Canadian high schoolers given pornographic book, wooden penises, condoms for sex ed

A Canadian High School sent students home with condoms, wooden penises, and a sexually explicit pornographic book about gay sex as part of its sex education curriculum, according to Reduxx.

The incident occurred at Virden Collegiate Institute in Manitoba, Canada.

Janine Stephanie Penner, the mother of one of the teen students who received the items, documented the controversy in a Facebook post on Feb. 19. Penner explained that her son in grade 10 was given a "gay porn graphic flip book at school as a method of learning how to use condoms and in addition, received 15 condoms and a wooden pecker for practice."

The book distributed to students is called, "Who’s Got The Condom?", according to Penner. Both the front and back of the book include a sexually graphic image of an older male laying nude with a condom on and a younger male, also nude, about to engage in a sex act.

Although the book is meant to serve as a resource for condom education, the majority of the pages are blank of text, directions, or any other information. Instead, the flip book is filled with illustrations that merely depict a sequence of increasing motions in which the younger man masturbates the elder man. It then introduces a condom.

The book then shows the two male individuals having sex. The younger male climbs on top of the elder male and they begin to thrust, according to the book.



Reduxx reports that the book was created in collaboration with the "2-Spirited People of the First Nations," and Canada’s leading HIV and Hepatitis C information charity, also known as CATIE.

The book is characterized as "graphically [modeling] condom use between two men" CATIE's website.

In addition to the book, students received wooden penises and a handful of condoms to practice safe sex.
