00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: influence my my feelings about this. No, but you're still

19
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,200

00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: They're they're pretty serious people. Yeah, I'm gonna go to

Speaker 1: we don't we don't work. You never know. You might

28
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: get out of it. Yeah, we'll give it a shot. Yeah.

29
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: So aside from that, I had my condom on, so

30
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: I was safe driving. That's good. Yeah. You always wear one, right,

31
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: you can't be too careful. How often do you change it? Gross? May?

32
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: That is so gross? All right? Uh, let's talk about

33
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: Measure B. Have you heard a Measure B H. It

34
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: is a referendum that Los Angeles County floated in this

35
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: last election that passed of the vote. Um. It said,

36
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: if you're in the porn industry and you're filming, you

37
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: have to wear a condom. Good. Well, it depends on

38
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: who you are. If you are a citizen, yeah, you

39
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: probably think it's good, especially if you voted in favor

40
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: of it. If you're in the porn industry, though, you're like,

41
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: people don't want to see that, And um, they're actually

42
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: talking about moving from Los Angeles, which is a big deal. People,

43
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to see a condom in their porn movies.

44
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: I guess I don't want to see any of that stuff.

45
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to see what's attached to the condom either. Okay,

46
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: so you wouldn't care, Uh no, yeah, I guess so

47
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to see any that stuff. Apparently there's

48
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: a longstanding thing in the porn industry that's like, you

49
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: just don't show condoms and just it reflects the unnatural

50
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: nous maybe of of what you're seeing, Um, what you're like, well,

51
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: wait a minute, that's probably not the pizza guy after all,

52
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 1: you know. So, um, it blows the illusion that that's

53
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: real stuff. Yeah, so they're talking about, um about moving

54
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: from Los Angeles, which is huge Los Angeles because apparently

55
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: in just Los Angeles County porn it's a billion dollar industry.

56
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, dude, in the valley, just in one county.

57
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that. So there's a big kerfuffle going

58
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: on right now over condom usage in the porn industry.

59
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: Did ever tell you about the time I scouted the

60
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: porn stage for a video shoot. No. Was this did

61
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: key for Sutherlands Driver take you there? No, But I

62
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: was working as a p A and we couldn't afford

63
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: like a real stage, so they sent me out to

64
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: the valley of this porn stage to go videotape it

65
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: and see what it looked like. And uh, it's like

66
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: a boardroom with a bed in the corner, and a

67
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: candy shop with a bed, and a gymnasium locker room

68
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: with a bed. It was really gross and I didn't

69
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: want to touch anything. And uh, as I was leaving,

70
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of big muscly men came in to get

71
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: their shoot on. Is that right? Yeah? It was a

72
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: gay porn I had that afternoon. It was Oh, so

73
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: it's just like whatever it like, it's a it's a

74
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: sound stage. Yeah, they take all comers, you know. And

75
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: so these two dudes walked in and I walked out,

76
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: and I don't think we ended up using the stage,

77
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: but it was funny. In the conference room set there

78
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: was a framed like Oland Mills or I was a

79
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: painting of Burt Reynolds and Lonnie Anderson like at the

80
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: head of the conference room. No way, yep, sort of God. Well,

81
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: that's one thing about porn and stream moguls. They seemed

82
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: to always have like a great sense of humor. I

83
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: think this is before Boogie Nights, even because I didn't

84
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: make that connection. It was just Burt Reynolds that was

85
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: definitely before Boogie Nights. But I mean, think about Larry Flint,

86
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: He's he has a great sense of humor. Um, Hugh Hefner.

87
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: Maybe I think the less hardcore you get, the less away,

88
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: the further away from hardcore you get, the less the

89
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: less of a sense of humor the publisher has. I

90
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: bet there's some mathematical formula in there. Serious. Maybe we'll

91
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: see it one day. Alrighty, so condoms is what we're

92
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: talking about. Um, we should say, if you're young, you

93
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: might want to ask your parents if you should listen

94
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 1: to this. Oh man, you know that is a good

95
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: c o A like. I think it's up to parents

96
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: how they educate their children with this stuff. So we

97
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: have you have been forewarned. Go put your little pot

98
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: uh player down glass, Mom and dad? Should I be

99
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: listening to this. We're gonna be very clinical here, but

100
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: it's about sex and reproduction, so you can't be too careful.

101
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: I wonder how many kids just like pull the cheeks

102
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: over what do you think? I don't know, vast majority. Okay,

103
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: so um, let's try this again. We're talking condom um

104
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: and apparently they what we think of condom usage normal, widespread.

105
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: It's talked about, there's billboards, whatever. Is actually a fairly

106
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: recent phenomenon. The billboards and things. Yeah, and just the

107
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: idea of like using condoms like that, that's pretty recent

108
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: um from the eighties. And actually it was HIV that

109
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: kind of um spurred this condom age that we live

110
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: in now. But there have been like another golden age

111
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: of condoms shortly after the Great War, right, that's right. Uh.

112
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: Venarial diseases were pretty easy to get if you were

113
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: a sailor on leave in Europe, and so they encouraged

114
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: troops to use use condoms and distributed them in the

115
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: in the ranks, among the ranks, and when they came

116
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: back home they kept using. My guess they hit a

117
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: big boom here in the in the nineteen what I

118
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: guess forties. Post war era died down in the sixties

119
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: because the pill and then picked back up again in

120
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: the eighties because of HI be Yeah, because we we

121
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: figured out things too clever, things like penicillin and all

122
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: that stuff. Um that most of the STDs that condoms

123
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: were preventing at the time, you could just treat with antibiotics,

124
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: so people weren't too concerned with that kind of thing.

