It is holiday time and while everyone is frantically shopping for gifts, students know what to expect from me for Christmas. Along with Holiday cards, or in tiny gift bags I have delivered "Christmas Condoms". While the students know that these condoms are not a "generous gift from me" it is another discrete way to pass out condoms to shy students, and to provide safer sex information.

Happy Holidays

It has become well known that I am a SafeSite and that I am not affraid to ask someone if they need/would like condoms. Often, when we are out for coffee, at a meeting or event,  I will randomly ask the group if anyone needs condoms. Usually many people will raise their hand and I will pass around a container filled with condoms and tellt hem to take what they need. After this, I announce that if anyone needs condoms in the future, or is uncomfortable discussing this in front of a group they should contact me later, at which time I pass out my business card that has my cell phone and emaill address on it.

Because of this, students will say that they are coming over my house for "coffee" "tea"  or something like that, when really they are just coming over to obtain condoms. It is a great and discrete way to distribute condoms to shy students. Also, it is well known that I love coffee, tea and house guests so it not unrealisitic to assume that students are acutally over for coffee or tea.
