How to Have Sex in an Epidemic: One Approach
HIV/AIDS, Safer Sex, Sex Practices
"The question on every sexually active gay man's mind these days is: "How can I avoid AIDS?' Since no one knows for sure how gay men are developing AIDS, you may wonder how rational guidelines to prevent the disease can be formulated. Obviously, we believe that such guidelines can be formulated, but it is important to bearm mind that the guidelines offered in this pamphlet are based on the particular theory regarding the cause of AIDS to which we subscribe. This means that we will have to briefly discuss the different theories about how AIDS develops in gay men."

Just Say Yes
Safer Sex, Respect, STIs, Birth Control, Abortion
"There are lots of safe and fun ways to get off, which you probably wonʼt learn in school. You can do many of these things all by yourself as well as with others, and you can talk about them even if you donʼt want to do them. Donʼt feel like you have to do everything on the next page, but donʼt feel like anything is automatically off limits either. The important thing is that everyone involved clearly says what they want and
can make it stop when they want."

Play Fair!
STIs, Safer Sex, Self Care
"Several Months Ago, Mother Superior noticed a lot of sniffing, coughing, grimacing, twitching, scratching, and farting around the convent. Several of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were complaining about itchy pussies, burning buttholes, sore balls, swollen glands, discharges, scratchy throats, rashes, cramps, lumps, and tingling between their legs. Besides hiring a resident Roto-Rooter specialist and replacing the hinges on the bathroom doors weekly, the convent’s consumption of toilet paper, aspirin, Band-Aids, and air freshener grew so much that Mother Superior was forced to ask the Pope for a larger slush fund
just to keep the order afloat. Embarrassed by such outrageous expenses and alarmed by the illness—
and in some cases the downright collapse—of the Sisters, Mother Superior made it her business to get to the bottom of this unhappy situation on the very morning she found a crab walking up her leg. What she discovered might gross you out, but these findings may prove useful in preventing or eliminating similar situations in your life. It seems that the Sisters were suffering from numerous Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, scabies, intestinal parasites, hepatitis, warts, and HIV (not to mention the deadly guilt) are all rising at an alarming rate in our world. WE give these diseases to ourselves. WE can do something to stop this. Self-Care is the purpose behind this pamphlet. Please read it and share it with your friends. If everyone makes an effort towards Self-Care, we will all be better off. Not to mention we can have a much better time."

Pozitively Healthy: A Gay Man's Guide to Sex and Health in Ontario
HIV, Safer Sex
"This guide was developed and written by gay men living with HIV. We wrote it for gay men living with HIV whether you are a long-term survivor or have been diagnosed with HIV more recently. We talked with many gay men living with HIV, including guys from Ontario’s diverse ethnoracial communities, urban and rural guys, working guys and guys on disability assistance and young and older guys. Unfortunately we were not able to speak with gay or queer transmen living with HIV, even though these guys are part of the gay community."

Trans Sexuality: A Safe Sex Guide for Trans People and Their Partners
Trans bodies, Safer Sex, Disclosure
"Often times, sex educators prefer to use 'standard' language for our bodies (penis, vagina, etc). It’s true that using one set of words means people will be more likely to understand everything, however, doing so can feel invalidating for trans people who don’t identify their bodies with those terms. Additionally, it feeds the myth that trans people's bodies work the same as cis people’s bodies and that’s not true. What works for a cis man’s genitals won’t necessarily work for a trans woman without surgery or a trans man who’s had surgery, what works for a cis woman’s genitals won’t necessarily work for a trans man without surgery or a trans woman who’s had surgery."

Safer Sex for Trans Bodies
Safer Sex, Trans* people
"This is a safer sex guide for transgender and gender expansive people, and for our partners and lovers. When it comes to sex, there’s a serious lack of resources available to trans people that talk about our bodies and our needs in a relatable and respectful way. We decided to make a guide, specifically for trans and gender expansive people, that helps answer questions about safer sex. This guide isn’t all about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and condoms—inside, you’ll find information about sex during and after transition, ways to talk to your partner(s) (romantic, casual and transactional) about sex and suggestions for exploring your own sexuality, whether you have many partners, one partner, or you’re going solo."

Women Lovin'
HIV, Sex, Hepatitis, Sexual Assault
"Women lovin’ women are a diverse group. We are of different ages and come from different places. Some of us
are poor and some of us are rich. Some of us are trans and some of us are cis*. Some of us smoke, some of us use drugs, some of us are vegan and some of us love our red meat. Some of us only sleep with women and some of us are also into bois, trans guys and dudes. We might have a single partner at a time or we might see multiple people. We might call ourselves queer, femme, butch, lesbian, bisexual, trans, pansexual or genderqueer. We might reject labels because labels can be tricky for some of us and mean different things to different people."

BRAZEN: Trans Women's Safer Sex Guide
Hepatitis C, HIV, Safer Sex and Sexual Health, Trans People
This is a guide that was created by The 519 Church Street Community Centre, an agency in Toronto devoted to the health and wellbeing of the LGBTQ community. The guide covers sex work, harm reduction, STIs, and other topics in relation to the lives and experiences of trans women.
Under the "describe me" header the guide reads, "Talking about identities! This guide is for trans women and their sex partners! When we use the term trans women in this guide, we’re talking about people who identify on some level as any of the following: woman/womyn/girl/female/feminine/femme but were assigned male at birth. Though we’ll be focusing on trans women, this guide will also mention people who identify on some level as any of the following: man/boy/boi/male/masculine/butch/stud but were assigned female at birth. We’ll use trans guys to talk about them."
