Hey there Voxers!
So this morning after waking up to the terrible sound of the alarm system coming from Scott Stadium, I found this link in my facebook inbox from Amber (former pres). I reallyyyy want one of the vulva puppets; it would be absolutely amazing for sexual arts and crafts and I would also probably keep it on my desk year round just to get a rise out of people.
One really shocking statistic that I read in the article though is that according to a 1996 study in Hong Kong, 78% of youth use porn and mass media as their main source of information about sex. My guess is that it's probably not much better in the US were 8+ years of abstinence only sexual education has only yielded a ridiculously high teen pregnancy rate and the staggering statistic that 1 in 4 teenage girls has an STD/STI. Maybe we need our own version of Kar Kar and Tak Tak in conjunction with age appropriate, medically accurate, comprehensive sexual education. Maybe that way we could empower young people with knowledge that could protect them from detrimental choices and their consequences and maybe I personally wouldn't go back to my high school and see another 5 senior girls pregnant (out of a 200 person class). Anyways I'm going to get off my soap box and do some actual work.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and if you're in Cville, have an awesome Midsummer's!!
xo,
