CONDOM DISPENSERS IN COLLEGE RESTROOMS 1
Numbers regarding students' engagement in binge drinking and drug use have been on
the rise. These are behaviors that are well connected with the hooking up phenomena and parties.
This prompts understandable concern at the authorities' hands since being under the influence
makes the establishment of the right judgment extremely difficult. Condom dispensers have
therefore come up as an implementation venture regarding this recently reported student
behavior. On the other hand, the idea will bring up very conflicting points of view. Students will
begin to question what the school’s right priorities are. Nevertheless, condoms should be
dispensed in college restrooms to mitigate the spread of sexually transmitted diseases since the
students are having sex either way.
Nowadays, children are taught about sexual intercourse at a very tender age, and by the
age of eleven, most have already started experimenting with sex. This is the reality we are
confronted with, as much as we try to evade it. Research has shown that sex is happening from
the teenager level, with either teachers abusing young girls or even amongst teenagers
themselves (Banks, 2014). Teen pregnancy has been an issue since the beginning of time not
only because of negligence, but also the embarrassment of going to the store and buying
condoms. If getting condoms was as easy as going to the bathroom, abortion rates would
decrease exponentially. Right now, there are fifty-one thousand abortions taking place during
every year. If prevention of pregnancy by use of condoms is grounded, abortion itself would not
be a large controversy anymore.
Additionally, more variety in condom choice would be allowed by a condom dispenser.
They can be stocked with the standard non-spermicidal or spermicidal. Spermicide is not
required by everyone in their condom and spermicide is a skin irritant that increases the risk of
STD transmission. For successful HIV prevention, making condoms widely available is integral.
