Thought this might be of interest to you guys, though some might already have seen it - it's a survey on condom prices worldwide. I could go on a rant on the shocking state of Ireland's sexual health and our disgraceful lack of facilities, but I won't; suffice to say that I'm not bloody surprised we came out on top of this list with the attitudes towards sex in this country. Grr.
I thought there was. Mind you, not much you can really say about condoms is there.
Tip for the Irish- get a cheap deal to Kenya and go into the toilets in any Nairobi decent resteraunt (I recommend the Carnivore- it's fantastic!). Then steal the huge roll of free ones.
Bejayzus Shellyboo!!! To be sure you're in a Catholic country; use the tried and tested rhythym method that the Pope himself gave us. Moi Irish cousin Patrick McNaughty has used it all his loif and only has the fifteen kids,sure he has.
Anyway, if condoms are forbidden to poor Catholic Africans desperate to survive in their AIDS ridden countries, you are certainly not allowed to use them. No, not even the flavoured ones. Nor the ribbed ones come to that (come - was that a pun there?)
Sorry...too political. I'll go away and count my condom collection.
In Holy Catholic Ireland? No siree. Health service here is beyond shite. We have one free GUM clinic in Dublin and you have to take a whole day off work to attend, with no guarantee of being seen. No big bowl of free condoms either, as with most contraception here you have to beg the doctor for it. Universities are a bit better - Student Unions tend to supply free condoms but you still have to go and ask!
Really? Guess they assume the men would forget anyway. Leave it to the women! lol :P
The Carnivore is ace- they basically bring a big lump of meat on a sword to you, stick the tip on your plate say 'It's alligator- want some?' and the hack off a chunk!
We weren't allowed Zebra, cos there was a shortage. Had alligator, ostrich, impala and something else really weird. Impala has to be my favourite meat ever.
My bf's mum works at a hospital in the heath clinic so we get boxes of condoms for free I dont think i have ever had to pay for condoms before. Noone should have to either!!

I am so with you on that one! I realise the poor manufacturers need to make money, but I really think that the Health Service here should make them more widely available for free, or even at discount.
