Down an’ Dirty website launch

The SAM Project is a joint effort between Victorian AIDS Council/GMHC, People living with HIV Victoria and the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society. It is supposed to be driven, guided and delivered by sexually adventurous men (SAM) for sexually adventurous men.
The concept of sexually adventurous men changes depending on who you are talking to. For us, in the project, sexually adventurous men are guys with a high understanding of HIV and sexual health in general, multiple sexual partners, involved in esoteric sex, including but not limited to watersports, bondage and discipline, sadomasochism, fisting, arse play, scat, etc. Many sexually adventurous men have a history of recreational drug use and sometimes engage in unprotected sex.
Thursday, October 20 will mark the launch of Down an’ Dirty, an initiative of the SAM Project, that brings together the SAM community. There will be a few Down an’ Dirty surprises and you will be able to talk to the guys who developed the site.
This launch comes at the end of a lengthy process of community consultation and engagement with all partners. The site will allow visitors to:
- Find information about sexual practices, recreational drug use and safety.
- View questions asked by others and ask sex experts and medical practitioners the questions you’ve always wanted to about sex and sexual health.
- Have your say on how we can make it an even better resource.
It will all start at 9pm on Thursday October 20 at The Laird where we’ll be demonstrating how downandirty.org works; then you can head into “Spit and Polish” where strict dress code applies. On Friday October 21 at 9pm, we will be joining the Sircuit family for the amazing “Jack in the box” and finally on Saturday October 22, you will find us at the computer lounge at Club 80 from 10pm. Come along to one or all of these nights, check it out and let us know what you think.
