We Are The Sex Media: News Flash! Emotions Effect Condom Use!

filed under: We Are The Sex Media by Lux Nightmare

In my day job, I work with teenagers, doing whatever I can to keep them from getting pregnant.  So it comes as no surprise to me that a recent study has revealed that simply providing information about safer sex isn’t enough to actually get kids to have safe sex.

Shocking but true, man: you can lead a horse to water, but if you want it to drink, you actually have to deal with the feelings that said horse has about drinking water, the horse’s cultural background and attitudes towards water itself, and the negotiation process that occurs with drinking.  Or something like that, but with teenagers, sex, condoms, and birth control stuck in there instead of horses and water.
