AIDS in Amsterdam

Here’s an intimate tour of Club Church, the infamous Amsterdam gay sex club

Amsterdam has a reputation as a welcoming home to all manner of sexual tastes, so during daring Queerty Contributor Mark S. King‘s visit there for AIDS2018, he could not resist paying a visit to the city’s most infamous gay sex venue, Club Church, for a personal tour of most every dark nook and cranny – yes, right here in my new video report. And a really candid conversation with manager Anne Rodermond.

Anne’s point of view will either have you applauding him for being sex positive or gasping in concerned indignation. He doesn’t shy away from discussing the preferences of his customers and his role as the club manager.

Meanwhile, in a separate new video report, “Amsterdam Kinkster” Chris Vincent stops by the club to explain to Mark how his new-found love of leather and fetish sex has actually provided him more safety from HIV. As it turns out, our largest sexual organ is, in fact, between our ears.

Coming up: Mark visits the gay sauna to discuss a spirited community campaign to rid Amsterdam of Hepatitis C, and then tours the colorful Global Village of AIDS2018.
