The Experience Weekend is a two-and-ahalf day participatory workshop that attempts to help men and women take a closer look at their behavior patterns, emotions and habits in order to more easily make decisions that help improve their quality of life.

"I love you. Would I give you an infection?"

"Just this once.

"1

"I don't have rubber with me."

"You carry a condom around with you? You were planning to seduce me.

"

"I won't have sex with you if you're going to use a condom."

“Rubbers are boring!”

YOU REPLY...

"I didn't say that. I care about us both and about our relationship. In my opinion, it's best to use a condom." "Not intentionally, of course. But many people don't know they're infected. I feel this is best for both of us at this time. "Once is all it takes."

"I do."

"I always carry condoms with me, because I care about myself. I made sure I had some with me tonight because I care about us both."

"Let's put it off then, until we can work out our differences." OR "Okay, we won't!"

"Wait until you see and feel what we can do to each other erotically and safely."
