Image
LoveYourself Communications Loving oneself involves knowing where you stand. As an empowered individual, you can always say no to risky sexual behavior, such as going bareback or going raw. “Bareback” in the old days meant riding horses without a saddle. Nowadays, the term is more commonly used to refer to raw or unprotected anal intercourse. A common belief among men-having-sex-with-men (MSM) is that bareback sex brings extra pleasure, but it also poses the risk of acquiring a sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as HIV.

FOOD PORN: A Fresh Perspective on Safer Sex

Image
by Allen Yu  Don’t worry, no fruits or vegetables were harmed in the making of this video. FOOD PORN , the latest content offering from LoveYourself, is sure to cause a stir in the community: whether for its unconventional take on protection, its abuse of still life, or just that hot guy fondling the produce. Wear it. Wet it. Better safe when horny. Although conceptualized as a promotional video for condom-and-lubricant-use, LoveYourself is ditching the messaging strategies that have traditionally dominated the safer sex space, and pushing the envelope with its own innovative approach. This willingness to buck the trend shouldn't come as any surprise, given that LoveYourself has always had a track record of reinventing how HIV issues are advocated for, with viral hits like FLY LoveYourself: How to Have Sex and Avoid HIV  and the groundbreaking Project 'Indulge' . FOOD PORN isn't any different. Integrating lubricants into its core message contrasts noticeably with earlie...

Just all in a day’s advocacy work for the 32-year-old Cosmo bachelor and star of LoveYourself Food Porn , the outrageous new condom-and-lube-use campaign targeting Filipino men who have sex with men. In the food porn video, Victor represents the primal urge of sex that can offer mind-blowing pleasure but can also lure unwary men into unprotected anal intercourse. Delicious seducer Admittedly a very sexual man, Victor eased into the character of a delicious seducer. By simply picking up a longganisa and staring intently into the camera, he had our knees – and probably yours – wobbling. When the director asked Victor to turn up the heat, he grabbed the nearest banana, and felt the length of the phallic fruit along his cheek. Satisfied at how the banana feels against his scruffy jaw, Victor then looked at the banana longingly while lickin...
