No Glove, No Love? Not Your Mother's Safer Sex Workshop
How can one make sense of a world that tells us sex is one of the most wonderful things about being alive -- and that it can kill us? In high school and college, some students got plenty of practice putting condoms on bananas, while others never got any safer sex education at all. Many people give lip service (pun fully intended) to using condoms and dental dams for oral sex, yet it seems few people actually use them. Are they making a mistake? Are there other ways of reducing your risk for HIV and STIs besides using barriers? We'll cover the basics of safe sex supplies for all kinds of sex, and then go beyond that to tackle our culture's conflicting messages and provide options for real life. People of all sexual orientations are welcome.

Educating the Educators: Safer Sex Training for Peer Sex Educators
Peer educator programs are increasingly popular part of college health education programs , since student educators have access to other students in dorm rooms, classroom hallways, and parties, during key decision-making conversations and at vulnerable interpersonal moments. This training session, popular among students and professionals alike, is designed to arm students with the information, skills, and attitudes they need, given the realities of limited training time. Attendees will be led through engaging, thought-provoking exercises that review the basics of safe sex supplies, evaluate competing educational approaches to preventing STI and HIV transmission, explore why students might have unsafe sex even when they "know better," and introduce practical ways to use the concepts of harm reduction and risk management in real life situations with students of all sexual orientations.

Check out these popular safer sex brochures we co-wrote with a team of community educators:

- Women are most likely to feel horny when they are fertile (it's our bodies' attempt to trick us into getting pregnant).
- It takes a sperm one hour to swim seven inches.
- Condom experts recommend that men "test-drive" different condom brands to figure out which ones are most comfortable and pleasurable for their body.
- You can insert a female condom up to 8 hours before you have sex.
- 4% of college students say they never have safe sex.
- Studies show that high school students who are taught about condoms do not start having sex earlier than high school students who are taught only abstinence. But the ones who are taught about condoms are more likely to use condoms when they do start having sex.
