Happy Valentine's Day, Mr. Rogers...




Being in college provides one with many excellent opportunities for various programs. While, i have not yet participated in many of these programs, i hear they are really quite excellent. Take for example this program that was put together for Valentine's Day, to explain and exemplify the dangers of unprotected sex:

During the week before Valentine's day, leading up to Valentine's day, my dorm building, and the dorm building connected to mine, put together this little psuedo-experiment that they dubbed "Sex in an Envelope". While it sounded quite an interesting little idea...i decided not to go along with it. It was quite a smart move, as i would later find out.

Basically, the way it worked was you put your name on a mailing list. Anybody on this list would be the participants. Each day the building would mail you another piece to your specific scenerio. Some people got good ones, but the majority got bad ones. For example, as the days progressed, my roommate found out that he was raped by the popular girl on campus and that he obtained chlamydia...all because he got drunk at a party and someone gave him the date rape drug. That was funny. But not everyone had a funny outcome.

They guy across the hall from me had an interesting little scenerio given to him. Apparently he was a guy whose girl just dumped him. As a result, he turned to the internet to seek comfort, and he found it, in a girl. As the days went on, they decided to meet at an internet cafe. Finally, the big day comes. Oh la la... So he goes to the internet cafe. But there is no girl. Well, not quite. There was an old lady, and off to the side a guy named Aaron. So this guy decides that she is a no-show. However, just as he is walking out, he hears the guy call to him, "Hey, it's me!" Now, when the person next door (his name is Matt, just in case all you out there were curious) read this, he laughed, and decided to see where this played out. At first it was funny. However, on the last day of the program, Valentine's Day, he was in for a little surprise, for as the days kept passing, his fate kept getting worse. Here is the final piece of the scenerio, received on Valentine's Day:



On Valentine's Day, Aaron lets you in on a little secret of his own. He is HIV positive, and wants you to know before it becomes too big of a problem. The two of you decide on sexual boundaries, and continue to have a great relationship centered sexually around protective oral sex. You join GBLTC, an on-campus support group for gay youth, and this makes it easier to come out to others. You and Aaron decide to get married in Vermont.



Damn, that is kinda sad isn't it. Do you see know why exactly i am glad i didn't participate?
Nice.
