Tip for Tuesday!
Not sure what your participant means when they say things like:
Common law girlfriend
Shatner texting
Yolo
Cuffing
Boomtangle
Look it up on urbandictionary.com.
Better yet- ask your participants what it means, then look it up! It’s ok to admit you don’t know the meaning of slang terms- showing that you aren’t a walking encyclopedia (or google) can help a participant feel more comfortable acknowledging that they don’t know everything!
Here’s your tip for Tuesday: Doing a demonstration of how to use a condom? Try using a cucumber, or a zucchini, or a squash instead of a banana! Or get a variety of fruit and vegetables in order show how flexible and sturdy condoms can be.
Idea! I am going to start posting a tip every Tuesday that educators can use to enhance their programs.
Today’s Tuesday Tip: use advertisements, like the JC Penney ad I discussed in my June 26 post or this Calvin Klein one, to generate discussion about the ways popular culture portrays sexuality.
