Just a quickie…


…cuz it’s funny, even if it’s in an I-feel-guilty-for-laughing sort of way.

South Korea’s hosting an international condom conference this week on Jeju Island, in attendance by the world’s top condom experts (and no, that’s not a euphemism for the everyman, although it should be).

Two interesting points: they’ve concluded that condom sizing matters, ergo South Korea (and the world) needs more size varieties; and apparently South Korean men’s penises are growing!

Now they’ll be able to join the rest of the world at the grown-up condom table (ew, bad analogy; abort metaphor, abort!; oh no, even worse accidental metaphor; I’ll just stop now) and actually wear the damn things instead of going without because they just don’t fit right.

Furthermore:

Innovation for male condoms has focused on adding textures to enhance sexual pleasure, or offering different colors or lubricants. At the meeting, South Korean manufacturer Unidus displayed its “Long-Love” condom — featuring desensitizing cream inside to prevent premature ejaculation so men “make a lasting impression.”

So not only are they small, but they’re, um, non-lasting in impression? Now there’s a backhanded way to frame positive news, huh?

And in a totally unrelated bit, did you know there are such things as condom dresses? Or, as they’re referred to, condom couture. I’m not sure how I feel about this.

  6. I love reading what you write. THis one particularly made me laugh just reading the title!

  7. I find it a little bit funny a condom convention is being held in Korea. I live in Korea and the amount of barebacking here is quite shocking.

    Anyway, interesting and entertaining post as always. Thanks!

  8. ;o)
    This piece of news is just what I needed to start my day laughing !
    Thanks, javabeans !

  9. Javabeans, you’re hilarious as ever! I wonder what Korean men eat nowadays and they are growing… big? ;P

  10. The condom dresses are quite fun to watch with all these colors but the one you put under “Condom Couture” looks kinda disgusting to me… Can’t help wondering how they opened the condoms… Yirk.

  11. [...] I heart joo. And not just because of your awesome CP entries. It is also because of this random find. Around 100 experts in the area of condom standards from over 50 countries around the world will [...]

  12. Haha the part about metaphor was fun fun fun I was laughing my heart out!
    But EWW~ the condom couture looks just disgusting!!! XD

  13. hahaha… thanks for posting! it was interesting and funny to read although a little random.

  14. interesting read and entertaining although a bit random. hahahaaa… thanks for posting though!

  15. errr… never the condom dresses, how about the “dressing”?

  16. oops, i mean : never mind the condom dresses, how about the “dressing”?
    damn it, where’s that edit button again?

  17. i came across the news the other day and couldn’t believe that such a thing was worth having a conference about! how silly! (shakin’ head) about “dressing”, i guess if guys name their ‘buddies’ anyway why not allow them to crossdress??? ;P

  18. hilarious!!! absurd thoughts crossing my mind on how the meeting works (not sure how anyone can talk about the dynamics of condoms for hours on) and on the couture, not too hot about it. seems, um, dirrrrty! :P

  19. this is really hilarious although I can’t really picture what a condom dress look like.

  20. Javabeans, I’ve seen those condom couture dresses in person, and they’re pretty awesome :D They also took A LOT of hours to do.

  21. as hilarious as this post is, the ending was slightly .. disturbing. hahaha Condom dresses??
    Hm.. I don’t know how I feel about that either. lol interesting…..?

  22. Am example of what to do when you cannot sleep after midnight and have no good dramas to watch…lol. I could not help myself but, literally, roll in the floor laughing while trying to read this post. Really the sizes are growing?! Regarding the condom dresses, let me tell you is quite amusing to see, do not knock it until you try it…hehe.
    On another note, this conference seemed to be more focused on the Korean men than the women, that is so wrong in so many levels….after all we are the ones that have to put up with it…..or are they having a different conference for women?

  23. I LOL’d at the metaphor part. Funniest parenthetical all day. :)

  24. ha ha that’s funny ^_^ its a good thing though, that their sizes are growing ha ha ha, just joking!!! :-)

  25. There’s an international condom convention? O_O
