Don't Care attempted a scorched-earth plan prior to his abrupt departure from APS. If you see "deleted" here and there with his name attached, you'll know why.

This thread remains in good shape as far as I'm concerned, but I had to re-introduce the topic header.

heh to late, you missed valentines day.

We always know when valentines day is coming up because we get more shipments of party stuff- Condoms, lube, batteries, and polaroid film (seriously).

Call me old fashioned, but I went with a dozen very nice roses and a rather decent bottle of wine.

First you go for the wine and roses. THEN you go for the condoms.

I hate condoms. Worst invention ever. I can't believe people use them.

Yup. The very concept seems awfully dumb.

Let's just say that condoms are a useless impediment that lessens the experience in a number of ways.

MicroBalrog · « **Reply #15 on:** February 18, 2009, 12:03:44 AM »

This is... sarcasm, yes?

Headless Thompson Gunner · « **Reply #16 on:** February 18, 2009, 12:11:10 AM »

What, my remark? Not sarcasm at all.

MicroBalrog · « **Reply #17 on:** February 18, 2009, 12:22:14 AM »

How are condoms useless? I know they're not 100% secure, but useless doesn't seem to be the word.

Headless Thompson Gunner · « **Reply #18 on:** February 18, 2009, 12:31:11 AM »

"Useless" is the right word. "Redundant" might also work, tho.

How about elaborating?

MicroBalrog · « **Reply #20 on:** February 18, 2009, 12:37:49 AM »

I think that elaborating would unfortunately be against the rules of this forum.

I suspect HTG wants to argue that condoms are not the best contraceptive out there, and that if you're monogamous you are less at risk of STDs so you would need condoms less. That's... not quite true.

Balog · « **Reply #21 on:** February 18, 2009, 12:46:43 AM »

Actually assuming both partners are monogamous, don't get a lot of third world blood transfusions, and aren't IV drug users there really is no risk of std's.

That's basically what I would say. If you wish to prevent conception, either use better contraceptives or abstain. If you wish to avoid disease, either sleep only with people you know and trust or abstain. That's a simplification perhaps, but the basic concept holds.

In other words, common sense obviates the need for a condom.

MicroBalrog · « **Reply #23 on:** February 18, 2009, 01:34:20 AM »

Eh. I know of a nice lady who can't use the common kind of pill because it has heinous side effects for her - prolongs the menstrual bleeding, etc. etc. Also, condoms make the male less sensitive and therefore enable a longer, err, act. Which is also good.

Conversely, condoms push slightly the boundaries of stuff you can do. Not to OH I CAN DO BE IRRESPONSIBLE AND IT IS SAFE, but they do expand them. So they ARE useful.

Assuming you're already being responsible and sensible, what can condoms enable for you?
