From man to man     

Are you a guy who has sex with other guys?

For some time now, more men are contracting HIV and other sexually-transmitted infections while having sex with other men. Even younger guys! The risk of contracting HIV is ten times higher during sex between men than it is in sex between a man and a woman.

This brochure shows you how to play safe. No matter what the situation.

Instant gratification?

Anonymous sex and instant gratification? Sometimes there’s no need for words. So each partner has to know how to protect himself. Take responsibility for yourself.

Time and again

Having sex with guys you have known for a long time? Trust can sometimes be misplaced, and assumptions can be wrong. Even if a past HIV test turned out to be negative, that doesn’t mean it is still true today. Talk to your partners about how to protect yourselves.

For ever and ever

Met the love of your life? Being in love can make talking about unpleasant stuff or safer sex a little more difficult. Get some support – you could go to Checkpoint.

In a long-term relationship? Happiness and security depend on the expectations you had and keeping promises you once made. Do they still hold? Talk about it. And keep talking.

You don’t know your partner’s HIV status?

Safer sex is your best protection!

two things to remember

==>  Always use a condom for fucking

==>  No come in the mouth when sucking

This is true for anonymous sex, for fuck buddies or for sex with your husband-to-be.

==>  Pick a condom that’s the right size. That way, it won’t break or slip off. You can check your size on www.mysize.ch.

==>  Only use water- or silicon-based lube. Don’t use oil, Vaseline etc. as these will damage the condom.

==>  If you do get sperm in your mouth then spit it right out! If possible, rinse your mouth with a strong liquor like whiskey or cognac or just plain water and spit that out, too.

Problems with condoms?

== You can’t get hard or you lose your hard-on when you put on a condom?

== Your partner doesn’t want to use a condom?

You aren’t the only one with these problems.

Go talk about it at Checkpoint or one of the local AIDS-service organisations.
