A Better Fit

 

I can't believe it. Not a single comment about that one. I must be older than I thought. It's a reference to the song "Signs" by the Five Man Electrical band.

"And the sign said

"Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why
He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man
I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that
Huh, me workin' for you..."

Well, things do progress, thank goodness. Back in 1970, when the song referred to on that sign was popular, there was no such thing as acknowledging the difference in size. Oh, sure, "size matters," "it takes two hands to handle a Whopper," etc. But no real-world efforts to accommodate the differences.

Now, the idea that all men are not created equal seems to have caught up to reality. And not just in briefs. Hello Cake now offers three different sizes in condoms.


Yes, guys, if you are not in a long-term, monogamous relationship, you should be using them. Whether to prevent pregnancy or not.


While masturbation is the only true safe sex,






condoms are your next best bet.
And, as you can tell, some men could use a better fit.

And, then I saw THIS

In France, our Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789 says in its Article 1: "Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions can only be based on common utility, i.e. the rights of each one cease where the rights of the others start.

Hugs and bisous, my darlings Jean and Pat.

First - I can't but feel cautious about the evocation of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen. Too many people used it - and mainly its first article - in order to sweeten if not excuse too many a flaw they were embarassed to actually discuss and formally recognise. Gosh, even antivaxers claim themselves and their stupid ideas from that first article :)

Second - May I politely remind that being born free and equals in rights does not mean - and never has meant - being actually and fully equals? If genetics - as a science - had been of any common knowledge among the 18th century elite, I sort of doubt they would have considered that first article as smart as they did.
I mean: it seems obvious that people - men and women alike - grow whatever physical and intellectual particularities and abilities, only to the extent of the genetic mixture they were made of by the sole encounter of one spermatozoid - upon hundreds of thousands - with one (more or less old) ovum. The result being fifty/fifty of each.

[Back to the matter at hand, for it seems I lost my way, as usual]: When a man feels proud while purchasing a box of XL sized condoms, what's toreally be proud of? Me and my four brothers seem to have genetically inherited the manly 'fortitude' that our father genetically passed along. OK. Still I sadly remember that one night stand who told me something like "sorry, I'd rather you had a regular dick. » Which sent me to an « I’m on the bench » kind of feeling.
I am not endowed like a pornstar, but that night I came more closely to understanding that us humans are not all born the same way, and all the more not meant to please each other the same way either, and that the same goes with our whatever comes from our mind. (again, the antivaxers or those praying to a god that never answers…)

Oh... Condoms? They come in different flavors, do they not? You can even buy bacon-flavored’s….

Post Scriptum: Sorry Rick, once again I let myself go on your blog.

I meant "Pat".
(but Rick is used to my jibberish too...)

Love me some long haired dudes. Yum.
And condoms in different sizes? Yay! One of my men had a terrible time finding something that would fit him!

XOXO

Growing up in Canada, I heard a lot of Five Man Electrical Band on the radio!😃

I like this found in the NYTimes comment section: "Your supposed freedom doesn’t extend to the point where it harms me and mine."

I remembered the song! Hugs and Bisous

Back in 1992 I had the pleasure of watching "Gay Man's Guide to Safer Sex" VHS which was quite groundbreaking at the time in showing explicit male sexual scenes in an educational program, because it was all about the spread of HIV/AIDS. I had to borrow it from a large video library as it was not readily obtainable elsewhere. In 1997 an update was released on VHS and I eagerly watched that too, finding it more interesting in its format and for the fact that oral sex was now questioned as to its safety.

Fast forward to recent times and HIV seems to have faded from the minds of many.

I have been on a quest to obtain those two videos, partly through nostalgia and wanting to compare to modern day and refresh my memory, however until relatively recently they eluded my grasp until I finally located a rare copy.

It was interesting wandering down memory lane, however the reason I mention all this is that the 1997 update mentioned using the Femidom as a condom for the more well endowed member, particularly in anal sex. Apparently it has some advantages being resistant to oils and quite thin compared to latex. The main disadvantage has always been cost. So, larger "condoms" have been available for some time, albeit in a different form.

I have always been disappointed that they didn't make a very short version of the Femidom for rimming as I think it would have been perfect. I never did take to dental dams as protection, or squares of condom as they were too awkward to use, however the external ring of a Femidom would make an ideal place to hold, even with one hand, whilst the other tends to other, erm, activities.

Whilst it is not a visual gag, I recently came across an amusing quip from the series "Elementary" in which Sherlock Holmes (played by a very lithe Jonny Lee Miller) mentioned a characters phallus that would make a Clydesdale blush.

Size is still important to men, even though it shouldn't be as we have no control over our own endowment, because competitiveness and belonging are still things within society. Until we replace competitiveness with cooperation for mutual benefit, create an environment of unconditional acceptance of diversity, show men the true diversity in the world and not simply the extremes, and teach men how to maximise the use of their personal assets, men will continue to feel ashamed of not measuring up. I think we need to encourage greater inclusivity, not boosting individual egos through greater exclusivity.

I remember hearing a quip about condoms a long time ago, where it was debated changing size nomenclature from Small, Medium and Large to Big, Huge and Oh My God!: it's all about relativity.

I cracked at "dick masks" 😜😂

Doctors advise people who have anal sex to always use condoms, even while in a relationship 🤷‍♂️
