raw dog

Without any protection

Raw dog means to have sex without a condom.

The term treats the condom as a barrier that, when absent, leaves things unprotected or "raw." It functions as both verb and adverb: They raw dogged it or went raw dog.

The phrase is vulgar slang, common in casual speech about unprotected sex.
