SHENZHEN, China (Reuters) - China's first condom vending machines in the southern boomtown of Shenzhen have been such a hit that the experiment will be extended to other cities, the China Daily reported Wednesday. Each of the 50 machines owned and installed by a Hong Kong sex products company had sold between 2,000 and 3,000 condoms in the first month of operation, the paper said. The condoms sell for one yuan (12 US cents) apiece, packaged singly in a box. Sales had been driven by the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, the paper said. See infobeat.com
