1. Gaytrucker.com deals with things of a more, ahem, adult nature. Need cock rings? Got ’em. Need a new glory hole video? Got ’em. Need head cleaner? (For your videos, of course …) Got ’em? You can also check out the message board and add your two cents…and of course you can post your own ad, because that’s what you want to do, isn’t it? Just remember: you have to be 18 to enter the site. 2. There’ll be a sea of dykes at Wiminfest in Albuquerque, New Mexico from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2. (Have you ever noticed that festivals never seem to be anywhere with cool temperatures? Just once, I’d like to see a fest in Juneau, Alaska.) Anywho, hop on over to Wiminfest.org to get the specifics. Find out exactly what the celebration is all about, get tickets, read about the performers (including Sister Funk), and chat with others who plan on going.

3. The Body (www.thebody.com) is the definitive AIDS/HIV database…and it’s updated daily. It would literally take you months to get through all the items at this site. You can read everything from AIDS basics to who gets it to pregnancy/pediatry issues. Furthermore, Ask the Experts lets you post questions regarding everything from viral loads to drug resistance to insurance. And if THAT’S not enough, there are news items (“New HIV ‘Superbug’ Emerges in Vancouver”) and a survey.
