Cops Bust Rubber Robbers Accused of Stealing 700,000 Condoms
By not in system - AOL NewsKUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Malaysian police say they have recovered about 700,000 condoms that were stolen while being shipped to Japan two months ago.

Commemorative Condoms Rolled Out for Royal Wedding
By Theunis Bates - AOL NewsLONDON -- When Prince William and Kate Middleton finally say "I do" on April 29, millions of watchers gathered at street parties across the U.K. will erupt in cheer. But a London-based condom firm is calling on romantically minded Brits to avoid these public festivities and instead celebrate at home with a pack of its royal-wedding-themed rubbers. The appropriately named Crown Jewels -- which describes itself as "the proud purveyor of an exclusive range of heritage love sheaths" -- introduced its "king" of condoms last week. The company already has sold more than 1,000 packets, reports ...
Handy 'Mile High Kit' Provides Pleasure in the Skies
By Monica Garske - AOL NewsHaving sex on an airplane may sound risque, but getting your jollies in the skies doesn't have to be as wild as it seems. In fact, you can be downright discreet about it. That's the idea, at least, behind the Mile High Intimacy Kits created by Seattle-based entrepreneur Ted Youngs. The kits -- packaged in subtle, travel-ready boxes -- contain everything a jet-setter could ever want or need for a quickie, spur-of-the-moment tryst aboard an airplane. The main selling point is that the kits are so inconspicuous, no one would ever have to know your naughty intentions. At a glance, the boxes ...
Elders Enjoying More Sex but Risking More Disease
By Robert W. Stock - AOL NewsA recent flurry of scientific reports should remove any lingering suspicion that older people automatically lose their sex drive the minute they hand in their retirement papers. That's the good news. The bad news is that too many of these turned-on elders are also contracting sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV, chlamydia and genital herpes. The National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior, based at the University of Indiana where Dr. Alfred Kinsey led the first large-scale studies of human sexual behavior more than 60 years ago, broke new ground by including the entire age spectrum ...
French Aristocrats Debut 'Luxury' Condoms
By Ben Muessig - AOL NewsThere's certainly a market for luxury cars and luxury condos. But what about luxury condoms? A pair of self-described French aristocrats have launched a high-end condom company that aims to offer customers protection -- as well as an air of prestige. The minds behind The Original Condom Co. say there is a demand for classier prophylactics in the same way there is a demand for luxury brands like Rolls Royce, Cartier and Dior. The Original Condom Co. What does your condom say about you? The prophylactics manufacturers at The Original Condom Co. say they've made a classier condom ...
Vatican Clarifies Pope's Statements on Condoms
By David Gibson - Politics DailyThe Vatican has clarified controversial statements by Pope Benedict XVI on condom use to prevent AIDS in an effort to end speculation that he has relaxed the church ban on artificial birth control. But the Catholic Church also spoke out to head off a dispute among conservatives over what the pontiff really meant. In the statement issued on Tuesday, the Vatican said that Benedict's comments in a book-length interview last month did not mark "a break with the doctrine concerning contraception," an interpretation that some media outlets made in the immediate aftermath of the publication of the ...
Vatican Says Pope's Comments on Condoms Were Misunderstood
By not in system - AOL NewsVATICAN CITY -- The Vatican on Tuesday sought to clarify the pope's controversial comments about condoms and HIV, saying he by no means suggested condom use could be condoned as a means of avoiding pregnancy. The Vatican's moral watchdog, the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, issued a statement Tuesday saying some commentators had misunderstood and misrepresented the pope's remarks in a book-length interview released last month entitled "Light of the World." The Vatican has been under pressure from conservative theologians to issue such a clarification amid widespread confusion ...
Pope Has Not Endorsed Condoms for Cats, Contrary to PETA Leaflets
By David Gibson - Politics DailyPope Benedict XVI's comments last month that using condoms could be justified at times, such as by a male prostitute trying to prevent spreading AIDS, have continued to roil Catholics, especially after the Vatican clarified that the pontiff intended his remarks to apply beyond sex workers and include anyone facing such difficult choices. Now PETA, the global animals-rights advocacy group, has found a clever -- some might say irreverent -- way to capitalize on Benedict's opening by extending his concern, albeit via some nifty photo editing, to the plight of cats and dogs who breed like ...
Breakthroughs in AIDS Epidemic Are Not a Silver Bullet
By Paul Wachter - AOL News(Nov. 24) -- It's been a good week for the global fight against AIDS, with the pope flip-flopping on years of church edict by approving the use of condoms, the emergence of a new drug that drastically reduces the chances of HIV contraction and a U.N. report that says the number of new cases of AIDS has dropped 20 percent over the past decade. Though much progress appears to have been made, it may be premature to celebrate the end of the AIDS epidemic. The pope's qualified comments on condom use -- that it was better to use a condom than not and spread infection -- have yet to gain ...
