Sex Ed Video Contest
My friend over at Phalligator just announced a brand new contest - make your own sex ed video! The winner gets a $3500 scholarship. This sounds like an awesome contest - if you want more details on how to enter, go here.
I love the proliferation of DIY sex education that’s happening right now. YouTube and easy video technology allows people to produce sex education material and get it out there at relatively low cost. I just recently stumbled across the Midwest Teen Sex Show - a podcast for teens about sex. These videos are probably some of the most honest and funny videos about sex for teens I’ve ever seen. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed out loud so much during a sex ed video. They may not be the most comprehensive or politically correct videos out there, but they’re engaging and that’s the most important thing.
My favorite episode right now is the one on The Older Boyfriend. This is my favorite line: “you may think you’re pretty cool for having an older boyfriend, but what you have to remember is, he’s not cool for dating you. He’s a loser, and you can find plenty of losers to date at school”

Hey Dallas! FYI - we’re organizing to have the Creators of the Midwest Teen Sex Show host the premier of the Fresh Focus Video Contest winners at the Sex::Tech conference in January ‘08 (sxtechconference.org). They are amazing. I think the ‘Older Boyfriend’ is my favorite episode too.

Brilliant. I look forward to having kids so I can show them this video. Again: brilliant.
