Multiple sex partners and unprotected sex is a sure way to catch diseases. Try this game to find out exactly how easy it is to get infected.
WHAT YOU NEED
Hershey’s Hugs & Kisses, Hershey’s Almond Kisses, index cards, pens, and a plastic bag for each player
TO BEGIN
1. In each player’s bag (except one), place 10 Hugs & Kisses chocolates and an unmarked card.
2. In one player’s bag, put 10 Almond Kisses and an unmarked card. Put a star (*) on the bottom of the bag with Almond Kisses.
3. Take two more cards and write on them the letter “C”. Place each card in two bags with Hugs & Kisses.
4. Write on a third card: Do not participate. When asked, the player with this card should say: “I do not want to exchange hugs and kisses with you.” Place the card in a bag with Hugs & Kisses and write the letter “A” on the bottom of the bag.
5. Write on two separate cards: “Do not participate with anyone other than your partner”. When asked, players with this card should say: “I do not want to exchange hugs and kisses with anyone other than my partner.” Place each card in two bags with Hugs & Kisses and write the letter “M” on the bottom of each bag.
TO PLAY
* Two players have to be partners. Give each of them the bags marked with an “M”.
* Hand out the other bags to the remaining players. Pull the card out from your bags and follow the instructions on it, if any.
* Then, take five minutes to exchange chocolates with one another. You should write on your cards the name of everyone from whom you received chocolates.
* You have five minutes to do so. Find out who got the most signatures.
* Then, ask the one player whose bag has a star (*) on the bottom to stand up. For the purpose of this exercise, the Almond Kisses represent HIV infection.
* Then, ask anyone who has an Almond Kiss in his or her bag to stand up. Because they exchanged Hugs & Kisses for Almond Kisses, they are infected with HIV too.
* Players who “abstained” from the game, or who were “monogamous” — having only one partner — were not infected with HIV.
