Children as young as 11 years old are encouraged to get free condoms sent to them, compliments of the Philadelphia Public Health Department.
Daily News columnist Ronnie Polaneczky was first alerted to the city’s youth-oriented condom campaign by a horrified mother, and upon perusal of the health department’s website takecontrolphilly.org, Polaneczky herself was a bit depressed by what she found.
“If you live in Philadelphia and you are between the ages of 11 and 19, all you have to do is fill out the form below and we’ll put together a package for you,” the site states.
The site includes a graphic cartoon penis animation, which demonstrates the proper way to put on a condom, simulates what happens while the condom is worn, and then shows how to properly remove a used condom.
There is also an explicit animation of how to insert a female condom, which includes depictions of sex.
