We all know that they are highly effective when used properly, but crap does happen. So, if a condom breaks when correctly used, should the manufacturer and/or retailer be held responsible for the breakage and any consequential damages such as STD's, pregnancy & so on?

Also, if it breaks should you be able to return it to Wal-Mart?

**I just think this would be a really fun poll since we're always doing serious stuff in here.
 
Do you think condoms should come with warranty for regular wear and tear?
 
Can one prove that a condom broke because of a manufacturer defect and not from use? It's common sense that there is no 100% effective form of birth control and people need to understand this when having sex. I don't believe a manufacturer should pay for "consequential damages (aka a child)" if a couple had sex and the condom broke. Babies are a consequence of sex :shrug: That's biologically what sex is for.
 
Maybe they can start to rate them like they do tires. A certain model of condom will fit such and such size organ, goes for so many strokes and can be used up to such and such speed.

**Don't take this poll to serious now Digs...
 
Depends on how long the condom remained in the guy's wallet and how many years he sat on it before removing it from the wrapper.

How you going to prove that is the time she got pregnant and not the next night when they didn't use a condom?

.
 
If someone uses a condom like this...

...why should the manufacturer be responsible?
 
The manufacturer is responsible only if you have used Viagra at that time. :mrgreen:
 
Problem is not everyone knows how to handle condoms A: while storing them B: while fitting them for use properly.

Guys, don't keep them in your wallets...

Guys, make sure they're on the right way.
 
How do you prove it wasnt operator errror:lol:
 
No, the manufacturer shouldn't be responsible. They put a disclaimer on the package specifically to avoid that.

Personally I think all products should come with the following disclaimer:

"Your stupidity is not our problem".

Not if they post the appropriate warning on their box/wrapper.
 
I don't know.

All I know is I hate condoms and eventhough we don't need them anymore I still hate them when they show up in a porno.

So now guys are going to have to measure speed, and count during sex?

Woman: Faster baby, faster

Guy: Sorry, this is as fast as this brand will allow me to go....Oh, and I've got 10 pumps left.

I mean I guess you could put a new one on, but it will be like NASCAR when they pull in to change tires.

Since women say us guys only last 10 seconds (Like Al Bundy) the 10 pumps left will never be an issue.

As far as the rest goes. Maybe we can have a radar gun in the room to make sure we don't exceed the pumps per second rate of the condom.

Of course, then we're gonna need condoms for extra wet applications, dry applications, extremely tight tracks and ones that can handle it when the track is loose.

And then if the track conditions change, say from dry and tight to extra wet and loose then we're gonna have to have condoms that cover multiple applications.

:rofl "All terrain condoms . . ."

What was the phrase? "Wider is better" - it sounds fitting when you say it in french "est plus au loin meilleur"
 
Although I am not a fan of condoms, they have their time and their place. I would rather not have to spend $10 a condom because Durex or Trojan are passing on the cost of child support settlements and STD treatments they had suddenly became saddled with. Those controversial condom giveaways would be a lot fewer and farther between though :roll:

Seriously, common sense coupled with labeling on the box is sufficient to make one realize that a thin piece of stretched latex coupled with vigorous motion is prone to either breaking, or slipping off.
 
NO VOTE, again.
Its rigged and biased, why the slur against Planned Parenthood ?
The manufacturers are at 99.999...% , what more do you want ?
The problem is man, not the manufacturer.

Or the woman - why isn't she going for a female condom which are more durable and offer better protection and don't get in my visual as much when cruising tube8?
 
Come to think of it, how would you prove that the unexpected consequences were from a condom failure and not from going bareback, or form an entirely separate encounter without a condom and then trying to pin your lack of responsibility on the condom manufacturers?
