Once upon a time it was taboo to mention sex. Girls were not allowed to wear skirts above their knees, and boys went blind from masturbation.

How things change.

Recently I found a man who not only discusses sex out loud but makes his living at it: Condom Man. In addition to saving the world from overpriced contraceptives, Condom Man answers hard-biting questions such as:

I've heard that carrying a condom in a wallet can ruin it. Is there anything a condom can be safely carried in?

Condom Man:

"Carrying a condom in your wallet is not recommended because your body heat, over a long period, can weaken the latex. So while it is OK to carry a condom in your wallet, you should replace the condom frequently with a new one."

It's amazing how often Condom Man's answers involve buying more condoms.

One reader asked, Why are condoms so expensive? How I wanted to be Condom Man at that moment: "I too used to think condoms were expensive. Then I had children."

Condom Man: As far as you can get from book burnings and broad-rimmed glasses.
