I’m still here, just busy this week. I have about a million things I’m dying to write about but no time to cover them adequately since I’ve got midterms and my mom is having surgery tomorrow. Soon I’ll be done with excuses and back to regular posting. You can bet on it.

Olympic athletes might be some of the best-protected people in the world. I had no idea until recently that they’ve been provided with condoms at the start of the two-week long contest for years. Not only that, but organizers have upped the ante from 5 in 2000 to 12 in 2004 to who knows how [...]

Because February 11 - 15 is National Condom Week!
Valentine’s Day falls conveniently during Condom Week, so you might want to consider condom-themed gifts for your significant other. I can recommend condom paperweights and, if you find yourself in Thailand, the local Cabbages & Condoms Restaurant also sends the right message. I’m not a huge cabbage [...]

Is the UK’s latest effort to cut the number of unwanted pregnancies really signaling a revolution in contraception? Maybe not, but it’s still pretty exciting. The 27-million pound campaign encourages alternatives to the pill and also provides for free condoms and kits to test for pregnancy and STDs.
The campaign discourages birth control pills and encourages [...]

Two teenage girls in Illinois were suspended for two days for wearing homemade shirts that said “Safe sex or no sex” and were decorated with condoms. The superintendent called the shirts “inappropriate and a distraction at school.” Fair enough, but I don’t really buy that the only problem the administration had with this was the [...]
