14 Western Carolinian February 8,1996 Editorials This sounds crazy, but almost everything you can do that is enjoyable can be risky for one disease or another. If you've read through this, then you can see that this is true. It's a good thing, though, that some diseases are completely curable, so you don't have to worry as much about those. As long as you see your doctor regularly and get yourself cleaned up, you don't have to worry about the bacterial and insect infections (gonorrhea, syphilis, crabs, scabies, chancroids, and trich). BUT, you do have to watch out for those viral infections (herpes, warts, hepatitis and especially HIV!). So what's RISKY? What's SAFE? Is it that simple? Listed below almost every conceivable sexual act has been charted according to riskiness. If you want to take risks, that's up to you, but you have to be responsible for your own health, and the health of the people you could possibly infect. EXTREMELY HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES include: Receptive anal sex Receptive vaginal sex Insertive anal sex Insertive vaginal sex You can get every disease mentioned in this pamphlet if you have sex like this without a condom. USE A CONDOM! As stated before, insertive or receptive anal and vaginal sex are extremely risky for HIV and hepatitis because you can get tiny cuts in your anus, vagina, or penis. This gives the viruses a way to enter into your blood from semen, vaginal fluid, and blood (if the other person is bleeding too). Also, these high-risk acts allow intimate skin contact, which easily transmits many of the other STDs. MEDIUM RISK ACTIVITIES include: •giving a blow job •going down on a woman •performing a rim-job (oral-anal) •receiving a blow job •receptive vaginal-oral contact •receiving a rim-job (oral-anal) Taking semen (cum) into your mouth and swallowing is much riskier for HIV than just giving a blow job without letting the guy ejaculate in your mouth. There have been plenty of cases where people got HIV from giving blow jobs. USE A CONDOM! Oral contact with bodily fluids when your mouth has cuts in it makes oral sex HIGH RISK, so be aware of your health. Even if the risk for HIV is medium for oral sex, do you really want warts and herpes in your mouth for the rest of your life? Do you really want to pass these diseases on to other people you'll have sex with in the future? Or to your kids, if you choose to have any? LOW RISK ACTIVITIES include: •fondling genitals (petting) •mutual masturbation •dry humping •kissing These behaviors allow direct skin contact. Any kind of touching of bare skin is also risky for getting many STDs. This kind of intimate and secondary contact can give you warts and herpes, as well as all of the bacterial infections. Kissing rarely transmits anything, though, and the risk is mainly theoretical. NO RISK ACTIVITIES include: •non-genital massage •talking •fantasizing together •masturbating together without touching •not having sex (abstinence) These things do not transmit any diseases. Talking to your partner, waiting out the incubation period for the various diseases, and getting examined often are the best ways to stay clean. Learn to speak up for yourself if someone wants to do something risky. You're young and you have the rest of your life to enjoy, and you don't want it to be ruined because of one "little" mistake you might make. Tell your partner that you want safe sex, that you're scared of getting STDs, and demand safe sex or no sex. If they tell you they're totally clean, remember that people can have STDs without even knowing it. Info, about sex taken from the birth control section under social sciences/YAHOO off of the Internet Campus Info. NO COVER, NO LOVER Get your condoms on February 14!! February is National Condom Awareness Month. In recognition of this, the Wellness Program, with help from LMP and IFC, will be handing out condoms on Wednesday, February 14 at various locations around campus throughout the day. Using condoms is very important in stopping the spread of STDs, including HIV, and protecting against pregnancy. So remember, before you take a LOVER make sure you have a COVER. For more information contact the Wellness Prograam at 227- 7018. The WC would like to convey our most sincere apologies to Debbie Woodard and the Bookstore for misquoting her in last week's editorial section. WHAT DOES LOVE LOOK LIKE? A Single's Workshop Relationships are not easy. We live with the myth/that matches are made in heaven and friendships are forever. But, in real life, it takes a great deal of hard work to have a healthy, growing relationship. "What Does Love Look Like" is a workshop about finding a partner and creating the dance of relationships. It's about selecting the right partner and moving gracefully into learning the dance of that relationship. It's an opportunity to meet people and to learn about being in different relationships. This workshop is for those who have never married, those who are divorced, and those who are widowed and will be held Saturday, February 10, 10:00a.m. until 3:30 p.m., at the Owen Conference Center, UNC- Asheville. The workshop is presented by licensed psychologists, Dr. Dennis Hoogerman and Dr. Karen Marcus. For registration and information, call (704) 2532256. SEX-SEX-SEX-SEX-SEX Happy Valentines Pay Once again it's Hallmark time. Flowers, balloons, candy, condoms, and more cards than anyone cares to see. Love is in the air-or maybe it's in the wallets. With each Valentine's Day comes an influx of dating. Even those who don't normally date are out there scraping the bottom of the barrel for a date. When he/she comes to pick you up for your night of romance, remember to bring along your condoms, spermicide, foam, diaphram, and/or dental dam. With dating comes Sex. Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, and more sex. Sex doesn't necessarily have to go with dating but with most couples it does figure in. With sex comes many concerns—namely, pregnancy, AIDS, HIV, chlamydia, crabs, herpes, Gonnoria, syphilis, yeast infection and other exciting sexually transmitted things. On this wonderful night of LOVE at least 3 out of every 200 people will be infected with HIV. It is in everyone's best interest to take precautions. a message from the WC staff It's Not the Same Old Yearbook To the Editor, First, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Margie Koch and I am the Editor in Chief of the Catamount Yearbook. I would like to take this opportunity to address the students, faculty, and supporters of WCU. This is my first year on the Catamount staff and my first year as the Editor. I received this job with determination to take what little I had and produce a great book. The previous editors (some of them) have given this book a bad name. The most common things I hear are: "The book is ALL Greek," "There are no African- Americans in the book" or "I am not going to buy it because I am not in it." All of these statements are untrue. I have changed this book entirely. There are new sections such as: Independent Life, Clubs and Organizations, and an additional Student Life in the closing pages. The book also contains Student Life (color), Greek Life, Academics, Sports, etc. This book is not all Greek. We also have added African-Americans, Christians, and the band sororities and fraternities to the Greek section. On every two-page spread there is at least one member of a minority and/or an African-American. More often then minority groups are represented more than once every two pages. This book represents us all and I feel that I have accomplished that. Finally, if you do not think you are in the book...you may be surprised. We are trying to capture everyone, but that is impossible with over seven thousand students. We have not allowed a person to be in the book too many times. I have also allowed people to submit pictures of themselves and friends. If you do so, I will be happy to put it in the book. I left room especially for that. A few other things that we have changed is the added copy and less white space. Who wants to look at a page of white space when we can fill it with pictures? I cannot undo what others have done in the past. I can change the future. My staff and I have successfully done so. Please feel free to call me and set an appointment with me and I will allow you to see the changes that I am making. I think you will love it. I realize that many students are not interested and think that $22.50 is too much. I simply think that a yearbook is a tangible, historic way of looking back into your college years in the future. If you are interested in ordering one call the yearbook office or my home and I will be happy to get your order in before it is too late. If you have any questions, concerns or would like to stop by and check out the changes please call me at 227-4388 (home) or 227-7440 (office). I will be happy to help you. PS. I promise the bell tower is in the book only once! Thank you, Margie Koch Editor in Chief Catamount Yearbook
