Smarte rSex.

SmarterSex.org was created with the special needs of college students in mind.

Statistics show that men and women ages 18-24 face tough challenges when it comes to sex. College-aged men and women account for the highest percentage of new sexually transmitted infections cases, and generally, women in this age group have the highest number of unintended pregnancies in the U.S.

In June 2002, The BACCHUS Network™ conducted a survey of students ages 18-24 to determine their attitudes and knowledge about sex. Some of the findings were surprising and others were encouraging. But clearly, more information and education about safe and smart sex is needed.

In response to this need, BACCHUS created SmarterSex.org, an exciting and one-of-a-kind sexual health web site for college students. Our hope is that this will encourage not only students, but also educators and parents, to discuss and learn from each other about smart sex.

Year round, BACCHUS peer educators from campuses across the nation provide college students with information and opportunities to learn healthy sexual habits - and SmarterSex.org will make their task easier. Working side by side with students, the goal is to show students that they can make good decisions about sexual health. With even more education, we can turn the tide on sexual issues that can change a young person's future forever.
