World AIDS Day is on December 1st, and raises money for charities across the world helping to battle the disease.

As with last year – where £16,000 was raised – the money will go to the Mercury Phoenix Trust who use Freddie Mercury’s name to spread awareness and education of the disease, particularly in the developing world.

Recon has set a target of £20,000 this year and anyone who donates will receive a virtual red ribbon that will appear on their profile until December 31st.

Recon is a site for gay, bi and curious men into “fetish, leather, rubber and kink.”
