Recently, my friend Jackie and I made rounds at a couple fraternities around the University of Texas at Austin campus to talk to the fraternity brothers about safe sex.
Our presentation began with a trivia game of local statistics about sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancies in Texas and at UT, most of our audience guessed wrong. They thought that STDs weren’t a big problem at UT and that most students used condoms. Unfortunately we know that nationally 1 in 4 teenage girls has had an STD and that only about half of UT students reported using a condom the last time they had sex. This got their attention pretty quick.
Next we gave a brief anatomy lesson (accompanied by giggles, hoots, and yelling from our audience), an introduction to the common STDs, and a list of local clinics in Austin that offer free testing and condoms.
Finally, time for the condom demonstration, our grand finale, what everyone had been waiting for! We took out the bananas and spread condoms across our table as the fraternity brothers whispered in giddy voices. I performed the actions, step by step, as Jackie narrated for me. I'll admit I was nervous and even embarrassed, especially since our audience was laughing and whistling at me, but I knew for most of these students, it was the first proper condom demonstration that had ever seen (hence the giggling).
Once we finished, we asked for volunteers and had them race to put condoms on bananas the fastest while still doing it correctly which was lots of fun and a good learning experience for them.
Before we left we passed out condoms and set up bowls of condoms around the fraternity house so that they would have a good supply of free condoms if they needed them
I highly recommend doing an activity like this with Greek organizations at your school. Not only was it was a ton of fun, but you also might be the first person to have an honest conversation about sex with them. Enjoy :)
