      It doesn’t work as a condom since the other parts of your mouth may make contact. A better choice is cling film.

        I’m still wondering if anyone is using them. I know quite a few people with all kind of sexual orientations as preferences and no one ever used them once. But maybe that’s just how it’s around here?

      It was originally “want.” They became addicted, so now it’s “need.”

      Yeah I just woke up but it took me a minute figure out what was happening. I thought it was saying that people prefer the bitter medicine, so I was confused why they didn’t want to taste it.

      Originally, it served a need. Now, I imagine, it serves a want.

        I mean they can definitely overlap. I want to live so I want and need my medication. That kind of thing.

        I think my amusement is more that “those who want to take very bitter medicines” sounds to me more like they’re doing it on a whim. :)

        I’m not sure that’s normally how that works. That is the condom doesn’t go on the thing that gets pregnant.

              Most public health programs have some available to give away, but commercially they’re rare because few people want to pay over a dollar per condom for them.

              What makes them nice is you can safely put one in hours before sex happens. Add some silicone lube (which they don’t have a problem with), wear a loose skirt, and you have a perfect setup for spontaneous sex in a risky location.
