A condom shop was\u00a0necessary\u00a0because of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/HIV\/AIDS\">AIDS<\/a>, the epidemic of the eighties. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was a deadly disease in those days. When you think about Aids you look, sour, sore and sad. We thought that if you make love in times of aids but you use a condom you can smile again! And that was the philosophy, to give the smile back to the people with safe sex.\u00a0On the 20th of April we decided to do it and we opened the shop on the 30th of April 1987.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_did_people_react_when_you_started_this_now_famous_condom_shop_Amsterdam\"><\/span>How did people\u00a0react when you started this now famous condom shop Amsterdam?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">When we started discussing this idea immediately the smile came on the faces of the people. We took it very seriously. Despite the art that we have, the color, the open atmosphere and the transparency, the fun parts, we seriously focus on the condoms. But even if you talk serieus about sex and safe sex automatically a smile will be on everybody&#8217;s face. So we have that perfect combination between serieus and fun.<\/p>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10091 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Amsterdam-Condom-Shop-Condomerie-Condoms.jpg\" alt=\"Condom Shop Condomerie Amsterdam\" width=\"800\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Amsterdam-Condom-Shop-Condomerie-Condoms.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Amsterdam-Condom-Shop-Condomerie-Condoms-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_does_the_name_%E2%80%9Ccondom%E2%80%9D_come_from\"><\/span>Where does the name &#8220;condom&#8221; come from?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">Nobody knows exactly. They say it&#8217;s latin, they say it&#8217;s from England, some say it&#8217;s from France, but I guess it has something to do with the latin origin but I&#8217;m not sure. The word Condomerie is something else! It does not exist, it&#8217;s a word we invented, it sounds French but it isn&#8217;t. In French it would be &#8220;capotterie&#8221;. In Dutch the word Condomerie gives a smile and some chicness. Lenny Bruce was my inspiration, he said &#8220;tits and ass is dirty, but if you say it in French it&#8217;s art&#8221;. So we decided on Condomerie.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Could_you_tell_us_something_about_the_history_of_the_condom\"><\/span>Could you tell us something about the history of the condom?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">The word condom is a couple of hundred years old probably. The condom itself, the history of the condom, is much much older. I like to study so I know that 5000 years ago king Minos on Crete used fish bladder condoms. But that was just written history, I&#8217;m pretty sure oral history goes even further back in time, maybe 10 &#8211; 20,000 years old. If we consider homo sapiens as our equal they had the brain to draw conclusions so I&#8217;m pretty sure it was used worldwide as a prevention tool.<\/p>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14561\" src=\"http:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Amsterdam-Condom-Shop-Condomerie-Red-Light-District-Tourguide.jpg\" alt=\"Amsterdam Condom Shop Red Light District area\" width=\"528\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Amsterdam-Condom-Shop-Condomerie-Red-Light-District-Tourguide.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Amsterdam-Condom-Shop-Condomerie-Red-Light-District-Tourguide-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Amsterdam-Condom-Shop-Condomerie-Red-Light-District-Tourguide-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">When we started the condom shop in 1987 we were lucky because the Dutch liberal\u00a0approach\u00a0on sex education in general already existed. I believe that it existed because of the pragmatic approach of the Dutch in general. When you have a problem you have to solve it. It has to do with water, with dikes and other stuff but also with sex education. You also need a liberal mindset within society but also within the churches and that already existed. Of course you have left and right wing parts in the churches but for example in the sixties my father was involved in the protestant church in the legalisation of condom sales, and also sex education in primary schools. You need to educate your population. You need to provide them with products to protect themselves. You need to provide them with the knowledge to know how to protect themselves. If you don&#8217;t do that as a society or as a country in my belief you&#8217;re pretty stupid. The people living in all countries worldwide are not stupid and they are eager for knowledge. Sometimes politicians and decision makers are blocked by some belief, not religious per se, but just to stop educating their people.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sex_Education_In_Public_Schools\"><\/span>Sex Education In (Public) Schools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10092 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dutch-Condom-Shop-Sex-Education-Amsterdam.jpg\" alt=\"Dutch Condom Shop Amsterdam\" width=\"720\" height=\"746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dutch-Condom-Shop-Sex-Education-Amsterdam.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dutch-Condom-Shop-Sex-Education-Amsterdam-290x300.jpg 290w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"At_which_age_should_people_or_teenagers_get_sex_education\"><\/span>At which age should people or teenagers get sex education?