Where are there stores in Antarctica to buy condoms? Are they run by Penguins? Also, it's funny how in the States the government preaches abstinence for youngsters but ships 16,500 condoms to scientist in the South Pole.

Shik, check your math. There are 125 people on the base. 16,500 ÷ 125 equals an allotment of 128 condoms per person. Assuming that a person spread out their allotment over the entire year (the article quoted "a year's supply") then that means they'd use one every 2.8 days.
Of course, the male-to-female ratio does alter the picture somewhat, since technically, TWO people are using a condom at once.

I saw a documentary on that base once. They talked about how the flimsy walls between cubicles where people sleep mean there isn't really any privacy but people fuck anyway cuz you're stuck inside for 8 months.

I'd assume it must be pretty boring down there considering the lack of entertainment when they're done with all there scientist stuff and whatnot.
They might have an Xbox. And cards. But skrewing might pass the time well. But thats just my own experience

I like to read when I'm bored. And it is a huge complex, so I'd guess they have some form of entertainment other than screwing eachother. Perhaps they have gotten a shit load of movies in the shipment too. I doubt much of that comes their way often.
