Planned Parenthood’s STD Prevention Awareness Campaign, Take Care Down There, has a website that features several cheesy videos to help raise awareness about STD prevention — and they do not hold back on terminology!
“Squirt shirt”, “rubber”, and “boner bucket” are a few phrases used in their “Hot -n- Heavy” video where two teens getting a bit, well, hot-n-heavy, are lectured on using condoms and how to put them on.
Although the videos are the epitome of cheesiness, they are humorous enough to capture the attention of viewers while at the same time delivering very important educational information regarding sexually transmitted diseases.
You can view all of their videos at http://takecaredownthere.org.
