How does THAT even happen?!

The thread where you can wonder how the hell does <THAT> happen? Whatever THAT is.

Pubic crabs, how exactly does someone walk around with things the size of ticks crawling in their pubes?! You can see them with the naked eye, why wouldn’t you remove them! Unless you are half crazy and living in the woods or something.

I’m not a germ phobe or clean freak, but if I had visible pubic crabs how could I resist removing them one by one with my finger nails if need be.:eek:

Oh another one, condom getting lost in your anus. I laughed, no way would anyone actually worry about or go to the hospital because a soft piece of latex or plastic was in their rectum. Do nothing and it will be passed in a day, then I googled “lost condom in butt”

Apparently it is a common issue! You’ll poop it out!

I’ve never had them, but I’m not sure that just removing the visible ones with your fingernails will do the trick. Won’t more just hatch to take their place?

Who cares? Even if Captain Picard was ordering more crabs beamed to my pubes every day I’d still feel compelled to pull them off, it isn’t about eradication but getting goddamn visible bugs off my skin.

And anyway eventually no more eggs will be laid and you’re free, the nits are kinda visible anyway.

The only person I know of who has admitted to having pubic crabs (he called them “mechanized dandruff”) acquired them in the hospital. He had a bad motorcycle accident and he woke up some time later with various broken bones and… pubic lice.

Of course, once he regained consciousness he certainly had something to say about their removal.

Damn that is creepy.

Picking off the adults probably isn’t ever so effective because:
[ul]
[li]They can go from egg to breeding adult in 9 or 10 days[/li][li]For many people, not all of their own pubic hair is within line of sight[/li][/ul]

It doesn’t matter whether it is effective, why wipe your butt when it is just going to get poopy again?

For 2, mirror…or “hey man can you help me with something?”

Look remove it from the realm of the taboo, it would be the same thing as knowing or seeing ticks on your body. And going eh ticks, just gonna get more.

You don’t find them because they’re visible, you find them because they bite. And if you just pluck them out one by one, you will never catch up to their reproductive cycle. You’ll have them the rest of your life.

What’s the point of wearing a condom in the first place? Ever hear of HIV?

Well yea, assuming the condom contained ejaculate you’re pretty much going to have to consider yourself exposed at that point and get tested. I don’t think extraction will change that(I hadn’t considered you could prevent transmission by fast extraction).

This is a perfect reason to shave your pubic area bald.

The bit I was responding to was your comment “And anyway eventually no more eggs will be laid and you’re free,” - which definitely did seem to be about effectiveness. Not the above.

I just wanted to let you know I have come to agree with you 100% after thinking it over, you will at least probably lessen your chance of exposure by having it removed by lessening the amount of semen that can leak out.

I even realize where my thinking went wrong, I was thinking if the condom is so far in you can’t see it or remove it with a finger you’ll pretty much have to assume you’ve been exposed anyway like a burst condom etc.

Ignorance fought :slight_smile:

Or just go get the medicated shampoo…why are we resorting to literal nit-picking here?

It’s true!

Or make balloon animals.

The Daily Show had a segment on recently discussing the declining population of lice.

Secure condoms in place where they belong with staples.

ETA: Okay, as for the OP’s original topic: Damn, I’m sure I’ve got some “How does <THAT> happen” thoughts, but I can’t think of any now. I’m not really quite awake yet. Perchance I’ll be back with some. So there. I’ve at least tried to write something here that’s on-topic.

I wish I could un-read this.

Some people are very uptight about their own body, I’m not totally surprised they are too shy to remove lice from their own pubic hair and/or shave it.
