Introducing
the Rubber Solider in the Bedroom

For many,
college is the first time students are living with, going out with, and
sleeping with the opposite sex. We meet lucky prospects and in today’s hook up
culture, there seems to be only one thing everyone is looking for; sex. For
some, the only knowledge they have about safe sex, or sex at all, is what they
were taught in high school. This maybe good or bad, but the only way of knowing
if you have the most accurate information is to do your research. You may also
find it to be beneficial to go to your campus’ sexual health programming. Here
at UC, a great way to learn some safer sex skills is to attend one of the
Student Wellness Center’s sexual health programs that are presented by your
peers, the HealthyU Peer Educators. They have been where are you are and can
easily relate to your worries, fears, and questions.
So,
after you learn information about the importance of using protection such as a
condom, how do you introduce what can be an awkward little object under the
sheets with a person you may barley know on a Saturday night? Well here are
some ideas…
·
Buy ribbed, textured, his and her lubricated
condoms to make it more fun. This is also a good way to convince the “it
doesn’t feel as good with a condom” partner that condoms are not only necessary
but can make sex better.
·
For oral sex, buy flavored condoms, or add
flavored lubricant to the condom to encourage some kind of barrier method to be
used.

·
Female condoms can be worn up to 4 hours
before the sexual act. If you know there will be time for dessert after dinner,
you can be prepared and ready for action without any conversation of finding
and putting a condom on before the act.
·
Let your partner know that by using the
little rubber solider that night, there will be less worry the next morning.
Just by wearing that condom,
you are significantly decreasing risk to your health and to your partner’s
health. Remember if a condom or barrier method is used every time, it is still
important to get tested for STI’s every three to six months.
Stop by the Student Wellness
Center in 675 Steger Student Life Center for three free condoms a day. We now even
have Fire and Ice Trojan condoms!
