The gang made $ 7 million recycling used condoms and selling them as new to hotels and supermarkets.

Police seized 500,000 boxes of counterfeit Durex condoms, complete with matching fake branded boxes, from workshops in three Chinese provinces. Seventeen people were arrested in Hebei, Henan, and Zhejiang after cops were tipped off that a local businessman was selling condoms for suspiciously low prices.

“The hygienic conditions in those villages were very bad. We saw the condoms they were making – they blended the condoms with silicone oil in a bucket. It was totally below official manufacturing standards,” said Cangnan police chief Zheng Xidan. The phony rubbers were made in Henan and Hubei provinces, then packaged in Zhejiang, according to authorities.

While the fakes were found to contain fungi, thin patches, and holes, retailers apparently couldn’t resist a bargain – the gang sold them wholesale for 14 cents per pack, a bargain compared to $ 22 for the real thing.

Condom counterfeiting is a big business in China, apparently – more than 10 similar cases have passed through Henan courts since 2014. The defendants who have been found guilty have received sentences of up to four years. In February, police seized two million phony Durex and Okamoto brand condoms in Yuncheng in neighboring Shanxi province.

In 2015, Shanghai police seized three million condoms believed to be worth $ 1.67 million and found they contained toxic metals. The condoms, which were being sold under popular brand names including Durex, were manufactured for just 1 cent apiece by a criminal network operating across eight provinces. Unlike the ring busted Tuesday, however, these fakers sold their product at full price on their online shop, reaching out to customers on social media.

Chinese knockoff condoms are unfortunately not just a problem for the Chinese. US customs authorities seized 40,000 Chinese-manufactured counterfeit condoms in San Juan, Puerto Rico last March. Chinese-made fakes have also turned up in Ghana.

If the goal of advertising is to get noticed, 7-Eleven has succeeded by creating print and video ads that portray the country as a place riddled with venereal disease. A video posted online shows Norway’s famously gorgeous scenery alongside some unexpected words.

“Norway. Land of the fjords, the mountains, the midnight sun, and chlamydia,” the text reads. “Norway has one of the highest rates of chlamydia in Europe. Visiting from abroad? Protect yourself against the locals! Get your condoms at 7-Eleven.”

But the advertising campaign didn’t stop there, with the convenience store chain also placing a print ad at Oslo Central Station – the arrival spot of many tourists visiting the country.

“Welcome to Norway! The Land of Chlamydia,” the ad reads.

The advertising campaign has ruffled the feathers of Norway’s official tourism office. “[This] makes Norwegians seem like uncouth, lewd, sex-mad people,” Visit Norway marketing developer Stein Ove Rolland told Dagbladet. 

“This is not a good advert for Norway, and as a depiction of Norway and Norwegians it is a disaster,” he added.

However, the ad has been praised by Tore Holte Follestad, assistant manager with the sexual health NGO Sex og samfunn (Sex and Society).

“In 2016, over 26,000 cases of chlamydia were diagnosed in Norway and Norwegians are not good at using condoms. The consequences can be discomfort, irritation and in worst cases it can lead to reduced fertility. Furthermore, you can infect others and become more susceptible to other sexually transmitted diseases,” he told Dagbladet.

7-Eleven has defended the ad, stressing that it did not intend to offend anyone.

“As with all slightly controversial campaigns, there have been both positive and negative reactions. So far, we have seen both types, which is expected when the aim is to get our young target audience to talk about the topic. It was not our intention to offend anyone with this campaign but we do want to create engagement and awareness around this topic,” 7-Eleven press spokesperson Thea Kjendlie told Dagbladet.

A Malaysian contraceptive company is attempting to add a little spice to their customer’s sex life by introducing a condom that tastes like one of the country’s favorite chilli-infused rice dishes.

The self-proclaimed world’s biggest condom manufacturer, Karex, offer a wide-range of flavoured condoms and recently added a ‘nasi lemak’, which translates to ‘fatty rice’, contraceptive to their vast collection.

The dish usually consists of rice cooked with coconut milk, and served with anchovies, roasted peanuts, a boiled egg, sliced cucumber and a dollop of fiery chili sauce, reports AFP.

“We Malaysians are divided across our political ideas, religion and race,” said Karex chief executive Goh Miah Kiat.

