'''Condoms''' are latex or sheepskin sheaths used to put over the male sexual organ before intercourse.
The '''condom''' has been promoted as a [[birth control]] device, as well as a means of preventing [[venereal disease]]. It is not as effective as [[abstinence]] or [[fidelity]].
Some government-supported programs to distribute condoms to teenagers have been credited with reducing out of wedlock [[teen pregrancy]], but the success of these programs is debatable. Opponents charge that condom distribution is counterproductive, as it sends a tacit (but clearly perceived) message that pre-marital sex (and even fornication) is good. Some sociologists and most Christians reject this message, the latter obviously on religious and moral grounds.
