Suck it and See! poster for discussion of using flavoured condoms for oral sex at positive Gay Men's SpaceIt's official, you can now have 'vanilla' sex! Well, you can if you decide to use one of the many flavoured condoms that are available on the market. But what do flavoured condoms actually taste like? Do guys really want to even consider them for oral sex?
 

These questions and many more will be answered at Suck it and See! - a flavoured condom tasting session at the Gay Men's Space (Steady now! we'll only be using bananas).

The tasting session will be followed by a discussion about using flavoured condoms for oral sex, and more generally about sex and risk reduction.
 

Suck It and See!  Monday 8th November 

at 6:30pm

at the Gay Men's Space.

The Gay Men's Space is for gay and bi men living with HIV. It is every Monday evening between 5pm and 8pm. If you have not used George House Trust services before please call Dunkan on 0161 274 4499 or email him.
