"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."

Illinois health department criticized for distributing flavored condoms

Posted by Condom Depot on 11/04/2004

Some Illinois lawmakers and government officials are criticizing the distribution of free flavored condoms by the state health department, saying the "exotic" condoms hamper efforts to promote abstinence, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. The department has spent about $115,000 in federal funds on the condoms since January and plans to purchase a total of 2.4 million for the year. Most are basic lubricated condoms. But about 360,000 are flavored condoms, in orange, lemon, grape, and cherry flavors. About 910,000 others are red, orange, green, and blue in color. Health department spokesman Tom Schafer says the flavored condoms were purchased because clients at health clinics in the state say they wanted the flavored products to use for oral sex. "The taste of lubricated condoms is such that they wouldn't encourage use," he said. Encouraging condom use for oral sex is important because studies have shown that rising syphilis rates in the state, particularly among gay and bisexual men, have been linked to oral sex and other unprotected sex acts.

But Republican lawmaker Steve Rauschenerger says he is "bothered" by the distribution of flavored or brightly colored condoms. He also said the unique condoms may encourage young people to have sex and undermine efforts in the state to promote abstinence as a way to prevent HIV, STDs, and unwanted pregnancies. "The concept of providing readily available condoms to prevent transmission of disease is one thing," he told the Sun-Times. "But when you're talking about French ticklers and attractive colors, it seems to border on enticement. If we're buying condoms, I'd expect us to buy Army-green, utilitarian, low-priced condoms for people who, for whatever reason, don't feel comfortable buying them on their own." He said he plans to demand that state health department officials show data showing that flavored condoms reduce sexually transmitted disease rates. Other state lawmakers said they were unaware flavored and colored condoms were being distributed by the health department but said they don't object to it if the costs are the same as distributing standard condoms.
