LifeLube, Association of Latin Men for Action, Chicago Black Gay Men’s Caucus, Communities of Color Collaborative, Project CRYSP, and Feast of Fun are teaming up to present a free podcast forum exploring what HIV prevention looks like now.

It’s your chance to hear from real guys who are taking “the pill” to prevent getting infected with HIV and ask the tough questions about costs and risks.

Why can’t people just wear condoms? How far would you go to protect yourself? Is it really safe?

Wednesday, June 15 at the Center on Halsted. Click for more info and to RSVP.

When talking about sex and gay men, the fear of danger, diseases and risk usually become the focus. Why does it have to be this way? Why not talk about the fantastic sex we do have? What about our friendships, our creativity and our communities?

After all, being gay is not just good, it’s fabulous!

To many people, gay sex automatically means penetration even though not all men are into the booty. What other things do we like to do? What turns us on and brings us pleasure?

Join us live from the Center on Halsted with a panel of experts psychologist Dr. Gary Harper, activist Keith Green and sex educator Samuel R. Galloway. Listen as we explore desire and ways we can be intimate, sensual and loving with each other.

On today’s special edition of Feast of Fun, we’re teaming up with Lifelube and Project Crysp in conjunction with the 2009 National LGBTI Health Summit to bring you Risky Business- a raw discussion with a live audience at the Center on Halsted on the sex and intimacy we crave and the risk we’re willing to take.

How do adult films with bareback sex affect our sexual desires and practices?

Are videos depicting sex without condoms a hot but safe way for viewers to find pleasure or is it a dangerous normalization of risk?

We have a panel of experts here to break down the ins-and-outs of condomless sex.

Tony Valenzuela, Writer and Activist whose work focuses on the politics of gay sex, subcultures and assets based perspectives. He’s known as AIDS activism’s most misunderstood man.

Mufasa Ali, Minister and Activist, as well as co-founder of ONYX, a leather group for men of color.

Dr. Braden Berkey, Clinical psychologist whose practice focuses on gay men, and the director of the Center on Halsted’s Sexual Orientation and Gender Institute.

Chuck Renslow, the founder of International Mr. Leather Conference and Convention, was in the audience to talk about why he recently banned bareback porn at IML and the future of the ban.

This is a frank talk about the kind of sex men have in real life and how they “seroadapt” or reduce sexual harm.

For many people, this is just the start of the conversation surrounding sex without condoms, it is not the final word. If you have any questions or insight, please leave a comment and keep the conversation going. Please be respectful and refrain from personal attacks, inflammatory remarks or general hysteria.
