Does that mean more babies or less sex ?

If you don’t want babies but still want to have sex, there is always a***.

Considering 36 decent condoms is at $19 on Amazon right now, that's an extra 17¢ per condom. That's probably the cheapest thing being used that night. Aren't condoms available for free if you know where to look?

It should be only a fraction of that, since the condoms consumers buy have a big margin and the company above sells to big brands and aid organization at rates much closer to the true cost of production.

Is that because Trump is f****** around with everything so much, he's finally run out of rubber ?

The price of condoms are not affecting the amount of births, not yet anyway.

Oh cum on, this isnt fair. Nothing says “global crisis” like making protection less affordable. Bold strategy Karex. Guess we’re all just raw-dogging inflation now.

And that is how you find out that this was the long game of how the governments with declining populations will get their birth rates up. Start a war.
