[QUOTE=Small British Shop Owner] You’re the manchurian! (Come on, we’re both old curmudgeonly gits, no need to be arguing all the time - email me at smallshopowner at [gmail.com](http://gmail.com)) [/QUOTE] It’s Mancunian actually but you knew that anyway. Why would I want to email you? ---

[QUOTE=Small British Shop Owner] I don’t use condoms except with prostitutes. [/QUOTE] this from the guy who pitted Cafe Society for being too lowbrow? :rolleyes: ---

What happens to the condom when it breaks and you both don’t notice? Seems like it would migrate up into the dark recesses of the female reproductive apparatus to cause a bit of a problem?! ---

[QUOTE=Jake] What happens to the condom when it breaks and you both don’t notice? Seems like it would migrate up into the dark recesses of the female reproductive apparatus to cause a bit of a problem?! [/QUOTE] Well, it’s not like it’s going to go past the cervix. That opening is really tiny unless a woman is actually in labor or having some cervix-dilating procedure done. It may get lodged in the back alleys of the vagina, but that’s as far as it would go. Someone’s just going to have to reach in and get it out. Take it from someone who knows about this. ---

And that someone ain’t gonna be the owner of the vagina. This is one of those tests to see how much your man really cares about you. Cuz, honey, it ain’t pretty the amount of … ahem… deep sea diving needs to happen in that situation. ---

[QUOTE=Cervaise] Ditto the majority. This actually happened to me two weeks ago. Rather freaky, for me and for her. Thankfully we noticed when we were switching positions, before I had climaxed, but of course that’s no guarantee of anything. [/QUOTE] Q? 😃 ---
