(this is the golden sentence that made me laugh)
"This project aims to advance our understanding of, among other factors, the role of cognitive and affective processes and condom application skills in explaining problems with condom use in young, heterosexual adult men,"



Why Are Condoms Disliked by So Many Men?
National Insitutes of Health Commissions Study of Condom Use

The federal government has spent nearly half a million dollars to fund a study to find out why some men would prefer not to wear condoms during sex.

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, a branch of the National Institutes of Health, has awarded a $423,500 grant to researchers at The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction.

The Bloomington, Ind., based research team will use the funding to study "barriers to correct condom use," according to a release from the institute.

1. That's PHD talk.

[lunatica]

2. I wonder how the PhDs can keep a straight face saying that

[lapfog_1]

4. For $423,500...

Not only can I say it with a straight face... I could make you think this is as serious as Russian suitcase nukes smuggled into India to start a nuclear war with Pakistan.

3. I want a government job!

The FBI got to thoroughly analyze "Deep Throat" on the taxpayer dime. Though I've never seen this film, I am curious. Did people really give blow jobs back then? And now the condom study. Where the fuck do I sign up? (pun intended)

15. Answer: The two words found in Webster's for the acts of

oral sex are fellatio and cunnilingus, both Latin words. Enough said? I love how the young always think they invented sex. I am 68 years old, and I can assure you we certainly knew about oral sex.

My wizened and wise hubbie says cunnilingus is a compound word meaning "smart tongue"; and, no, we never question the genius. He gave a college lecture on this, believe it or not.

We went to see Deep Throat together. We had been married about ten years. Anything else you want to know, children?

24. Good for you!!!

:applause:

Every generation thinks that they know more about sex than the previous one. Well, people have been having sex in every imaginable variation of it since the Garden of Eden. Nothing new under the sun......

:shrug:

[Skink]

5. That's cause they make em to tight.

[Skittles]

7. bragging about your big woody again, Skink?

I WILL KICK YOUR ASS

[TahitiNut]

17. Only if you wear 'em on your head.

:shrug:

[BlooInBloo]

6. Funny headline, but a false one.

[lunatica]

8. OK I'll bite. How is it false? n/t

[Starry Messenger]

9. Not that I object to the information at all...

but what is this doing in GDP? :D

[boppers]

10. What can a guy say?

Painful, protective, sex aids make sex moot.

[lunatica]

12. Maybe the study will get companies to make large and extra large condoms

'Cause I'm pretty sure no one will buy small and medium.

[TahitiNut]

13. When was the last time you looked at a condom display?

The ONLY sizes marked are 'Large.' 'Extra Large,' and 'Magnum.'

Every so often, when I'm a bit bored, I'll stand in front of a condom display and (loudly) ask the pharmacist where the 'Smalls' and 'Mediums' are. Are they sold out??? (The reactions of people around are absolutely priceless.)

:evilgrin:

[lunatica]

16. LOL!

I'll be sure to check out the condom aisle next time.

[CTyankee]

21. You sure have a lot of time on your hands...nt

[havocmom]

27. Do you ever manage to get someone to go shopping with you?

:rofl:

[TahitiNut]

28. Sure. At least once.

After that they tend to wear dark glasses, hats, and turn their collars up, though.

:evilgrin:

I have amazing luck with weather and parking spaces ... weather karma and parking karma. Friends who don't like carrying shopping bags long distances in the rain seem willing to go along with it.
:silly:

[boppers]

14. I see you might know what I'm talking about.

I would suggest titles such as:
Huge: 3cm
Whopper: 4cm
Thick: 4.5 cm
Tiny: 5cm

[Adsos Letter]

11. The raincoat analogy fits quite well here.

$423,500 to find out it just doesn't feel as good with a condom, necessary though they might be.

[Indenturedebtor]

18. Silly researchers... everyone knows that condoms are for suggestive baloon animals

:eyes:

And the glow in the dark ones make for great lightsabers! Fwom, fwom, I am yer daddy, Fwom! :D

[ensho]

19. non wearers like to gamble and or want to create as many kids as

possible.

gamble on a pregnancy; gamble on a disease.

the real question is why do women let them not wear a condom?

undereducated is my guess for most women. or they are afraid of a violent mate. or they want a child so they can stay home and collect child support in one way or the other.

[boppers]

20. Why don't women wear their condom?

Feminine condoms exist, yet I've never been with a woman who wore one.

[CTyankee]

22. They are noisy. It's already been studied with a group of Asian prostitutes. Years ago. nt

[Beacool]

26. Mainly stupidity.

If young, they think that the guy is not going to like them anymore.

Hey women, wise up: Unless you are in a committed relationship and you are sure that he's faithful, demand that he wear a condom. Too bad if it's "not the same" for him. Would you rather risk an STD or pregnancy? No matter how good the sex, it's not worth risking your health or an unwanted pregnancy.

I recently had a conversation with a friend's daughter who got herpes at 17 from a boyfriend who unbeknownst to her was screwing anything with a pulse. She has to take medication all the time, has to tell every potential boyfriend that he may get it too, and to top it all, she accidentally thinks that she touched her eyes and now has it there too. I didn't even know you could have herpes in your eyes. She's a lovely young woman who just passed the bar exam, but herpes will be her cross to bear for the rest of her life.

23. Talk about overthinking the little head with the big head.

:hide:

[MarjorieG]

25. Fumbling then laughing ruins the mood.

[old mark]

29. In the late 1970's there was a government funded study to determine

why prisoners wanted to break out of prison......

Who thinks of this shit?


(I already know who pays for it.....:grr: )
