The New Horrible Excuse Not To Wear A Condom

I’m all about the reports and surveys today I guess. Balk at The Awl refers us to an interesting study by the Sexually Transmitted Infections journal (yes such a journal actually exists) which found that men are more likely to take a condom off during sex if it “doesn’t fit right.” According to Balk, researchers say men need to educate themselves about the many different kinds of condoms.

Here’s a better thought: people need to realize that this is simply the successor to the “blue balls” excuse. I’m pretty sure the majority of men who are complaining about the size of their condom being too small would say that about any condom, regardless of size.
