Here’s an interesting blog article on odd condom designs from Japan. The “Power, Black” is definitely my favorite.

What I don’t really understand is why the Japanese need such interesting condoms when they never get laid. This Inventorspot article claims that Japan is the largest consumer of condoms per capita in the world. But I’ve also heard that the Japanese never have sex (see depressing column at right). How does that work?

I can certainly attest to the fact that the Japanese aren’t doing it. Or at least, that the Japanese aren’t doing me. However, now that I think of it, my Japanese next-door neighbors are getting some (or rather, a lot) from what I can hear through my thin Leopalace apartment walls. Maybe they’re filling up the condom quota for the rest of their compatriots.
