H Bomb Magazine (FOR Mature Audience Only)

Spring 2004 - PREVIEW: "I used to volunteer at one of those counseling services on campus that hand out free condoms. You know the ones, with a thick, foil-wrapped, medical-looking, blue-on-white design, likely made by Trojan. And the thing that always amazed me was how many repeat customers we got. How could anyone continue to use such shitty condoms on a regular basis? I mean, I understand safety in a pinch, but to rely on those suckers regularly just seems careless. I was in a long-term relationship at the time so I didn’t think too much of it, figuring it was just some limited freak phenomenon.

Having more recently come back to the dating world, I’m shocked. Far from a freak phenomenon, those shitty condoms are nearly ubiquitous on the nightstands of seemingly everyone I know, men and women alike. This cannot stand. If you’re at the point in your sexual development where you keep condoms on your nightstand (table, side drawer of Harvard-issue desk, whatever), you’re at the point where you should start caring about the quality of your sex."