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">In the Netherlands\u00a0you get sex\u00a0eduction in schools. I remember that I got my first sex education from the head of the primary school when I was 11 years old. It took around an hour but I only remember a single point he wrote down on the chalkboard. We believe now, because of our experience in the Condomerie with education and helping schools, that sex education should be given four times. The first time should be in primary school, the second time should be in secondary school in the first year when the are 12\/13. When they become sexually active around the ages of 15\/16\/17 they should get the third instalment. And we believe it should be repeated when children leave the home. So when they go into the army, start at a job, studying, you have to repeat it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_you_think_sex_education_needs_to_be_started_at_this_young_age\"><\/span>Why do you think sex education needs to be started at this young age?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">At a young age you have to explain it because they are starting to experiment with their thoughts, you don&#8217;t have to be very explicit. Unfortunately nowadays with the internet and social media children get confronted with images from a very young age. Don&#8217;t be naive, you have to tell them. Tell it in a good way, but not everything, you just have to start with it. If you ask young people about kissing you have to watch their expression if you start about adults kissing or parents kissing. Almost every young child finds that to be one of the most dirty things in life. But you have to educate them in a smart way.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Target_Audiance_For_The_Condomerie_Condom_Shop_Amsterdam\"><\/span>The Target Audiance For The \u00a0Condomerie Condom Shop Amsterdam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10094 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Amsterdam-Condom-Store-Sex-Education.jpg\" alt=\"Funny Condoms Condomerie Amsterdam\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Amsterdam-Condom-Store-Sex-Education.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Amsterdam-Condom-Store-Sex-Education-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_do_most_of_the_customers_in_your_condom_shop_come_from\"><\/span>Where do most of the\u00a0customers in\u00a0your condom shop come from?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">When we started in &#8217;87 we were in the centre of Amsterdam. From the start we have had Dutch customers, local customers, from the rest of the country and prostitutes. The prostitutes have all different nationalities. And because Amsterdam is a tourist destination we also get people from all over the world. In the beginning we had people from Thailand from the ministry of health to see how we were doing it. We have a Dutch approach but we get interest from all over the world. What I have found out is that every culture and country is interested in a pragmatic good solution.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_mostly_men_or_women_who_buy_condoms_in_your_shop\"><\/span>Is it mostly men or women who buy condoms in your shop?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">Of course we sell male condoms since 1987. But not to our surprise women are also really interested. It&#8217;s probably 50\/50 between men and women. We predominately focus on the women part because they are more interested in self protection because they can get pregnant. Their reproductive health and sexual hygiene are important. So it&#8217;s been 50\/50 from 1987 all the way till the present.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14562 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Famous-Condom-shop-Amsterdam-Red-Light-District.jpeg\" alt=\"The most famous condom shop in Amsterdam's Red Light District\" width=\"665\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Famous-Condom-shop-Amsterdam-Red-Light-District.jpeg 665w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Famous-Condom-shop-Amsterdam-Red-Light-District-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Famous-Condom-shop-Amsterdam-Red-Light-District-298x300.jpeg 298w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Famous-Condom-shop-Amsterdam-Red-Light-District-180x180.jpeg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_most_sold_product_in_your_condom_shop\"><\/span>What&#8217;s the most sold product\u00a0in your condom shop?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">In the beginning I did research for the brands and the novelty stuff. The novelty stuff like a hand or an elephant, everybody want&#8217;s to take a picture of that, but believe me, they only buy that one time. The most sold condoms, maybe 98\/99%, are the dull standard\u00a0condoms. But they do of course differ in size, material etc. etc. The normal condoms are sold the most, in the millions!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_someone_has_an_allergy_for_latex\"><\/span>What if someone has an allergy for latex?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">In 1987 the first questions were about sizes and latex allergy! So we researched that and asked advice from dermatologists and we developed our own allergy system which we called &#8220;CASSFFAC&#8221;. It stands for Condomerie, Amsterdam, Search System, For Finding, Allergy free, Condoms. That is what we use to advise people on allergy free condoms.