"There was a wave of sexual assaults last year so I decided that I wanted to address sexual violence with a visual testimony," she said.

Students traveled up and down the tables spanning Heritage Hall, picking up free condoms and information on free HIV/AIDS testing.

Alison Kelly (freshman-film) said she was required to attend the Sex Faire for her women's studies class, but she felt more knowledgeable about sex when she left.

"I know there is a lot of sexual activity on campus, and if people are going to have sex, they need to be informed about the possible consequences," she said.

Students also listened to clinician, health educator and former Penn State student who has HIV, Tom Donohue.

Donohue started the non-profit organization Who's Positive to offer insight into the life of HIV-positive youth.

His speech was followed by a series of "Straight Talks" by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allied (LGBTA) members, and live music by acoustic guitarist Tal Peretz.

Molly MacDonald (freshman-psychology) said that being able to see actual pictures and brochures really brings sexual awareness into perspective.

"We got to see how to correctly put on a condom which a lot of people don't know how to do," she said. "You should want to be informed about sex."

Addie Dunn (senior-women's studies) said the Sex Faire is important because a majority of Penn State students do not get the information they need to have safe sexual relations.

"There is a very high number of sexually transmitted diseases here, and we're trying to curb that," she said. "You don't know as much as you think you do, and people should always be aware of what is going on with their bodies."
