Seniors, Sex, and Gardening

Research by UK-based relationships charity Relate suggests that over half of Britons over the age of 65 consider themselves to be “sexually adventurous”.  Combined with data showing a rise in sexually transmitted infections in this age group, this has prompted Relate to launch a limited-edition collection of vegetable-themed condom packets targeted at seniors. 

Why vegetables?  It seems that research by the charity also showed that gardening is an activity that seniors thoroughly enjoy… topped only by having sex and seeing family.  In keeping with that, the packaging mimics that of seed packets, and is available at a London nursery.  Adding a dash of cheekiness, the collection is labelled ‘The Hornicultural Society’.