125
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: And then the pill came along and I was like,

126
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,559
Speaker 1: we have no need for condoms whatsoever. But then AIDS

127
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: hit and then condom usade started to go through the roof,

128
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: which is good. Yeah, um, but apparently condoms are an

129
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: extremely old idea. At the very least, putting something on

130
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: the over your penis, whether for recreational purposes or whatever,

131
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: is at least fifteen thousand years old, right, Yeah. I

132
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: think Tray Tracy of pop Stuff wrote this article. We

133
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: should point out she's responsible for the most comprehensive podcasts

134
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: we've done. Yeah. I never even think twice when I

135
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: look in and see her name in the biline, like, oh,

136
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: well we should totally do this. Um. Yeah. She points

137
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: out that fifteen thousand years ago we have found cave

138
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: paintings that show images of a sheath penis. Yes, so

139
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: it's unclear whether or not these garments and decorations and

140
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: sheaths on the penises of Egypt and Greece and India

141
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: and Japan were for uh contraception as a barrier method

142
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: or adornment. I guarantee they weren't probably thinking of the

143
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: woman's comfort, no, especially with all the Yeah, the Japanese

144
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: version of the penis sheath or condom was made of

145
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: horn or tortoiseshell. They didn't care about the lady's pleasure.

146
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: That's just mind bogglingly painful sounding, I know, no kidding. Um,

147
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: So we know people started using condoms as a means

148
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: to prevent pregnancy by the Roman era, I think, of course, yeah,

149
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: anytime it's sexy time stuff. They were leading the way totally.

150
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, anybody seemed Calligula can tell you that. Um.

151
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: But then by the time Shakespeare rolls round, condoms are

152
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: pretty common. Yeah, if you count you know, wrapping linen

153
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: around the penis and tying it in a little bow

154
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: with a ribbon at the bottom. That's a condom back then,

155
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: or stuffing something into the urethra and using a draw

156
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: string um ribbon to jump it on. It's another way

157
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: that they did things. I should post um photos of

158
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: your face, patures of your face that I'm taking like

159
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: throughout this episode. Um and well, by the time Shakespeare's age, Uh,

160
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: people are using condoms pretty frequently, and one of the

161
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: things they're using it, probably the main thing they're using

162
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: it for, is to prevent syphilis, because just like in

163
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: World War Two, sailors to the New World came and

164
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: contracted this new disease that was found only in North

165
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: America at the time, um, and or I should say

166
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: the Western hemisphere. Uh, and uh, they brought it back

167
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: and they figured out after a little while, like, well,

168
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I think it has to do with sex.

169
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: So they started using condoms for disease prevention through that.

170
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: So this is a pretty big point here, right, like

171
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: by the the Age of Exploration. Yeah, people understand that

172
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: you can cover the penis to prevent pregnancy and to

173
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: prevent disease. Yeah, that's a huge advancement in society. I guess,

174
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: oh totally. They were. They were on it. They still

175
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: like rolled in their own feces and like you ever

176
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: washed their hands or took a bath, but they knew

177
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: how to prevent syphilis with a little something in the

178
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: urethro with a draw stream attached to that's right by

179
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: the mid seventeen hundreds, Tracy points out they were starting

180
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: to use um condoms made from animal membranes, animal guts basically,

181
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: which if you they still have these today, if you

182
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: use something called cheap skin. It is not cheap skin,

183
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: but it is you know, cheap guts and testine lining. Yeah,

184
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: and you could still buy those. I think they were

185
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: about what like one percent of the total sales these days.

186
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: And they recommend those only if you are like a

187
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: monogamous bowl that's disease free and you're just using it

188
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: to like not get pregnant, right because it's very thin. Yeah,

189
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's it's porous, I believe enough for

190
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: pathogens to pass through. Like, you don't want to use

191
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: that if to prevent getting HIV? No, not smart? No, Um,

192
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: well you want to use is a rubber condom? That's right.

193
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: Thank you Charles Goodyear, Yeah, who gave us not only

194
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: rubber condoms, but um tires, uh, rubber hoses, rubber belts,

195
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: pretty much anything that they made of rubber. You can

196
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: thank Charles Goodyear for because of his process of vulcanization,

197
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: which is he added um sulfur and lead oxide to

198
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: rubber from the Heavia braziliensis tree, yeah, which they had

199
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: been tapping that tree for a while to get this.

200
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: You know, latex is liquid rubber, but um, yeah, vulcanization

201
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: is where it became a thing that you could mask,

202
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, produce and it was safe and it was

203
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: uh stronger and uh more elastic, so you know, less

204
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: likely to break. But it was also thicker and rougher.

205
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: And you had to go to your doctor to be

206
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: fitted for one of these condoms. The good the good

207
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: part is you could wash and reuse it. It was

208
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: basically like your your your condom. You probably have your

209
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: name on it. I imagine if you got fitted though,

210
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: in the doctor's office, that would have to be with

211
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: an erection, right, yeah, you remember the little reflex hammer? Yeah,

212
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: I do. What does that have to do this? That's

213
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: how they did it, all right, So I guess back

214
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: in the day, you would go to your doctor and

215
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: get an direction and he would fit you with a

216
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: condom right made from vulcanized rubber. Probably a bit of

217
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: a uh investment at this time as a man, so

218
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: I doubt if a lot of people were wearing them still.

219
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: So again, imagine this is what I imagine it basically

220
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: probably looked a lot like um, a the nipple of

221
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: a baby bottle. Yeah, sure, you know. I'll bet you

222
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: there's somebody who collects old time e condoms, some rich

223
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: dude who has like an old time e condom collection. Yeah,

224
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: of course, Um, there's someone who collects everything old. Uh.

