Hey dude, sex?

On 29 June and 30 June we want to talk to you live about sex, in the Phoenix Sauna in Essen and in Cologne

ICH WEISS WAS ICH TU! invites you to warm conversations about sex and pleasure at any age on 29 June in the Phoenix Sauna in Essen and on 30 June in the Phoenix Sauna in Cologne

The Phoenix sauna in Cologne

"Ey dude!" is one of the mottos of ICH WEISS WAS ICH TU for the CSD season. The campaign thus emphasises the life experience and self-confidence that exists among older gay men today, especially when it comes to HIV and AIDS. Our boys make it clear that most gay men protect themselves against HIV. And: There are different ways to deal with HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Respect for yourself and others is an important prerequisite for being able to talk openly about it.

That's exactly what we want to do live in the scene on 29 June and 30 June across all generations, in two places where men of all ages have sex and have to agree on what works and what doesn't, what's nice and what isn't and how safe the sex they want to have with each other should or must be. We'll be talking about hot topics in the warmth: on 29 June at 19:00 in the Phoenix Sauna in Essen and on 30 June in the Phoenix Sauna in Cologne.

On Wednesday, the IWWIT role models will discuss Wolfgang and the preventionists György (Berlin) and Wolfgang (Hamburg) together with Markus Willeke from the Essen AIDS service organisation and a young representative from Markus' prevention team on questions such as: Who has sex with whom at what age and why? How safe is it? Is everyone happy with it? What intergenerational measures are there to provide everyone with the information and tools they need for safe sex? Does it work and what should we change? The evening will be moderated by Thomas Schwarz from the IWWIT team. The best thing is that the findings can be implemented on site immediately afterwards!

On Thursday, IWWIT campaign manager Matthias Kuske discusses with role model Wolfgang from Koblenz, Thorsten from Munich, Butz from Cologne and preventionist Wolfgang from Hamburg, in the lounge area of Cologne's Phoenix Sauna, which, it has to be said, is the most beautiful in all of Cologne.

We wish you stimulating discussions and invite everyone to take part.

Dates: 29 June, from 7 pm, venue: Phoenix Sauna, Viehofer Str. 49, 45127 Essen and 30 June, from 7 pm to approx. 10 pm venue: Phoenix Sauna, Richard-Wagner-Str.12, 50674 Cologne
