  • cunilingus condom.

  • analingous armour

  • tipping the velvet behind a shower curtain.

  • bringing a rain-coat for the man in the boat.

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 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?

Lesbian here, meh I'll accept the antibiotics if need be.

Like, they're a good idea, but imo sex is for passion, not wisdom

For eating Switch/Switch 2 game cards.

[–] Chick0nPlayz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Shit I didn't know these existed

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine putting a condom on your tongue just to avoid 3 second of tastebud discomfort. Humans were always weak.

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

We’re made weak by the “froo froo” wealthy bunch, actually.

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

[–] starik@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] plyth@feddit.org 1 points 55 minutes ago

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

Traditional Chinese Medicine

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] sudoMakeUser@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 hours ago

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.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Originally, it served a need. Now, I imagine, it serves a want.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 14 points 8 hours ago

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. :)

Imagine your tongue getting pregnant

[–] starik@lemmy.today 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine your dick getting pregnant, and your child bursting out of it like an alien.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 points 3 hours ago

Hyenas don't have to imagine this.

[–] Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 12 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] coolie4@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

I know they technically exist. But I've never seen one in any store in any country I've been.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

I think they have to teach you how to use it at the doctor and they give it to you. Not positive though.

[–] dion_starfire@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago

You know, you're making good points.

Hallowed be thy name. Thy tonguedom come.

[–] NotEasyBeingGreen@slrpnk.net 14 points 8 hours ago

I think a tongue dom is something different though...

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 22 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

This is for weaklings. If you’re gonna eat ass you have to commit.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 hours ago

Also you clean up first, just saying

If its spreadable its edible

Wait, when did they start putting corn in this shit‽

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.today 4 points 4 hours ago

Savor the flavor

People don't like the taste of blue waffles?

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 6 points 6 hours ago

They found out they were much more popular with people who doesn't want to take very bitter medicines

[–] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Or for eating some merciless peppers of Quetzalacatenango

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 15 points 6 hours ago
