If everybody knows everybody, and there are only 125 people stationed at the base. Why do they need 16,500 “anonymously available” condoms?

One of the last shipments to a U.S. research base in Antarctica before the onset of winter darkness was a year’s supply of condoms, a New Zealand newspaper reported on Monday.

Bill Henriksen, the manager of the McMurdo base station, said nearly 16,500 condoms were delivered last month and would be made available, free of charge, to staff throughout the year to avoid the potential embarrassment of having to buy them.

The base only has a skeleton staff through the long winter.

16,500 condoms for 125 people. Wow. That allows each person to have sex 132 times over the course of three months. Ninety days. Those stationed at the McMurdo base average more sex than most people in the “real” world.

The question is, can you really find someone you want to have sex with in Antarctica?
