Um, would it be improper to say that I’ve actually “used” some?

Y’know, as an ingredient in fish maw soup?

It looks like one of those condoms was used 3 and a half times..

There were a lot of reusable condoms back in the day. There was more to using them than slapping them on. You had to soak them before use. They were pretty much all reusable.

Condom history is strangely interesting.

This brand looks like it would be much better than fish condoms, being more about rabbits as they are! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbrBJiqJ7T0 Hahaha

I want to give them a try but they ship from all the way over in Australia :(

I guess when done, you turn them inside out and shake the F@#$ out of them…

And here all my fantasy reading had led me to believe condoms were usually sheep gut.

not really an anti-unicorn chaser for me. I actually feel very vaguely pleased to think of people in the (relatively) distant past having (relatively) safe sex.

I get both the good feelings of knowing that technology has gotten better, yet also the reassuring non-futureshock feeling that some aspects of life have not changed to the point of unrecognizability in the last 100 years.

Man, I’ve been desperate, but never *that* desperate!

To win an auction, I mean.

They probably stink like fish.

Wonder what fish used for contraception.

I suppose I just wonder how he kept tally of them considering that they all looked the same… I mean… it seems you can distinguish used ones from non-used… but why not use one till it’s no longer usable and then move on? Unless each one was for a separate partner, though somehow I doubt that vigilance on his behalf.

Recyclable, natural, biodegradable – and if it winds up back in the ocean, it belongs there anyways. I like.

An anti-unicorn chaser, huh? Next up: A banana tells us to look at Cory.

How about a touch of irony? Why don’t we see if we can find some DNA on these condoms? If we find some, we can clone it. Then this would be the first time a condom caused a pregnancy!

I’d buy them. I never found fish flavoured condoms convincing.
