Tonight! Faggity Ass Fridays, our monthly queer dance party at the Playhouse!

Is this Life on Mars?

June 16th! Head & Hands will host its AGM (Annual General Meeting) at the NDG Legion (5455 de Maisonneuve Ouest). It’s our 40th anniversary, so help us kick it off in style! Dress as your favourite decade of Head & Hands’ history… My outfit will be inspired by the ’70s, of course!

Happy 40th birthday, Head & Hands!

July 25th! Save the date for our fifth annual bar and restaurant beach volleyball tournament, SERVE! Local bar and resto staff form teams, face off on the Jeanne-Mance courts, and raise money for sex education. This event is a blast to watch and even more fun to participate in - click below for more information!

A Switzerland company manufactures condoms for 12-year-old boys, and plans to distribute them outside of Switzerland. While it’s only a minority of 12-year-olds that are sexually active (and the sex is typically very occasional), I believe safer sex supplies should still be available for them, and a condom that fits your penis size is also great if you want to practice with it, which we always encourage people to do in workshops.

A standard condom has a diameter of 52mm in comparison with the Hotshot’s 45mm. Both are the same length – 190mm.

According to a study of 13 to 20-year-olds, a quarter said that a standard condom was too large.

Hilary Pannack, of teenage pregnancy charity Straight Talking Peer Education, said: ‘We know young people are having sex and if this is what it takes to protect them, we need to go along with it.’

Condoms in ‘extra small’ for boys age 12 set for Britain’s shelves soon @ Mail Online
