Sex Carnival

A few weeks ago, it was safe sex week, and if you didn't notice the suspicious amount of condoms that seemed to appear everywhere on campus, there were lots of cool activities to participate in and get a little sex ed. at the same time. The coolest thing by far was the Sex Carnival full of fun carnival style games that all related somehow to sex.

When Chrissy called me and forced me to go, I though the Carnival was just going to be a lame waste of time, but it turned out to be really fun and cleverly put together. The atmosphere was very inviting and playful, and the fact that there were so many people there made it seem more normal. The first game we played was throwing darts at blown up condoms and trying not to bust them. This was the perfect game for me because the point was to suck at throwing darts, and I had that covered! I punctured no condoms and was STD free at the end of my turn, but Hayley on the other hand ended up with clamidia because she busted a condom. I guess it happens to the best of us... then we made our way to the bean bag toss of effective ways of birth control. As the ways became more effective(worth more tickets), the buckets were farther away and more difficult to throw the bean bags in. Well, I didn't get any tickets here, but there were many other fun stations at the carnival. There was even a room where people could dress up as students and teachers and take weird sexual pictures! Everyone looked like they were having a fun time. At the end of the night, people who earned tickets (I gave mine to Chrissy because she is more of a winner than me) put them into a box where they had the chance of winning a prize. Chrissy won a book of sex positions (something she needs like a hole in the head.) and several other nice prizes were given out.

The Sex Carnival was a huge success not only because of the large amount of people there, but also because it made sex education fun and memorable. It also just served as something to do on campus. Finding an adequate mixture of entertainment and informative information is sometimes difficult to do. Also, there's always that thin line between what you and your friends think is funny and what is actually funny and fun to most people, and I think. Both of these obstacles were overcome in style by the organizers of the Sex Carnival. Leaving the Carnival, people probably left with plenty of things to joke about, interesting facts in their head, and a few condoms in their pockets, which is always a good thing.