“I felt one thing that unites us all (is): ‘Where’s the best nasi lemak place you’ve been?'”

Kiat says the controversial flavours are more than just a marketing gimmick, and are actually intended to improve contraceptive use in the Muslim-majority country.

“For me, it’s about public health, and I want to get the message across to people,” Goh said.

Issa and Eddie in a scene from Insecure.

Determined to partake in some casual sex, Issa, the winsome, bumbling protagonist of HBO’s half-hour comedy Insecure, heads to her neighbor Eddie’s apartment under the pretext of returning his phone charger in “Hella Open,” the third episode of Season 2. They watch a bit of Gossip Girl before she initiates a kiss, accidentally hitting his nose.

“It’s all good, don’t worry,” says Eddie. “I actually like it a little rough.”

Thus begins a truly awkward sex scene, alternately cringe-inducing and hilarious in its depiction of first-time sex with a virtual stranger. Eddie can’t take her jeans off. Issa hits her head on the headboard. But eventually, with buttcheeks in full view (this is HBO, after all), they find a rhythm.

There was one thing conspicuously absent, however, in this frankly rendered depiction of a spur-of-the-moment hookup.

“I love love love #Insecure but I hate how they don’t mention/show condoms during all this random sex Issa and Molly be having,” one viewer tweeted the night the episode aired.

“Does anyone in #InsecureHBO use condoms or y’all just skip that part?” asked another.

Where are the condoms? wondered writer Jozen Cummings the next day: “Insecure has thrived because it depicts a reality that is drenched in awkward moments, and one of those awkward moments for anybody who has ever taken part in casual sex is what to do with a condom.”

Indeed, up until last week’s episode, “Hella LA,” there was nary a shot of a condom nor an allusion to other forms of contraception on the show. And while Insecure’s sex scenes aren’t nearly as ubiquitous as on some other HBO shows, the characters do have sex. Issa had impromptu, quick, wordless sex with her ex, Lawrence, in this season’s opener. And a big plot twist in the first season’s finale was a scene of Lawrence vigorously fucking a cheery bank teller after Issa had cheated on him with an old high school friend in an earlier episode.

Insecure’s showrunner, Prentice Penny, weighed in on Twitter two days after the controversy, “For the last time: 99% of the show our characters are protected. We get 28 minutes to tell a story, we use that to tell the story. We good?”

A week later, after Episode 4 aired, Insecure’s creator and star Issa Rae tweeted feedback of her own:

“We tend to place condoms in the backgrounds of scenes or imply them. But we hear you guys and will do better next season.”

The controversy surrounding Insecure’s condom use attests to both the sense of possessiveness fans have about a show that feels quietly revolutionary in its subtle, nuanced depictions of ordinary middle class black folks, and to a larger dilemma surrounding TV shows oriented toward twenty- and thirtysomething viewers. What responsibility, if any, do TV shows geared toward “mature adults” have to depict safe sex, or to show the consequences of unsafe sex?

“Young adults ages 18 to 29 actually have twice as many unplanned pregnancies as teens do,” says Marisa Nightingale, senior media adviser at the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, a nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy group that works to lower the rate of unplanned pregnancy among young people. Ten years ago, the organization began to devote more resources to reach young adults in that age bracket — forty percent of whom, according to Nightingale, aren’t using contraception consistently. And though the teen birth rate in the US is at an historic low (America still has the highest teen birth rate compared to other developed countries), according to a 2016 CDC report, STD rates are at an all-time high.

Studies have shown that television portrayals of sex are often people’s first exposure to sex, period. And the clamor for condoms on Insecure suggests that audiences still expect television programs to lead the way in that regard. But the history of safe sex in scripted TV has been one of good intentions, often clumsily and didactically delivered.

The first primetime sitcom to air the word “condom” was NBC’s Valerie (later changed to The Hogan Family), in a February 1987 episode featuring a teenage Jason Bateman. He’s about to hook up with a childhood friend, before he realizes that she’s not on birth control. She suggests he go to the drugstore to pick up “some protection, you know, condoms.” He accidentally gives his mom the bag of condoms and a sweet, kind of corny conversation between the two of them ensues. Although Bateman’s character and his friend never even end up consummating the relationship, the episode was controversial enough that some NBC affiliates refused to broadcast it, and there was a special warning before it aired: “Due to its subject matter, parents may wish to view tonight’s episode with their children.”

