Materials: Hand out “Sexual Risks: Myth or Fact?” Time: 40-50 minutes Procedure: Tell the group that we will play a game to see how much “myth information” the group has about risks associated with sexual activity. “Myth" refers to untrue information that is passed around like fact. Some myths may have accurate information, but generally they are not true. Instructions for the activity: Two teams will draw statements, from the container, about sexual activity and its possible risks. Teams must decide whether each statement is a fact or a myth. Teams will receive one point for each correct answer. If the team can explain why a statement is true or a myth, they will get a bonus point. Divide the group into two teams and ask them to come up with team names. Create a score sheet, with two columns, on the board or newsprint. Have a team member draw a statement and read it aloud. Ask “Is that a myth or a fact?” then remind the player to confer with her or his team. If the answer is correct, record one point on the score sheet. Ask for an explanation of the statement and award a bonus point if the explanation is correct. Allow for discussion of the statement and provide additional information, if appropriate, from the Leader's Resource. Alternate teams until all statements have been discussed or each player has played. Briefly cover any remaining statements and conclude the activity using the Discussion Points.

It is impossible for a woman to conceive a child while she is already Pregnant Answer:.Fact. Yes she can! It’s called Superfetation, and although it’s rare, it’s been documented a few times among humans. 2. Pulling out can prevent Pregnancy and the spread of STDs. Answer: Myth.Coitus interruptus (“pulling out”) is not a safe method to prevent unwanted Pregnancies or in preventing the spread of STDs. Many men are NOT able to withdraw on Time, and pre ejaculatory fluid can contain sperm from previous ejaculations. 27% of women who rely on this method pregnant during the first year of use. 3.Anal intercourse is a risk-free way for women to avoid pregnancy and STDs. Answer: Myth. This is a particularly dangerous myth, since engaging in anal intercourse is one of the easiest ways to spread HIV infection and some other STDs. Because the anus is not as elastic as the vagina and is not lubricated, it can tear more easily, allowing viruses and bacteria to be transmitted directly to the blood of a partner. It is possible for a female to become pregnant from anal sex if semen from the male's ejaculation seeps out and gets into the opening of her vagina. If two people are going to have anal intercourse, they must use a lubricated latex condom to reduce the risks of disease.

A girl can become pregnant if she has unprotected intercourse before she has her first menstrual period. Answer: Fact. Before a girl's first period, her ovaries release the first ovum, or egg, during ovulation. She can become pregnant if she has unprotected intercourse around the time of her first ovulation, before she ever has her first menstrual period. She also risks getting an STD, whether she has menstruated or not. 5. Abstinence is the only method of contraception that is 100 percent risk free. Answer: Fact. Avoiding sexual intercourse of any kind (oral anal and vaginal), is the only way to absolutely avoid pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease, including HIV infection. Practicing abstinence does not require giving up all sexual contact, but, it does mean expressing sexual feelings in ways other than having intercourse of any kind. 6. Having sexual intercourse with a woman who has no symptoms of STD means there is no risk of getting a sexually transmitted disease or HIV infection. Answer: Myth. Absolutely not! Having unprotected sex with a female who has no symptoms of STD/ HIV still puts her partner at risk for STD/HIV. While some STDs, such as herpes, have visible symptoms in both males and females, others, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, typically show no symptoms in females and may also show no symptoms in males. HIV infection may occur in both genders with no symptoms of the disease for 10 years or longer.

A woman does not risk pregnancy if she has unprotected sexual intercourse while she is menstruating. Answer: Myth. It seems like a female could not get pregnant during her period because her last ovulation was about 14 days before menstrual flow and she shouldn't ovulate again until 10 to 14 days after her period. But pregnancy is possible at any time, even when a girl or woman is menstruating. Females, especially teens, sometimes ovulate unexpectedly, and may even ovulate during their periods. Stress, illness and other factors can bring on ovulation outside of the normal cycle. To avoid pregnancy and STD/HIV, girls and women must use protection when having intercourse at any time, including during a menstrual period. 8. Oral contraceptives (the pill) increase the risk of cancer in women. Answer: Myth. There are side effects for some users of the pill, such as nausea, breast tenderness, headaches and slight weight gain. These are minimal today compared to the side effects of earlier oral contraceptives in the 1960s and 1970s, primarily due to the lower dosage of estrogen in today's pill. There are also health risks for women on the pill who smoke, are over 35, are overweight or have high blood pressure or diabetes. There is no evidence, however, that the pill increases the risk of cancer. In fact, it may reduce the risk of some forms of cancer.

Once a person has had gonorrhea and been cured, she or he is not at risk of contracting it again. Answer: Myth. A person can get gonorrhea and other STDs repeatedly. It is very important for anyone who is treated for gonorrhea (or any other sexually transmitted disease) to make sure that her or his sexual partners are treated as well. 10. Latex condoms substantially reduce the risk of pregnancy and STDs, including HIV infection. Answer: Fact. Latex condoms are not 100 percent effective, but after abstinence, they are the most effective way of preventing STDs including HIV infection. In addition, if used correctly, latex condoms will prevent pregnancy about 80 percent of the time. 11. A woman who is nursing a baby still runs the risk of pregnant if she has sex without using protection. Answer: Fact. A few women who breast feed and give their baby no other formula or food may not ovulate and, therefore, will not become pregnant again until after nursing That is not true for all or even most nursing women. Breast-feeding cannot be relied on for pregnancy prevention, and it does nothing to protect a woman from STD/HIV.
