Description

Two muscular young men, clad only in undershorts and shorts, are enjoying a picnic in a grain field. In the foreground, one man lies on his back on a blanket, shorts open in front and pulled down to reveal his undershorts. He holds hands and looks fondly into the face of his lover, who is sitting up next to him, dressed only in undershorts. Their eyes display love for each other. An open picnic basket sits nearby, and one can see some bread, some wine, some watermelon, and some red condoms. The scene is one of idyllic pleasure, and also of safety and security.
Part of "Stop AIDS" campaign.
