Wouldn't the lubrication (in a lubricated condom) freeze and then thaw, thereby
weakening the structure of the latex?  How about multiple freezings and thawings,
such as would happen if they were kept in a car over the winter?  Does anyone
know?  Of course, if you didn't thaw it before use, it could lead to some very
interesting situations :-)! <Look folks, a smiley face; that means that I'm
