We do not know who invented condoms, but we do know that they were in use. There is evidence of this in the writings of Marquis de Sade, Casanova and James Boswell. The latter, a Scottish lawyer and writer, protected himself against sexually transmitted
Introduction Condoms were invented to prevent pregnancies, centuries ago. They have gone through many changes in materials over time, but the use has usually been the same, with the exception of them also being used to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections. However, that just might not be the case. You see, condoms are not even 100% effective in their purpose. Women still wind up getting pregnant when their male partners use a condom.

Administration at Camden County College has installed condom dispensers in the college’s restrooms, as an attempt to prevent the spread of AIDS on campus. While I agree that AIDS is a serious issue that must be confronted, I do not believe that the installation of condom dispensers in Camden County College’s bathrooms is a necessary precaution.
The Condom Distribution Debate The topic of condom distribution in public schools has caused many heated debates throughout our country in the last decade. Proponents of distribution state that free condom distribution will ensure that teenagers will practice safe sex and that the rate of sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy will decline. Opponents of distribution state that free condom distribution will encourage sexual activity and foster the idea that premarital sex is acceptable
The Importance of Using a Condom In a recent study performed at the University of New Orleans by Dr. Bruce M. King, only 20% of men reported using a condom consistently, while only 50% reported using protection with a new partner. The results of condom use or lack there of is clear: ? 2/3 of all STIs occur in people 25 years of age or younger ? By the age of 24, 1 in 3 sexually active people will have contracted an STI ?

I believe that having condom dispensers in an institute of higher learning is very extreme and that there are other avenues that could address the AIDS crisis. I will go into further detail about these other avenues in this letter. First, I would like to bring up one of the alternatives to the condom dispensers. This would be awareness training for the AIDS crisis. I think that my
Condom Dispensers in College AIDS is always a matter of social concern. Instead of continuing to seek treatment for this disease, prevention is a very necessary thing. Thus, a proposal by College Administration of Camden County College is to place condom dispensers at the restrooms in school as a policy of dealing with the AIDS crisis. This is a good idea which is one of many steps to help provide a safe community for students in school. The benefits of installing condom dispensers will result in
