Volume 14, Issue 28 , November 2006, Pages 23-31

This article summarises some findings from the Global Mapping of Pleasure, a document created by the Pleasure Project to identify projects and organisations worldwide that promote pleasure alongside safer sex messaging.

The techniques they use include promoting sexual techniques and dialogue about sex, teaching married couples how to have better sex and putting images of desire in sexual education materials. This paper focuses on ways of eroticising female and male condoms as examples of effective ways of using pleasure in HIV prevention and sexual health promotion.
