ANAL SEX - lubricant survey hits 2000 +


WOO HOO! Okay kids ---- we have now reached over 2000 participants in our "little anal sexy survey that could" with 73 countries represented so far. Have you taken a few moments to fill it out yet? It's completely anonymous, and who doesn't want to spill on their lubricant preferences for the ANAL SEXY?

WHY? Right now, lubricants do not need to be tested for safety before being sold. Research coming out in the next year --- pay attention to LifeLube.org for info --- will show that some lubes commonly used for anal sex are not as safe as others. By filling out the short survey, you will help scientists prioritize the next round of lubes that should be tested. You will also be helping rectal microbicide researchers understand lubricant preferences that will be critical when creating a product that will not only protect against HIV but will be DESIRABLE. After all, we want a rectal microbicide that is safe, effective and FUN TO USE.

HOW? On the homepage of LifeLube there are links to the survey in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Turkish with other languages possibly added soon, including Hindi and Tamil: check back regularly and forward to cute boys across our borders and beyond both ponds!

WHO IS DOING THIS SURVEY? The International Rectal Microbicides Working Group is a group of community advocates and researchers (nearly 400) from 35 countries who are working to increase options for the prevention of HIV and sexually transmitted infections for the men and women around the world who have anal sex.

Please complete the survey today! Post a link on your web site! Forward this message to listservs!
