Source: plannedparenthoodThis blew our minds when we saw it, so to celebrate the release of The Amazing Spiderman, we just had to share: way back in the 1970s, Marvel Comics teamed up with Planned Parenthood on a comic book that pitted Spiderman against a villain who was out to give teens the wrong information about sex. And we all know there’s nothing that Spiderman hates more than the spread of medically inaccurate information! Check it out.

HHS Endorses Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage-Curriculum
What’s NOT a good way to recognize the National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy? Endorsing abstinence-only-until-marriage education programs. Unfortunately, HHS did just that. We need medically-accurate, age-appropriate, and non-judgmental sexuality education in our schools. Not programs that perpetuate misinformation, ignore condoms and contraception, and ostracize LGBT youth!

"If you’re gonna have pizza with someone else, what do you have to do? You gotta talk about what you want. Even if you’re going to have the same pizza you always have, you say, ‘We getting the usual?’ Just a check in. And square, round, thick, thin, stuffed crust, pepperoni, stromboli, pineapple — none of those are wrong; variety in the pizza model doesn’t come with judgment. So ideally when the pizza arrives, it smells good, looks good, it’s mouthwatering. Wouldn’t it be great if we had that kind of anticipation before sexual activity, if it stimulated all our senses, not just our genitals but this whole-body experience. And what’s the goal of eating pizza? To be full, to be satisfied. That might be different for different people; it might be different for you on different occasions. Nobody’s like ‘You failed, you didn’t eat the whole pizza.’"