225
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: So by apparently people were using this. This is eighteen

226
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: thirty nine when Charles could with volcanization. So we're talking

227
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: like the mid to late nineteenth century. People are using

228
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: these rubber condoms from usable robber condoms. And then everybody

229
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: padded on the back a guy named Frederick Killian, Killian's

230
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: Red Beer inventor. Maybe no, it's possible. Um. He's more

231
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: famously known, however, for um creating a process of making

232
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: condoms directly from latex, which again is the sap of

233
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: the rubber tree found in Brazil, West Africa now Southeast Asia.

234
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: Now um, and he would take these glass molds that

235
00:13:54,559 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: where you could argue fallack in nature, you know, and

236
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: that he would dip it directly into latex. I don't

237
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: think he did it with his hand like that. I'm

238
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: just just like maybe initially he did. So he would

239
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: dip these these molds or um forms, right, what they're

240
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: called formers? Yeah, just into latex and uh he would

241
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: then vulcanize that, and what you had was a thinner,

242
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: stronger um better I guess condom. Yeah, thinner and stronger,

243
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: which is like, that's what you want out of a

244
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: condom because you want to have the sensation intact, but

245
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: you want to be safe and also had a longer

246
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: shelf life, and all of a sudden, Latex was the

247
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: way to go. Yeah. Now it's all condoms worldwide are latex. Yes,

248
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: and that's a lot of condoms as we'll see. Yeah,

249
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: some numbers. Should we should we talk about nicknames or not?

250
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: This seems all silly to me. I thought it was

251
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: silly too. Well, let's skip it then, Okay, maybe we

252
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: should just drop them indicasion lye. Okay, you know, so

253
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: people know because it's in here, so it's legit, right,

254
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: Instead of condoms, will say jimmy hat. Okay, Frederick Killian

255
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: came up with the latext Jimmy hat. That's right. Uh.

256
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: I guess if you don't know what a condom is

257
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: at all, we should go ahead and say it is

258
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: h a tube, it's a bag like tube that the

259
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: male penis fits in, open on one end obviously and

260
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: closed on the other. There's a little reservoir tip to

261
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: collect the semen um, supposedly, and um, it's got a

262
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: little ring around the open end, a thin rim that

263
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: you uh that you roll down upon the penis, and

264
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: that is a condom and it it basically it blocks

265
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: fluids from touching each other, which is how you get

266
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: pregnant and how you get disease. Keeps all those fluids

267
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: separate right the the form of this, the basic concept

268
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: of the condom hasn't changed much over the eons, but

269
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: just these little advances and technology like making them latex.

270
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: Late tex is not porous, yes, Um, the only way

271
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: something's going to get through is if there's some sort

272
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: of damage to it or something like that. Um, the

273
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: condoms the same what you just described as generally been

274
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: in use for hundreds or thousands of years. Right, Yeah,

275
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: it's a barrier method. Um, these days there are I

276
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: don't think we should talk about all those standards because

277
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: my eyes started to water a little bit when I

278
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: was reading all those with the length of within the thickness. No, no,

279
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: we should talk about that. But later on all those

280
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: standards when it was just like really yeah, international codes.

281
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: There are international codes governing how they're made. Well, which

282
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: is good. I'm not knocking that, sure, it's just not exciting. Um.

283
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, these days the length they are at least

284
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: six point three inches hundred and sixty millimeter. Uh well

285
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: you did the conversion. Well I think you kind of

286
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: have to say an inchest, don't you? But have you

287
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: noticed that how stuff works? Articles have gone my trick. Yeah,

288
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: now it's metric. The meat one, the lab ground meat one,

289
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: both in in metric. All right, Well, I don't know

290
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: what to say about that. What about the width? What

291
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: is the width of econom when lead flat fifty two

292
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: millimeters which I did not convert to inches, the thickness

293
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: is point zero seven millimeters. That's that's very thin, which,

294
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: like we said, that's what you want out of a condom.

295
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: You want something strong, but you don't want to ruin

296
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: the sexual experience by wearing a rubber glove. You know

297
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, ubber glove to and keep the rubber

298
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: gloves on your hands. That's right. They powder these things

299
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: with things like silica and corn starch and magnesium carbonate

300
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: to keep the latex from sticking to itself in packaging,

301
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: or they can come loubed up with either regular lube

302
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: or made from silicone, or spermicidal lube, which this is

303
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: good to note now that I'm married, but I was

304
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: shown it on this back then. Apparently the spermocidal lubricants

305
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: can make things worse, specifically non oxidal nine. Yeah. It

306
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: says that they found that when used with a condom,

307
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: it doesn't really do much to kill sperm, and even worse,

308
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: it can cause vaginal irritation, which can lead to easier

309
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: disease transmission. Yeah, so that's apparently not a good thing

310
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: to use non oxid A nine on your condoms. Very

311
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: good to know. And that's not knocking in nine because

312
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: I think that's what's also you use outside of a condom,

313
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: right as as spermocidal right, so it's more effective there.

314
00:18:36,160 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: I guess, how about manufacturing on them? Chuck about it all.

315
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: It all starts um either in the forests of Brazil,

316
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: Southeast Asia, or West Africa, which is where you'll find

317
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: the rubber tree, which is still to this date where

318
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: latex comes from, unless it's synthetic latex of course, but

319
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: Let's say you're you're going the natural route, and um,

320
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: you go to Brazil and get you some SAP, which

321
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: again sap from uh latex or rubber tree is latex. Okay,

322
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: so you get that, you take it back to your factory, right,

323
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: that's right. Maybe in Brazil, maybe in Thailand, who knows?

