Penn State group combats intoxicated sex

"We have a huge problem with drinking and sexual assault, rape and not using condoms," Cooper said. "We wanted to do something about that."
The toys will be distributed in areas downtown that usually have an accumulation of intoxicated people, Cooper said, though she was not sure of exact locations.
She discussed two aspects of the group's goal: the immediate and the long-term. Primarily, the group wishes to raise awareness about unprotected or intoxicated sex. After a while, she hopes there will be a decrease in the number of unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections and sexual assault cases among students.
The group is also trying to eliminate the connection between alcohol and sex, said FMLA member Noopur Pathak, a senior in mathematics.
"Something like sex is important enough to be aware of," Pathak said. "You should know what you're doing."
The campaign also hopes to educate women that they "should be aware that they are confident enough without needing alcohol" to have sex, Pathak said.
"It's not only more risky in terms of consequences, it's also unpleasureable and not as fun," Cooper said.

We all know that our judgment is poor when we are intoxicated and poor judgment very often leads to poor decision and actions. The consequence of poor actions and decisions in our intimate encounters ranges from unwanted pregnancies to STDs

I call Bull on this one. I can do the Cube whilst fully inebriated. I have solved then passed out. Now, doing the cube just before getting busy will surely scare away the partner, so I guess maybe this isn't such a bad idea. (Continued…)

Maybe Penn State is full of geniuses who all know how to solve a Rubik's Cube, but most people, even when completely sober, have no idea how to solve one. (Continued…)
