AIDS Ads, Part 6
This is the last part in our survey of ads responding to the AIDS epidemic. This ad provides good advice, but the photo doesn't really show anything.
Likewise, this photo is G-rated, even if the wording isn't.
Another G-rated photo in this ad, which ran before the 2008 EuroGames in Barcelona, Spain. Surprisingly, the ad, put out by BCN Checkpoint, an organization in Barcelona, is in English, probably to reach foreign visitors to the games.
This Brazilian ad shows just a bit of butt. The headline says "Sex, pleasure & men."

This ad shows a bit more butt ...

as does this German ad by the Hot Rubber company, which sells condoms and lube. The title says "Give him joy."

Another ad by the Hot Rubber company. The ad says "Three things that belong together. Second: the Hot Rubber. Third: the Hot Rubber lubricant." What's the first thing? Obviously, the naked man.

This ad by Deutsche AIDS Hilfe, a German organization, says "Would you like sex? (be) safe!" Note that his hand isn't quite covering everything – the tip of his penis is showing.

Another Hot Rubber ad. This one shows a bit of dick and says "Hot Rubber. Everything for the one."

We end with this ad in Spanish from the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, getting as close to showing sex as we're going to get today. The wording says "Anywhere, at any time ... with a condom." Good advice.

well done!
Even with PrEP, use condoms!!!! PrEP will not stop other STIs - which can be just as dangerous if not caught.
Excellent post!
My uncle taught me and my cousins using a banana, we had to practice one at a time showing it to the others, I don't think anyone teaches young people that way. I was the youngest cousin, and the one who learned first!
Good to see the ads from
Around the world and how they differed from the ones in the US (once we had them).
