But that pluralisation really does sound dreadfully sibilant.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the recipient status! I've never been given a condom either. <BR/><BR/>andrea, biologistAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-20759858062716027412008-08-16T23:47:00.000-04:002008-08-16T23:47:00.000-04:00HMMM...I love the words "feels better in the mouth...HMMM...I love the words "feels better in the mouth" Here is another word I love...vagiterian!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-48121886445905424672008-08-16T15:09:00.000-04:002008-08-16T15:09:00.000-04:00Hi, Dave(Caution: Word nerdery ahead).Since "penis...Hi, Dave<BR/><BR/>(Caution: Word nerdery ahead).<BR/><BR/>Since "penis" is a 3rd-declension Latin noun (I asked my Latin dictionary to make sure), the Latin plural would be "penes." I'm not sure how to pronounce "penes,"--PAY-nays? PEE-nez?--but I do think "peni" would be prettier/more fun.<BR/><BR/>(Word nerdery over).<BR/><BR/>This post reminds me: Did you see the <A HREF="http://tinyurl.com/6b4uns" REL="nofollow">poster</A> for the Learning Disability Sex Campaign in the UK?

No one has ever given me a condom...should I be concerned?<BR/><BR/>By the way, love your penis comment. A while ago I blogged on "penis envy" and sturred up a whole converstaion on the plural of penis. I like peni better too, though a lovely man I know was concerned with it, felt it made them sound too small...FABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165249238828950005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-15418668704457230292008-08-16T11:23:00.000-04:002008-08-16T11:23:00.000-04:00Isn't that ironic?

Do you think you got more this time because they were being genuine or they had to hand them out to everyone in order to be 'PC'?<BR/><BR/>The UK charity SCOPE did an 'independent living' survey last year and found that 3-quarters of the people that participated in the survey were unhappy with their intimate lives. <BR/><BR/>It's funny you should write about this subject now, as I wrote a blog about sex and disability last week if you would like to read it and give me your thoughts.<BR/><BR/>Have a nice weekend :)Gainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08495953058626656188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-34493473567410634742008-08-16T09:53:00.000-04:002008-08-16T09:53:00.000-04:00I'm glad you were given a condom.

The world needs more like him. Enjoy the condom. If you don't want to use it for the purpose it was intended (given the longevity of your relationship) it would make a nifty water balloon!wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790763688701278823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-69142268305055754762008-08-16T09:09:00.000-04:002008-08-16T09:09:00.000-04:00I hope you put it to good use =)I hope you put it to good use =)Skylexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204939030623430475noreply@blogger.com
