Because the "risk" that comes with sex without condoms fully shows a man's commitment! He wants to have babies! It's true love! Only then, without that artificial man-made barrier can a man and a woman truly become one! <br /><br />Or something. I don't know, but it's really annoying.Jeannette Nghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369533969456798125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-29158485851182567262011-01-15T07:15:23.167-05:002011-01-15T07:15:23.167-05:00lxr:

And you don't (can't) know that I'm not in the same country you're in. Over here, condoms that fit me are "premium". But I still buy them for special occasions, being the maybe dozen times a year I shag someone outside our triad, as opposed to the two dozen times a month I shag either my wife our our girlfriend.<br /><br />Holly : yup, with you.

That's super smart thinking of them.<br /><br />Reminds me of a sex-games book I picked up once that had an entire section on condoms and why they were so wonderful (flavored condoms, putting them on with your mouth, playing with them with your hands...) it was delightful. I never thought them as anything more than necessary and routine, like brushing teeth, but that book changed my mind about how boring/nasty they had to be.<br /><br />Still doesn't excuse the time I mixed up 'flavored' and 'extended pleasure' and ended up not being able to feel my lips!ZombieCheezenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-66790768005184949882010-12-09T08:27:03.777-05:002010-12-09T08:27:03.777-05:00Mousie - I confess I don't use condoms for blo...Mousie - I confess I don't use condoms for blowjobs. I probably should, but the risk of getting the truly nasty diseases orally is lower (and of course I can't get mouth-pregnant), and the taste and texture of a mouthful of condom are just so terrible.Cliff Pervocracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080142422250604406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-21801877769759788462010-12-09T08:21:54.858-05:002010-12-09T08:21:54.858-05:00Holly, I'm glad you brought this up.
