What’s the HOLE point of this campaign? In order to keep me free from STD I need to have 800 on my math SAT score?
I like it, it shifts sex away from the guilt paradigm and encourages people to make individually safe choices. We’re a diverse community, and safe sex is a different reality for each and every one of us.
How much does Chace Crawford come into the equation?
Six million adult websites
one iPad
one bottle of lube
– Priceless.
Are they selling sex awareness or Mastercards?
“12 years together + 1 Open Relationship + 2 cats + 1 new garden boy” Why are the cats part of this formula? Do I want to know?
lol, I thought the same thing about the cats!! Then I figured it must be one of those trick questions where they give you too much info to solve the equation. I always sucked at taking math tests.

Have we really only had 390 male guests?
I guess more, maybe 500?
Stupid campaign!
Use the calculator-

The calculator is ridiculous.
i think its smart to take a different approach to HIV-prevention campaigns other than fear, but this particular campaign is rather confusing. people need to be educated about risk factors and then be allowed to make their own decisions. for one, if you are in a committed, monogamous relationship where you both know each other’s status, bareback can be a very intimate, hot and low risk. Meanwhile, bottoms are at greater risk than tops, and pulling out before cumming also makings bareback less risky. Of course, bareback is never completely safe at preventing HIV or STDs, but gay people should be treated as adults who know the consequences of unprotected sex, in the same way as with smoking or drinking, and are able to make choices as to how they wish to live their lives.
after looking at the risk “calculator” it seems kind of stupid to not take into account the hoards of other STDs one can get.