Television shows had alluded to contraception before; earlier in 1987, the CBS police-drama Cagney & Lacey won the distinction of being the first primetime drama to say “condom” (also in the context of a safe-sex talk between a parent and a teen). In a seminal offhand line, from a 1972 episode of TheMary Tyler Moore Show, Mary implies that she’s on the Pill when her mother tells her father as she’s leaving the house, “Don’t forget to take your pill!” and father and daughter both respond, “I won’t!” And there were Norman Lear’s shows All In The Family (1971–79) and Maude (1972–78), both of which featured storylines about birth control; Maude has an abortion in the latter show as well.

But the real boom years for safe sex–related content on TV would come in the 1990s, a direct result of an influx of teen-oriented scripted programming. In 1996, the same year the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancies was founded, 4 out of every 10 teenage girls would become pregnant. The Campaign quickly realized that television was the best way to get the news out about safe sex. “We turned to entertainment media because that’s where our audience was, is, and will be, especially on issues related to sex, love, and relationships,” says Nightingale. The Campaign started off in nonscripted TV (its first media partner was a series of town halls called “Don’t Kid Yourself” on BET), but began to venture into scripted programming shortly thereafter.

“Once [BET] brought our messages to life, we were able to show that to ABC, the WB, NBC, and the other networks,” says Nightingale. A long-lasting relationship with former WB head of programming Susanne Daniels meant that the Campaign was able to get in on the ground floor with shows like Dawson’s Creek and 7th Heaven. “Our conversations with the executive producers and writers were not, ‘don’t show teenagers having sex,’” says Nightingale. “Show the real consequences, show what happens when someone is not ready, show what happens when someone is ready and decides to use protection and what that looks like.” Nightingale stresses, though, that the Campaign has no creative control over the scripts: “The reason we’ve been allowed into the sacred space of writers rooms for 20 years is that we have the utmost respect for the creative process, and we know that these are their shows, not ours.”

The history of safe sex in scripted TV has been one of good intentions, often clumsily and didactically delivered.

Still, if you remember the scene in Dawson’s Creek when Dawson stands before the condom aisle at the drugstore and receives unwarranted recommendations from customers on what to get, you likely have the Campaign to thank. Gilmore Girls, 90210, Felicity — they all worked with the Campaign at some point or another, although it wasn’t the only nonprofit that worked with Hollywood. Advocates For Youth, another teen pregnancy prevention organization, had The Media Project, which was around in the 1970s and ’80s, but ended in 2008 because of budget cuts.

The Campaign regularly consults with TV show writers and network executives to this day on programs like Jane the Virgin, The Mindy Project, East Los High, and The Fosters. They fact-check scripts, offer statistics, and write social media posts and tweets in conjunction with series. When Jane the Virgin showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman needed perspective on what life would be like for a single mom in her twenties, she called on the Campaign. In an early episode of the Hulu show Casual, a spunky, sex-positive teen character sports a Campaign T-shirt that says “Thanks, birth control.”

But there is, of course, a big difference between teen shows and original scripted TV programming directed toward older viewers. There’s much less pressure for shows catering to older audiences to depict characters behaving responsibly. And while popular network TV sitcoms geared toward twenty- and thirtysomethings, like Friends and Seinfeld, featured sexually active adults who talked about birth control occasionally (Elaine had a diaphragm; Monica and Rachel once fought over who would use the last condom) — it was the advent of cable shows like Sex and the City, and more recently Girls, that really augured a sea change in the way sex is talked about and shown on TV.

Over the course of six seasons, the women of Sex and the City talked about or had a plethora of sex — oral, anal, good, illicit, confusing, queer. And their discussions around safe sex, while certainly not as frequent as the sex they were having, did form some narrative arcs. The need to get her diaphragm stops Carrie from immediately having sex with a then-married Mr. Big. Miranda gets chlamydia and has to call all her past sex partners. Samantha passes out in the clinic as she awaits the results of her first-ever HIV test.

The advent of cable shows like Sex and the City really augured a sea change in the way sex is talked about and shown on TV.

