Were high school students really encouraged to use honey and syrup as a lubricant?

Did “B.A.R.T.” really say high school students should use maple syrup and honey as a lubricant? What is “B.A.R.T.”?

Why would anybody use maple syrup and honey as a lubricant? It is sticky. Wouldn’t this defeat the purpose of using a lubricant? I sure hope high school students are not being given such bad advice about lubricants.

It says what it is in the same paragraph as it says about the honey:

“B.A.R.T.” = they were too lazy to write out “Becoming A Responsible Teen.”

Having once been an eager teenage participant in conjugational congress, lack of lubricity was never an issue. :smiley:
Save all of the syrups for 9½ Weeks reenactors. :stuck_out_tongue:

Jelly, honey, and syrup sound more like things that one would lick off one’s partner than things that one would use to facilitate intercourse with one’s partner. Perhaps it’s been misinterpreted. I’d hope so. I don’t think vaginas get along well with sugary things, though I fortunately have no personal experience in the matter.

Heh. If its being misinterpreted there are a lot of very confused, disturbed teens in need of a shower out there.

BART is actually a program (not a pamphlet) that was recommended by the CDC as one of several programs that produced favorable results such as delayed sexual activity, safer sexual practices, etc. vs. a control group who did not participate.

You can read about what it was and how it was evaluated here:

My high school had a program fairly similar to the one described and we were told that whipped cream (and anything made of oil/fat) was not condom friendly as part of it. Water-based lubricants were suggested as well as honey, jam, etc. for playtime if one so desired.
