Why Geek Relationships Are Fun #3,927(b)

[missroserose]

Due to a bit of airheadedness on my part, we have managed to find ourselves in Seattle without any form of birth control. Not usually a big deal for us, but hey, it's our vacation and maybe we should try to be a bit more adventurous. So we find ourselves down at the pharmacy, examining the vast and frankly bewildering array of options available in the condom section.

Unable to find a box of the type that I used to like back in college, I instead pick up a Durex Variety Pleasure Pack, one of the titular varieties being a "Studded Texture For Extreme Pleasure" sort. We're examining the back, which includes diagrams of the differences between the iterations of prophylactic, and the following conversation takes place:

Me: So, shall we go with the Durex Pleasure Pack? See what we like best?

Brian: I'm not sure. Some of these are a little disturbing.

Me: How do you mean?

Brian {pointing to the diagram for the "studded texture" one}: That one looks rather like a Dalek.

{beat}

Both of us together: E-JAC-U-LATE! E-JAC-U-LATE!

It's true -- laughter is the best form of birth control.

ROFLMAO! You guys rule!

Things I'll be remembering if I ever find myself looking at condoms to purchase. I promise you, I'll be shuddering with a comment like "so wrong..., so very wrong..." and snicker promptly afterward.
Also, going to share this moment with some other friends here :P

If you like, I'll keep you updated on whether they're any good. ;)

Deary, I don't particularly care for that flavor of texture as it is. But go ahead, enjoy :P

Can I metaquote this?

[roseneko.livejournal.com]

Erm, sure? It's been ages since I kept up with them. :)

Two thumbs up. *lol*

We just go with the thins. I'm always a little weirded out by Trojan condoms... first off, didn't they -lose-? Secondly, the Greeks came -out- of the Trojan horse, not something I want to imagine in this case.

Durex FTW. Futuristic invasive indestructible things what want to stop human propagation = more win.

DO NOT use Durex ultra thin ribbed. They break. A lot.

I have this image of a frustrated couple that thought a dozen would be plenty until they got through half of them in a single act...

Yes, you qualify as geeks.

You really should visit Good Vibrations while you're in SF, so you can get some hands on testing of different types of vibe and other equipment and supplies. It's the best place I know of for toy shopping.

[roseneko.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind, when we're in San Francisco. ;)

[jamesd.livejournal.com]

I really should reply when I'm awake. :) No tips for Seattle from me. :)

Reminds me of a former GF that had said at one point she hated artificial lubrication. So when it finally came around to getting some happy-fun raincoats I made sure to get the kind without lube.

Only to find out she was talking about extra lube as in out of a bottle.

Yeah... I don't know who can actually use dry condoms... yeowch.

[roseneko.livejournal.com]

*shudders* I'm not sure why anyone would dislike lube - I mean, it's really handy stuff. 'Course, there are asshole dudes who will use it to rush things along before a girl's ready. Maybe she had dated one of them previously?

[decibel45.livejournal.com]

We never got into details about her earlier SO's, so I dunno...

Hee hee hee!

What a reward to me for dropping in-- that had me laughing out loud.

Still not on the intarweb much, but I thought I'd give you the opportunity to get emails from my local installation of WordPress... if you are interested, send an affirmation to my gmail (my name @).

If not, no problem.
