I think this is a nice gesture, and I don't see anything inappropriate or disturbing. I think people should understand that promoting safe sex it's essential, and we should be more open to it. Moreover, each time people are taught about this aspect they are also taught how to deal with sextortion and different other details that could make a difference. Sometimes we don't understand when we are sexually harassed or blackmailed, but this type of event might open our eyes and make everything clearer for us.

Nothing wrong in promoting safe sex if more of it was done less Sti's and unwanted pregnancies

What exactly is the connection between handing out condoms and coming or not coming(no pun intended) with partners? I can’t see what you are getting at. Is it the fact that it was at a conference where they were discussing sexual harassment? Again I can't see your point.

And there's the bulk of the problem with condoms: the presumptions that go with gifting or carrying one. It's just a small piece of rubber in a foil packet, yet we attach so much significance to it.

Man rocks up to a date with a condom in his pocket: he's presumptuous in expecting to get laid. Woman rocks up to a date with a condom in her purse: she's a slut, expecting to 'put out' on a first date.

So neither dares to bring one, since neither wants to look as though they've plotted for sex to take place. Sex does take place, and it ends up being the unsafe kind, because no condoms are available.

Society needs to end this bullshit. We need to get over the stigma and the presumptions of motive with respect to carrying or gifting a condom.

I think this is a dumb post !
