Adventures in Sex City, and the Steve Cowan Scholarship
He who has health has hope; He who has hope has everything.
- Arab proverb
One of the more amusing links to get passed around this week came courtesy of the Middlesex-London Health Unit (link), a public education body out in Ontario. It’s called Adventures in Sex City, and it’s a web-based sex ed trivia game that features superheroes fighting against an evil masked wrestler with penis arms.
No, really. He has penises for arms.

The game features a series of true-or-false questions, largely themed around STIs and STI transmission. They’re not all easy, mind you… even some of the people here at YIBC didn’t score perfect on their first go. What’s more, the little billboards on the bottom will occasionally flash, indicating that there’s an extra little bit of info to be had by clicking on them.
Aside from the fairly disturbing implication that unprotected sex might lead you to growing penis arms and turn your sperm evil, the questions are right on the money and the MLHU’s web side is full of information on a ton of different health topics. Check it out! You can click on the picture above to go straight to the game.
Every year our parent organization, the Vancouver Crisis Centre, issues the Steve Cowan Scholarship to “encourage and promote the attainment of higher educational goals for individuals who have demonstrated a positive commitment to helping their community.” In particular, what we’re looking for is someone who is graduating this year (or who graduated last year) from a high school in the Lower Mainland or Sea-to-Sky corridor, is entering their first year of a post-secondary program.
If you think you’re that someone, or you think you know that someone, check out the Centre’s page on the scholarship, fill out the application form and submit it before the deadline, March 5th, 2010.