324
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: Is that what they make these? Sure? Okay, I think

325
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: they make them pretty close to the rubber plantations. All

326
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: the pictures in this article are in like Thailand or

327
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: Brazil or whatever, and that's where you're gonna find rubber trees. Okay. Um, well,

328
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't only contain latex. You're gonna probably have some

329
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: other ingredients in your bucket there of sap, well, yeah,

330
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: you added along the way. Yeah, antifungal and antibacterial compounds.

331
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: You want to keep the things clean. Zinc oxide, which

332
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: is accelerates the vulcanization process. UH, stabilizers like potassium laurate,

333
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: UM sulfur maybe which is another vulcanizing agent, ammonia anti coagulant.

334
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Yeah, it keeps things from coagulating really,

335
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: and UH other pigments and preservatives too, you know, because

336
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: you wanted to have that lovely fleshy look in strawberry flavoring. Well,

337
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: we'll get to that too. Um. So these add to

338
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: the shelf life. Um. They make it harder to break

339
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: down because rubbers biodegradable naturally, and you don't want it

340
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: to break down. That's what happened the old days, when

341
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: the easiest lubes, the natural rubber, would just break down.

342
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: Your condom wasn't worth much for long, right, um, and

343
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: Tracy points that this is a good reason why you

344
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: never want to throw a condom used or otherwise in

345
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: a toilet. That's not how you throw a condom away,

346
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: because it doesn't break down. It's just gonna gum things up.

347
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna catch all the hair and toilet paper and

348
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: all that stuff and grow bigger and bigger and just

349
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: basically become this big giant condom damn in your sewer pipe.

350
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: That's right. So what do you do? Uh? You um,

351
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: wrap it in tissue paper, She suggests, wrap that tissue

352
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: paper in foil, put the foil in a five millimeter

353
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: thick black garbage bag, and bury it in your yard.

354
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: That's how you properly dispose of a used contom. That's

355
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: not true, but she does recommend the tissue and the

356
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: waste basket. Yeah, just not the toilet, or if you're

357
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: in New York City, just on the street or sidewalk,

358
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: just fine, in the back of your cab. Have you

359
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: ever noticed all the condoms on this There's a lot

360
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: of them out there. It's just it's a thing. It's

361
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: definitely a thing. If you live in New York you

362
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: know about it, or you can bet the tiles or something.

363
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: I just don't get it, Like, are these people having

364
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: sex in the street they throw them out of the apartment.

365
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that's what they're doing. That's gross, I know.

366
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: Could you imagine walking down the sidewalk after a nice dinner? Okay, alright,

367
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: So you've got the liquid latex goes in the vats,

368
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: and then you've got the formers, which have been around

369
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: for a while, and they are glass or ceramic molds

370
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: of a penis, and they're on a conveyor belt. Dip

371
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: it into the bat, get it, turn it and circle

372
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: to get a nice even coating and dry it out,

373
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: and then maybe a second or third dip to make

374
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: sure it's thick enough right, and then it's into the

375
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: tunnel oven for vulcanization. It has all of those, um,

376
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: those the zinc oxide and the sulfur in it to

377
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: help it vulcanize, so when it's exposed to heat, it

378
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: becomes stronger, that's right, right. Um. And then after that

379
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: I found this a little unsettling, Yeah, because I just

380
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: always thought of condoms is like untouched. It's like a

381
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,719
Speaker 1: brand new newspaper, like you could deliver a baby with it,

382
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,239
Speaker 1: you know. Um. But apparently after vulcanizing, the condoms are

383
00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: taken off of the formers, right, um, and they are washed. Yeah,

384
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: you're so the condom you're you're you're using has been

385
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: washed before. I just to find the odd I guess

386
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: probably mechanically washed, right Yeah. It says a washing machine, um,

387
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: and invest to remove odor, pathogens and allergen. So it's

388
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: good that they're doing this, But I agree with you.

389
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: I kind of thought it was just like, you know,

390
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: it was made and packaged immediately, and then it goes

391
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: on your body, right exactly, Not quite so you you

392
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: wash it. And then there's quality testing, which is a

393
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: lot of pretty cool stuff. There's some there's some cool

394
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: quality tests. If you ask me, well, let's get into it.

395
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: Then well, there's a standard called zipping, popping, rolling, and

396
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: other condom testing. Yeah, what you're testing for is you

397
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: want to prevent three things that make a condom uh ineffective.

398
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: Breaking the condom not good, slipping off definitely not good,

399
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: and leaking. None of these are good because they are

400
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: uh you know, they're not preventing the one thing or

401
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: two things that you're trying to do, which is either

402
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: pregnancy or some sort of socially transmitted infection. Not You

403
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: notice that she's not STD anymore. It's s T I right,

404
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. When did that happen? Maybe she

405
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: just made the change herself, you think, No, I think

406
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: I think it's I don't know because it maybe disease

407
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: doesn't quite scientifically capture all. I'm sure that's it. So yeah,

408
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't know when that happened, but I'll bet it

409
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: was fairly recent. Um. So one of the two tests

410
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: that they're really looking at is you don't want it

411
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: to break and you don't want it to leak. Right, Yeah,

412
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: So they test the condoms tensile strength. Basically, they just

413
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: get a bunch of third graders in there and blow

414
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: the condoms up and see how much volume it holds

415
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: until it breaks. Right. Yeah, they're not third graders, but

416
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: that's pretty much the long and short of it. They

417
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: inflate them, they stretch them, um, they fill them with

418
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: water and hang them up. Yeah, I guess these are

419
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: they're testing um, either whole bad ches or selected condoms

420
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: from the batch. And yeah, they hold fill the water

421
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: and look at it. That's the that's the utter test.

