologic models of binge eating.
