520 |a "For a generation of gay men who came of age in the 1980s and 1990s, becoming sexually active meant confronting the dangers of catching and transmitting HIV. In the 21st century, however, the development of viral suppression treatments and preventative pills such as PrEP and nPEP has massively reduced the risk of acquiring HIV. Yet some of the stigma around gay male promiscuity and bareback sex has remained, inhibiting open dialogues about sexual desire, risk, and pleasure. A Pill for Promiscuity brings together academics, artists, and activists-from different generations, countries, ethnic backgrounds, and HIV statuses-to reflect on how gay sex has changed in a post-PrEP era. Some offer personal perspectives on the value of promiscuity and the sexual communities it fosters, while others critique unequal access to PrEP and the increased role Big Pharma now plays in gay life. With a diverse group of contributors that includes novelist Andrew Holleran, trans scholar Lore/tta LeMaster, cartoonist Steve MacIsaac, and pornographic film director Mister Pam, this book asks provocative questions about how we might reimagine queer sex and sexuality in the 21st century.

520 |a "For many, gay men are synonymous with promiscuity - associated with orgies, anonymous sex, bathhouses, fetish and kink, and recreational party drugs. Gay men are watched by police and public health institutions. There are commercial industries built around gay desire like porn and apps. For three decades, the gay community has promoted "safer sex" in order to prevent the transmission or acquisition of HIV. Often this "safer sex" meant to use a condom for every sex act with a man. The focus on condom use closed off discussions of oral sex, frottage, bondage, fisting, or other activities that did not require a condom to prevent the transmission or acquisition of HIV. Advances in HIV science have rapidly expanded this picture. Viral suppression and the usage of nPEP and PrEP are all highly effective. Using any of these technologies correctly will reduce the possibility of transmission or acquisition to near zero. A Pill for Promiscuity is a collection of academics, artists, and activists concerned with gay sex today in an age when medications can disrupt HIV transmission or acquisition"--  |c Provided by publisher.
