      Frankly, when I was in high school - cost was never the issue in whether a couple used condoms, and even in my relatively conservative area, there were local programs that would give out free condoms if you cared enough to look

      Better sex education would go a much longer way imo - because even in California our sex Ed (this was like a decade ago, so maybe it’s changed) was full of “abstinence only” garbage - thankfully the teachers were usually smart enough to go off book and give realistic advice/answers

        Big if. To me it seems worthwhile to have them easily accessible so that teens would be carrying them around. Limits the amount of pre-planning needed
