A noun defined as "(with the) the naked state, nude body." When, where, by whom was this used? DCDuring TALK 20:35, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Doesn't seem to collocate with in, at least.​—msh210℠ (talk) 21:15, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

"The bare which" finds false scans of "the hare which", "the bare before" finds "the hare before". "The bare of" finds scans of "the bars of", but also "Vancha clasped the bare of my neck and squeezed amiably." (2002, Darren Shan, Hunters of the dusk: 7.) Not the requested sense, but at least a correctly-scanned noun "bare". - -sche 02:19, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

bare

Sense “without a condom". I imagine this is short for bareback, but can't find anything related. – Jberkel (talk) 12:10, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Hm, what you cited are phrasal constructions like "to go (in) bare", "to have bare". Not sure if bare on its own would be understood in that specific sense. – Jberkel (talk) 07:28, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
