XS Condom for 12 Year Old Boys? Ethical? Disturbing?

Contributor: SexyRayne SexyRayne
All i have to say is they are going to do it, we cant stop them all!! Wouldn't we rather them be safe if they do it than get some 12 year old girl pregnant? if i had a son and i knew he was having sex i would want these around. I don't condone sex that young for sure but we cant always stop our children.

Do I think 12 year olds should be having sex? No. Do 12 year olds have sex? Yes and they should do it with a condom.

I would personally prefer my 12 year old (theoretically) to be abstainant, but I know kids are having sex at that age, and while they are it's better to help them and their partners stay safe than ignore it or punish it and hope it goes away. I don't think it will encourage kid sex any more than having clean needles encourages people to do drugs... people will do what they want, but it's best to make those choices as safe as possible.

The culture there may have something to do with it being more or less acceptable then in the US.

Yes. I personally know people who have had sex at this age.

dunno. 12 does seem a bit young.

Must be a problem with 12yr olds having sex for them to be making condoms specifically for young boys. But if it is a problem and there's a market for the condoms, go for it. Safe sex if better than unsafe. Especially if children as young as 12 are choosing to engage in it. They have no idea of the consequences sex can have.

The name is definitely disturbing. I believe that no matter how much you tell your children that they need to wait for sex, they are highly influenced by their peers, the media, etc. Teen pregnancy and STDs are a huge concern these days. I don't think that providing condoms to kids is going to encourage them to have sex. But if they are going to have sex, they are going to do it with or without a condom so they might as well have protection.

Switzerland and the Netherlands have some of the lowest rates of teen pregnancy in large part due to their comprehensive sex education. Should people be having sex at 12? Probably not. But most people who are making bad decisions like sex at 12 won't be affected by whether or not they have proper condoms. Now you're just adding another thing on top of the first mistake.

Why do they have to be specifically for 12 year olds? what do adults with really small penises buy?

Disturbing. I understand if they're going to do it, they should have protection available..... But when you're that young, sex shouldn't be on your mind to the extent of actually acting it out.

The idea I like. The name "Hot Shot" is not exactly a great choice

I think it's a good thing to have available. I'm not saying that 12 year olds should be having sex, but some do. And if they do, they should have protection available. Also, it says it should fit those "as young as 12," not that they are made just for preteens. The smaller sizing is also great for guys who are less well-endowed and of course older teens. Proper sizing makes condoms more effective as well. Don't like the name, though.

It's disturbing that boys that young are sexually active but it's best to make condoms for them so they don't get a girl pregnant or give/get STD's :\

Good god. When I was 12, I thought sex, kissing, and love were gross. What the hell is wrong with people these days? I blame the parents!!! >.<

I don't think kids should have sex that young. They are still children and should be having fun and not worrying about sex or anything that us adults worry about now. but that is just how i feel.

I don't, however, agree with the name "Hotshot." ... more
I agree with this.

I really like what Trojan has in the US, the "snugger fit" condom.

while i find it disturbing and do not think children should be engaging in this behavior, the need is apparently greater than i like to think and am in support of it.

naming it hot shot is wrong.

I think they should be sized, not say "Made for 12 year olds! Because you don't even have acne yet."

I don't like the idea, though. Seriously..12? I have never heard of anyone I know having sex at 12. Usually around 14 is when I start to hear.
