I like the phrasing of “want” rather than “need.”

I've only ever seen them use in short video media about taking foul-tasting TCM, so the want vs need seems to make sense

But we don't taste with the tongue, just bitter, salty, etc.

Originally, it served a need. Now, I imagine, it serves a want.

I mean they can definitely overlap. I want to live so I want and need my medication. That kind of thing.

I think my amusement is more that “those who want to take very bitter medicines” sounds to me more like they’re doing it on a whim. :)

If it was really for traditional medicine as I inferred from a neighbouring thread, it was more of a whim

It was originally “want.” They became addicted, so now it’s “need.”

Yeah I just woke up but it took me a minute figure out what was happening. I thought it was saying that people prefer the bitter medicine, so I was confused why they didn't want to taste it.

I’m still wondering if anyone is using them. I know quite a few people with all kind of sexual orientations as preferences and no one ever used them once. But maybe that’s just how it’s around here?

Lesbian here, meh I'll accept the antibiotics if need be.

Like, they're a good idea, but imo sex is for passion, not wisdom

yeah, my best protection against STDs was careful screening of partners. And if i liked them enough and they'd got one, well i better have been ready for it.

now it's monogamy, but like from my understanding most are manageable. Hell, only one out of the grampolycule was HIV positive if i remember right (they've all been gone... shit. it's been too long I'ma go watch the Birdcage), and i'm pretty sure they weren't celibate. just careful.

It doesn’t work as a condom since the other parts of your mouth may make contact. A better choice is cling film.

Wouldn't the juices still go in your mouth? Isn't the juice the part you want to block

I'm not sure that's normally how that works. That is the condom doesn't go on the thing that gets pregnant.

I know they technically exist. But I've never seen one in any store in any country I've been.

Most public health programs have some available to give away, but commercially they're rare because few people want to pay over a dollar per condom for them.

What makes them nice is you can safely put one in hours before sex happens. Add some silicone lube (which they don't have a problem with), wear a loose skirt, and you have a perfect setup for spontaneous sex in a risky location.

I think they have to teach you how to use it at the doctor and they give it to you. Not positive though.

Imagine your dick getting pregnant, and your child bursting out of it like an alien.

They couldn't wear masks in a pandemic. They'd sooner swallow it to build microplastic immunity than use it properly.
