More Than Sex is a guide about queer sex, diverse bodies, health and our communities. It shares information to help navigate a queer world, learn about different kinds of sex, explore sexual health and pleasure, and start conversations about some of the forces and experiences that shape our lives as queer people.

More Than Sex is made available online so it can be accessed by anyone across BC and beyond. And HIM invites local community organizations, groups and individuals to share and promote this guide among the queer communities they serve.

Below are a number of open license graphics for social media and print along with some messages to help communicate about the different sections of More Than Sex.
