This morning, like wildfire posts all over facebook were talking about Adshel, a company that displays advertising in bus shelters and billboards, crumbling to homophobia and removing a safe sex campaign featuring, amongst others, a loving real life gay couple in a harmless embrace (above)

Within hours a protest outside the Adshel offices had taken place and press had gotten wind of the story. According to Adshel a “large number” of complaints had been received about the poster citing all the usual stories about exposing children to sexual images etc.

By the end of the day, after the governing body that handles complaints had ruled that the image didn’t break any rules, Adshel admitted that they had fallen prey to a campaign orchestrated by the Australian Christian Lobby. In all less than 40 complaints were lodged.

In a fantastic result Adshel will reinstate the campaign immediately. Read the full article here.

This video hit the web several weeks ago but I thought after the last post it made sense to post it now. It’s nice to see Brent Corrigan advocating safe sex too. Perhaps he’s balancing the equation after doing bareback porn earlier in his career. There is a hot, uncensored version here.

Yesterday afternoon I got in a mood to wander darkened corridoors not wearing much listening to strangers huffing and puffing, so I took myself off to the sauna (bathouse). Conveniently I was also in the mood to have some detached sex with strangers, so I did that too.

After playing with a couple of different people and having some fun I saw a guy that totally did it for me. He was really tall and kinda beefy with a cute smile. I did take note that he was there with what looked like his boyfriend, which proved to be correct after he and I connected in the steam room.

He told me he was HIV positive and I said that was fine thinking logically I was only going to be having safe sex anyway. As we walked into the glamorous private room with it’s ever so comfy wipe down mattress, his boyfriend joined us along with someone else that he’d picked up. That’s when things started to get off putting for me. I had my head around the fact that they were poz guys, then the other guy starts fucking the guy I had connected with, without a condom. I kinda assumed at that point that he was poz too, fair enough, each to their own.

Then the boyfriend went to fuck the extra guy and extra guy said “just don’t cum in me”. At that point my naive little head caved in. Does that mean he’s actually negative but playing bareback? Ok, educated risks are one thing but barebacking if you are neg with poz guys is not a calculated risk I’ll ever take, but again, each to their own.

The bit that really got to me was the thought that followed that. That if they were poz but willing to fuck someone raw and possibly infect him and that was fine with them, then I wasn’t ok with that. So, they finished up, pretty much with me on the sidelines getting less turned on the more time I spent thinking about it and then we parted ways. I may have it all wrong, but I’ll be sticking to my condoms and safe sex thanks.

Sadly this is only open to Australian residents but I think it will be great. You need to make a 3 minute film sharing a safe sex message. Click here for all the details. I know there are amateur film makers out there. Safe sex is something that I’m passionate about and would love to know that the message is getting to the right people. Guys in their 20′s just don’t seem to care about looking after themselves these days. So get your cameras out and do us proud.
