i still don't understand the reasoning for them being called toothpaste...
Sex ed film written by four Texas teenagers
With at least six classmates pregnant, including the valedictorian with her second child, it was clear to a few girls at Mission High School more information was needed on safe sex.
So four students at this school along the Mexican border — where the teen pregnancy rate is among the highest in the nation — decided they could help send the message by making their own movie.
Two years later, the 16-minute educational film promoting condom use is available to public schools around the state. The movie, named "Toothpaste" in reference to a teen code word for condoms, has been ordered by schools around the country. It will also be shown at film festivals and on Showtime, according to the organization that helped produce the film.
"Hopefully, people will get something out of it," said Amanda Ramirez, one of the teens.
The script by Kristal Villarreal, Laura Coria, Gladys Sanchez and Ramirez won an annual contest by Scenarios USA, a national organization that works to educate teens about pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Professional directors, producers and camera operators helped polish the film. [The director is Ben Younger, who also directed Boiler Room.]
[...]The film is unusual because sex-education curriculum in Texas focuses on abstinence. Districts can discuss contraception in class, but the state advises against it. Most South Texas school districts do not.
The girls, all of whom are now attending college, said they would like to see Texas add information on contraceptives to its sex education policy.
"We're hoping not just the Valley, but hopefully the state will also realize the law they have — it's not working," said Ramirez, now a 19-year-old student at South Texas College.
I must be old. I don't remember condoms being called toothpaste back in the day.

Toothpaste
By Nick Parker
Sister Mila at the Mission says condoms are no good. She says that the rubber still has tiny holes in it, and that a man's fertility can still get through, and also AIDS. She says there is science. When I say what am I to do, Billy he is a man, he is wanting to lie with me all the time, she just smiles her big peaceful smile and says that to choose to not to lie down is the best way.
What's the second best way? I want to ask her, but I don't. It is a miracle everything in the world isn't leaking. Why don't they make condoms out of what they make the water pipes out of, if they don't want leakage? Ha! A big lead condom, that really would stop Billy wanting to lie down.
So I told Billy we cannot trust the condoms and he made a big show of being all disappointed, but I don't think he was, not really. He always says they suffocate him just when he needs to breathe the most. He talks some sometimes, he does. So I told him there would be no lying together until we'd got some way of making sure against babies. I told him there'd be no more standing up behind Ma Palatour's lean-to either, and that got him thinking pretty good.
So the next day Billy comes to me and he says he's got it! He says his brother and his girl have a way to stop babies and that it's as sure to work as the sun rising and setting. And that way they stop the babies is toothpaste.
Toothpaste? Billy I say, you are a crazy-man. Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do.
But he says no, seriously, it's the flouride. Flouride kills the baby-makingness of the sperm. There's science, he said. He'd even borrowed a tube off his brother, to make sure that he'd got the right one. Only Colgate would protect against babies, he said. He held up the tube of toothpaste while he said this, and grinned, like a man in a commercial advertising anti-baby toothpaste.
And it would sure taste good, too, he said, grinning his big crazy grin even bigger. Minty fresh, oh yes.
You crazy -talker, Billy, I said, as we lay down.
So big surprise, huh? Now I got me a baby, and Billy has to go to the city to get work. I know it was that time because the toothpaste stung like crazy and we didn't lie down again for weeks. Billy said for days after when he brushed his teeth it made him wince and cross his legs.
The worse thing is, when I lean over and kiss my baby, I swear to you she smells of mint.
Sister Mila, she don't know about how mysterious God's been moving round these parts. No way she don't.
silly kids, they should've just had her with coke.
i was reading in my magazine yesterday that champagne baths are bad for the ladies too...as sugar and alcohol disrupt the PH balance of the coochie. good to know.
WTF? Champagne baths? If it ain't soap and water doing the cleaning I am pretty sure it ain't good for the "coochie".
What a waste of champagne. I'd rather drink it.
saw that as well...it was in Maxim.i was reading in my magazine yesterday that champagne baths are bad for the ladies too...as sugar and alcohol disrupt the PH balance of the coochie. good to know.
Whatever happened to the good old days of "hey...gotta rubber?"
i'm sure plenty of guys have drank champagne out of a coochie...What a waste of champagne. I'd rather drink it.
That is so re ed. ugh!
Actually, soap ususally isn't good for that area either - it's another thing that will mess up your pH supposedly, which is why they make specifically "feminine washes" - but most soaps aren't so big a deal that you need to worry. Douching on the other hand really is bad for the "coochie" because it will all kinds of upset your pH which sets you up for all kinds of infection, etc.WTF? Champagne baths? If it ain't soap and water doing the cleaning I am pretty sure it ain't good for the "coochie".
What a waste of champagne. I'd rather drink it.
This is what happens when you get your sex ed. in AP biology.
