MINI CONDOM FOR LITTLE BOYS

The mini condom for young boys. Designed with the cub scout in mind.

Going to hell in a handbasket I figure. The premature sexualization of our children drops another rung in trend-setting Germany and Switzerland. It is completely surreal to say that the story is true and in mainstream media. WHY is it there? That is what I want to know. Just the fake add for the Sesame Street condoms is not.

Amidst statistics that show rising numbers of kids ~ yes, little kids ~ are having unprotected sex a Swiss company has introduced an itsy-bitsy child-sized condom for penises ages 12-14. And it's called "the Hotshot." Omg, adorable. Doesn't that just make sex sound like FUN, like a goal scoring soccer star or whatever? The Hotshot is aimed at boys as young as 12. The new mini-prophylactics will be sold in packages alongside regular-size options in case the wearer, well the others don't fit.

Family-planning and anti-AIDS advocacy groups pressed for the kid-friendly option after studies in Switzerland showed that teens were having unprotected sex. The new condoms will be 1.7 inches in diameter, compared to the 2-inch standard condoms. (According to a German study of about 13,000 people, a quarter of 13- to 20-year-olds reported that standard condoms were too big.

Oh, NWO stench here. Reeks of the indulgent permissiveness that permeates our society in the age of "just say yes". This fits in well with the European approach to sex education in schools about which I have written in the past.

Meet Alfie. Alfie is just one of many such young fathers in Great Britain. His daughter was born when he was 11 years old. There are many such headlines in the British press.

"The result that shocked us concerned young boys who display apparently risky behavior," Nancy Bodmer, who headed the research, told the Daily Telegraph. "They have more of a tendency not to protect themselves. They do not have a very developed sexual knowledge. They do not understand the consequences of what they are doing, and leave the young girls to take care of the consequences."

As the Sociological Images blog puts it, "Is it better to encourage abstention, even though we know it is of limited use, or try to reduce harm?" The author also makes the point that the condoms could serve a very useful, if sad function, for those boys forced into sex work at a young age. Then too, will encouraging condom use (very) young result in a lifelong commitment to protection?

Video games and babies with babies. Where were the parents and why did these two become the poster children for such behaviour?

My real question about the condom ~ besides wanting statistics on what percentage of young boys are sexually viable and at the same time not regular condom-sized ~ is the aforementioned "Hotshot" business.

While I get that "extra-small" isn't exactly going to move inventory with the middle-school set, a name that plays into the age-group's penchant for manhood-proving leaves the manufacturers open to exactly the sort of criticism you'd think they'd want to avoid. Or, they've got a much better sense of irony than most of the advertisers we're used to.

Personally, I think they want to make money and came up with a name that attracted. And of course along with the condom, comes the interest, etc etc. Gosh, to think we used to get upset if my brother, at 14, snuck off with my Dad's Playboy so he could "read the cartoons". WELL! That is what he SAID he did it for!

So far, Switzerland is the only country where these tiny condoms will be sold ~ but the United Kingdom has expressed interest. Who knows? Soon enough, they could go global.

As much as the idea of a 12-year-old having sex makes me uncomfortable, I think this is great. Kids are having sex whether we like it or not, and a condom marketed to them might make them less resistant to using protection.

But get this, folks. the Hotshot is pure marketing anyway. Smaller condoms ~ marketed as the snug-fit variety ~ have graced American pharmacy shelves for years. Most brands make them, and they're the same 1.7-inch width as the new Swiss option. The only difference is, the packaging isn't designed to entice an adolescent.

So in our increasingly sexualized society, another not so subtle way to encourage sex at an even younger age. When I was a kid, if things like a 12 year old having a child occurred, it was a thing of shame, certainly it was kept secret and the whole world was not privy to such sordid matters. By creating sensational headlines over this and other such situations, the media is, once again, complicit in lowering the general moral standards even lower than they were already.

And in turn, with this awareness, another company cashes in on little weenies by selling condoms that should not be necessary. These kids should be out playing sports or studying, not slipping the rubber on to procreate with another lost child.

Call me an idiot for dreaming of the past, but dang, kids were a lot happier and a lot healthier back then. A little boy playing nintendo and holding his infant child, knowing his life is now devoted to this sweet infant, cannot possibly truly be a happy boy. There is NO way. Meanwhile, his generation of children is being encouraged to act on their impulses...
