NEW YORK (Wireless Flash - FlashNews) In a moment of passion, fumbling through your nightstand for a condom can really make the heat fizzle.But now, the Zurich-based Swiss AIDS Federation is offering to deliver condoms to eager lovers by bicycle, with a catchy slogan for their service: We come before you come.
A spokesman for the health agency tells AOL News, The main purpose of this initiative is to create a buzz and help people remember safe sex rules and the need to carry condoms at all times, even in the most unforseen situations.
The group apparently feels that when the petting gets hot and heavy, you might not run out to the store for a rubber, but you might make a call.
And their bikers will pedal like mad to deliver their package before that climactic moment passes you by.
The Swiss are eager to help lovers because according to the Federation, more than 25,000 people are HIV-positive in Switzerland.
