Last week we posted news on our facebook fan page and twitter about the amazing news that The Gates Foundation have issued a GRAND challenge to build a better condom.
WE LOVE IT ! At last after all these years of pleasure propaganda it seems to be paying off. Good Safe Sex is now a subject to be taken seriously by event the Grand Bill Gates and his Foundation.
When we launched The Pleasure Project at at the 2004 AIDS conference in Bangkok, we seemed to be viewed as a mixture of sublime and ridiculous. Some people though it a good idea if a little wacky, others downright dangerous to be stating the obvious.That..
People have sex for PLEASURE.
And that HIV prevention and family planning promoters need to also think about PLEASURE and safer sex.
Over the following 8 years we were the AIDS Conference infidels urging people to attend sessions called “Pleasure and Safer Sex: Coming together at last” or asking them to send in their fantasies of life at a conference or even ……play with themselves at night time. Urging people who promote HIV prevention to also recognise that sex can be good.
And it finally seems to be paying off last year many listened to our pleasure propaganda including national US radio and the Huffington Post.
So we do say “Hurrah!” to the Gates Grand Challenge – but with some trepidation – as the call asks for only ‘product changing’ proposals. This is not just a techno fix…We know that the biggest sexual organ is the brain. …
That is a vibrating cock ring feels sexy, why can’t the ring of a female condom ?
Or if a tight fitting latex dress is hot ? Why can’t the slow roll of a condom down a dick feel the same way ?
Latex dresses and condom dresses….
Isn’t good safe sex is just a state of mind…..
