Ireland is the most expensive place to have sex in the world

For obvious reasons you can’t recycle a condom, but have you ever wondered which countries “tax” sex the most?

Well… Environmental Graffiti has decided to create a detailed graphical diagram, complete with wallpaper download for your viewing pleasure. The data, which gives the average condom price around the world has been compiled from UK price comparison site pricerunner and a blogger from an interesting little site called condomunity. We thought we’d go one step further however, and create a graphic representation of the findings - I think you’ll agree the graph makes for ‘interesting’ viewing.

When looking at it, please don’t deduce that bar heights are correlated to penis size (that’s just offensive).

Shanghai came out the cheapest with an average price of just $4.50 (£2.25), whilst Ireland was the country where sex costs the most (!) at almost $18 (£9) on average for a pack – (perhaps due to the hostility of the Catholic Church towards contraception?). Prices within the US showed a high amount of variation, from $9.50 (£4.75) in Houston to nearly $15 (£7.50) in New York - feel free to extrapolate from that what you wish…

I knew it.

I remember posting this in S&S, it's a damn shame Johnny's raincoat costs so much but we don't want him catching a cold. Alternatives: Tayto packet.

Lucky they didn't factor in the cost of buying yer wan drink. We'd be off the scale.

What difference realistically does the price of the rubber glove cost? It's probably the least expensive part of the entire process. They should be looking at the price of an evening at the theatre and a nice meal in a fancy restaurant (or 2 UCI cinema tickets and a Supermacs) rather than the price of condoms.

Or alternatively compare the price of hookers around the world.

It's in this months FHM

Kenya and India are the cheapest, 50 cent a ride.....

Slovenia, Croatia, Tenerife and Greece are nearly the most expensive at €100 a load...

Ireland and the UK are coming in about €50 a pop...

So who's coming to Kenya?:)

Thats the price you pay for living in the City. Down the country, a naggin of Vodka and a quick trip to Johnny O'Learys haybarn would normally suffice.

When it comes to shopping, these days i pretty much only buy food etc in shops, the sooner people realise how easy the internet is to use for shopping the better off this country will be

You should picket Lenister House and claim discrimmination/human rights violation.....wouldn't get you anywhere, but it would pass an afternoon:)

I like the term 'Gay Strength' by the way.......;)

It's only so expensive because our alcohol costs more and our irish wimmin have a greater tolerance to the stuff!

€8 for a pack of three from a pub vending machine on Saturday. Eight fecking euro, and I didn't even get a hung-over jump in the morning.

Which means I've got one for sale still. Perfect working order, in original wrapper, €2 or best offer secures.

Now, here's a thought....
Has anyone got a boat?

Maybe get together a gang of lads & lasses, hop over to the UK & go to the nearest Fam Planning Clinic....

Grab as many of the FREE condoms there as you can each carry... come back & sell 'em for 1 euro a go...

You'll make a fortune!

Or you could just make do with a few cold showers.. haha!

I'm SO glad I'm a married 47yr old - and SO glad that my condom years are a dim & distant past too! :P

Hate to ruin your business idea but Boots have a permanent 'Buy 1 Get 1 Free' offer on boxes of 12; Works out to about 50c per condom average price

Pretend to be a student in a few colleges during freshers week. Pick up LOADS of free condoms. Profit.

Also steal some bog roll while you're there.
