Ravi - I think testers are being given the big bucks or latex or what have you to bring their own partner. :)

I am just wondering how do they test them, without the second party involvement? Sakshi, your concern may be misplaced after all, they must have invited an equal number of eligible women as well, just a little more discretely.

Durex says.."What one gets in return besides the products is a gift hamper and other incentives. One lucky Condom Tester will bag the employee bonus of an all expenses paid holiday for two at a romantic getaway. Other bonus prizes include iPODs and gift vouchers. Company officials add that all Condom Testers would be provided with a certificate that endorses their participation in the programme and gives them the status of a good lover!" I agree COMPLETELY with you Sakshi...lets test it TOGETHER...lets be very thorough....we'll measure the co-efficient of thermal expansion,viscosity,density to penetration ratio,fatigue under multiple orgasms,the inverse of the lubrication value divided by the passion/emotion parameter multiplied by the penis/envy ratio....C'mon Sakshi..don't hesitate..You've stiffened my resolve already;)

Welcome to the electronic equivalent of Communist China, where the qualifications to become a DC writer are kept secret and confidential. You are constantly monitored and may be edited or banned at any time. Maybe you should send in some greenbacks, that'll do it!

with due respect, I am commenting on topics with a header line. The heder line spoke about "Men condoms". I have spoken about "women condoms". If this is a debate, please bring two sides to the coin. I am saying with due respect. I don't spew. I am telling the truth.

Lots of men do not like rubber because it makes sex feel so artificial, unnatural to them. Rubbers during Nirodh era came with sizes that could not fit all individuals with their unique sizes and contours - so it turned off lots of men from using condoms. So it makes sense to direct the awareness and education for rubber use to be aimed at men. Women have traditionally borne the consequences of unprotected sex and lack of contraception. So this is positive development that rubber awareness is directed at men and women should welcome it.

would you be equally aghast if some company just scouted for women to try their new IUD or pills or 'whatever ' contraceptive used by females?since it is men whose precious, golden semen would be pulverized by such devices? and maybe we should thank gay men for turning the pardigm of 'man-inserts-foreign-objects-into- women's-extremely-private-space' on its head by inserting their foreign objects into men's not-meant-to-be-inserted-into private space? we have to be thankful for whatever little change we can get into our edict-comandeered societies, even if it comes from gay men..

Have you noticed even in the IPill ad they show married couples always. They don't want to be lynched, right?;) They should do research on Female condoms- seem to be far more inconvenient than the male condoms
