The Hookup, the fabulous service that delivers sex info and life advice to your phone each week via text message was featured on LA’s ABC7 on Monday night. You can watch the video on TeenSource:
The Hookup: Sex Education for Teens via Text Message According to the teens in the video, the Hookup is popular because it’s confidential, easy to use, unbiased, and fits into teens’ busy lives. We couldn’t agree more! Plus, it’s free, anyone can use it (guys too!), and you can use the Hookup to find a clinic near you by texting in your zip code. Adults interviewed in the video agreed that teens should be able to learn more about sex. One woman interviewed thought that parents should be more involved in helping their kids learn the basics.

And yes guys, even though the piece focuses mainly on the need for young women to protect themselves from HIV and STDs – you need to protect yourselves too!
