Students found themselves with free ice cream last Tuesday when ASG hosted a sexual health workshop. At said workshop, Rachel Todd from Planned Parenthood came to the SFCC campus to talk about how to practice safe sex and the wide variety of things that Planned Parenthood offers.

During the workshop, there were free items, from condoms to notebooks, for students to take, and there were even prizes for people who won the games played at the event, which included a condom relay, Cards Against Humanity and more.

While the games were being played, students had the chance to write down their questions anonymously for Todd to answer later in the workshop and, of course, get some yummy Ben and Jerry’s ice cream.

Todd had the questions asked anonymously because “It’s how you get the real, honest questions,” she said.

Sarah Torres, the current ASG outreach programmer and incoming ASG president, spoke about her vision for the event.

Torres came up with the event with the programing team. The activities vice president came up with the title and concept and she “ran with it” to get the event going. “I am just so excited for people to continue to open up and be able to ask questions about life and sexual health,” Torres said. “I’m really excited that people had fun overall, I think it’s important.”

Torres says that opening up about sexual health is a good thing.

“I think it’s really important for the stigma around sexual health to be eroded away,” Torres said. “The less fearful we are … the safer we will be.”

“Students asked many important questions pertaining to sexual health.”

Todd answered all the questions whether they were silly or serious.

“I think it is really important to have these (events) on college campuses”

Todd says that these events are important “because people need to learn about healthy decision making and empowering people to make decisions for their healthiest life and I think events like this are really great at helping (people) to do that.”
