Wanted: Condom testers

If you are above the age of 18, a male and seeking a job that combines work with pleasure, here is an unusual opening that promises a combination of both, reports PTI.

The post of a ‘condom tester’ is up for grabs as Durex, one of the world’s largest condom manufacturer has announced plans to recruit Indian males to test their products.

As the firm itself says, “After you have done full justice to the job, you have to provide Durex with feedback about product performance.”

In 2007, a two-year study by Indian Council of Medical Research had concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men. This led to a call for condoms of varying sizes to be made more widely available in India.
