Nothing is a bigger mood killer than realizing you don’t have a condom on hand. MTV gets it, and they want to help. The network has teamed up with iCondom for the release of the iCondom iPhone app.

Those who download the app will be able to use GPS to track down a nearby store that sells condoms. It will use crowdsourcing to gather the info, so users are encouraged to input locations where they purchase their condoms. Larger plans to create a global condom map are also in the works if the app proves to be as popular as creators expect it will be.

This handy and smart idea is part of MTV’s Staying Alive campaign which promotes HIV awareness and prevention among today’s youth.

You tell us: Would you download this app? Would you think the guy you’re with is too promiscuous if he has the app on hi iphone?
