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."

'Condom fatigue' may be behind STI rise: UBC

    Posted by Condom Depot on 09/20/2007

New numbers suggest the message about the importance of safe sex may not be getting through to students. University of British Columbia health officials have observed a disturbing increase in sexually transmitted infections.


New numbers suggest the message about the importance of safe sex may not be getting through to students.

University of British Columbia health officials have observed a disturbing increase in sexually transmitted infections.

"We're seeing an increase in the number of Chlamydia cases, and human papilloma virus (HPV) cases are a good example as well," Dr. Patricia Mirwaldt, director of UBC Student Health Services, told CTV News.

Over the past 10 years, the number of Chlamydia cases in B.C. has more than doubled from 4,000 in 1997 to a staggering 9,000 last year, according to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control.

Most alarming is the fact that the greatest increase occurred in 15 to 24-year-old women, an age group in which, if left untreated, the disease could result in life-long infertility.

The highest rates of gonorrhea were found in men aged 20 to 29. "We have a lot of students coming in and asking to be tested to see whether they have STIs," said Mirwaldt.

'Condom fatigue'

The increase has health professionals calling the phenomenon a hidden epidemic, and leaves them wondering if the rise is partly due to "condom fatigue".

According to UBC, one way to encourage safe sex is to give out free condoms. With a donation of 25,000 contraceptives by manufacturer Trojan Condoms, the university will distribute them at its residences and student health sciences clinic.

It's hoped that easy access will make the decision to use them easier for students.

"(We) certainly want to make sure anyone who has interest will be able to access condoms," said Mirwaldt. "Access to condoms shouldn't be a barrier."

With a report from CTV British Columbia's Dr. Rhonda Low