422
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: Is that what it's called. Okay, I just made it up,

423
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: but I think it's good. I bet you. That's what

424
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: they call it on the line, and they're literally look

425
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: at it. Or else, if they want to be slightly

426
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: more scientific, they'll roll it along like water absorbent paper

427
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: and see if there's any water um and there shouldn't be.

428
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: Remember again, late text condoms don't have any kind of

429
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: pores um. And then there's another leaked test, which is

430
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: a lot more scientific or at least it's probably fun

431
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: or to do. I wonder how many factories use this

432
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: method if it's such supermodern or or what and it's

433
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: sartisfactories soon this there's also like third party companies that

434
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: like make their money by testing condoms for factories or

435
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,239
Speaker 1: maybe as watched all groups. That's true. So how does

436
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: the electricity work? So there's a couple of different ones.

437
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: There's one where they take condoms and they they they

438
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: put them a top metal rods that have been dipped

439
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: in conductive solution, and then they run a current through

440
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: these metal rods and the the condoms being rubber, shouldn't

441
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: be conductive. But if there's holes or tears or anything,

442
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: and I'm like, the current will run through the condom

443
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: and then they have a computer watch to see, you know,

444
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: if any had a current run through. Then the other

445
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: one is where they turn the voltage up dry. Yeah,

446
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: this is a dry test um and they basically like

447
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: run a current again through a bunch of condoms and

448
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: if there's any holes or whatever, those condoms will like

449
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: burn or melt. It stinks, yeah, burn, Rubber doesn't smell good. Um.

450
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: So those are the main ways that they will test

451
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: condoms to make sure that you're all good to go

452
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: when it's go time. You know what I'm saying. Uh. Slippage, however,

453
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: something they cannot test for because slippage, my friend, is

454
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: up to you. How you properly or improperly used the

455
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 1: condom slippages user error. Yeah, and I'm ashamed to say that.

456
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: And we're about to go over the tin steps and

457
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: how to properly use a condom. I didn't know about

458
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: one of them, the circumcised step. Not well, I didn't

459
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: know about that. Well, what is it? Well, we'll get

460
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: to it. Um. So, Tracy says, a storage is where

461
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: it starts. You got up to store it properly. So, uh,

462
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: heat and light is not good. Wallets, pockets and glove compartments.

463
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: In other words, everywhere teenage boys forced to store their

464
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: condoms is not where you should store condom. You know,

465
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 1: it's all bad. You want to keep it in a

466
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: dry um just sort of room temperature like atmosphere, and

467
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: not at the roller rink. Look at number two. You

468
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: look at the package, make sure it's all you know, intact,

469
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: it's not opened, and it has the expiration date. You

470
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: know you're within that range. Yeah, and when you do

471
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: open it, you want to open it carefully. You want

472
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: to tear along the one side. Sometimes it's a notch.

473
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: Tracy points out that you don't want to open it

474
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: with your teeth or pointy fingernails. Yeah, you don't wanna

475
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: open your teeth for a couple of reasons, but one

476
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: of them is you don't want to break it right, Um,

477
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: you want to make sure the condom is right side up.

478
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: This is the one I didn't know. I didn't know

479
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: there was the right side sure, I didn't know that.

480
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: Oh well, Um, I saw almost forty two years old,

481
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: and I had no idea that there was an up

482
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: and a down. I know you're talking about, but there

483
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: is a way to tell, um what's up and what's down,

484
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: and the tip the reservoir should be pointing up unimpeded.

485
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: I had no idea that's the that's the top, right.

486
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm just learning this. So you take that reservoir right

487
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: and you um, squeeze the air out of it, hold

488
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: it shut, class bit shot with your fingers, and put

489
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: it over the tip of the penis. We're doing this.

490
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: You realize this. We've suddenly become a sex side podcast.

491
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah you you miss though. If you are uncircumcised, you

492
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: want to gently pull your foreskin back to really of

493
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: the glands, right, okay, which is the tip of the penis.

494
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: Right okay, So you put the tip of the put

495
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: the condom over the tip of the penis. With the

496
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: reservoir squeezed shut and then you start to unroll it.

497
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: Take a chuck. That's number six. Um. She also pointed

498
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: out if you don't have it right side up, it

499
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: won't unroll correctly. That's why there is a top side

500
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: and the downside, which now explains a lot um unroll

501
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: the condom down. The length of the penis all the

502
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: way to the base. You gotta take it to the base.

503
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: You want it. You want full protection here. Um. Otherwise

504
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: because if you look, if you use a condom perfectly,

505
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: then we'll find out your chances of disease and pregnancy

506
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: are virtually nil. Yeah. Problems arises when you you know

507
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: you may be not roll it all the way down

508
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: or will accidentally get a testicle caught in there. Um.

509
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: If you need lube, UM, use a water based lube.

510
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: You don't want to make the mistake of using like vassiline.

511
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: I guess I should say petroleum jelly or baby oil

512
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: or lotions or anything like that, anything that could have patrol. Yeah,

513
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: that's all oil based and that's gonna not do you

514
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: any favors in the reliability department. Right, you want it

515
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: to be water based. Lubricant. That's right, But she also

516
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: points out that you using extra lubricant is effective in

517
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: preventing breakage during um anal penetration, but in vaginal penetration

518
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: it can actually increase the likelihood of breakage of the condom.

519
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: I did not know that. I did not know that either.

