The pleasure of baring it all for a cause
Bali, the “island of the gods”, an indulgent pleasurable place of realization and enlightenment. To me, Bali will be all that and more. To me, Bali is my place of liberation and re-discovered passion. Ever since I came back from the International Conference on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific (ICAAP9) held in Bali last […]
More InfoMasturbation Education
We at The Pleasure Project would like to congratulate Extremadura region in Spain for a truly brilliant, rational and imminently sensible education programme to improve self pleasuring in the region. Masturbation is safe, makes you feel good – and lets you know what you like – also everyone does it or at last thinks about […]
More InfoA Pleasurably Bad Bad Boy
Annie Philpott and I have what can probably be termed as “every safe sex activist’s ultimate fantasy”. This fantasy is of a hot, delectable specimen of a man subtlety promoting condoms, insinuating the pleasure that they bring. During a conversation we had on this topic, the man who came to mind was George Clooney, Hollywood’s […]
More InfoEnter through the back door, please

More InfoFood, Safe Sex and Pleasure in Bangkok
When it comes to safe sex, I like to put my money where my mouth is. Cabbages and Condoms in Bangkok is one restaurant that apparently likes to do the same. I had read about Cabbages and Condoms and their innovative concept of a restaurant that promotes good food, safe sex and responsible family planning […]
More InfoLive from the SSSS: Sexual Pleasure as a Positive Right
This week, I’m attending the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality’s annual meeting in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Aside from being a beautiful place where the balmy ocean breezes are caressing my skin even as I type (and the sounds of Mexican karaoke are assailing my ears), it is home this week to a gathering […]
More InfoThe Courtly Pleasures of Safer Sex
What is your deepest, most secret sexual fantasy? Is it to have super mutant powers like the X-Men? Or is it be a quirky spy like Austin Powers who always had enough mojo for a shag? May be you’re the type to whom power is an aphrodisiac? Or the amorous kind who falls to their […]
