Leave it to the Swiss. Once again European progressives are leading the world in stupidity. Recently a Swiss condom manufacturer began production of extra-small condoms for boys as young as 12 years old. Can one really imagine a young teenage boy going into the pharmacy and asking for an extra small condom--as John Wayne would have said, "That'll be the Day!" Apart from the sheer commercial ignorance of this venture by the Swiss, do we really need to do anything else to encourage sex among young teens. I predict the "Hotshot", the new condom's name, will have a "short" history for in this day of exaggerated self important "size matters"A leading condom manufacturer in Switzerland has created extra-small condoms for boys as young as 12 years old, the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph reported.
The condom, called the Hotshot, was produced after family planning groups and the Swiss AIDS Federation campaigned to have the condoms made following several studies that showed adolescent boys were not using proper protection when engaging in intercourse.
"The result that shocked us concerned young boys who display apparently risky behavior,” Nancy Bodmer, who headed the research, told the newspaper. “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.”
Bodmer said the results of the study suggest that early prevention makes sense.
A spokeswoman for the company, Lamprecht AG, said the United Kingdom would be a “top priority” if they expanded abroad, especially since the U.K. has one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in Europe.
A standard condom has a diameter of 2 inches; the Hotshot's is 1.7 inches. Read full story The Telegraph
