Notes

Description

A color photograph shows a man dressed in a suit and tie seated behind a desk in an office, surrounded by shelves full of books. His closed right hand is raised with thumb pointing up in a "thumbs up" sign; on his thumb is a condom. The word "ohne" (without) is next to the condom. The man is probably in his thirties, wears glasses, and has a professional desk job, perhaps as an archivist, lawyer or accountant. The message is that a mature, well-educated professional gay man will not have sex unless condoms are used for protection.
