Condoms in News | Apr 23, 2008 |

As often as not condoms become newsmakers. Here are some amazing and funny stories where condoms played the main roles.
Doctor, help me take off the condom!
A man in Romania had to apply for medical help when he could not take off the condom that was glued on the penis.
Once 43-year-old Nicolae Popovici, the father of five children decided he did not want more kids. Having made this conclusion he bought a condom - perhaps this was the first condom he ever bought, or even ever saw. The first experience was unsuccessful. During intercourse the man and his wife realized that the condom was too big.
The smart man found the way out quickly: he put a generous amount of high quality glue on the penis and thus glued the condom to the cock, according to The National Newspaper.
It remains unknown whether the first trial was successful, but when it came to the condom's removal the spouses realized that they cannot cope with the problem with their own efforts, so they went to the local hospital.
"He thought a condom could be used for several times, so he wanted to leave it on the penis for a while. It was quite difficult to take the condom off'' - said a doctor from the hospital.
Condom on the plate
This story happened to an American woman who enjoyed dinner together with her friends in McCormick&Schmickes restaurant (Los Angeles) when she suddenly realized she was eating a latex condom instead of sea foods.
"I thought this was a calmar or a shrimp" - said the woman - So I chewed it for a while. After some time she realized her favorite soup contained a condom, according to Der Spiegel.
The woman spit out the "tasteless gum" and saw something that reminded of a piece of rubber glove. However one of her friends guessed this was a condom, fortunately a new, unused one.
The woman felt terribly. She claimed she had shock and depression and sued the restaurant.
Public Trying on a Dress
A young man decided to try on a condom without leaving the shop. This unusual incident happened in Norway.
Shop assistants say the man spent much time choosing a condom. In the end he took off the clothes to try on a condom and to choose the one that will suit him most.
The shop assistants decided not to present charges against the man, as he was very polite.
"May be he did that for a dare, or this was a joke, anyway, this was disorderly conduct", said the policeman that was called by the witnesses of the incident.
Indians use condoms inadequately
Indians use condoms in most unusual ways. In this country millions of free condoms are used inadequately, though these are intended for struggle with AIDS and for demographic increase control. Condoms are colored and inflated as air balloons, condoms are used for water transportation and soldiers protect their arms from dirt with help of condoms. Besides, condoms are used as a waterproofing layer for roofs and even as topping for roads, according to Daily Telegraph.
Only a quarter of 1,5 billion of condoms that are manufactured in India are used as contraceptive, according to the statistics.
