It's school policy at Bennington, at least. Student Life provides them in conjunction with Health Services. They also provide a first aid kit for every house.

eta: note that Bennington, being a tiny school, doesn't have big dorm buildings, it has houses - 12 colonials built in the 30s, 3 houses built in the 70s, and 3 built a few years ago. Each house has 30-40 students in it. The two House Chairs for each house act sort of like RAs, but less interested in enforcement than in being more like a mayor to the house, chairing the weekly house meeting and things like that.

That is very interesting. I had no idea.

At my state university, they didn't hand out condoms directly at the dorms, but you could walk into the Health Services center anytime and get them for less than half price.

Contraception is free in the UK, especially for teens (who can get the morning after pill OTC for example, and same with no appointment needed clamydia testing in a high street pharmacy.)

But I think it's a great idea. When I was working in marketing at 19, one of our clients was Durex (condom brand in case it's not worldwide.) Mates were just hitting the market, and spanking the opposition with the youth-oriented campaigns, so our agency was hired to hit all the festivals with free handouts. Then as now, I used to take freebies with both hands and think what I would do with them afterwards. I was in a stable relationship and on the pill, so I had no need for them but everyone else was too embarressed to take the surplus, and they were going to be destroyed. So I got boxes and boxes in these cool drop down dispensing drawers and gave them to all my student friends for their bathrooms. I think there were something like 25 boxes of three in each set. I'm sure some were blown up and/ or stretched over the wrong type of heads, but it did gain me a kind of cool notoriety when I phoned up - "Cherry? As in the Condom Girl?"

I like to hope I stopped a few hungover mornings being quite as distressing as they might otherwise have been. If you only ever have to walk to the bathroom at the end of the hall, there is much less reason for not protecting yourself.

You can actually use a condom as a barf bag. Trust me. I've seen it.

If you can vomit out of your penis, then I'm sure there's a fetish film producer who wants to talk to you.
