I’ve been meaning to get into posting online community and online dating related topics for a while now and here it is. I’m especially happy to introduce you to a fellow Swiss startup that makes handy little tools called “Pokens” to help you connect with other people.

Let’s assume you’re getting to know a lot of people at a party or a business meeting. How can you possibly store all of their contact information in an easy way (even more now that everyone has at least 10 different online social network profiles and no one’s asking for phone numbers anymore)? Enters Poken a cute little usb device that you’re going to carry on you from now on.

The little pandas, aliens or geishas (at the time being there are 8 designs) will store all of your networking information and upon “high fiving” another Poken you’ll exchange addresses and may connect online later. Later, meaning whenever you have any computer with Internet access ready, you can sync your contacts to your own profiles without much further ado.

Your bee will store up to 64 contacts and keep them handy for you.

We have word that Sagami released a new model for the Japanese market just in time for Valentine’s Day, 14th of February 2009.

The product is called Sagami Original 0.02 Premium and is supposed to be the thinnest polyurethane condom available on the market. It is an addition to their preexisting product family Sagami Original Premium (as you may have guessed).

What makes it really special is the price tag of about 2000 Yen (22 USD) for 4 pieces. The black look gives it some sort of luxury aura.

Some of the advantages reported by Sagami are:

There are definitely many uses for condoms, some of which I’ve previously introduced you to like condoms as props in Indian action movies or as party lights. Today I’d like to show you another creative way of using your condoms, which even I had not imagined. Although it becomes obvious if you think about it.

We will be doing some cooking today. Yes, you heard right. I’ve come across a recipe on Bookkake for a breakfast egg that includes pigs’ bladders. Back in the time animal intestines were used as condoms, now we’re going to use a condom to cook us up some egg using a recipe from 1877.

The recipe for “The monster Egg” or “Boiled Egg Gargantua” may be found in The Decadent Cookbook by Medlar Lucian und Durian Gray.

The iCondom by Contex was a perfectly done viral (considering the iPhone craze at the time) for Contex, a condom brand mainly sold in Eastern Europe (Russia). Now, almost one year later there’s a new “edition” out there. So this is basically a short update to the story.

This time there are no commercial interests behind the creation of the graphics. It’s just a work by graphic designer Mauricio Estrella uploaded to his deviantART profile… Actually he states he doesn’t have anything to do with Apple or condoms. “In fact, I don’t use condoms”, he says.

Read on after the jump to get to the functions of this fantasy device.

It’s not unusual: condoms have become a natural part of our everyday lives long ago and that’s a good thing. They are in fact so connected with the human beings that they are to be found in many depictions of our lives like in movies, video games like Fable II, comics, you name it.

I can imagine, however, that the newest one I’ve come across may challenge some people’s tolerance (not mine for sure…) and I’m interested to see what our readership thinks about it.

Let me introduce to you: the Doll House LifeStyles Condom Box by tiny details.

I’m constantly on the lookout for creative, interesting or innovative design solutions for the topic of safe sex or condoms. Last year I discovered two talented designers with appealing designs and now’s the time to show you what I found.

Robert Daniel Nagy and Mads Jakob Poulsen made In Your Pocket for a Danish design competition for young designers under 29. The goal was to create an appealing package for three condoms to be given away for free by the Danish non-profit Sex & Sundhed.

The target group were young people from 15-25 years of age. Each team participating in the competition consisted of two people, and was allowed to hand in no more than two proposals (they had to be done withing 24 hours).

And the award for the best Valentine’s Day window display goes to: Armani! Ok, granted, it’s a bit too early to tell, but the Armani Exchange store at Arden Fair Mall in Sacramento, California has already set some tongues wagging.

It’s a heart-shaped window display made of approximately 400 red condoms smiling at visitors on the first floor of the mall since the beginning of this week.

According to msnbc the condom heart is accompanied by the words “Give love get love,” “Practice safe love” and “Armani Exchange supports national AIDS fund.”

Here at Condomunity we love great designs, ideas and concepts to challenge the existing. And here’s a truly great find. I mean it’s no necessity, but I’d truly consider this as a bedside gadget: The Condom Dispenser Cucoon (unlike other – great ideas like the no panic button).

We have no word so far wether this is going to be available at anytime. The Cucoon is a limited edition of 15 built by Susanne Hanggaard and a friend of hers. It will be exhibited at this year’s Maison & Objet in Paris again and will be sold in 2009 by Danish Crafts.

But let’s have a closer look. This is what the designer and artist Susanne Hanggaard has to say about the Cucoon:
