Condom Fashion Show & Sexual Advice



Hey y'all! I know February and Valentines' Day is over (and this is really late) but I do want to talk about it since something cool happened at CWoo the week-end before Valentines' Day. The first ever Condom Fashion show put on by the Wellness Center employees. The show was put on to stress the importance of safe sex and how to properly use a condom when having sex. Each of the designers had to choose a model and design an inspired wardrobe made entirely out of condoms.
Here are some of the creations:
Roarin' Twenties Flapper Girl
Do the Safety Dance
Rebel Against STDs
Show Some Class Always Ask
The Condom Fairy
Other Designs of the Night
Now I know that this might seem like a silly (or maybe just an uncomfortable) topic for most people to even think about, let alone discuss, but sexual safety is very important! Personally, I am all about abstinence and I think that unmarried people should remain abstinent until such time as they get married. I know this might seem like an old-fashioned idea but having sex before marriage can severely impact your future life, especially when it comes to any other relationships. Having unprotected sex can lead to STDs or pregnancy which means that any new partner that you are with runs the risk of getting the STD from you or having to help support a child that is not theirs. I also know, however, that life is not always that easy and people have a right to decide what they want to do with their bodies. I just want to say that if you do choose to have sex to so safely and smartly, it is not difficult to get condoms or put them on (trust me they showed us) and they can provide a barrier of protection for both participants. While it may be awkward for a guy to go in and buy a package of condoms they are worth it in the end (oh and mention that it is not pleasant to go to the store every few months to buy feminine products). And also, if a guy ever tries to deny using a condom because they "don't fit", you run, run very far away, because stores sell condoms for everyone so there is no chance that there will be an incorrect fit. Oh yeah, and PS. to both guys and girls out there ('cause I know it is not always guys) when someone says NO it means NO, even if you have all of the protection do not have sex with someone without their consent (it is just common sense).
OK, so I will get off my soap box now but I just want to make sure that all y'all get this because it is important. Sexual safety is something that needs to be talked about because then we can help make it less awkward when someone needs advice on the topic. Above all, it is about respect, respect for you and your partner because it takes two to tango (if you know what I mean).

Ramey Road Trip Day 6: First Family Visit

Image
Today was another day of just driving goodness. There were no side stops planned since we were trying to get to where we were staying for the night so the Rameys could spend some time with their relatives. So mostly we drove….. Jared and I watched a lot of Game of Thrones (we are currently in the middle of season five) and made pit stops every once in a while. The main highlight of the trip was that we crossed the Missouri River. That was pretty neat, there was a rest stop on the other side of the river that had a small Lewis and Clarke museum and an overlook where you could go and see the bridges across the river. Then guess what happened next?? More driving…… We drove for a couple of hours more until we got to the next cool thing. This time we were crossing the Mississippi River! We went to another rest area for lunch and hiked down a trail to the lookout spot where you could see part of the river. After lunch it was back to driving. We drove and drove and drove unti...

Ramey Road Trip Day 24-25: The Long Trip Home

Image
Good morning everyone! Here is another two-for-one special! Remember the flat tire incident from the other day? Well yesterday we had to go get it taken care of. Mama Ramey woke Jared and I up so that we could move and they could drive to the local Les Schwab to get it fixed up. While the mechanics were working on the car all of the kids slept and the parents went to Denny's to get some breakfast. With breakfast consumed and tires fixed, we set back out on the road. The whole day was pretty much spent driving with very few pit stops. Though we did stop at a bridge where Evil Kenevil did one of his stunts and watched some people base jump. Then we just drove until we got to our campground which was in Oregon this time. Once we got there Jared, CC, and I went swimming for a bit before we all got out to go and eat dinner. Then Jared and I went to the arcade to play some games (there were some really old games) until it closed and we went back to sit around the fire. We both hung o...

Ramey Road Trip Day 21: Desert Days

Image
Today started very early for some reason. Mama Ramey wanted to get up and go right away so she got us up out of our bed and had us move to the big bed so that they could start driving. We didn't officially wake up until like 9:30.  So we pretty much drove a lot today. We had two scheduled stops but that was it. The first was to Four Corners. For those who don't know, Four Corners is basically a place where you can stand in four states at once: Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. So we stopped for a bit and took our pictures, there were also a bunch of vendors set up around the patio area selling different wares so we looked around for a bit. Then we headed back to the RV so we could eat lunch, everybody except Austin and I had Indian tacos which are tacos on top of fry bread. I had a chicken salad sandwich and I am pretty sure Austin just had chips.  Then we set off so we could get to our next stop. This time we were going to a place called Mesa Verde National Park...
