About Climax Control Condoms

"It's a tantra master wrapped in foil, the antidote to impatient passion. Two lines of "climax control" condoms that contain a mild anethetic, Benzocaine, promise men the sort of self-restraint that once required tantric meditation or at least a distracting thought or two during sex.

HPV Information

Genital HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Human papillomavirus is the name of a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types. More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), or anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, or rectum. Most people who become infected with HPV will not have any symptoms and will clear the infection on their own.

Center of Disease Control Male Latex Condom Fact Sheet

In June 2000, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), convened a workshop to evaluate the published evidence establishing the effectiveness of latex male condoms in preventing STDs, including HIV. A summary report from that workshop was completed in July 2001 (http://www.niaid.nih.gov/ dmid/stds/condomreport.pdf). This fact sheet is based on the NIH workshop report and additional studies that were not reviewed in that report or were published subsequent to the workshop (see link for additional references). Most epidemiologic studies comparing rates of STD transmission between condom users and non-users focus on penile-vaginal intercourse.

Condoms: Barriers to Bad News

What do condoms have in common with toothpaste and toilet paper?

Not enough, according to Adam Glickman, owner of the Condomania stores in New York and Los Angeles. Glickman, who has sold condoms by the millions to individuals and organizations such as the Peace Corps and Planned Parenthood, says condoms should be viewed as ordinary, like toothpaste and toilet paper. "People have gotten past asking, 'Isn't brushing my teeth every morning a hassle?' Given the world we live in, wearing condoms is something you just have to do, like brushing your teeth. The stakes are too high."

Reject ban on condoms

Posted by Condom Depot on 06/10/2005

It is difficult to understand how the Louisiana House of Representatives would eliminate, without discussion or debate, the state's cheapest activity to prevent a terminal and tragic but preventable disease.

But that's what happened when lawmakers adopted an amendment to the state budget offered by Rep. Gary Beard, R-Baton Rouge. It forbids the Office of Public Health from using federal dollars to buy and distribute condoms.

Perhaps Beard and other members have personal religious compunctions about the use of contraception. But we don't know of any responsible authority in the world of public health who does not favor the use of condoms to reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

"The House believes that the state doesn't need to be in the condom distribution business," Beard said.

That is one of the most head-in-the-sand statements heard in the Legislature in a long time.

It is particularly sad that a Baton Rouge representative would offer this proposal. Baton Rouge's leaders, public and private, have worked hard to promote a wide-ranging campaign against HIV/AIDS. Our city is per capita first in the state and one of the highest in the nation in the rate of new infections. While part of that is caused by needles used by drug addicts, some of it is the result of unprotected sex, whether under the influence of drugs or not.

We encourage the Senate, which now has the budget bill, to remove Beard's amendment and authorize the Office of Public Health to exercise common sense and good judgment.

Condom distribution "is something that's saving lives," argued Eugene Collins, director of education and prevention at the Baton Rouge AIDS Society.

The Beard amendment should be rejected.
