Extra small condoms for 12 year-old boys go on sale in Switzerland
Junior high school aged students are apparently engaging in risky sexual behavior.



Called the Hotshot, the condom has been produced after government research showed 12 to14-year-olds did not use sufficient protection when having sex.

The study, conducted on behalf of the Federal Commission for Children and Youth, interviewed 1,480 people aged 10 to 20.

The company has said the UK would be "top priority" if they expanded abroad, considering that it has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe.

A standard condom has a diameter of 2ins (5.2cm) in comparison with the Hotshot's diameter of 1.7ins (4.5cm). Both are the same length – 7.4ins (19cm).

2. If a 12-14 year old won't buy a regular condom to have sex
they sure as HELL aren't going to buy a "small" one.

15. I suspect that's why most small condom manufacturers
sell primarily online.

(don't ask me how I know this)

(and no, I don't own a Hummer :evilgrin: )
