Seniors In Miami got a lot to think about at a health fair on the dangers of unprotected sex. The day long event at the
Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center highlighted the risks of unprotected sex.

During the past decade, AIDS cases among those 50 and older have risen by 500 percent, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nationally, about one in 10 Americans diagnosed with AIDS are 50 years or older.

A group of seniors from the center produced an animated 12-minute Claymation video in which two seniors, Morty and Ethel, find romance at a dance, and eventually discuss taking the relationship to the bedroom.

Julie Chesley, 83, one of the producers of the video, Sex and the Seniors, said she wanted to get the message out about taking precautions after reading about the rise of sexually transmitted diseases among those over 50.

The group wrote the script, built the sets and sculpted the characters from clay, including a character who brags about her sexy cleavage and her dyed blonde locks. The animated figures openly talk about using condoms, how soon to have sex when dating, and getting checked for STDs.
