This past Saturday, Feb. 12, the Underground (UG) hosted Sex Trivia, an event put on by the Sexual Respect Coalition (SRC) and Men Working for Change. The event sought to educate students on campus about sexual health and other aspects of sexual identity and sexuality. At the event, there was trivia focused on various categories, including history, anatomy and fun facts. Trivia questions were asked to students who attended in a fun manner. Attendees were divided into different teams in order to work together to answer the questions to the best of their abilities. Most teams were named after sexual inuendos, including The Nine Inch Males, Blue Ballers and Booby Bears, which spiced up the night even more. Teams then wrote their answers to the trivia questions and were scored accordingly. The competition was fierce!
Micah Morrow, the treasurer of SRC, reflected on the event. He said, “It was really cool to see how many people showed up to the event and were genuinely engaged. People showed up open-minded and willing to learn about sex, which I know is not the most comfortable thing ever. We were honestly not expecting a huge turnout, so we were very shocked by the success of the night.”
In the end, 20 to 25 students showed up to participate in the sex trivia, allowing there to be many teams. Students were having fun and laughing a lot, while also being engaged and learning about such an important topic. As college students, many times we often forget to focus on the importance of sexual health and safety, so events like these remind the student body that there is more to sex than what is seen at the surface level. On top of the fun trivia questions, condoms and dental dams were tossed out throughout the night, further emphasizing the importance of sexual health.
Morrow said, “There is a lot more to sex than just the pleasure one receives from it. It is important to recognize that and educate yourself. For example, while STIs and STDs should not be stigmatized, they definitely still need to be acknowledged and treated as important.”
In case you could not make it to the event, we want to provide some sex trivia questions and encourage you to do your research to come up with answers. These questions include: How often do men think about sex per day? Which British monarch had a sex chair? What sex act is tribbing the formal name of? What is the record for the most clitoral orgasms in one hour?
