Saturdays with Shal, Valentine's Day Special

Hey Daniels, the weekend that is Saturday is finally here! To continue Wellness Month with Saturdays with Shal, I wanted to wish you all an early Happy Valentine’s Day. I’ve been excited to write this post for a while (you’ll think I’m weird to be excited about it in a sec), and knew attaching it to Feb. 14th was perfect. Do you have that special someone in your life? Making special plans for V-Day? If you can’t make it to our AVSSU Coffee with the Profs event, or spending it alone (Singles Awareness Day same), then I’m sure Tuesday night might be an important *night* for you two. That’s why I wanted to talk about Safe Sex today…... “Let’s talk about sex ba-by let’s talk about you and me.” Really hoping I locked that sucker down in your brain the rest of the day. But in all seriousness, safe sex is definitely something that more students should be educated on. It all starts with our very own U of T resources, this friend, the Sexual Education Centre (SEC) -> http://sec.sa.utoronto.ca . Not only do they have an extensive catalogue of online resources, they also have free safe sex supplies, such as "latex and latex free condoms, lubricants, nitrile gloves, dental dams, and much more.” (sec.sa.utoronto.ca). I should probably caps that word FREE to get your attention. Too shy to go get some? Not to worry, your pal Shal has ordered a bulk order for 665 and it should arrive sometime this week! They also provide resources for you, such as sexual health clinics, HIV/AIDS resources, abortion resources, sexual assault information and counselling, and LGBT resources. I’ve provided links below. Kinda new to all this stuff? Hey that’s cool, you can phone this number (416) 978-8732 to help you answer any questions you may have with regards to sex, sexuality, and sexual health in a welcoming, non-judgmental, and sex-positive environment. Or come in person to 21 Sussex Avenue, Suite #612. Oh, one more thing before I go! I’ve also provided a scholarly article on long-distance relationships for all my friends out there that are in one. Great read, hit it up. That’s it for this weekend, can’t wait to see you Wednesday. Keep it classy, Daniels (especially Tuesday).
