No, I’m not making it up:
Sales of condoms and the anti-impotence drug Viagra have skyrocketed in China’s capital Beijing as citizens celebrate the annual Lunar New Year festival, state media said.
On the first day of the Year of the Rooster, drugstores in the city reported daily sales more than double compared with the end of January, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
A staff worker at the “Good for Every Day Drugstore” said he sold 100 packs of condoms a day, twice as many as usual, while a “Brand New Drugstore” pharmacist said the increase in sales of Viagra had been “dramatic.”
Xu Yan, a psychology professor at Beijing Normal University, said the phenomenon showed people were under massive psychological pressure from stressful city life.
“Their physical needs have been long neglected due to overwork and lack of sleep,” she said, according to Xinhua. She added the week-long holiday enjoyed by all city dwellers offered a good opportunity for “the awakening of their physical needs.”
Well, isn’t that what holidays are for? May they all enjoy a hot and happy new year.
