APPLICANTS WANTED FOR CONDOM TESTING


By New Zealand correspondent Peter Lewis


One of the world's biggest manufacturers of condoms is targeting New Zealand to test its new range of products because the people there are apparently among the most sexually active in the world.
While the idea of becoming a condom test pilot obviously will appeal to many New Zealanders, Durex - the company behind this unusual research and development program - takes the promotion of safe sex seriously.
Durex national manager Victoria Potter says New Zealanders pay a high price for being among the most sexually active in the world.
"We have very high rates of STIs [sexually transmitted infections], we have the third highest rate of unplanned pregnancy in the OECD countries, we have a lot of sexual partners and we are very much into casual sex," she said.
Past surveys suggest Kiwis are among the most sexually active in the world, among the highest in the world for sexual partners and one-night stands, as well as being relatively more adventurous when it to comes to experimenting in the bedroom.
Ms Potter says a select few will be chosen to try the company's new product range.
But apart from a few free condoms, the only reward for the select few will be the satisfaction of contributing to the science of sex.

And I thought that jokes about sheep in NZ, were only jokes

Gee it sounds like NZ is the place to holiday , I've always thought about going to Raglan.

Well, yet another example of little New Zealand leading the way.

Perhaps a natural sequel of being the first to give women the vote?

We're not the ones running around with velcro gloves.

And if we slip condom over bottle top, might also prevent binge drinking,
over bottle bottom, might also prevent frostbite.

That’s what I call three birds with one stone..


And doing original test, will make it four with one real bird and no velcro required

Here's a nice old lady on NZ talk back radio. "speak up! what's that!"
Poor lady's done permanent damage to her eardrums over the years lol.

If music be the food of love play on
give me excess of it that surfeiting
the appetite may sicken and so die.

Overheard in Kiwi market research interview room:-

If music be the food of love play on
give me ham and eggs with it, then surfing
then appetising thickshake and French Fries.

found a pdf on the internet.

Doesn't surprise me one bit.Lovely country but Kiwi's are big binge drinkers and most smoke canabis very regularly.

If you go to one of the big All Black games the whole stadium stinks of the stuff.Still, on the positive side, very little violence, burglary's and kids on street corners like the Uk.

Not that there was anything wrong with ten pints of bitter , a fight outside the pub then fish and chips before watching match of the day on t.V.
