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."

Study: Condoms offer HPV protection

Posted by Condom Depot on 07/12/2006

A U.S. study shows the use of a condom while having sex can reduce a woman's risk of acquiring the virus that causes cervical cancer by up to 70 percent.

A vaccine, Gardasil, that provides nearly 100 percent protection against cervical cancer has been approved in the United States but scientists say people will still need to use condoms since the vaccine only protects against some strains of human papillomavirus that cause cervical cancer, newscientist.com reported Tuesday.

WASHINGTON, June 27 (UPI) -- A U.S. study shows the use of a condom while having sex can reduce a woman's risk of acquiring the virus that causes cervical cancer by up to 70 percent.

A vaccine, Gardasil, that provides nearly 100 percent protection against cervical cancer has been approved in the United States but scientists say people will still need to use condoms since the vaccine only protects against some strains of human papillomavirus that cause cervical cancer, newscientist.com reported Tuesday.

But there are more than 100 HPV strains and Gardasil targets only four of them, with other strains also capable of causing cervical cancer.

Although some studies suggested condoms do not offer HPV protection, the latest research -- the most detailed to date -- finds condoms markedly reduce the risk, newscientist.com reported.

Proponents of sexual abstinence until marriage and others have been demanding the FDA add a warning to condom labels about a potential lack of protection against HPV transmission.

"We're hoping the findings of the paper will dissipate this pressure," said Markus Steiner of Family Health International, who co-wrote a commentary accompanying the study that appears in the New England Journal of Medicine.
