Back in the late eighties , a curious indigenous sex education group call the2 Spirits Project , along with Queensland Health in Australia , launch a comic Christian Bible serial chronicle the exploits of Condoman — a superhero whose sole role was to raise consciousness about the peril of not practicing secure sex . Now , several decades later , the comedian has been revived — and Condoman has a new better half : The awe-inspiring Lubelicious .
This news fare to us via Amber Frost of Dangerous Minds , wholauds the effort to preach for safe sex among Australia ’s indigenous youth :
It ’s actually a really telling campaign . It ’s cognisant enough to do it that 1 ) secure sex cause necessitate to be tailor-make to specific community , especially with regard to race and grade , and 2 ) safe sex run need to embark on with age group that are belike not yet having sexual practice . As some one from abstention - only middle America , it ’s a little mind - muck up to see such a plainspoken effort to destigmatize young - based sex education .
And indeed , the first wave of the campaign was so well - received that a 2d issue has been released with an updated look . And as noted above , Condoman now has a partner in Lubelicious .
From the QAHC Healthy Communitieswebsite :
This laughable book is the first clip we see a range of new characters- in particular Lubelicious , who helps Condoman to fight a range of Sexually Transmitted Infections ( STI ’s ) in endemic residential area across Queensland . Lubelicious represents the image of a strong Indigenous adult female who promotes the exercise of water base lubricant . Together with Condoman , they defend STI ’s and gainsay the ignominy of talk about sexual health .
Also this is the first time we see a routine of novel characters representing STI ’s including :
HIV , Syphillis , Gonorrhoea , Chlamydia , HPV , Hepatitis B and C , Herpes .
Stigmalien – the drawing card of the STI ’s represent the brand attached to living with STI ’s or being tested for STI ’s .
To put up the Comic Book 2 , a range of suits have been build up to bring to spirit the characters . Many mass would have seen Condoman at a reach of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander event across Queensland . Now suits for Lubelicious , and the STI grapheme are avaialble , which will extend the compass of the characters beyond the Comic Book .