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Condom_Safety_Tips\"><\/span>Condom Safety Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10095 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Condomerie-Condom-Shop-Amsterdam-Holland-small.jpg\" alt=\"Condom Shop Netherlands Amsterdam\" width=\"800\" height=\"592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Condomerie-Condom-Shop-Amsterdam-Holland-small.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Condomerie-Condom-Shop-Amsterdam-Holland-small-300x222.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_important_to_guaranty_the_safety_of_a_condom\"><\/span>What&#8217;s important to guaranty the safety of a condom?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">What we learned pretty quickly is that size is very important for safety. The standard size fits around 80% of all men so that&#8217;s fine. But you really need a good size, if it is too big it slides off, if it is too small it breaks! Circumference size is maybe even more important than thinness. The quality of the condom itself is of course also really important. In Europe the EU quality stamp is CE. ISO is the international standard, we are members of that organisation and the quality of condoms is written down for global use. The current set standard is ISO 4074 &#8211; 2002 but we are working on an update. Wherever you buy a condom both standards tell you that it is a good condom! Much better than 27 years ago. I&#8217;m not a big fan of the European community project because of some crazy rules but in this case it definitely works and the world standard is also helping to protect the people.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Condom_Market_Trends\"><\/span>Condom Market Trends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10097\" src=\"http:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Amsterdam-Condom-Shop-Safe-Sex.jpg\" alt=\"Condom Shop Amsterdam Safe Sex\" width=\"600\" height=\"672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Amsterdam-Condom-Shop-Safe-Sex.jpg 714w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Amsterdam-Condom-Shop-Safe-Sex-268x300.jpg 268w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_latest_trends_in_condom_shopping\"><\/span>What are the latest trends in condom shopping?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">In 87 we had a couple of different brands but the development speeded up a lot. In the 90&#8217;s you had the non-latex condom and the arrival of the female condom. The female condom is made from nutrition and polyethyleen. It&#8217;s a good product. Then you had a trend with thinner condoms, non-latex condoms, sensoprene,\u00a0isoprene. We still sell the sheep gut condom which is new but in a way also very old. The funny thing is that you have all kinds of new stuff and new trends but everybody entering the safe sex market is a newby. That is the fun part about selling condoms, every year you have a new generation who needs explanation! Luckily we can help them much better these days in finding the best option for them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_reason_for_the_female_condom_not_being_really_popular\"><\/span>What&#8217;s the reason for the female condom not being really popular?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">The female condom entered the market in 1992. I think it&#8217;s a very good option. Back then I figured that the market for the female condom market would be very small, around one or two percent. People say that it doesn&#8217;t sell that well versus male condoms but you should not look at it that way. In the Netherlands we have a whole range of options to protect ourselves and we should be happy with that. Something selling better than the other is really irrelevant for the consumer, they should be happy that there are so many options.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Condom_Tips_and_Tricks\"><\/span>Condom Tips and Tricks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10101\" src=\"http:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Condomerie-STD-Test-in-Holland.jpg\" alt=\"Condoms Condom Shop Amsterdam Netherlands\" width=\"600\" height=\"671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Condomerie-STD-Test-in-Holland.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Condomerie-STD-Test-in-Holland-268x300.jpg 268w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Could_you_share_some_dos_and_donts_with_condoms\"><\/span>Could you share some do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts with condoms?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">When we started we developed our own list of do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts to help our customers. One example is that young people like to shave. Strangely enough all the hipsters grow big beards but down there they shave! If that shaven hair grows then you have sharp hair and sometimes that sharp hair can cause breakage of the condom. Another example is making love for too long causing too much stretch of the condom. We advice a formula one tire change kind of pit stop to solve that problem. I challenge everybody to change their condom as fast as <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Max_Verstappen\" rel=\"noopener\">Max Verstappen<\/a> changes his tires.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_would_you_like_to_say_to_the_visitors_of_Amsterdams_Red_Light_District\"><\/span>What would you like to say to the visitors of Amsterdam&#8217;s\u00a0Red Light District?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-l10n-id=\"\">We have a lot of\u00a0sex workers\u00a0here in Amsterdam and they should be respected at all times because they are practising safe sex while earning their money.
