This Week on LevOpen: [Insert Pun About Rabbits and Sex]

Posted by Ingrid Pierre on February 1, 2010 at 6:25 pm

This week on the open_lists, one frustrated Leverettite addressed an issue that may point to the heart of student relations issues on campus (er…lack of “relations”, perhaps): WHY are the house condom boxes always empty?

Obvi not the Leverett hare.

Okay, in all seriousness, I realize sex is a taboo subject.

But given how wonderful sex can be and how rare it often is that the average Harvard undergraduate gets to enjoy it, I shudder at the thought of Leverites having no sex at all (or worse, unsafe sex) because a walk to UHS or CVS is such a hassle when you’re all hot and bothered.

Remember, a key component of effective sexual education is access to preventative materials, and the ability to talk openly about it through venues such as Lev Open.

So when someone fills the Condom Box, I hope he or she lets everyone know, and continues to do so on a regular basis.

Have fun y’all!

Best,
J.

You have no idea how hard it has been for me to restrain myself from sending out really bad jokes about bunnies being frisky while linking images of said friskiness.

That said. Best thread ever.

While the condom box is often empty you can oftentimes make a trip to UHS (I want to say weekdays, 7-midnight?) and visit PCC. They’re on the 5th floor (you have to go in through the basement since it’s after hours) and have a huge variety of all sorts of barrier contraceptives as well as different lubricants and plenty of general contraceptive advice and non-directive counseling.

But yeah, the condom box should be stocked more often.

Not that I need them very often…

But can anyone tell me why is the condom box always empty?

It makes me so sad.

There you have it. Still a total mystery. Either someone’s hoarding (not cool), there’s actually much more campus activity than FML would suggest, or this is some TLR scheming (joking…). Read from Harvard’s University Health Services website:

Free condoms and latex dams (Glyde Dams) are available in the Harvard undergraduate houses and in the lobby on the 2nd floor of HUHS at Holyoke Center. You can also get free condoms from the undergraduate Peer Contraceptive Counselors (PCC) on the 5th floor of HUHS at Holyoke Center. PCC counselors are available every night from 7 PM to 12 AM.

In the words of Joe Wilson: You lie!
