What a a job!

[Guest HBK16]

I found this pretty interesting.

 

LONDON (Reuters) - British students are being recruited to test condoms, rating them for their pleasure, comfort and performance qualities.

 

 

 

The 100-150 successful job applicants will be paid 100 pounds ($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."

 

 

 

That would be a teens perfect job!

But it's not like they provide the guys with a girl. They still have to go out and find their own willing lay, and then during the heat of the moment they've gotta slow down and concentrate on exactly what the damn condom is doing. And for $155 "per academic term" (either a quarter or a semester) ain't a lot of cash, either.

Considering they're basically paying you to answer a few simple questions about recreational sex, I don't see the pay as a problem.

I love the term "recreational sex." It's a double positive!

When is consensual sex not recreational? And what steps can I take to avoid that?

[Guest DrTom]

I guess it's true that all consensual sex is indeed recreational, but that's not really what I was getting at. By "recreational sex," I mean sex outside of a relationship. Translated to the college world, it would be when Frat Boy and Sorority Girl hook up at a party, push the cushions for a while, and go their separate ways. A better term might be "one-night stand," which I think we're all familiar with.

Um... <defensive look> I'm so not.

Can the students sue the condom maker if it breaks during "testing"?
