In which country were condoms sold door to door?

While all female sexual anatomy is virtually the same, a woman's sexuality is not the same. As long as a woman accepts her body and is willing to explore her desires, her sex life can be filled with complete satisfaction and enjoyment without feeling the need to compete with everybody else.
