WATCH: Women use their mouths to put condoms on men’s aubergines for safe sex promo

NO really – they were putting condoms on actual aubergines. See for yourself.

Bizarre footage has emerged showing a row of women using their mouths to put condoms on the purple vegetables.

The exercise was set up as part of a sex education event and was all in the name of promoting public awareness of safe sex.

Obviously.

There was only one catch. The aubergines were held in men’s crotches.

RIDICULOUS: Women use their mouths to put condoms on aubergines in men's crotches

Just how vital that piece of the puzzle was remains unclear but it certainly makes for some interesting viewing.

In the clip – first uploaded to Chinese social media site Weibo – women feverishly rip open condom packets to the sounds of elated screams from a growing crowd of onlookers.

It looks as though the task has been set as a race with each of the women trying to be the first to successfully protect the vegetables.

The women are also not allowed to use their hands to help them out, just to add another fun element to the mix.

WINNERS: The winning pair celebrate with the crowd after the bizarre condom challenge

After the clip was uploaded to video sharing site LiveLeak it attracted a lot of attention from interested viewers.

Commenter Grijsje said: "I mistakenly thought aubergine was the same as broccoli so you can imagine it was a hell of a job when I gave it a go."

And 70_s Inside said: "They are promoting public awareness of safe agriculture."

But watercarrier just felt sorry for the veg involved.

"Poor eggplants," he said.

The footage ends with a rapturous reaction from the crowd as the winning couple manage to get their condom on the fastest.

We feel like the latest Celebrity Juice game might just have been created?

Or perhaps it could be the next #condomchallenge – where jokers fill condoms with water and get their mates to drop them onto their heads.
