Encouraged the island groups youth to have orgiastic pre-marital sex (not really, but thats what the Wesleyans think I did) Dispelled infertility myths such as: my wife isnt getting pregnant because she washes her hands with cold water; and pregnancy myths like: you cant get pregnant the first time, and if you dont have a condom you can use a Doritos bag. 2009-2011
