It was hard to miss the Planned Parenthood booth by the fountain last Wednesday.
No one could miss the men wearing huge condoms on their heads.
A spokesperson for Planned Parenthood said he was at Fresno City College as part of the “Condom Week” celebrations as well as to educate the public about safe sex and Planned Parenthood services.
The booth was colorful and full of helpful information, ranging from STD Fact Sheets and pamphlets to a “Condom Comebacks” wheel. The wheel displayed common pickup lines that men use on women as well as comebacks that women can use to rebut them. A particularly funny comeback read, “I’ve got moves rubbers can’t stop.”
Planned Parenthood had an array of entertaining activities: in addition to men wearing condoms hats, students had an opportunity to play a game called “The wheel of Sex.”
Students spun the wheel loaded with sex-related questions, such as, “How long does sperm last when it’s in a woman?” The answer is two weeks, and anyone who got it right was rewarded with a T-shirt.
It was a smart booth that got the students to take a second look at life saving information.
Students who needed more information were encouraged to visit the Planned Parenthood offices on Fulton Street. The branch of Planned Parenthood offers a wide array of free services ranging from contraception, STD tests, HIV/AIDS testing and counseling, Pap tests, Emergency contraception, and abortion services.
