It's Your Call - Making Sexual Decisions

an interactive site
to help you make decisions that are right for you


(based on the software - "It's Your Call - Making Sexual Decisions")

Introduction

Within these scenarios - drawn from real life situations - your job is to examine all the issues and questions that relate to the scenarios and then try to come up with more than one option that you think would be workable.

Use the information in this program along with your own values to make a decision that would be best for you if you were in that kind of situation.

HINT: Just as in real life, if you make a decision without thinking about your values and consulting all the relevant background information, you risk making a decision that isn't best for you. Your may want to jot down some notes as you go along.

When you've read the scenario, use the navigation bar on the left to explore the issues, then return to the scenario and type in your suggestions in the text box and the reasons for them. Your answers will not be recorded, but you can print them if you wish.
