h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This article is under moderation and is hidden as it contains details about the art of making sex safer! Where's the harm in that?


Z.

Thanx to Peta I've rewritten to make it more acceptable!

Z.

It was less subtle before?!

Still... made me even if the advice was... um... not particularly useful.

It's not supposed to make you laugh, is it?

Quite honestly, I found it a bit hard to understand. OK I'm out of practice after 25 years of monogamy and 5 years since a hysterectomy, but I'm not senile. How about a reminder that sharp/long nails aren't a good idea? But if you have them, how do you use the flats of your fingers? Not possible in that small space.

Wait a minute. I've run over it again in my head and do understand it. If I remember rightly, those things taste revolting, and smell awful too, so this doesn't sound much fun from the woman's point of view, all in all.

And why the left hand/right hand distinction? That's not explained either.

Hi TC!

I've updated a little bearing in mind your comments and others in peer review.

Thanx for your input!


Z.

Oh dear... it's gone again.

No TC, I don't suppose it was meant to make me but it did, not least for the points you yourself raised. I also feel the title and the subject content do not tally. Something along the lines of 'A method of putting condoms on' might be more appropriate.

Yes, you've got a point there. It doesn't exactly give you some new ideas as to what to do once it's on, does it! Is there anything you can do with one on that you can't do otherwise, or vice versa? From my point of view it's more enjoyable because you don't have to wash the sheets so often. Hark at Granny, here!

There's a point I hadn't considered, but very good.

Also, I think the 'safer' part of the title is a misnomer too. Apart from what sounds like an increased chance of breaking the condom, I can't see any reason why this suggestion is safer than other ways of putting a condom on.

I'm inclined to think that the taste would be far from enjoyable too, unless the rewrite has included some specific advice as to the type of condoms to be used (available from a vending machine at a pub near you!) However, this would actually make the condom 'less safe', as those ones don't have spermicide on them!

Hi

The Editorial team are working with Zarniroop on this Entry to make sure that it doens't fail because of minor wording problems or similar.

It's also important to ensure that an entry about safe sex doesn't suggest practices that are actually unsafe or not recommended. Whilst we can't check every piece of information in the Guide we do attempt to not give *bad* advice, particularly when it would be irresponsible to do so.

So this Entry may disappear briefly from time to time, just to be checked. But Zarniwoop will be contacted when, and if, editorial changes need to be made, just like was the first time the Entry was hidden.

thanx to the ed team on this clarification, any advice on wording from the team is most gratefully recieved. Tho I haven't heard anything since peta's comments earlier in this thread.

PS. Check my name spelling three eyes!

Seriously Z... you would not want to put an ordinary condom in your mouth. If you don't believe me, just try it.

Hope my comments didn't offend you before... I have a highly tuned sense of ness, and just couldn't help myself.

I have tried it pegasus, And YUK!

Yhough the flavoured ones aren't too bad!


Z.

Indeed. Perhaps this fact should be incorporated more into the article then (I did see the addition of the flavoured ones in the rewrite yesterday... will go read again now). I don't think /anyone/ could find the normal ones pleasant.

I have some rather bad news... condoms are not vegetarian! I was reading an article in a magazine today (at £3, the mag was too expensive to buy for one article, so the exact details are not clear now), and it was discussing the way the latex used in condoms is manufactured. However, it did list one manufacturer whose condoms are veggie/vegan (especially important, in the context of this article!), which is (be quick now!):

missed it!

er.. justed joined a club at a certain isp, *hint* possibly as big as the bbc!


Z

You're not supposed to swallow the condom as well, are you?

I would think not. But as a vegetarian, you have to... um... be careful what you put in your mouth!

Also, for many vegetarians and vegans, what they wear is also very important.

I see. So (pardon my French and over to you moderators) bare-fleshed fellatio is out for the vegetarian female.
