World's most expensive condoms? Men paying £500 for pack of 36

Sex is expensive....lolsss...Soaring inflation in Venezuela has left couples in the country feeling deflated as the cost of their sex lives surges.
A pack of 36 condoms in the predominantly Catholic country now cost 4,760 bolívars - an eye-watering £495.
The nation - where abortion is illegal and rates of HIV infection and teenage pregnancy are among the highest in South America - has seen the price of household goods rocket after a collapse in oil prices.
According to a BBC report, oil makes up 95% of Venezeula's exports, and shop shelves have been left empty due to inflation caused by a lack of imported goods.
Lovers queue for blocks in the hope of picking up a packet of prophylactics, but some pharmacists in the capital, Caracas, have ran out entirely.
But now the president has ordered the takeover of private supermarket chain Dia a Dia, who he accused of causing food shortages.
