dc.description.abstractThis study investigated whether “bareback” (i.e., condomless) sexually explicit media (SEM) consumption is differentially associated with men who have sex with men’s (MSM) concerns about, and willingness to have, condomless anal intercourse (CAI) versus anal intercourse with condoms. Participants were 659 Australian MSM who all reported their bareback SEM consumption and read a vignette in which they were propositioned for sex by a hypothetical male target. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four vignettes, in which the target exclusively preferred either CAI or anal intercourse with condoms, and either did or did not disclose that they took pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Perceived partner attractiveness was also measured as a potential moderator. Greater bareback SEM consumption was associated with reduced concerns about, and intentions to have, sex with a target who exclusively preferred CAI. Bareback SEM consumption, however, was not related to concerns about, or intentions to have, sex with a target who exclusively preferred anal intercourse with condoms. PrEP disclosure was not causally related to either concern about having, or intentions to have, sex with the target, nor did it moderate the relationship between bareback SEM consumption and these outcomes. Perceived partner attractiveness moderated the effect of bareback SEM consumption on general sexual intentions, such that bareback SEM was only associated with greater intentions to have sex when the partner was perceived to be highly attractive.