520
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: So we're learning right along with you people. Yeah, I'm

521
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: so glad to want to you sees anymore? Being married

522
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: is great. Uh So after the male ejaculates, this is

523
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: post coital ejaculation, you hope. Yeah, that's true. Um, you

524
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: want to hold the rim of the condom to keep

525
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: it from slipping off when you um exit the vagina

526
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: and withdraw the penis. Uh And and before the erection

527
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: is law Right, you don't want to have the condom

528
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: on lose your erection while you're still in mid penetration. Uh.

529
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: And then you want to run outdoors to begin the

530
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: disposal process, which, as we said, ends in the yard. Right.

531
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 1: That's right. Remove the condom, wrap it in a tissue,

532
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: put it in a garbage can, and don't reuse it.

533
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: No matter what your friend says, don't reuse it and

534
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: don't wear two of them. Yeah, a lot of people

535
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: have latex allergies, and of late condoms are latex. So

536
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: some people say, well, late text works the best. I'll

537
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: just use um a sheep skin membrane condom over my

538
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: penis and then put a latex one over that. Apparently

539
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: that is basically just really upping the risk of breakage

540
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: of both. Yeah. Or if you think you know two

541
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: is better than one, I don't know where this person

542
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: has been. That's just not smart. You should probably not

543
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: be with that person. If you're thinking about were two condoms,

544
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: just block away from the bowling alley and go home

545
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: or the roller rink again. Uh. And Tracy also points

546
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: out for our younger listeners, condoms break more often if

547
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: they're blown up or filled with water before use, So

548
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: don't use it as a toy and then use it

549
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: as a you know, disease preventer, right and if it breaks,

550
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: stop what you're doing, get a new one. Yeah. Yeah,

551
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big one, because you don't want

552
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, well I went through the first

553
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: couple of steps doing it. It was fine. Yeah, And

554
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, if you're serious about this, then what you're

555
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: trying to do is prevent pregnancy or infection. You're gonna

556
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: want to replace it like it's worth if you used

557
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: it in the first place, then you might as well

558
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: stop for a second shot another one. All right, Um,

559
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: don't be a jerk, I guess is what you're saying. Seriously,

560
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: you're trying to prevent, like you said, pregnancy. Most people

561
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: are when they use condoms or um more than thirty

562
00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: types of viruses or bacterial infections or parasites. Right, Yeah,

563
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: sex is dirty business. It certainly can be. I think

564
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: this proves that, um, there is a god. All right.

565
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: So you know all those diseases in bacteria for the

566
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: most part, do we need to go over those? Sure? Chlamydia, UH,

567
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: genital herpes, genital warts, gnarrhea, hepatitis B, HIV of course,

568
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: pubic lice, um, syphilis, trick omniasis. Yeah, yeast infections, these

569
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: and many more can all be yours if you don't

570
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: use a condom and you sleep with somebody who has

571
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: any of them. Yes, and genital warts and herpes and

572
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: pubic lice and a few other s. T i s

573
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: can still be yours even if you do use a condom,

574
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: because they are not passed through the fluids. They are

575
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: passed through skin and hair and other stuff down there

576
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: in that area. Um, so chuck, how effective our condoms,

577
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: like you said, when when you use them correctly, they work,

578
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: like they've been proven to work. Like we have come

579
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: to the pinnacle of mail um prophylaxis with the latex condom,

580
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: Like it totally works. If you use it correctly and

581
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: you use it every time, you're going to be fine. Uh.

582
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: And they know this by um by doing studies of

583
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: specifically sero discordant um couples, which means one couple as

584
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: HIV and weren't one person in the couple as HIV

585
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: the other partner doesn't. And they found that people who

586
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: used the condom correctly every time they had sex had

587
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: pretty much a nil chance or z chance of UM

588
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: contracting HIV by the end of this study. Yeah, that's

589
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 1: a two year period of these couples, so that there's

590
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of sex going on. It wasn't

591
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: just like hey, you had sex one time and you

592
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: didn't get HIV. That's great, right, So good good study

593
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: from UNAIDS or un AIDS, right, which that makes sense. UNAIDS,

594
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 1: like they're fighting AIDS, they should be called un AIDS

595
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: is this United nation though, Um. And they found though

596
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: that couples that that didn't use them all the time,

597
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: just kind of here, they're at a fourteen to twenty

598
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: one percent chance of um contracting HIV during the study. Yeah,

599
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: and pregnancy prevention is pretty similar, um, over the course

600
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: of the year. And of course I don't see any

601
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: ages or anything like that, yere, It just says a woman.

602
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: But a woman using a condom over the course of

603
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: a year, who uses it perfectly for every act of

604
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: sexual intercourse with a man has only a three percent

605
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: chance of becoming pregnant. So nine effective. That's pretty good. Sure. Um,

606
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,959
Speaker 1: if you use a condom typically, which is apparently not

607
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,280
Speaker 1: that great, not that well, Um, and you're a woman,

608
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: you have twelve percent chance of an unplanned pregnancy. But

609
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: both of those beat not using anything at all, which

610
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: leads to an eight percent chance of getting pregnant over

611
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: the course of a year just by having sex. And

612
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: you mean, it doesn't say how many men or anything

613
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: like that, not many trips to the roller rink this entails,

614
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: So what year is it? So there's a lot of

615
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: roller rink sex going on. What got me started was

616
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: the idea of like a condom like in your pocket,

617
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: remember the condom ring in the genes or in your

618
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: wallet or whatever. Just associate that with the roller rink

619
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: and like kids with like half mustaches and like mullets

620
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So that's that's where the roller

621
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: rink reference came from. All right. So, um, some folks

622
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 1: say that, you know what, if you make condoms available

623
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 1: to my teenager, it's going to encourage them to have sex.