But while Sex and the City sex talk was frank and occasionally graphic, the sex depicted hardly felt visceral, or painstakingly true to life. In that sense, Girls offered a revelation. “If all you want to do is convey an erotic tension between two people, you can leave out explicit depictions of sex acts,” Elaine Blair wrote of the show in the New York Review of Books. “But if you are interested in the psychological implications of what happens between people during sex, you need to show something of the sex.” And on that front, early seasons of Girls delivered. The sex was generally awkward, disheartening, confusing, and directly addressed STDs (Hannah gets diagnosed with HPV and has oral herpes).

And as more platforms for original scripted TV programming crop up, with fewer strictures over what can or cannot be shown or talked about, shows with sex — real sex, with all its attendant dilemmas and awkwardness — are given room to thrive. Safe sex can be a real source of story movement, revealing things about characters that wouldn’t otherwise come to light.

A turning point on the Comedy Central show Broad City occurs when Ilana finds a used condom and Abbi is forced to lie about whom it belongs to, leading to the first significant fallout between the two best friends. In Catastrophe, a receipt Rob finds for his wife’s morning-after pill leads to a big fight. In Master of None, we first meet Dev and his eventual girlfriend Rachel looking up what happens when a condom breaks. On Being Mary Jane, the title character’s fastidious need for control filters into her approach to casual sex. All her sexual partners have to take rapid HIV tests (at least in earlier seasons). On the erstwhile Looking, one of the show’s main characters struggles to get used to having sex with his HIV-positive boyfriend. Clearly, there are a lot TV shows out there that are interested in depicting sex in all its strange, exhilarating, messy, technical glory.

Which brings us back to Insecure. “We’re not a documentary; we’re not a public service; we’re not a nonprofit,” showrunner Prentice Penny told me in a recent phone interview. “We’re a scripted television show, and so our thing is always about how do we tell the best story?”

“Our show tries to be nuanced and show the flaws and the imperfections, just like in real life,” Penny said. “There are times when you’re responsible, and you have safe sex; there are times when you’re irresponsible and you don’t, and there are times when you hook up with the ex and you go, well, we didn’t use condoms. It hasn’t been that long, so maybe we’re still okay.” He does think that there’s a lot of pressure on Insecure to tackle every subject because it’s a show that, in its HBO-grade depictions of black Angelenos, still feels rare. (Incidentally, according to a 2010 study by Indiana University, black and Latinx Americans are more likely to use condoms more than their white counterparts.) Also, just because condom use hasn’t been mentioned explicitly on the show doesn’t mean that the show’s creators haven’t put any thought into this idea. Penny stresses that their sex scenes are always designed to advance the story. “We’ve pulled sex scenes that just feel like sex scenes,” said Penny.

In last week’s episode, “Hella LA,” Lawrence has a threesome with two white girls. After raving about his “black cock,” both girls shun him when he can’t perform again right away.

According to Penny, there was a lot of thought that went into the threesome scene, particularly with the prop team. “A lot of conversations that we actually have about [safe sex happen] when we talk to our props department,” Penny said. “We were like, Well, what condom does Lawrence have. Are the condoms from the girls? And if the condoms are from the girls, do they have certain [expectations] because they deal with black men, so do they have Magnums?” And indeed, in the scene, there are two torn Magnum condom wrappers on the dresser.

It stands to reason that if a show is going to take up the mantle and write about sex in a way that feels honest, then whether or not the sex is safe and the means by which this is ensured — is of tantamount importance. If television programs are interested in depicting the more quotidian aspects of adult Americans, overlooking how safe sex and contraception factor into these plotlines seems like a missed opportunity.

Ultimately, Penny doesn’t begrudge the conversation around the way Insecure has depicted safe (and unsafe) sex.

“To me, this Twitter debate is kind of perfect for our show because we have so many discussions on our show that are uncomfortable,” said Penny. “It’s sort of ironic. This could very well be a topic that I could see all the girls in the show talking about in their own personal life.” ●

Removing a condom or other protective device during sex without permission could become an act of sexual assault for the first time in the US under bills being introduced by lawmakers in Wisconsin and California.

Removing a condom without permission — known as “stealthing” — is not a new phenomenon, but garnered national attention last month after Yale Law School graduate Alexandra Brodsky published on how online groups are perpetuating and encouraging the practice.

