An '''iconograph''' is a wonderful device that allows you to make "instantaneous paintings". In fact, an [[Imps|imp]] with brushes, pencils and a good eye for colours is put in a box, and when you push the button, you open a little window on the box and the imp draws ''really'' fast what it sees through the opening. [[Salamander]]s are used when more light is necessary for the imp to paint a good picture. All but the cheapest of today's iconographs can paint in colour.  
MSM stands for Men who have Sex with Men. This term refers to sexual activity between males, regardless of their sexual orientation or identification. MSMs are often discussed in the context of public health, particularly when it comes to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV prevention.


Imps have no imagination whatsoever, and as a result, paint very accurate pictures. They do whatever they are told so long as it is within the limits of their training, such as being able to "zoom" in and paint in very small detail, or even to paint the picture of a cart and its number if it exceeds the speed limit.

First introduced in [[Ankh-Morpork]] by the [[Agatean Empire|Agatean]] tourist [[Twoflower]] (in ''[[Book:The Colour of Magic|The Colour of Magic]]''), they are now very common, and are used in the [[Ankh-Morpork City Watch|Watch]] (''[[Book:Feet of Clay|Feet of Clay]]'' and ''[[Book:The Fifth Elephant|The Fifth Elephant]]'') or in [[Ankh-Morpork Times|newspapers]]. Very small imps, called nano-imps, are used in very small iconographs that can be kept in a pocket, a favorite tool of spying diplomats (see ''[[Book:The Fifth Elephant|The Fifth Elephant]]'').  
Communicate with your partner: Talk openly about your desires, boundaries, and health status. It's essential to be honest and respectful of each other's needs.


A multi-imp variation had been used in the [[Century of the Fruitbat|moving pictures]] industry (see ''[[Book:Moving Pictures|Moving Pictures]]''). Another recent adaption is using three imps with different coloured goggles to achieve coloured printing. A [[Otto Chriek|vampire]] slightly well-known in Ankh-Morpork was experimenting with the use of dark light from [[Überwaldean land eels]], but no progress has been reported (see ''[[Book:The Truth|The Truth]]'').  
Use protection: Condoms are an effective method of preventing the transmission of STIs, including HIV. Use a new condom for each sexual encounter, and make sure to put it on correctly.


Theoretically the lifespan of the imp is endless, but the imps of the cheaper iconographs seem to disappear rather quickly. Independently of this, the painting colours used by the imp have to be refilled as they are used up, and the imps themselves require regular feeding, though they seem to be able to survive without any form of sustenance for several weeks.
Practice safer sex: In addition to using condoms, consider other forms of protection such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) if you're not in a monogamous relationship.
