One-dollar condom roses and $10 condom bouquets made of pink and red packaged condoms attracted students to the National Condom Day booth midday Monday in the Library Quad.

The Student Health Center teamed up with the Students Taking Action Against Student Dependency to set up a booth to educate students about safe sex, said Melinda Posas, student intern for the health center.

The booth ?” which included a spin-the-wheel educational trivia and a tub of colored lubricants for a guessing game ?” was out just in time for National Condom Day.

Cyndra Krogen, health educator at the health center said, Valentine’s Day coincides with National Condom Day not by accident.

“We’re trying to promote safer sex practices using latex condoms or abstinence,” Krogen said.

Another way for students to stay safe while partaking in intimate activities is by practicing “outercourse,” which includes mutual masturbation and erotic massage, Krogen said.

The booth educated students by engaging them in a spinning wheel game where questions on topics such as sexual health, safer sex, sexual assault and birth control were asked, Krogen said. Students who got the questions right received prizes.

The main lure of the booth was the condom roses for sale, Posas said. She said the booth sold at least 150 of the latex floral arrangements.
