National Condom Week Internet Poll Reveals Insights Into The Lure of Latex
 In celebration of the 22nd National Condom Week (February 14-21), Condomania (America's First Condom Store) and the Condom Resource Center sponsored a provocative Internet poll to gather attitudes
about condoms and condom use. Conducted via Condomania's web site, over 1000 people (aged 15-34) responded to the entertaining survey over a five-day period. Since National Condom Weeks always begins
on Valentine's Day, the timely results show that "the world of safer sex can be both humorous and informative."
Here's what we heard:
When asked, "If you had just one condom left, what celebrity would you want to use it with?"
Goldenboy Brad Pitt and "Scream" queen Jennifer Love Hewitt topped the charts. Other faves included "Top Gunner" Tom Cruise and ex-Baywatcher Pamela Anderson. Who popped up on the list that we DIDN'T expect to see?
Beltway babes Madeline Albright, Janet Reno, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton; celluloid heroes Xena, Buffy, Wonder Woman, Hercules and Han Solo; and the scandalous threesome of
TIME's Men of the Year Bill Clinton & Ken Starr with their muse, Monica Lewinsky.
And who said what's love got to do with it: we got a wealth of rousing endorsements for "my boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse" that completely bypassed the temptations of fame.
The paparazzi can be such a drag.
 | Sharon Stone Says Keep Condoms Ready
UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 1, 1998 (Reuters) - No home with teenagers is complete without a couple of hundred condoms sitting around, says Sharon Stone. The actress appeared before a U.N. panel Tuesday on World AIDS Day, saying that teenagers are inevitably going to have sex so they should do it safely. "When I was a teenager and I was having sex in the back of the car, my parents would not have thought it was a good thing," Stone said. She suggested parents put 200 condoms "in a box someplace in the house where everybody isn't all the time" so teenagers could take them without embarrassment, give them to their friends or even use them for water balloons. Having said that, Stone added that she's not a proponent of teen sex because "it is painful and difficult enough just to be a teenager."
