CSE Promotes condoms to children without informing them of their failure rates.

Targeting children from age 10:

“If used correctly and consistently, latex condoms provide very good protection against pregnancy and STIs, including HIV and AIDS. Latex condoms keep bacteria and viruses in the vagina, anus, or mouth from coming in contact with the penis, and they prevent sperm, bacteria, and viruses in semen from entering the other person’s body.” (You, Your Life, Your Dreams, for children ages 10 and up, p. 104)

“Many people who use latex condoms say they make sex more enjoyable for both partners because both can relax more when they are not worried about the possibility of pregnancy or getting an STI. Some men also say that using a latex condom helps them to avoid ejaculating or ‘coming’ too soon and thus giving more pleasure to their partners.” (You, Your Life, Your Dreams, for children ages 10 and up, p. 107)

“If you are sexually active, make sure to use latex condoms to protect yourself against pregnancy and STIs. You should also seek help from a family planning clinic or a health worker. There are contraceptive methods that adolescents can use to avoid becoming pregnant.” (You, Your Life, Your Dreams, for children ages 10 and up, p. 121)

“[A]nal sex increases risk for anal cancer as a result of infection with human papilloma virus (HPV). Therefore the use of a latex condom during anal intercourse is very important.” (You, Your Life, Your Dreams, for children ages 10 and up, p. 84)

Targeting children from age 12:

“Enable teenagers to obtain and use condoms and contraceptives effectively” (World Health Organization, “Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe,” for children ages 12-15)
