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,
