Condoms aimed at gardening loving mature Brits are being put on sale in some garden centres with the idea of encouraging the older generations to continue practising safe sex.
The odd range of gardening-themed condoms – naughtily nicknamed "hornicultural" prophylactics – were developed to counter the rising number of STIs, especially among the over 65s. They come in garden seed-style packaging and will be available in six innuendo-laden fruit and vegetable themes including plums, aubergine, avocado, artichokes, courgettes and onions.
Even more weird is the fact that the condoms are made from sustainable material and can be left in compost to biodegrade, presumably in preparation for sowing seeds next spring.
