Well, really it's the price of condoms. I just did the headline that way to get your attention. If you're like me and never use condoms, you wouldn't bother to check out this nice little graph created by the folks at Environmental Graffiti. Go over there to see a bigger graph (because size matters) and the research. Can you believe how condom prices vary around the world? A lot of the difference is due to taxes, and I can't think of many things more counterproductive than taxing condoms. Of course, if you really wanted to compare the price of sex around the world, you'd have to factor in things like a dinner and movie, alimony, hooker rates, the prevalence of trophy wives and such, then you'd get into some really shady practices like mail-order brides and child trafficking and all the sudden you wouldn't want to even touch the data.

Is Ireland the most expensive because of taxes, or because the Pope doesn't approve of wasting semen?
Living here in Toronto, Canada - a "party pack" of three condoms cost
about $5. It could cost $100 each and I would still buy them!
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
Recently, a friend of mine decided not to use a condom on a "one
weekend stand" with a woman he met online.
A few days later he learned the hard way that some things just can't be
cured no matter how much money your willing to pay.
thats very interesting, i really had no idea that prices varied so much. thats a shame really when condoms are a thing that should basically be given out free by the government. lucky for me here a 3 pack is like 4 bucks and you can save a lot by buying the 20 pack
Condom prices. Can we blame this on oil prices too?
A 20 pack? Good god, how the hell would you use them all up before the best by date? I think those things only last a few years.
how? why the same way you always use them. mostly i've bought the 3 pack but some time the 20 one (from Durex). i mean, why spend more if all I'm gonna do is get them wet then throw 'em away.
on the expiration date i think it's like a two year life and in that time you can go through a lot. shit, who buys condoms to let them sit around?
yeah i agree with etantao.. who would buy a condom and just let it sitting in your car compartment or bedside table?
a condom here in the phils (durex) costs around 2 bucks per pack. a pack has three chutes inside.
i guess its really cheap here.
a good flavored condom here from a local (i think) company named Frenzy condoms costs around a dollar per pack.
never had problems with it but its limited with the usual latex with no ribbed or dotted. a party pack which costs 3 dollars would have love cuffs included.
hehe
I get me some Rough Riders at the dollar store.
Go to Planned Parenthood, they give 'em out for free.
