This isn't about the DR, but I thought it would be of interest since there has been so much talk about sex and condoms on the board. Perhaps out esteemed Webmaster, Robert, can shed more light on the subject.

LONDON, England (Reuters) --
British students are being recruited to test condoms, rating them for their pleasure, comfort and performance qualities.
The 100 to 150 successful job applicants will be paid ?100 ($155) per academic term as they road-test a range of condoms from German manufacturer Condomi.
"The condom testers will be asked to give a pleasure rating. They will not be asked to test quality -- that has already been done," Condomi's marketing manager in Britain Victoria Wells told Reuters on Thursday.
"Test results will be fed back to our research and development department, and we hope that the students who participate will both enjoy the testing and the money, and give us a frank response which we can use for product development," Wells said.
She said adverts had been placed in a number of student publications and will run on several student radio stations from October 25.
Would-be testers will be asked to fill in an application available online at www.condomi.co.uk.
Among the voluntary questions asked of candidates will be: how many partners they have had, how often they have sex and how long its lasts -- with the option to tick various boxes marked from "under one minute" to one marked "1.5-two hours."
