I recall reading something about cities where abstinence is taught and nothing is mentioned of contraceptives. Those places seem to have the highest percentage of kids procreating and spawning more kids. Gee I guess it would be a bad idea to perhaps...I dunno.....give those kids condoms and teach them how to use them? Yeah ...totally evil.
to the OP...remember the story of the UK kid who was a father at 10? it turned out he wasnt the father---but you know what? he thought he was!!! so he must have had sex! i say great for the co. to make them in these sizes. i don't want to imagine my son being that young and having sex, but i sure will be glad there will be a condom for him---that will fit properly, keep him safe from any possible STD's and keep him from becoming a father before he is ready!

Watch for a new thread on the sex ed controversy and the latest findings about what works and what doesn't. I'll need help digging through fact and fiction. It's not as simple as one side being right and the other being wrong...
I think the saddest part of this story is that there is such a "need" for this and that so many people just casually accept it and joke about it. What is happening to the world that noone wants to properly parent, teach, mentor, guide our children to delay this sort of thing - to value and help protect an innocence that once gone is gone forever. What a cold world we live in.
It's better marketing to say it's for boys as young as 12 than to say it's for men with a small penis. And men with a small penis, no matter how old they are, need condoms if they are going to have sex.
For some reason, I just can't picture a 12 year old boy saying to an 11 or 12 year old girl, "Hold on, I have to put a condom on so you don't get pregnant.".

More power to them if it works, but I think the maturity level of 11 and 12 is just not there.
If they had birth control for boys, my boys would be on it as soon as the doctor said they were old enough for it. Seriously. And I have good boys who aren't the ones people would normally worry about. As far as I know, boys don't have the option of birth control shots, pills, or anything else - so condoms are probably the best option for them. I'd much rather educate and supply my kids about and with condoms than have an angry father show up on my doorstep some day saying his daughter is knocked-up and she's saying one of our sons is the daddy! How I wish there was some kind of child-safe on/off switch that only parents could flip for reproductive juices in their kids... terrifying, really, this whole subject matter.

Ceece, we've seen that guy. Using duct tape to help the condom stay on.
Once thing everyone has to remember is that Europe, in general, is much more open about sex than the U.S. is. This isn't surprising at all IMHO.
