CFLE Creates Athletes for Sexual Responsibility Video

Sandra L. Caron, Ph.D., CFLE, has created a sexuality education video that compares talking about sex to talking about cooking. The tongue-in-cheek video is meant to convey a serious message about the need for better, more positive sexuality education. A Recipe for Disaster: Talking About Cooking the Way We Talk About Sex was written and produced by UMaine professor of family relations and human sexuality Sandra Caron and stars members of the student group Athletes for Sexual Responsibility, which Caron advises. The video can be viewed at https://umaine.edu/athletesforsexualresponsibility/
