Sexual Responsibility Week 2010

Sexology 101: Great Sexpectations

We are thrilled to enclose the 2010 Sexual Responsibility Week Campaign, created by The BACCHUS Network™. Once again, our organization is proud to support the efforts of student peer educators and campus health and wellness offices working to make sexual health a priority on campus.

As has been the case for years, BACCHUS is a leader in promoting student-friendly sexual health information that can be used by virtually any type of campus as a way to broadly promote a respectful understanding of sexual health topics in your campus community.

The purpose of Sexual Responsibility Week is to provide all of our affiliates with a highly visible spark for what we hope is a year round commitment to sexual health issues and programming in your campus community.

You will notice that this year’s theme “Sexology 101” really allows for great creativity and flexibility to all our campus affiliates and plays off of an academic theme. For some of our students, a sexual health campaign program effort includes the choice to be sexually active and information about safer sex. For others, the relationship consists of love and friendship with the commitment to wait before engaging in sexual activity. No matter what your program of choice and message you deliver, in all cases, include issues such as respect, honesty, trust and intimacy.

Many people like to create their own Sexual Responsibility Week in February during the week of Valentine’s Day. Some people like to do their sexual health awareness on the week before Spring Break. Others find it difficult to conduct an entire week of sexual health events, but instead try to do a day or two of programming. As always, we leave it to our affiliates to decide what is best for them and their respective campuses.

This programming guide describes materials you can use for the Sexual Responsibility Week campaign, from our posters, to pamphlets to promotional items! We want to make it as easy as possible for you to create your own educational events on campus. Read through the guide and go to SmarterSex.org for even more facts and ideas to design a great campaign. In the near future, you will be receiving an additional package in the mail for Sexual Responsibility Week, containing sexual health materials. Please distribute those materials as well.

Good luck with your efforts this year. We appreciate all you do to make our campuses as safe and healthy as possible! For even more great sexual health information, don’t forget to visit our website SmarterSex.org
