What kind of prudes we have become..

Yesterday, I read a lead article in the Times of India, Mumbai edition that talked about MP government getting upset over the sale of Crezendo condoms manufactured by our very own public sector undertaking Hindustan Latex Limited.

It seems that the BJP government sees condoms only as a birth prevention device and they would have nothing to do with this product being sold in the market. They want the sales stopped and the product withdrawn (pun unintended).

What kind of prudes have we become?

For those who don't know the product, it is available online at http://shopping.sify.com/shopping/product_detail.php?pid=13177041&prodid=14210253

and is described as

CREZENDO VIBRATING RING FOR ULTIMATE PLEASURE --- The pack has a vibrating ring and three premium condoms. With Crezendo Vibrating Ring you can take your lovemaking to places it hasn't been before. Crezendo Vibrating ring is designed to take you for a 20 minute joyride through the realms of vibrating pleasure. It provides the ultimate stimulation for you and your partner. It is safe , reliable and comes with an instruction leaflet. It is truly your passport to "The Republic of Pleasure" (From the sify online e-commerce website, link provided above, not my words please)

Any dumb adult would know that intercourse is only possible when the mind is driven by desire and pleasure. It is that aching feeling that sends the blood rushing to the organs of procreation / recreation. Nobody indulges in sex only for the purpose of procreation. If that was the case there would be no rapes taking place in the world. I remember reading a quote which said that "If sex was such a dirty thing, why do people do it with someone they love" (source unknown).

Even to procreate, the process of copulation has to take place. And this is not possible if there is no rush of blood to the relevant organs of the body. A condom can only be rolled on if the stick is up (to put it in the most politically correct way).

When will the powers that be realize that there are more important issues like poverty, bad roads, unavailability of water and electricity to name some of the problems that affect the people of the country?

I agree that population is also a major issue, but at least they can leave the choice of condoms out of it.
