Extra small condoms for boys as young as 12 are going on sale in Switzerland. Called the Hotshot, the condom has been produced after government research showed 12 to 14-year-olds did not use sufficient protection when having sex. The study, conducted on behalf of the Federal Commission for Children and Youth, interviewed 1,480 people aged 10 to 20.

Experts fear older women are ditching contraception in the mistaken belief that they cannot get pregnant past a certain age. The Family Planning Association (FPA) believes the message on infertility and age has gone “too far”. Although fertility does wane, women can still get pregnant well into their thirties, forties and even fifties. Abortion rates for women aged 40 to 44 match those for the under 16s, figures for England and Wales show. In 2008, both of these groups had an abortion rate of four per 1,000 women.

Sperm sprint secrets ‘may lead to new contraception’
Friday, February 5th, 2010http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8498362.stm
A mechanism which starts sperm swimming when they get near the egg could one day lead to new forms of male contraception, scientists have said. Tiny pores on the sperm’s surface allow it to change its internal pH, which in turn starts its tail movements. Researchers from the University of California in San Francisco said the study might also explain why marijuana makes men infertile.
