12 SJSU students and residents participated in Sexual Jeopardy, an event held Monday night at the Campus Village Resident Activity Center.
Resident adviser Steven Zeier said the event is a fun way to educate people about sex - the good and the bad things that come along with it - and different people's views of sex.
"Sexual Jeopardy is a program that (the resident advisers) are putting on for the residents of CVB and a couple of the buildings in the resident halls," senior accounting major Zeier said. "It's … a sexual education program to give residents an opportunity to learn more about sex."
The event was put together by five resident advisers of Campus Village Building B as one of their jobs as resident advisers, Zeier said.
The goal of the event was to get people to be more knowledgeable about sex and to build personal connections with those in the resident halls, Zeier said.
"Sex is a big topic for people here on campus," he said. "As a college student, (sex) is definitely in our eyes, and it's a normal practiced activity by a lot of students on campus. So it's better that people have the ability and the knowledge of how to practice safe sex compared to doing it, and all the wrong things that come along with it."
Students and residents split into three teams - team Alpha Phi Magnum, team Fuzzy Handcuffs and team Sassy Trashy.
Teams had to answer questions from categories such as sexually transmitted diseases, impaired sex, other cultures and values, myths, protection, types of sex, resources and American values.
Danny Faina, the winner of Sexual Jeopardy and an iPod Shuffle, said the event is a good resource for students.
"On a college campus sex is definitely a popular thing to do," said Faina, a senior graphic design major. "Everyone obviously enjoys it, so it's better to get the knowledge out there. That way, for people who are going to do it, they can make more educated decisions."
Faina said most of his knowledge of sex came from elementary school.
"I had sex education in fifth grade," he said. "Other than that, it's just random knowledge."
