Wanking is safe and fun. This is news? Maybe everyone knows it, but it's worth repeating if you live in a country with a high HIV / AIDS rate.

A youth NGO in Botswana has launched a campaign offering young Batswana another option in preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS: masturbation.

The Youth Health Organisation (YOHO) in the capital, Gaborone, and the second city of Francistown, has been promoting the traditional 'ABC' prevention strategy, which focuses on abstinence, faithfulness and condoms, but have now said this approach was futile without an M for masturbation.

Botswana has the second highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rate in the world with over 35 percent of its 1.6 million people living with HIV/AIDS.

Vuyisile Otukile, a YOHO official, said the ABC approach had not helped to bring about behavioural change in young people, as the rate of infection was still high.


Note that 'ABC' is not abstinence only, and that ABC programs are credited with success in many countries, notably Uganda.

Looks like SG has to take a tour of Africa; these Canadian girls have sure got me avoiding AIDS.

ABC: abstinence, faithfulness, condoms.
Ok, I'm with you on the A and the C, but I think I took a wrong turn on the B part.

I think it's "Be faithful".

A Google search for Uganda and ABC returns many results showing how successful it's been for them. It's a shame it hasn't been so successful in other places. I hope that ABCM will work.

If I ever get the chance, I will ask my niece, who spent last year (the year after she graduated Princeton) in Uganda working on HIV/AIDS Prevention campaigns. I'll have to ask her about whether teenagers and young adults were learning their ABC's.

Sure, junior olympic pole vaulting may prevent you from getting aids or hiv, but what about the eventual society of blind men it may create? Won't somebody think of the children?!

Lap dancing is only a notch above wanking in this observer's humble opinion. Also, I understand that "Jack and Jill" clubs and parties are old hat here in the US of A.
