(Betcha clicked it just because you’re curious, didn’t you? ;)

There’s a problem in my county. Actually, it’s everywhere, I’m just in the middle of this one. ABSTINENCE ONLY EDUCATION. The reason this is a problem is because we can’t go to our school nurse (who is being laid off this year) to get condoms or information about ANY STD or protection. A person only has to walk into this school for a second to see it isn’t working out. Instead of “abstaining”, there are tons of pregnant teens around. Last school year, I counted 53 (out of a 1000 body school), and 27 of those were freshmen. Sure, it doesn’t sound like much, but that is ONE PREGNANT TEEN for every classroom.

Not only is teen pregnancy a problem here, but so are STD’s. Kids are afraid to go out and buy things because their parents would find out – they don’t want to ask for them. They don’t know where to get the stuff they need to be safe, or they don’t have the resources to get them so they just go without protection.

So what I’m asking is if anyone I trade with has a few (heck, even just one!) of the following items, please toss it into the package before you send. I’m going to be making and distributing “Safe Sex Kits” to the ladies at my school in cute little discreet clutches. If the resources are there, there is no reason not to use them.

male condoms – I have some, but I’d like to get a little variety for each clutch.
female condoms
moist towelettes or baby wipes in a ziplock – like the ones from restaurants, just to make things convenient
flavored or unflavored lube packets
pregnancy tests
dental dams
latex gloves/finger cots

Every clutch will come with a print out of information – condom directions, pregnancy test directions, info about the HPV vaccination, health department number and what it offers them, STD reference chart, a list of all of the scary things you can get from unprotected sex, and information about date rape and abuse.

What do you think?

That’s a very nice thing you’re doing. But quite frankly I clicked this thread expecting to see this photo:

Needless to say, I’m conclusively disappointed in you.

Haha! I was expecting someone to put that up. Go figure, it was you! =P

More people having safe sex means more people having the freedom to say “Hey, want to have sex in a safe fashion? Hmm??”

I mean, am I right or am I right?

Haha. “Sex in a safe fashion” sounds so much more proper than “Let’s do it doggie style.”

I thought it meant that before engaging, one should: check the stability of the balcony railing, ensure the parking brake is on, install anti-skid pads under area rugs, and/or verify the age of the cute guy/girl that swears he/she only looks young.

Yeah well that’s another accomplishment you can attribute to our awesome Commander-in-Chief…. A few years ago he signed a bill “donating” millions of dollars to abstinence-only education… Anyway, there’s this mocumentary-ish movie I saw just a few days ago during my “vacation” that you might find inspiring… It’s called “Kids in America” and it’s based on real events…

PS Miss Rebecca, that’s very commendable of you… Kudos…

Jenny, there are forms online for things like that – it’s a “sex agreement”. It’s set up like a legal document. =P

I’ll check that out I’ve seen one in Sociology a few years ago about a little place in Texas my instructor happened to be from, is that it?

Interlachen, Florida

Forms that verify consensual sex? Man, this country sure is making leaps and bounds as a society. To think, only a few years ago, we would’ve had to ask a someone in person. Now we can just e-mail them the form! Lots of win here.

(blink) (blink) Wha??? I think I’m getting too old…

LMAO! It’s funny – my friend would jokingly keep one in his pocket and let it “fall out” when he was around any girl he was mildly interested in.

Lucky for me there are no STDs in The Shire. It’s all those whores from Gondor that you’ve gotta be careful with.
