I facilitated a lesson on condom use and how to do demonstrations. The workers had a fun time learning and gained a lot from the lesson and activity. They were full of great questions which tells me what the people out in the community are in need of knowing. These young men and women are so dedicated to their work and have an insatiable appetite for good information. We started off with a Q and A activity covering condom facts and breaking myths (which there are many) then moved on to the steps of putting on a condom. When you only have one wooden model penis, all your bananas are over-ripe and you only have half a cucumber in the fridge one must rely on free resources. They all got a kick out of this one.
The workers each had a step in the process of appropriate condom use. They had to put themselves in the correct order.
Then we posted them on the wall and put them into action.
Do you know the steps of appropriate condom use? Let us teach you...
Step 1. Talk about condom use with your partner.
Step 2. Check the expiration date and make sure the package is not damaged.
Step 3. Carefully open the wrapper. Don't use scissors or your teeth.
Step 4. Set the rolled condom on the head of the penis. Make sure the tip of the condom is facing up.
Step 5. Leave a half-inch space at the tip of the condom for semen collection.
Step 6. Pinch the air out of the condom's tip with one hand. With the other hand roll the condom all the way down the shaft of the penis.
Step 7. Have protected intercourse.
Step 8. After ejaculation pull out before the penis gets soft. Hold on to the base of the condom so it doesn't slip off when pulling out.
Step 9. Slide the condom off the penis. (Not only does this photo say it all, but it's my favorite picture of the day.)
Step 10. Appropriately dispose of condom. (This was taken at a community clean-up campaign I was a part of.)
