They are not suitable for protection against STDs or to prevent pregnancy. It's just a gimmick to add some humor to your sexlife. They are seen as great funny gifts. These condoms are for fun only.

I tend to understand most items sold in sex stores, but I am still a little stumped on these "condoms". When the man puts it on, does it look like a normal condom? Of does he actually have a snowman on his penis? Does it fold up, or is it stiff and awkward looking when entering? I thought at first they were the worst dildos ever. As a woman, I will say this: <em>Never, ever, ever. </em>Ever. Hmmm. I tend to understand most items sold in sex stores, but I am still a little stumped on these “condoms”.

To me they don't look nearly big enough. :) Somehow having Frosty the Snowman performing such an action is a disturbing mixture of associations that might chill the mood. And what the heck are those other condoms supposed to be? The blue and white- what is that, a dog? elephant? airplane? has a lot of things sticking out of it. Ouch. Maybe mixing such merchandise with a religious setting is not such a good idea. Does weird things to the mind. And body. Are you sure those are condoms? To me they don’t look nearly big enough. :)

Having done it once, they do not wish to do it again. American memories, at least fundamentalist memories, do not go back that far. Thus, the fundamentalists are more than happy to go back to the Dark Ages, believing only in the mystical and eschewing all science. I just wish they didn't want to take the rest of us with them. ;o) Well, Robb, it seems to me that the Europeans already lived through the Dark Ages once.
