Adventures in Sex City, a cartoon-y Canadian video game designed to teach young people about safe sex, was introduced in February of 2010 and caused some controversy. But it was popular enough that Ontario's Middlesex-London Health Unit is rolling out a sequel, according to CNews.
In the game, players choose one of four different characters -- with names like Wonder Vag and Captain Condom -- to battle the evil Sperminator, who has penises for hands. (No, really. We're not joking. Check it out here.) They "fight" by answering questions about sexual activity.

Alicia said...That is fantastic! I sort of want this video game for myself. And hey, if it'll help lessons stick and increase safe sex and decrease teen pregnancy, I see nothing wrong with it!

Lauren said...I dunno, I think its more important to learn about sex from the parents. Then again, I don't plan to teach my kids about safe sex either. I believe in abstinence til marriage. I think we sell kids short when we tell them that they can't control their hormones.

Alicia said...They're going to need to know the mechanics of it anyway. And don't you want them knowing how to prevent pregnancy when they're married?
Besides I swore (though my family was never abstinence-only) that I'd wait til marriage. Turned 18 and one day just decided I was tired of being virgin. Glad I new about condoms because otherwise that could've been a huge mistake.
