Condom sales declined precipitously during the pandemic, the world's largest manufacturer of the contraceptive, which saw sales falling as much as 40% in the past two years, told Nikkei.

While one could assume that people would have nothing to do "but have sex" indoors because of movement restrictions, that didn't appear to be the situation, Goh Miah Kiat, Karex's CEO, told the media outlet.

The Malaysian contraceptive company produces about 5.5 billion condoms a year and is a supplier to brands such as Durex and ONE Condoms. It also produces its own condom brands.

Take three (never used!) condums.
Put a large rock inside each one, tie with a knot.
You now have a bunch of Bolas, perfect for hunting cattle!
Throw and tangle those little cattle legs right up.

A slumping condom isn’t a good look.

Ignorant of covid social distancing rules,

Its not just the pandemic. Sex has been down for awhile according to surveys. Men would rather beat off at home than risk a jail sentence and lifetime registration for forgetting to ask for verbal consent the 1 out of 10 times during a 10 minute session. The SJWs have finally achieved what some fundamentalists have yearned for for centuries.

Stress and depression suppress libido, sexual desire. Birth rates plunged during the Great Depression.
