I was so embarrassed that I didn’t have this basic knowledge.

I attended a school where our health ed teacher wasn’t even allowed to bring in condoms. She literally drew a picture of one on the board. When I got to college, I had never even seen a condom outside its wrapper. As a resident advisor, it was my job to stock boxes of condoms on our floor. I always did and one week I finally decided to go and take one into my room just to open it and see what it looked like. I was so embarrassed that I didn’t have this basic knowledge. Thank goodness I was able to seek out resources to learn more about how to actually use them when that became relevant soon after, but if I have been in a different college environment or needed them at an earlier age, I would not have known how to protect myself.
