Sex and Cookies program raises discussion about relationships, sexuality

Nov. 18, 2011 – Sex and Cookies is a program run by medical, public health and social work students at UCLA that aims to teach undergraduate residents about safe sex. The “cookies” aspect ties in by creating a fun atmosphere for discussion about relationships and sexuality. A group of graduate students started Sex and Cookies in 2009 with help from David Gere, an associate professor in the world arts and culture program, and Dr. Gail Wyatt, a professor in the psychiatry and biobehavioral science program. Sex and Cookies has since expanded to include more than one hundred members who meet with undergraduates four or five times per quarter. [4:42]
