Besser allein ... Niemand ist gern einsam. Zum Zusammensein gehören Unabhängigkeit, Freiheit, Klarheit über eigene Ansprüche und Wünsche. Drum nimm dein Leben in die eigenen Hände. Du bist verantwortlich - nicht nur beim Sex. Sei du selbst, ohne faule Kompromisse. Für dich und deine Partner. Für deine Spass, die Liebe und das Leben mit anderen. Deutsche AIDS-Hilfe e.V. Fotos: Ingo Taubhorn. Grafik: Mudra. Bears logo: Deutsche AIDS-Hilfe e.V. Translation of text: Better alone ... Nobody likes to be lonely. To togetherness include independence, freedom, clarity about their own demands and desires. So take your life into their own hands. You are responsible - not for just having sex. Be yourself, no rotten compromises. For you and your partner. For your fun, love and life with others Descriptions of men include from top left: Daniel (24): _Keine Bezeihung um jeden Preis, ich habe meine Ansprüche. Man kann auch zu zweit einsam sein. Bevor ich mich kaputtmachen lasse, bleib ich lieber Single. ["No relationship at any price, I have my rights. You can also be lonely in a twosome ... I'd rather stay single"] to top right: Hans Friedrich (59): _Ich lebe und liebe meine Freiheit, aber in Verantwortung gegenuber meinen Freunden, Callboys und Parntern! Freiheit ohne Verantwortung - das ist für mich Zügellosigkeit. ["I live and love my freedom, but in responsibility compared to my friends, callboys and Partner! Freedom without responsibility - that's for me unaccountability"]
