Reviews
""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 * ""A Pill for Promiscuity is a necessary collection, in a time where pharmaceutical culture and public health are too often narrating proper ideas of sexual practice and sexual intimacy. This volume speaks back to these problematic frames, through a rich offering of diverse voices from multiple genres of writing, which explore the complexity of sexual life in eras of disease."" -- Jeffrey McCune * author of Sexual Discretion: Black Masculinity and the Polities of Passing *
