Which reminds me - Dan, could someone over there put together a page (or relieve my ignorance at where such a page exists) that collects all the Youth Pastor Watch postings?
People who don't read here (sadly, they exist) find it hard to believe when it's mentioned how often this happens...and especially that it isn't just for Catholics anymore.
Wouldn't the heat from being kept so close to the body harm the condoms? I thought you weren't supposed to keep them in a back pocket for that reason.
@1:
You should start a Tumblr blog for it.
Um, isn't this a counterproductive invention?
I thought you were not supposed to store condoms in your wallet or pocket, because the body heat causes them to break down over time. No? (Maybe I'm completely wrong). IF that is the case, wouldn't storing a condom in your underwear be even worse?
Handy, yes, but if it causes them to fail at a higher rate, not especially helpful.
Condoms are murder, people. Every sperm is sacred. A box of Trojans is a million Holocausts. And don't go spilling your seed on the ground, either, you heartless bastard.
My friend was talking about making these in 2002. It was more about making it easier to sneak drugs into Widespread Panic shows than tackling an epidemic, but they could have been adapted. Sadly, all he did was smoke pot all day they never came about.
I came in here to say that body heat damages condoms and this is a bad idea in the same way that keeping a rubber in your wallet is a bad idea (unless you're just doing in for the super-cool ring indentation so people will think you're getting laid), but it's been said...
Doesn't anyone use the change pocket in their jeans for this?
Calvin Klein and Joe Boxer already did this in the 90's. I remember it being kinda a "thing" when AIDS education was at its peak.
It's probably not still that common because it isn't that practical for most of us. For young people who don't always have a place to go to have sex however, and who hopefully have the foresight slip a condom in there just before going out for the night (and not wear it around all day, every day), this is probably useful.
And here I thought only mormons had magic underpants. And @1, if you go to the categories section of slog and go to religion, you can easily scroll through to find Dan's YPW columns. I did that last weekend.
