The Condom House Review in the Health Guide
Globe, helmet, little hat, sheath, cap, life-guard, raincoat, preservative, condom. In Spain they call it a “rubber”; in Argentina and Uruguay “liner”; in Peru “poncho”; in other countries “parachute”. In the United States “rubbers”; in United Kingdom “Johnny” or “love glove”, a “French Letter”; and in Brazil it is a “camisiña”
The one of less is like calling to so taken and brought condom, an invention of the past today, demands our attention; to be viewed as any other commonly used device. To adapt is to accommodate, to accept new circumstances or conditions.
As human beings we have developed a multitude of ways of adapting and prolonging life. When vaccines were invented, there was much resistance to using them. Now it is completely normal.. We have already adapted and we now considered them essential. Our grandparents never imagined that their children could live longer than they would by wearing a pacemaker… Adaptation.
While science works miracles to find cures for an endless list of diseases, among them, those that are sexually transmitted, we must reconcile ourselves to current circumstances. It is a difficult situation for us because we have the capacity to reproduce beginning at adolescence right up to our senior years. In addition, we can mate at any time of the year; when our sexual interest is easily stimulated. The hormones that send sexual impulses don’t know anything about waiting rooms. They do their job; the rest is up to us.
Do you think that a young person will wait patiently until science says eureka! Here are the cures, the vaccines, the antidotes? No, they must “adapt” to what that same science offers in the interim: using condoms not to abandon love, but rather to enable us to continue touching one another, exploring our sexuality both conscientiously and with pleasure.
The time has come when Mexico must include, as a staple, those lifesaving “Love Gloves” without surprise or fear. They must become a common, almost routinely used item that will allow users to rest at ease from the ideas and fears that inhibit pleasurable sensations, and prevent erotic creativity reducing to a minimum expression of those sublime and indescribable moments.
For some years now, there have been shops specializing in the increasing variety of “rubbers”, but here in Puerto Vallarta, we have the only condom shop in the region; where our products are guaranteed by the Federal Office of the Consumer Judge Advocate General.
Dolores Velasco is proprietor of “The Condom House”. A woman preoccupied with “educating and assisting people so that with more use the product will become increasingly familiar and serve to prevent diseases and unwanted pregnancies”. “Lolita” has fought almost literally against all odds so that her business is seen “in a positive light”, respected and integrated into a society that, I insist, must “adapt” and accept that the use of condoms has become necessary everywhere in the world, so that a great number of people can enjoy a healthy sex life, regardless of their personal preferences.
“The Condom House” offers Mexican, Japanese, German and North American brands. You can find individual condoms from $6 pesos, to packages for $88 pesos; they are available with and without lubricant, with spermicide, and in various colors, transparent or opaque, and even fluorescent. They may be smooth textured (ring, studs); scented or flavored like vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, or banana; with special anatomical shapes; lengths, widths or sizes; thicker material (extra strength) or thinner (more sensitive).
Women’s condoms are also available made of polyurethane, oral condoms, latex gloves and finger cots; gels, flavored lubricants, edible thongs, prophylactic foams; massage oils, suntan oils, incense, caps and t-shirts with the Condom Shop logo; candles, sunglasses and even “pleasure honey”; bottles of “pheromones”. There are books on everything from sexual education published by the Secretariat of Education, others with gay themes or even Mexican cooking, architecture, decor and dictionaries. Ah! And something very important; leather “portacondoms” to keep your condoms in perfect condition and to ensure that nothing gets in the way of that magic moment.
The Condom House, in simple premises in the “Playa Bonita” area of Colonia Amapas. Since then they have had all types of customers, including whole families and women looking for birth control for their sons. We must get used to this kind of shop and the reality that young people should not be making love without protection.
“As both Freud and Jung have explained, most forms of crime and antisocial behavior can be traced back to some type of sexual frustration or dysfunction. Social harmony in general begins in bedroom” - Daniel Reid (North American writer).
