DESCRIPTION:Join editor\, Andrew Spieldenner\, in conversation with contributors Justice Jamal Jones and Ted Kerr\, for the launch of the recently released book A Pill for Promiscuity – Gay Sex in an Age of Pharmaceuticals (Rutgers University Press 2023)\, which brings together artists\, academics\, and artists from various disciplines to reflect on how gay sex has altered in a post-PrEP era. \nRegister to Attend: https://gaycenter.org/a-pill-for-promiscuity/ \nPlease note that February 2023’s Second Tuesday will be taking place on a Saturday. To request an accommodation for this event\, please contact Richard Morales at rmorales@gaycenter.org or 646.502.6370 by February 10\, 2023. \nABOUT A PILL FOR PROMISCUITY – GAY SEX IN AN AGE OF PHARMACEUTICALS \nA 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. \nThe Bureau will be on hand at the event to sell copies of A Pill for Promiscuity  (Rutgers University Press\, 2023\, paperback\, $16.95). We encourage you to reserve a copy of the book if you plan on purchasing it. Please write to us at contact@bgsqd.com with “please reserve a copy of A Pill for Promiscuity” in the subject line. \nThank you for supporting the Bureau by purchasing books from us! \n  \nABOUT THE EDITORS \nAndrew Spieldenner is the Executive Director of MPact: Global Action for Gay Rights and associate professor of communication at California State University San Marcos.
