Safer Sex Promotion For The Video Game Generation

The Leicestershire division of the UK’s Teen Pregnancy Partnership put out this wonderfully nerdy safer sex promotion video (below). Often, youth-targeted safer sex messages come off as condescending, preachy, or just plain silly (words ending in “z” anyone?). I think this organization hit the right note with this one. Enjoy, Robot Masters!

    Wow, that’s amazing! Mega man was my favorite game growing up, and that is a perfect mash-up of safer sex messages with video game content.
