Condoms can lead to promiscuity?

Alka RastogiLucknow, January 9, 2006

After the whole furor of promoting condom usage, another problem that

has surfaced is that contraceptives will encourage promiscuous

behaviour.Many organizations in Uttar Pradesh are opposing the idea

of installing Condom Vending Machines (CVMs) in colleges, public

toilets, shopping malls and other public places.There are strong

protests also against the recent Condom Show that was organized in

Lucknow and other places to promote use of condoms.

Unions like Hindu Jagran Manch, Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the

Bajrang Dal feel that by setting up such machines, Indians would be

encouraging promiscuity. Even some educational institutions have

opposed the move.However, expert who are in favour of safe sex say

using condoms will not only help in checking population but would

also go a long way in the curbing a menace like AIDS.

Interestingly Dr Meera Mehrotra, Joint Director Uttar Pradesh AIDS

Control Society, thinks that protests by organizations are justified

because if condom vending machines were installed, youngsters would

be tempted to indulge in such acts. " At present social and religious

traditions restrict them from doing so, " she stated.

However, according to a survey done in the state, youngsters came out

in full support of condom use. " We are not opposed to the idea at all

It's only the oldies, their genes have become useless, " a girl, from

Isabella Thoburn College, was quoted as saying.On the other hand, the

UP unit of the All-India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA)

thinks that if such vending machines are installed then every third

boy/girl will be running after condoms to have sex.

Now, the situation is such that the authorities are in a fix whether

to agree with the opposition from conservatives or carry on with the

installation of condom vending machines? Professor AK Tripathi, in-

charge of HIV and AIDS Cell, of the King 's Medical University

says, " It is a very sensible move and people opposing it must be

educated enough to accept it. It is so silly that we are creating a

ruckus over something baseless. "
