(NSFW—I suppose) Are you a good sexual citizen of the world?

Asked by lapilofu (4325points) August 19th, 2010

What do you think of this article? Do you already do any of these things? Will you do any of these things? Are you against doing any of these things? Do you have your own suggestions of how to be a good sexual citizen?

The idea of slipping condoms into the hotel bible is pretty cheeky. I’m an atheist, but I don’t know if I’d be willing to do that, because the bible means so much to Christians. I would be happy to stash condoms in other places around a hotel room, though.

Otherwise, I already do most of the stuff mentioned in the article. I worked in an adult toy store for about 3 years, and learned a lot while I was there. Some of the people I met were so sex-positive it came across as preachy, which was a leeetle annoying. I think that if you’re advancing a less popular viewpoint, the best way to reach the most people is through humor and inclusiveness.

@Haleth As a former hotel inspector, you might be shocked by what we’ve found left behind in hotel rooms and where it’s been discovered.

I know parents who keep a bowl of condoms in the bathroom. They typically maintain open communication about sexuality with their children. I don’t have kids myself, but I think it’s a good idea. Would I pass them out to strangers? Nah. But I am an advocate of high schools having them available in the nurses office or in the Student Center at colleges.

The section on putting sex-negative jokes to an immediate stop is important to me. Some of the friends I’ve had in the past think I’m “too serious” or worse “too Politically Correct”. It’s not that I’m afraid of offending people – I just think what they’re saying is wrong.

@Pied_Pfeffer Curiosity may have killed the cat, but I can’t help but ask for story time.

hahaha I offered my stepson a condom before his date. He was going to meet this lady he met online. Well the condom was outdated. Expired a two years ago.I didn’t even know they had expirations.

Easy to be a good sexual citizen when the last time you were inside a woman it was the Statue of Liberty. (Old but reliable Woody Allen joke.)

I’ve been known to tell a few jehovhas witness’ to go fuck themselves. I’ve a strong feeling that this probably doesn’t qualify however.

Depends on who I am spanking.

The person that wrote that article thinks too much.

Whattt…I think “homeless youth” have much bigger problems than no condoms. Come on.

Really good question. I don’t think that I am…as much as I can be. I support sex workers in any argument, and deplore abstinence programs, so in theory I think that I am. However, I think my activity doesn’t match – the one thing I can think of is vocally and earnestly thanking people who participate in condom awareness by going into gay bars and handing out free condoms to people at the bar during gay pride. I love that.
