UConn’s Safer Sex Squad
The Safer Sex Squad is a UConn group of super heroes whose mission is to educate students and support choices around sexuality and sexual health. They have banded together to fight Unsafe Sex and his band of rebels!
“The Good Ones”
Hi Everyone! I am Captain Condom and I promote safer sex and help coordinate all of my friends on the Safer Sex Squad. My nemesis is the diabolical Unsafe Sex.
Hi Folks—I am Lady Lube! I educate people about friction because it is the #1 reason why condoms break (and not putting the condom on correctly!). I am here to stop friction!
Hey—Defender Dam here! I help people to protect each other from transmission of STDs during oral and anal sex. I am very proud to be a part of UConn’s Safer Sex Squad.
We are the Abstainers! We are friends to the Safer Sex Squad because abstinence as defined by abstaining from oral, vaginal anal or other sex acts is the safest form of sex and is the only 100% effective way to prevent STDs and pregnancy. Nationally speaking, at least 20% of the college population choose to abstain.
Go Abstainers!
En Garde! I am Slick Sir Ran and I help Defender Dam in sticky situations such as when people are allergic to latex. I am an alternative to latex to be used for oral sex to reduce transmission of STDs. As long as I am here—STDs should fear!
Hello! I am Poly Protector and I help Captain Condom! I am a female condom that women can use as an alternative to the male condom. I am latex free and I can also be used by men. I am also handy for folks who engage in anal sex!
“The Risky Ones”
I am Unsafe Sex and I coordinate my band of rebels to destroy the Safer Sex Squad. I am often found sabotaging safer sex supplies or trying to figure out a way to sneak past the Safer Sex Squad. I can’t be foiled everytime! HA HA!!
I am Rip Torn and I love it when people use condoms incorrectly! If a condom is past its expiration date, a condom put on wrong or stored in a wallet or backpack too long—I am very happy! I am often stopped by the Safer Sex Squad—but I am working on a plan! Mwahahah!
Snip Snap is my name and cutting condoms is my game! I try to cut up condoms to make them useless but that Safer Sex Squad is clever and is always thinking of ways to utilize them. Defender Dam and Slick Sir Ran are quick to use my cut condoms for safer oral sex. Hmph!
We are Friction and Freezer Fiends! We are twins that work against the Safer Sex Squad to break safer sex supplies with friction or by using temperatures too hot or too cold. We have fun working together to over throw the Safer Sex Squad!
Hi I am Vaseline Vixen. My friends consist of hand lotion & baby oil and we love to break down condoms. I don’t know WHY the Safer Sex Squad makes a big deal out of little ol’ me. I only break condoms most of the time—nobody is perfect!
