Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

boom! Durex shopping.

I learned over the weekend that comdoms sold in America aren't labeled with the size, but that the name of the condom is going to be a clue. If it's just name, with no embellishments (i.e., Trojan, Ramses -- not Trojan Ultra, Ramses Sensitive), then you can assume it's a size medium.

If the name has embellishments, if the very first word after the brand begins with an "S" (i.e., Ramses Sensitive), then it's a size small. The size large condoms are pretty easy to identify, since they're generally named something like Trojan Ultra, or Ramses Super Mega Monolith, or -- I shit you not -- Kong.

Nifty, eh?

Also, the female condom was originally created to be for gay male anal sex, but the manufacturers knew they could never market it that way.

Why Steph, look at you, you're a treasure trove of condom info. Seriously.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

pandas are just stupid and lazy and have evolved a supremely inefficient digestive system.

Bastards!

Nifty, eh?

My brain hurts.

I can only imagine the chick that stocks up, unknowingly, on Ramses Sensitive just in case she should ever get laid having an embarassing moment when she whips them out for her unprepared suitor.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So what are you supposed to do if you want a "Sensitive" condom but have a big cock?

eta: Wait, is there a Ramses Kong Sensitive?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

In her view, pandas are just stupid and lazy and have evolved a supremely inefficient digestive system.

I can see this as decent reasons to dislike a person, but an animal???

Also, Steph, what have you been reading lately?

Am I just super-skeptical today? Both of those make me want to hit Snopes. But I don't mean to malign the Tep.

Heh. Actually, I learned it from a safer sex seminar taught by a gay man. I also learned that STDs are now called STIs.

I can only imagine the chick that stocks up, unknowingly, on Ramses Sensitive just in case she should ever get laid having an embarassing moment when she whips them out for her unprepared suitor.

Ah, but if it's called "Ultra Sensitive," or "Extra Sensitive," then it's probably just a medium. It's only when the *first* word after the brand starts with an "S" that it's small.

So what are you supposed to do if you want a "Sensitive" condom but have a big cock?

Get one of the aforementioned Ultra Sensitive.

Also, you can fit a small condom over your forearm all the way up to the elbow. And ain't nobody's cock THAT big.

Eh, you're really maligning the gay dude who gave the seminar.

Okay, now *that* cracks me up because I'm sitting here trying to imagine it. "Ooo, if she were just stupid and lazy, that'd be bad enough, but no, she's so damn skinny too! I hate her!"

I guess it strikes me as funny, funny that she hates pandas so much, and her reasons seem funny to me too. I think it really has to do with the two or so years she lived in China and the fact that the Chinese are over the top in their love of all things panda.
