Something Positive to Say?

"The problem is, Karen, you don't have a product."

This pronouncement came from my brother-in-law. He pointed out that "the other side" sells stuff --- condoms, birth control, abortions, etc. --- while we are promoting a behavior.

It's an obvious but very astute observation. How do you "sell" sexual self-control? Oh sure, we have the DVD "Everyone Lies About Sex" but it's mainly an introduction to the concept.

How DO you sell the behavior of "impulse control?" Seems pretty tricky. But just because something is hard, doesn't mean it can't be done!

So, here's the plan. To help us come up with a product...

Positively Waiting is sponsoring a T-Shirt Design Contest

We're looking for positive, pithy designs we can put on a T-shirt. The kind of design that makes people stop and think.. and hopefully start a discussion.

Maybe something like:

• Resisting temptation today to be faithful tomorrow.
• Hookups are temporary. Friends are forever.
• Smile if you controlled our passion today

Every useable design will win a pass to Skateland or Mountasia The 3 best designs plus the people who referred the most designers will win awards on Saturday, October 3rd. 2009.

Deadline for submissions is Sept. 25th 2009.
