Con(dom)fused

I can understand the production of counterfeit money.

I can understand the production of counterfeit jewellery.

I can understand the production of counterfeit art.

What I can't understand, however, is why on earth* anyone would want to produce counterfeit condoms.

* I really wanted to put "in the name of all that is holy", but figured that might just be a little bit too much in the context.

They fake everything these days aren't they? Nothing's real anymore. Those condoms are quite expensive though so I can see there's a business in selling plastic bags disguised as Durex ;)

Fake condoms for fake orgasms?

Hadn't thought about it that way.

... but it makes me think. If you use a fake condom to protect against the results of a fake orgasm, and the condom failed, would you have a fake baby?... and if so, would there be a market for a fake pregnancy test?

I might be overthinking this a tad.

Yes ...

Anyway, the result of a faked orgasm is no sperm so therefore there's no need for a fake condom to stop this non-existant goo from fulfilling its destiny.

Or something.
