So I received my box of condoms, and I got happy feet the second I ripped it open and saw the glorious sea of gold!
I’ve had my safesite sticker up on my door, and students are actually pretty responsive to it. I knew that I didn't want to be boring with this, and I didn't want to just have condoms in my room when people needed them...I wanted to make it known that safe sex is the way to go if you are going to have sex.
Word got out that there were free condoms on campus, and I have been so busy with condom requests it is crazy! I have made these mini pamphlets about Amplify and GACC so that the word gets out there. I also have attached some basic information about safe sex, and the struggle schools are facing with the lack of sex education.
I'm really close with my mom and I said one day jokingly, "I am going to make a condom suit!!!" We laughed about for a couple minutes but then I really wanted to make one.
SO......I DID!!!!!
My goal was to be known at school as a safesite, and I have accomplished that goal. I also have talked to several high school students to see where they stand on sex education, and college and growing up in the world, but I needed to venture out more...
I found two large pieces of square cardboard and I painted them gold yellow just like the Trojan wrapper. I painted the cardboard just like the wrapper so that I was a living condom. I stood in front of the state house in Concord, NH and passed out condoms to senators, and several congress men and women. It was nice being able to talk directly to the folks who bring make things happen in our government, and I wanted to leave a lasting impression. I did get a few weird eyes. I did get several honks. Overall it was very successful! I passed out over 250 condoms in one day.
And I had fun doing it!
How many other times in my life am I going to be able to be a life size condom?
I have photos on the way!!!
