The LGBT community should also think about abandoning some risky practices which allow infections, and promote antibiotic resistance in the case of doxycicline "prep".

But I guess that sex without condoms is worth it, right?

Any solution to a public health problem that involves moralising about how groups should change their behaviour is not only doomed, it’s actively counterproductive.

And doxycycline is a PEP treatment, not a PrEP treatment; respectfully you should probably take a step back from conversations where you obviously aren’t informed about the basics.

The solution to the STD epidemic was moralizing teenagers to tell them to put on condoms. I was told personally several times in sex ed, biology classes and on-the fly by teachers and adults that condoms were not an option for casual sex. It worked.

Regarding PEP/PreP, Doxy has been researched and shown effective as PreP as well:

I have met doctors that recommended it to gay men, which is why I mentioned it.

Not speaking about LGBT related matters; Sex without condom is just like everything else - it depends on the person. For some people there is little to no difference. For others, wearing the condom removes all sensation, reducing the act to physical exercise. So is sex without condoms worth it? For some people, yes, it is.

The “LGBT community” broadly does not engage in risky sex practices. Lesbians don’t have regular, no strings attached sex and are at lower risk of contracting HIV than straight women. The common denominator is horny men, specifically horny men that have access to a variety of different sex partners.
