Yeah I just woke up but it took me a minute figure out what was happening. I thought it was saying that people prefer the bitter medicine, so I was confused why they didn't want to taste it.
I’m still wondering if anyone is using them. I know quite a few people with all kind of sexual orientations as preferences and no one ever used them once.
But maybe that’s just how it’s around here?
yeah, my best protection against STDs was careful screening of partners. And if i liked them enough and they'd got one, well i better have been ready for it.
now it's monogamy, but like from my understanding most are manageable. Hell, only one out of the grampolycule was HIV positive if i remember right (they've all been gone... shit. it's been too long I'ma go watch the Birdcage), and i'm pretty sure they weren't celibate. just careful.
Most public health programs have some available to give away, but commercially they're rare because few people want to pay over a dollar per condom for them.
What makes them nice is you can safely put one in hours before sex happens. Add some silicone lube (which they don't have a problem with), wear a loose skirt, and you have a perfect setup for spontaneous sex in a risky location.

I like the phrasing of “want” rather than “need.”

I've only ever seen them use in short video media about taking foul-tasting TCM, so the want vs need seems to make sense

That makes far more sense than what came up when I searched TCM. Thank you.

But we don't taste with the tongue, just bitter, salty, etc.

Originally, it served a need. Now, I imagine, it serves a want.
Dojan@pawb.social · 22 pts · 66d
I mean they can definitely overlap. I want to live so I want and need my medication. That kind of thing.
I think my amusement is more that “those who want to take very bitter medicines” sounds to me more like they’re doing it on a whim. :)

If it was really for traditional medicine as I inferred from a neighbouring thread, it was more of a whim

It was originally “want.” They became addicted, so now it’s “need.”

It doesn’t work as a condom since the other parts of your mouth may make contact. A better choice is cling film.

I'm not sure that's normally how that works. That is the condom doesn't go on the thing that gets pregnant.
