In New York City, David Berkowitz and Michael Callen, under the medical direction of Joseph Sonnabend, publish 'How to Have Sex in an Epidemic — One Approach.' It is the one of the first safer-sex manifestos.The other that came out that year in San Francisco was 'Play Fair!' by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Sisters Florence Nightmare and Roz Erection wrote it with medical input of Bill Owen and Tom Waddell (The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, ND). Both are sex-positive guides for safer sex play.
