World Cup of Condoms

We’ve recently come across some pretty interesting World Cup statistics. Now we know what you’re thinking:  “What the hell? I signed up for steamy sex news to escape my partner’s obsession with sports. Why in the world is PPNNE mentioning soccer???”  Let us reassure you— this is relevant.  So read on, o ye, of little faith, and see these staggering numbers for yourself:Proper Attire Condoms2

4 weeks of World Cup tournament play… 32 teams competing for the World Cup… 2,200 volunteers stationed at Johannesburg’s Ellis Park stadium… 400,000 fans estimated to attend…and…

1,000,000,000 condoms needed for the World Cup. One BILLION.

South Africa announced last week it will need one billion condoms for the World Cup. Annually, more than 450 million condoms are distributed in South Africa. But with 1 in 5 adults HIV/AIDS positive, there can never be “too many.”

It’s rare that condoms and soccer are combined…but we found this cute (and impressive) DIY video and just couldn’t resist posting it.
