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."

Teenagers 'still avoid condoms'

Posted by Condom Depot on 05/19/2005

Teenagers are confused over sexually transmitted infections
Teenagers are putting themselves at risk by inconsistent and incorrect use of condoms, a study says.

Only about a third of those aged 16 to 18 used condoms regularly, the sexual health charity Brook found.

The study also showed some were not using condoms properly and were using them only as a form of contraception, rather than to prevent infections.

Researchers called for sex and relationships education to become a compulsory part of the curriculum.

Teenagers are confused over sexually transmitted infections
Teenagers are putting themselves at risk by inconsistent and incorrect use of condoms, a study says.

Only about a third of those aged 16 to 18 used condoms regularly, the sexual health charity Brook found.

The study also showed some were not using condoms properly and were using them only as a form of contraception, rather than to prevent infections.

Researchers called for sex and relationships education to become a compulsory part of the curriculum.

Two thirds of the 1,300 teenagers surveyed said school was among their top three most important sources of information on sexually transmitted infections.

"This is extremely worrying, and helps explain the huge rises in STIs across the UK " - Terrence Higgins Trust spokesman

All secondary schools are required to include sex education as part of their teaching programme, but there are no rules over the content, leading to complaints that the lessons are too biological.

Brook chief executive Jan Barlow said Britain's sexual health problems - in the last eight years gonorrhoea and chlamydia have rocketed among teenagers - would not go away until the problem was tackled "head-on".

"This report should focus the minds of everyone who cares about the sexual health of young people today.

"Condoms are the only way for sexually active young people to protect themselves from STIs," she said.

Condoms

"Although most young people do now use condoms at least some of the time, the majority are still putting themselves at risk by using them inconsistently and sometimes incorrectly."

The survey found huge gaps in teenagers' knowledge about STIs.

More than half thought chlamydia affected only women, while a similar number did not know that emergency contraception could be taken up to 72 hours after having sex.

A third thought STIs could be caught from a lavatory seat.

A spokesperson for Terrence Higgins Trust said: "This is extremely worrying, and helps explain the huge rises in STIs across the UK.

"It is clear that we need to do much more to support young people in avoiding sexual ill-health, and that has to start with better quality sex education.

"We need to discuss relationships as well as the mechanics of sex if we are to help young people protect themselves."

Campaign on way

A Department of Health spokeswoman said sexual health was a priority.

"We are working to prevent people getting sexual transmitted infections in the first place and will shortly be launching a major public information campaign.

"We are also keen to improve access to sexual health care services, offering people more convenient options for getting screening and testing, including further education colleges and private pharmacies on the high street."

But the Department for Education and Skills said there were no plans to alter government guidance to schools on sex education, saying it was up to head teachers to decide on the content.
