Description: This collection 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, critique the role Big Pharma now plays in queer life, and argue for the value of sexual community, promiscuity, and pleasure.

Review Quotes: "The arrival of PrEP and biomedical prevention helped rescue a public centering of gay men's desire, pleasure and sex that was becoming marginalized in the fight for same sex marriage. By returning to the all-but-abandoned anthology as a necessary strategy of critical queer community dialogue, A Pill for Promiscuity: Gay Sex in the Age of Pharmaceuticals offers a compelling collection of voices on the complicated cultural and political dynamics of sex in the era of PrEP. "--Kenyon Farrow "Managing Director of Advocacy & Organizing for PrEP4All" (10/12/2022 12:00:00 AM)