Wisconsin Democratic Rep. Melissa Sargent was the first in the nation to propose a bill that would modify her state’s interpretation of consent to ensure that sex is not consensual if a “partner removes a sexually protective device, like a condom, during a sexual act without telling the other person who agreed to have sex with that device in tact,” she told to BuzzFeed News.

“We are learning that this is a common thing,” Sargent added. “A lot of people had felt like it was just them.”

The law would also apply to women regarding diaphragms, cervical caps, and other devices intended to prevent pregnancy. It has received 11 co-sponsors in the Assembly and the Senate and will be formally introduced this week, Britt Cudaback, Sargent’s legislative assistant, told BuzzFeed News on Monday.

Rep. Cristina Garcia of California also introduced legislation last week that would expand the state’s definition of rape to include tampering with a protective device during sex without the other person’s knowledge.

“This has happened to me,” Garcia said. “People are having a hard time with this idea because they’re like, ‘The sex is consensual.’

In the United States, there is no law against the act of stealthing, so by legally classifying the act as sexual assault, Sargent and Garcia hope to magnify the issue at a national level and shift the conversation from the threads of Reddit to institutions like schools so people can understand it’s a violation.

“It’s no longer consensual if you take a condom off without my permission,” Garcia said.

California law currently defines rape as penetration by a body part of a foreign object without consent. Removing a condom without asking during sex, the lawmakers say, means there is penetration without consent.

“It’s about power and you think you have ownership of someone’s body and you don’t,” Garcia said.

If the law passes, anyone accused of stealthing could face rape charges and jail time.

Kate-Lynn Brown said she still feels “so violated and used” after a guy she had been seeing for a few months took his condom off while they were having sex last summer. She has since graduated from college, but told BuzzFeed News she still tries to convince herself what happened to her was not her fault.

“It was devastating,” the 22-year-old said. “Allowing myself to truly think what happened to me was sexual assault is going to help me heal.”

Brown is not alone. Similar stories and reactions are scattered across internet forums, with people describing their own experiences with men removing a condom during sex without their consent or knowledge, but not quite knowing if it was “wrong.”

“Their stories often start the same way, ’I’m not sure if this is rape, but…’” Brodsky said.

Discussion on Reddit mirror the ongoing debate among legal experts, victims’ rights advocates, and politicians on how exactly to define and punish the act.

Data, however, is slim. Several organizations that track rape and sexual assault said they do not have specific numbers on women who have reported their partner removing a condom without asking. One in seven women, however, have experienced a partner interfering with their contraception, according to the National Crime Victimization Survey. “

“Sexual assault is defined differently by each state, but stealthing is a violation of consent. If someone has consented to using a condom during sex and someone takes it off, it’s a violation of consent that a person has given,” said Jodi Omear, vice president of communications for the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN).

However, Cornell law professor Sherry Colb contends “stealthing” should not be categorized as sexual assault, writing in the blog Justia that “a lack of consent is different from a lack of informed consent.”

“Whether or not we consider it to be a kind of sexual assault (and I do not), stealthing subjects people to health and pregnancy risks that the people at issue never agreed in any way to accept,” she argued. “The lack of informed consent does render the conduct at issue a harm, even if the harm is not comparable to a sexual battery.”

Perpetrators, however, would not be secretly slipping off condoms if they were not intending to mislead their partner, making the act a violation of consent, said Carly N. Mee, an attorney at SurvJustice, which advocates for victims of sexual assault.

“Consent is step-by-step,” Mee told BuzzFeed News. “You don’t consent to any and all sexual activity by consenting just to one.”

Her organization has worked with victims of nonconsensual condom removal who have sought help or legal recourse, which is currently dependent on how certain prosecutors try cases since there is no record of “stealthing” being tried as sexual assault, she said.

“We don’t have a high success rate,” Mee said. “This type of violation of consent is not widely understood, so a judge or jury might not be trained to understand it. That’s what needs to change.”

While Brodsky says she does not take a position on whether the act should be classified as rape, she notes that her research highlighted similarities between the two, and that one woman she interviewed called it “rape-adjacent.”

“They sensed something bad or wrong had happened to them and felt like a violation, but they didn’t have the vocabulary to describe or process it,” Brodsky told BuzzFeed News.

