PoLiX Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 Ok, so this one is serious... sadly. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6507611.stm Condom testers required by Durex Durex has launched its first UK recruitment drive for thousands of condom testers.The condom maker wants a panel of 5,000 people who are single, married, or in couples to report their experiences of using its condoms and lubricants. Men and women of all ages, ethnic groups or sexual orientation have been asked to apply on its website. Durex was inundated with 14,000 applicants on the first day it started a similar scheme in France. UK panellists will be expected to report online on how enjoyable the condoms and lubricants were to use and whether their sex lives have improved. "The idea is to create a massive panel of testers who can try Durex condoms, have sex and then give us feedback about their experiences - in strictest confidence, of course," a Durex spokeswoman said. "It isn't some crazy kind of '60s love-in," she added. Durex sales in the six months until September 2006 increased by 7% compared with the same period in the previous year, driven by a surge in sales of personal devices and lubricants.

As in mail the rubbers back in a SASE? Sure I don't mind, but just pay for the postage plz. Can US citizens apply? I had to wander around for a while to find one that fit until the magnum came "no pun intended". And that's another thing, there need to be condom fitting rooms, nothing big, just a hole in the wall near the dressing rooms so you can try on different sizes. I remember buying this pack of green ones and they cut off the circulation. Seven different types later I found my size. They should also have actual sizes rather than make you guess. Now, the magnums get tight sometimes but not strangling my dangling like most of the others. Also, they need to stop using nonoxyl-9. My GF is alergic to that crap so I have to rinse it out before using it. I'm sure other people have this problem. PS, how would a single person give feedback?
