| Program: Love Line Description: Panel
of "experts" answers questions about romance and sex. These questions can
be asked there, but most come from questions filled out anonomously and put into drawing
boxes in the previous weeks.
What you need:
1) Find some people to be on your panel. They could include:
A health center worker or a Doctor
A willing RA or hall staff member
A psychology professor.
A pastor
Pick a panel with diverse views and a good knowledge base. Select people who will
be willing to have fun during this exercise. It can get pretty crazy! :-)
2) Put up posters in the weeks prior. "LOVE LINE - Coming to (your residence
hall)" Be creative! Put boxes at the front desk and highly trafficked
areas with slips of paper for people to submit questions about: sex, love, STDs... again,
be creative!

Description:
This is a really easy program to do, but it's educational and fun at the same time. We
modeled a program after Mtv's Loveline. To give people the chance to ask anonymous
questions, we put a box at the front desk where everyone could drop their
embarrassing sexual questions. Our panel consisted of a 'Dr. Drew' (the sexual
health education coordinator from the campus health center) and an Adam Corolla type
character. Lots of students showed up to talk about sex. When the conversation was lagging
we would answer the anonymous questions, but many residents that attended
asked questions of their own. We passed out free condoms from the health
center, and played 'Let's Talk about Sex' as people came in. I thinked they really
learned a lot, and it gave the students a chance to ask embarrassing personal
questions.
Instructions/Things Needed:
-A medical-type, often available from your friendly local campus health center
-A jerk/Adam Corolla type, try freshman boys, or someone from the theatre department
-Free condoms or pizza always helps
