Recession ickiness is global, but a new study revealed that South Koreans are turning to sex and makeup for mood-boosting pick-me-ups in a total downer economy.

One convenience store owner said, "People seek pleasure to fight stress and shake off anxieties stemming from economic difficulties. I think the sale of condoms supports this theory." He's right: A new tube of lipstick or a frisky romp in the sack are definitely examples of budget-friendly pleasure.

Someone at NARS must have gotten an international mood boost when coming up with the Safer Multiple Orgasm Set. It's a kit with two condoms (twice as happy!) and a full-size tube of the cult-hit Multiple in Orgasm. Which is roughly the shade you turn when...you...um.... Anyway, you can use it on eyes, lips, cheeks, and other places.

And while you get an attitude adjustment, amfAR, The American Foundation for AIDS Research, gets a donation: A portion of sale proceeds goes straight to this charity.

Makes you feel better just thinking about all the good times ahead, doesn't it?
