raw dogging

Going in bare

Raw dogging originally means having sex without a condom: He raw dogged her and now she's pregnant.

The phrase has extended to doing anything without a usual protective or comfort layer—flying without entertainment or sleeping pills (raw dogging a twelve-hour flight), drinking coffee black, or enduring any experience unmediated.

The newer sense often carries a note of ironic toughness or deliberate asceticism.
