The New York City condom plan has started to be implemented, started with the handing out of about 150,000 condoms on Valentines Day to anyone who needs them so they can have protected sex and contribute to the cleanup and prevention of AIDS and other potential sexually transmitted diseases. 

The city has begun partnering with the well known designer Kenneth Cole and will be handing out the condoms in trendy spots such as nightclubs and fitness spots, since the youth is usually the highest risk for engaging in risky sexual behavior, and condoms are an often tossed aside precaution in heat of the moment sex when people are younger and more passionate and think they are invincible (remember those days?)

The condoms are distributed not only to prevent unwanted pregnancy, but also to cut down on the spread and contraction of STD’s, and the city of New York, with its dense population seems like a good place to start, where they are planning on increasing the distribution of the free condoms from 2 1/2 billion to about 18 billion per year.  That’s an estimate of about 1 1/2 billion condoms per month. 

Archibishops and other religious advocates are not happy with New York’s decision to promote what they view as immoral premarital sex, and say that because the condoms are being distributed to men and women including minors, they say that abstinence and education and faith is the answer, not handing out condoms promoting premarital sex and carefree sexual encounters.  Mayor Michael bloomberg defends the condom decision saying that this is the way to prevent the spread of AIDS.  City officials plan to hand out a billion and a half condoms every single month!
