Sex, pleasure and female condoms at the Women Deliver conference
Shock, curiosity and downright enthusiasm were among the reactions of attendees of the Women Deliver conference in London (18-20 October), where The Pleasure Project discussed the many ways to make safer sex great sex using the 'rings of pleasure' (aka female condoms).
From The Rub to The Bump to Show and Tell, we shared the secrets of pleasurable (safer) sex using this slippery, stimulating and safe little toy. With support from the Female Health Company, attendees received a free female condom, a postcard with sexy tips for using it, a peek at safer-sex clips from erotic films, and information about good sex for HIV-positive women.

The Pleasure Project at the XVI International AIDS Conference
At last year's AIDS conference in Toronto, The Pleasure Project hosted a sexy satellite session, skills-building seminar and other events - including showing clips from three erotic films. Our work was widely covered in the press, from national television in Canada, to radio in Colombia, to online news in India, and more. We also received enthusiastic responses from participants, like this:
"The Pleasure Project session was one of the few sessions at the conference where I really absorbed something that I could apply in my work."

Helping health educators talk about sex in Cambodia and Vietnam
In December 2004, CARE Cambodia invited The Pleasure Project to facilitate a three-day “pleasure proficiency” training for their sexual health educators, alongside CARE Cambodia’s experienced training staff.
CARE Cambodia is on the cutting edge of recognizing the need to integrate principles of pleasure into sexual and reproductive health training materials, and for their sexual health educators to be able to facilitate open, honest discussions about sex and sexuality.
We facilitated “Sex, Safer Sex and Pleasure” training by creating a safe space where the educators could talk openly about sex, sexuality, desire and pleasure. And we provided participants with tools for opening up honest and non-judgmental discussions about sex, pleasure and safer sex with their communities.

Safer (better) sex for stroke survivors
In October 2006, The Pleasure Project discussed the challenges of safer sex with a disability at “Sex, Life and Living”, organized by Different Strokes, a group set up by young stroke survivors. At the presentation, many survivors spoke about their family and friends assuming that they would no longer have sex after a stroke, and The Pleasure Project offered some sexy tips.
