Extra small condoms for boys as young as 12 could soon be on our shelves.

The Hotshot condoms are going on sale in Switzerland after research found that not enough 12 to 14-year-old boys were having protected sex.

The condoms are likely to end up on sale in Britain, said their manufacturer Lamprecht AG.

  Im all for birth control but Hotshot? Im laughing my ass off.

I can hear it now:  "They're for my son.  Really!"

[Mr. DS]

I don't think Circus would approve after the "I Believe Children Aren't The Future" thread. and also, this is just dumb, 12 Year olds having sex? BULLs**t!!!!!!

[Mr. DS]

I think at 12  I was only just discovering myself if you know what I mean.

Call me old fashioned, but age 12 to 14 is WAAAAAYY too young to be having sex.

Yes, I agree. Your making boys more sex driven

Y'know: I have always wondered about how these statistics are gathered (in this case that a significant number of 12 y-o-'s are having sex).  It seems to me that if you ask a pack of 12-year-olds (or close to that age range) about any activity they perceive as 'cool' or 'mature' (sex, drugs, drinking, smoking) they will tend to claim experience - whether they have it or not.  IOW: there will be a rather large number who LIE about what they are up to - toward the 'yes' side.  So what makes the results of surveys on these subjects believable enough to be acted upon??

Adult men with small penises are going to be the primary buyers of these condoms and the company knows it.  Marketing them to 12 year old boys is likely just a way to generate controversy and, thus, free advertising.

I've got to agree with you, Newt.  And with any kind of survey or statistic,  it is always directly related to "THEY say ..."  The infamous  - THEY!

You'd have a heart attack if you came over here. There's 12 year olds with small families, homes with pets too! It's madness. Parents evenings must be getting like youth socials.
