Switzerland Sells Condoms For Boys


In an effort to control teenage pregnancy and the transmission of STDs, Switzerland is now selling Hot Shot -- a condom designed for boys as young as 12. The condoms are the same length as an average sheath, but smaller in diameter.

ABC News reports:
According to company spokesperson Nysse Norballe these smaller condoms make a big difference.

"They said they had found out that those for teenagers and also for other target groups ... they are very often too large and will roll off," Ms Norballe said.

She says although the name could be misunderstood as encouraging young boys to be sexually active, it is targeted more for adults.

"They are not going to ask for a condom which is a normal size or even a size small," Ms Norballe said.

"However, they will have no problem going in and asking for a Hot Shot. That has a positive influence on their self-esteem."

The Hot Shot is only available in Switzerland, where last year a young couple made headlines when they became parents at 13 and 14.
Perhaps if those condoms were around 10 years ago, this mess wouldn't be playing out in court and Sisqo wouldn't be a wanted man.

I don't approve of this, but these little whoreboys are out there screwing around anyway so at least give them an education and the tools needed on how to protect themselves.
