We can’t help but sing Pharrell’s HAPPY when we hear news like this – after a year of depressing, sexless, masked up living, singles are back to booty – and doing it the safe way. Via CNN:

Condom sales have been in a slump during the pandemic as people sheltered at home and put their sex life on hold. But now, as more Americans are getting vaccinated and Covid-19 safety restrictions are loosening, condom makers are no longer having trouble getting their sales up.

Male condom sales in the United States increased 23.4% to $37 million during the four weeks ending April 18 compared with the same stretch a year ago, according to the latest figures from IRI, a market research firm that tracks point-of-sale data at big box retailers, grocery stores, drug stores and other retail channels.

That’s after a 4.4% drop in all of 2020, according to IRI.Reckitt Benckiser (RBGLY), the maker of Durex condoms, said Wednesday that Durex logged a double digit percentage sales increase during the company’s latest quarter compared with the same quarter last year. Durex sales grew last year, despite a “challenging first half of the year,” and sales were flat in 2019.

Seems like a good time to invest in sex, doesn’t it?!