She praised the lawmakers’ efforts in Wisconsin and California, but stressed her desire for a new civil law that specifically addresses nonconsensual condom removal to provide a more defined legal path for victims.

“The law is often skeptical of survivors, especially if they have had a sexual history or past with someone,” she said. “A new tort may be helpful for victims who face skepticism from judges or juries about whether the harm fits into a pre-existing category.”

Garcia and Sargent acknowledge that it will be difficult for stealthing victims to take their cases to court due to the murkiness surrounding consent, but say that just bolsters their case for legislative action.

“It’s like date rape,” Garcia said. “But just because it’s hard doesn’t mean we should not push it forward.”

New guidelines from the National Health Service have said popular dating apps like Tinder should be targeted by organizations distributing free or cut price condoms in a bid to reduce rates of sexually transmitted infections.

The wide-ranging guidelines, issued by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) earlier this week, call for a range of condom distribution schemes to be provided to “meet the needs of different local populations.” The publicizing of such schemes should be done “on social networking apps (used to find local sexual partners) or websites (such as the NHS condom locator) and social media.”

NICE hopes that advertising on these platforms would point those most at risk of STIs to places where free or cost price condoms are distributed, such as pharmacies, GPs, universities and youth groups.

While there has been an overall decrease in the total number of STIs being diagnosed as of 2015, data from Public Health England shows that there have been large increases among young people aged 16- 24 and gay men.

Roughly 435,000 STIs were diagnosed in England in 2015 and NICE said that wider distribution of condoms could “significantly reduce” this figure, saving the National health Service millions of pounds a year.

Rates of syphilis rose by a staggering 76 percent from 2012 to 2015, while cases of gonorrhea rose by 53 percent over the same period. Chlamydia and genital warts were most common in the 15 to 24 age group, while most diagnosed with gonorrhea and syphilis were homosexual men.

“Condoms are the best way to prevent most infections being passed on through sex,” Professor Mark Baker, Director of the Centre for Guidelines at NICE said in a statement. “If local authorities and other commissioners can work together to improve condom availability and use amongst people at high-risk we could significantly reduce the rates of STIs.”

The product will initially be offered in the U.K. only. Customers in the U.S. and other nations will need to show restraint.

The “world’s first smart condom” isn’t actually a condom. It’s a girth-adjustable ring that will “sit over a condom at the base.” So let’s be polite and call it a penis ring. The company swears it’s comfortable, water resistant, and lightweight enough so you can use it over and over again. The little bugger doesn’t get in the way and you can use any actual condom you’d like with it.

British Condoms says, “you won’t even know it’s there, ensuring maximum pleasure and peace of mind.” Peace of mind, we suppose, unless you’re wondering what your numbers will be like, but that begs the question why you decided to keep track of your member’s numbers in the first place.

The ring holds a nanochip, sensors, a Bluetooth wireless transmitter, and a battery. The battery charges via a MicroUSB port. Charging takes about one hour and each charge is good for 6 to 8 hours of use. Ponder that for a moment or two.

According to British Condoms, the sensors “measure and remember a number of different variables during your sessions.”  Assuming you’re OK with a wireless transmitter in your penis ring, after you’ve finished, it downloads the session data to whatever mobile device you’ve joined it with. At that point, just as you might expect, it erases the data till next time. Heartless, we know.

But what numbers does the i.Con track? As mentioned above, there’s nothing about Mr. Johnson’s length, but girth is indeed scored, or rather recorded. Other closely gathered metrics include calories burnt, thrust speed, number, and velocity, and average skin temperature as well as session frequency and total session duration. So perhaps in that last bit, there is some data that could matter to others or to one other.

Data on different positions is coming soon, the company promises, but that metric is still in beta testing.

In its FAQ-style release, British Condoms replied to a question about data privacy and if anonymous use is possible. “Absolutely! All data will be kept anonymous but users will have the option to share their recent data with friends, or, indeed the world. You will be able to anonymously access stats that you can compare with i.Con users worldwide.” So we all have that to look forward to should the data migrate to social media.

While no firm date has been set, British Condoms says the i.Con Smart Condom will be available in 2017. After an initial market entry in the U.K., the company says that due to widespread interest from retailers they expect the smart penis ring to be available in the U.S. and around the world.