624
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: Um studies suggests that that is not the case. Um.

625
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: This one study observed over four thousand teenagers over an

626
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: eight year period, which is a pretty good study if

627
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: you ask me. By the end of the study, all

628
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: of the participants were sexually active, and the teenager who

629
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: use condoms during their first sexual encounter were not more

630
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: likely to have more partners than those who did not.

631
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: But the condom using teens were less likely to have

632
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: been diagnosed with gnorette or chlamydia. So this study at

633
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: least points out that it's not gonna encourage promiscuity, but

634
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 1: it will keep you from getting pregnant in disease. I think, um,

635
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: being in your teens encourages promiscuity. Yeah, you know, yeah,

636
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the whole argument. It's like, are

637
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: they going to do it anyway? And if they are,

638
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: then make sure they have plenty of condoms. And other

639
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: people say, well, now they're not gonna do it anyway,

640
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: they just need to abstain, and condoms are like the

641
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 1: devil's temptation. I'm ready for for humanity to evolve more

642
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: in that realm. Like it made sense for for eighteen

643
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: year old males to be at like their peak of

644
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: sexual prowess and girls being able to get pregnant when

645
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: they were fourteen, you know, three years ago, when we

646
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 1: were living to thirty years old, it made sense. These days,

647
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: it's just like a cruel joke. Well, you know what's

648
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: interesting is we're actually going the other direction, like puberty

649
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: coming younger and younger. The average boy enters puberty and

650
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: I don't that this doesn't mean sexual maturation, but begins

651
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 1: puberty at like age seven or eight. Now that's crazy.

652
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: And see nowadays people are getting I'm not everyone, but

653
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: people are waiting longer in general to get married and

654
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 1: have a family, and it's getting harder and harder, uh,

655
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: for older people to get pregnant much less the man

656
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: who was, you know, starts the decline after eighteen years old.

657
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: You get married in your mid thirties, it's like, sorry,

658
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: you know, my best days were We're wasted right well,

659
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: which is ironic because by that time you can grow

660
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: a decent mustache, I know, you know, all right, So, um,

661
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: there's this whole thing associated with condoms. They are a

662
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: unique breed of product. You know, if you look at

663
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: them as a commodity, as a retail product, uh, then

664
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: they should be the same as candy or a toy

665
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: or you know, what have you. But something that these um,

666
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,479
Speaker 1: these other products lack is what's called social marketing, which

667
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: is what makes condoms virtually unique. There is a there's

668
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: a great public interest in condoms being purchased and distributed

669
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: and easily gotten by everybody in the world, whether it's

670
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: for population control which is pretty sinister sounding um or

671
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: through disease prevention. But governments around the world invest heavily

672
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: in condoms, and by doing that, they basically just buy

673
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of condoms and turn around and selimented discount. Yeah,

674
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: it's called social marketing. And the ideas that if they

675
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: don't want to make them free, although you know there

676
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: are plenty of places that give out condoms, um, but

677
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: they want to make them very cheap for those who

678
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: can't afford them, because the idea is that if you

679
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: pay for something, you're more likely to use it. Uh,

680
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: sort of like the co ed model. These kids who

681
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: pay for their textbooks instead of just giving them textbooks,

682
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: they're more likely to ease it. So I don't know

683
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: why I made that connection, but the same thing, well

684
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: it is, it's the exact same principle. You, Um, you

685
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: have some sort of ownership over something you've paid for. Yeah.

686
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: And Tracy said the rule of thumb is that a

687
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: year supply of condoms should cost no more than one

688
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: percent of the target countries per capita gross national product.

689
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's just Tracy saying that either. Well,

690
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: now she didn't make that up. So um, there's uh,

691
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: the other aspect of it. There's buy part of one

692
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: part of social marketing is buying condoms and distributing them

693
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: for cheap um. And this is like federal government, national

694
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: government level stuff. Uh. And then the other side of

695
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: it is educating the public. Yeah, you got to wear them, yeah,

696
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: and you have to know how to wear them. We

697
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: could probably get some federal funding for this episode. If

698
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: you ask about little kickback. You have to know how

699
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: to wear them, You have to know what they do,

700
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: you have to know why to wear it, why you

701
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: should wear them. Um, you should be able to explain

702
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: it in plain simple terms to anybody who who who

703
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: is riding a bus that if they don't wear a condom,

704
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: they can die, or their junk can fall off, or

705
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: there's all sorts of terrible stuff that can happen to

706
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: you if you don't wear a condom. Right, Yeah, And

707
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: it's been pretty successful in countries like Thailand where they

708
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: have a big commercial sex industry. UM. In nineteen eighty

709
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: nine they started a campaign for commercial sex workers to

710
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: use condoms of the time, always use them and pretty

711
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: amazing results. UM. In nineteen eighty nine, before the campaign,

712
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: fourteen percent of the sex workers had consistently used condoms.

713
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: By just five years later used condoms and uh not. Coincidentally, UM,

714
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: s t I cases diagnosed among sex workers fell from

715
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: four over four hundred thousand per year to just under

716
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: thirty thousand per year. That's a huge, huge drop off. Yeah,

717
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: just use the condom. That's all you gotta do. And

718
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the world watched Thailand, their jaws fell open,

719
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: so they started buying condoms like crazy. So like in

720
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: two thousand, for example, UM, South Africa bought two d

721
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: and fifty million condoms to million condoms Botswana perchas twelve million,

722
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: UM four hundred and fifty million condoms in India. UM.

