HaveSexStandingUp^*com originated when we found out that almost one in five guys between the ages of 18 and 29 believes that doing it standing significantly decreases the risk of pregnancy. There was a lot of other scary stuff in the survey where that came from, so BEDSIDER asked spokesman Ray Stephens to set the record straight about sex and pregnancy—in his very special way.

Growing up in the suburbs of Washington DC, Ray was known to his classmates as “Time-Out Ray” for the many times he was put in time out for class outbursts. After graduating from college, which he attended on a wrestling scholarship, Ray began auditioning for local films. His talents extended to the stage, where he played the role of ‘Boogie’ in the limited run of Disgruntled People Who Sing and joined the critically-acclaimed ensemble cast of Nobody Likes Cats, a play written in response to CATS. Ray went on to star in several commercials and write three short films.

 

After getting kicked off the set of the Baltimore production The Wire for tackling an actor playing a drug dealer (Ray thought it was a real drug dealer), Ray tried out his chops as a spokesman for social causes that he felt (maybe too) strongly about.  In 2010, he became the official spokesman for HaveSexStandingUp^*com.  Ray is passionate about everything he does; everything. He is a true professional and accepts nothing less from the people with whom he comes into contact: that includes you—Ray expects you to have some freaking common sense about sex and reproduction.
