CANBERRA - Condom makers say it's the world's best job, a "sexecutive
position." An Australian company is seeking real life testers for its condom
products.

"Got what it takes to be an
official condom tester?" asks an advertisement launched by Durex Australia next
to a photo of a busty young woman in a revealing nurse's outfit.
"With this job on your CV, it really will be a chance to brag to your mates
about the special skills you possess, not to mention that your new role will
work wonders with the opposite sex," Durex Marketing Manager Sam White told
local media.
The "bed-testing" position is unpaid, but 200 selected testers would be up
for free pack of Durex products, plus a bonus prize of A$1,000 ($854) for one
lucky winner, White said.
In return, testers would have to report back on the feel and performance of
the company's products.
Only Australians need apply, and would-be testers will be asked to explain
why they should be considered. Humor would help in the application, Durex said.
"To apply, simply explain why you think you're right for the position
(missionary is acceptable) and you could be eligible for the employee bonus of
$1,000," said the ad on Web site www.durex.com.au.
