Recently, the media spotted women sharing condoms on the streets – and their response is encouraging.By tinzwei.com
“South Africa has a big percentage of people living with HIV/Aids and it’s important that we try to stop it from spreading.
“Distributing condoms is just one of the ways we contribute towards an Aids-free society,” reasoned Nothando Phepani.

The effort to condomise is a combined effort by the government and Yabonga Children’s Project to distribute Max condoms.
“The new condoms are best. I like the strawberry flavour,” said Tinashe, a Zimbabwean based in South Africa.

On the positive side, those condoms that you bought last year and haven’t used yet are perfectly fine, so there’s no need to panic if you happen to get into a situation in which a condom is necessary.
Sweden used to have a “Condom Ambulance”
There was once a time in Sweden when you could call the “condom ambulance.” That’s right. If you were in a situation in which you needed a condom right away but didn’t have one available, you could just call up the ambulance and have a “professional” get your contraceptive to you right away.
Condoms are factory-tested with electricity
Before a condom leaves the factory, an electric current is shot through it to ensure that there are no holes or tears in it. This, of course, is a safety precaution and ensures the quality of the condom.

The device that is used to check the condom is shaped somewhat like a penis, which helps the manufacturers to see how the condom will fit and how effective it will be. This is supposed to save you the trouble of having to inspect the condom before putting it on.
After all, pausing to make sure the condom is in top condition will most likely be a mood killer, so once you find a condom brand you can trust, it’s best to stick with it.
Women buy almost half of all condoms
Women are no longer leaving it up to their partners to purchase condoms. About 40% of condom sales are attributed to women. This likely makes women feel more at ease about their sexual health, and could even increase their confidence around a guy.

There used to be a stigma concerning women who carried condoms, since people used to assume that a woman who already had a condom on hand was promiscuous.
Sure, there’s probably some people out there who feel that way, but a woman who actually takes control of her own sexual health is actually a turn-on for some men.
Guys don’t like condoms
More than 80% of men admitted that they have at least one tactic to avoid condom use during sex. Wow. We’re not sure if this is confirmation that condoms truly are a little uncomfortable, or if guys just feel uncomfortable pausing an intimate moment to put a condom on.
Some guys also complain that sexual sensation is different, and others simply have a tendency toward dangerous behavior. - Additional Reporting by Online Sources
