Condom Shop Opens: Tuban, Bali

condom002.jpg It’s always best to play it safe when you are on hols as far as sex is concerned considering HIV is on the increase big time in Asia. Now, when you are out rockin’ n’ rollin’ and fancy a romp after with a member of the opposite sex and you search frantically in your pocket for a ‘shower hood’, never fear, you can now get all your condom supplies at a new shop just opened to cater for your needs.

The Discovery Shopping Mall in South Kuta recently saw its newest shop open – The Guard specializing only in condoms. Occupying a small 4 x 12 meter space, but painted bright red to help catch the attention of the shoppers visiting the busy mall, The Guard offers both male and female condoms in a mind-boggling array of styles imported from around the world.

The marketing manager of the shop told the local press that the decision to locate in a busy mall was to try to remove the embarrassment and social stigma sometimes associated with purchasing condoms, cautioning that “every 10 minutes someone new is infected with HIV.”
