‘The Horticultural Society’s’ vegetable-themed condoms campaign seeks to break down stigmas by shining a light on the beauty of sex and intimacy in later life, as per ANI.

A relationship counselling organisation ‘Relate’ has invented a different line of contraception that takes a profoundly greener approach to safe sex.

The organization has developed a healthy line of “Horticultural Society” condoms infused with various fruits and vegetables. They have courgette, plum, aubergine, onion, and avocado. These condoms are disguised in packaging that looks like a packet of seeds bought from the farm.
