bareback

Riding without tack

Bareback means without a saddle: She rode bareback through the fields.

The word extends to anything done without the usual protective covering.

In sexual slang, bareback refers to intercourse without a condom: barebacking.

The term carries particular weight in discussions of HIV transmission risk.
