Good trade-off
So if I get a heat gun, can I get the PFAS in the condom to bond to the PFAS that's already in my dick from other sources? You know, for added grip.
An inventor in the making.
From what I understand, PFAS are actually a lubricating agent, hence their prevalence in some floss brands.
Only one way to find out.
This is why I prefer to use sheepskin pouch
Sorry, did you say sheepskin couch?
I said pouch, Mr. Jance Dance Vance
I just use straws with the top sealed off, fits perfectly!
Plus you have at least six inches on the end there for the semen reservoir!
The guardian article only summarizes a limited amount of the product test information. See here for more products that were tested: https://www.mamavation.com/health/condoms-lubricants-pfas-forever-chemicals.html#Not_Our_Favorite_Condoms
This link is in the summary.
I guess yay for being celibate? But really this is crap, how can we encourage folks to use easy-access protection when we have headlines like this? What about dental dams? Why is this even an issue? Why won't the manufacturers share their "ingredients?"
Nice try Big Penis, but you’ll have to take the condoms from my cold dead hands (before I flush them down the toilet). /s
How much forever chemicals in the blood of all living things is not alarming?
JFC.
Jizz filled chemicals?
My partner and I use the basic water-based Lola. It's literally the only brand in at least ten different tests that doesn't cause burning for her.
Is it possible that the basic unscented Lola does not have PFAS like the weird one that has a bunch of flavoring and heating agents in it?
That’s why I don’t use condoms.
That and nobody will sleep with me, but mostly the PFAS.
It makes wanking expensive.
Yeah, I’m not going to get my hand pregnant.
A few months later: "oh, oh no"
Vasectomy and a steady relationship, long term all of humanity's issues would be solved if everyone practiced that.
no. i prefer we fuck around and find out
I politely, yet firmly disagree.
Well yeah, because humans would go extinct :)
Time to ban condoms
