Safer sex in Jing'an

1333515856_ea0d1cd2d0.jpgTaking a page from the lessons learned in the Olympic village about condom distribution, more free condoms will be available in Jing'an office buildings reports dfdaily.eastday.com (h/t Shanghai Daily). It appears that over 50 buildings in the district already distribute free condoms and last year over 100,000 rubbers were taken from these venues.

The record number of condoms taken in a day was apparently 4,000 from Plaza 66. We are not sure what this says about the lunchtime activities of the tenants of one of Shanghai's most up market office buildings but it is encouraging to see that at least safe sex is on the rise.

An official from the Jing'an District Family Planning Commission commented:

"Rising consumption indicated that more people than ever before know how to protect themselves and live a more healthy life."
Of course this begs the question of how these condoms are really consumed.

4000 from one building in one day? That must have been some lunch gathering!!

I could see some housewife tying them together for a clothesline.

--"at least safe sex is on the rise"?

I guess the condom trading volume at Yahoo online auction in on the rise.

If Chinese just distributed condom this way, how can they fight the America-originated disease?

All indications show the disease which you infer originated in sub-Saharan Africa, most likely due to a mutation of a Simian virus transmitted from the consumption of "bush meat". Due to this being the origin, this is also where the virus has been the most devastating to the general population.

So, your bigoted comment about "America-originated" is either uninformed or, most likely, just a result of your personal prejudice. Neither cause, however, is a valid excuse.

To Fuzi,

Don't we come here for fun, man, if you anyway cannot get enough of it in Olympic Park?
Be an "onion" is the best way to live in this world, dont you think so?

eastman, you really should learn English before trying to comment on an English-language forum. Your posts make no sense, it is as if you pick words at random and place them in a sentence. You are only embarrassing yourself.