723
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: So this is um, this is a ton of condoms

724
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: we're talking about. That was just two thousand, right, many

725
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: tons of condoms. Right. Apparently the condom industry, which is

726
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: just love and this social marketing stuff UM, is producing

727
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: between eight and twelve billion condoms a year, right, Apparently

728
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: we would need fifteen billion to effectively cover everybody for

729
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 1: a year. Yea, every everybody is sexually active, you would

730
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: need fifteen billion condoms. So they're close but not close enough. Right.

731
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 1: That means everybody in the world does it more than

732
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: twice a year, because there's like six billion people on

733
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: the planet. Right. Uh well yeah, I mean if you

734
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: want to average out like that, right, I think a

735
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: lot of people aren't a lot of people are doing

736
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: it more, right, but sure if you want to throw

737
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: an average on it. Um. The thing is is, so

738
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: we're we're short of condoms, which is mind boggling. There's

739
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: only sixty factories on the planet making condoms for the

740
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: whole world, So when you look at it like that,

741
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 1: it's pretty impressive. But apparently the condom industry is stepping

742
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: up the call and by is projected to have to

743
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:02,720
Speaker 1: produce twenty five billion condoms. There you go. Uh, first,

744
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: that's a six billion dollar industry. That's good, But what's crazy?

745
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: That's a six billion dollar industry. Los Angeles County from

746
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: porn makes one six of the equivalent of the entire

747
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: condom industries money in porn, in just porn. Yeah, in

748
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: just that one county. Yeah. See how everything is connected?

749
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: I do. Uh. So here in the United States, Uh,

750
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: the f d A controls something called good manufacturing practices,

751
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: uh rules and standards for making drugs and things like condoms.

752
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: So the f d A is is has standards. There

753
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:45,280
Speaker 1: are also international standards, the International Organization for Standardization. UM,

754
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 1: they have their own standards that covered these medical devices,

755
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: and they have silly numbers attached to them, but that

756
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,959
Speaker 1: really means nothing to anyone, does it. Well, In case

757
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: you ever wanted to know, I s O four oh

758
00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: seven four colon two zero zero two is the international

759
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: standard for condom manufacture and distribution. That's right, And we're

760
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: talking about standards. We're talking about acceptable levels of condoms

761
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: that are defective per batch UM credit. I would imagine

762
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: the average consumers like zero. That'd be nice um accreditation.

763
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: For labs that test these procedures material shelf life stability,

764
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: they're just making sure all that is up to snuff UM.

765
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: And again, as we said, they're the the standards are

766
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: in this manual called zapping, popping, rolling, and other condom

767
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: testing tools that bear repeating um. Condoms used to be

768
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: they're a little more acceptable to buy these days. Shouldn't

769
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,240
Speaker 1: be embarrassed to walk into your grocery store by condoms,

770
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: said the forty one year old, exactly. But it's not

771
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: in that way for everyone. It's not in that way

772
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: for every group because they are taboo UM. In some

773
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: religions UM. Catholicism uh fame Slee does not allow the

774
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: use of contraception. Orthodox Judaism, apparently Islam does allow it

775
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: if you are married heterosexuals, hed heterosexuals, and you have

776
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: reason to prevent pregnancy, and then UM. Conservative Christian groups

777
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: have long promoted abstinence rather than the use of condoms,

778
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: and sometimes even fought the education and distribution of condoms

779
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: for reasons we said earlier, like they think it makes

780
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: their children promiscuous and they will want to have sex

781
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: because they now have this condom. That is the key

782
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: to them wanting to have sex. And it's not to

783
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: the government to carry out population control exactly. UM In

784
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: Nevada has been mandatory to use condoms if you are

785
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: in a brothel, so highly regulated UM sex industry there, Nevada, Nevada, Nevada.

786
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: Excuse me, so Josh who uses condoms? Uh, everybody who

787
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 1: can get their hands on them apparently uses condoms. Um.

788
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: The u N says that two thirds of the world

789
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: has already and available access ready and easy access to condoms, right,

790
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: and they actually created a definition. You have to I'd

791
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: love the u N. You know, ready and easy access

792
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: to condoms mean you have to spend less than two

793
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: hours a month buying condoms. So I guess like taking

794
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: a bus in a town or something like that. If

795
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: you live in the middle of nowhere and Africa, it

796
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: might take a while to get a condom. So this

797
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: distribution net of condoms needs to be pretty uh, pretty wide,

798
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: pretty um woven well woven. Yeah, and then UM, you

799
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: also don't want to pay more than one percent of

800
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 1: a person's monthly take home pay wherever they live. That's right.

801
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: So when the U n is in the world is

802
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: trying to distribute these and make them available, those are

803
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: the criteria they look for, or as far as like

804
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: what they're going to charge people maybe in one of

805
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: these less developed countries, right, Um, And they we found

806
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: that because of efforts like this, condom use around the

807
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: world has increased. Apparently, prior to the eighties, UM, evaluations

808
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: of condom usage has just been like married couples. I

809
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 1: don't understand why. Um, Apparently things were there was maybe

810
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: tawdry or something, who knows, but Um. The Brits went

811
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: ahead and did a survey in nineteen fifty and found

812
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: that UM for their first sexual encounter of men and

813
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: women used a condom by about sixty did right, So

814
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: there's definite increasing condoms condom usage. Um. They found that

815
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: people who live with their partners typically use condoms less

816
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: Um people who makes sense. I guess the older you are,

817
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: the less you would be, the less likely you would

818
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: be to use condoms, probably because you're in a long

819
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: term monogamous relationship, right. Uh. And then um, people with

820
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: latex allergies tend to not use condoms. Yeah. And these

821
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,959
Speaker 1: were studies from Europe mainly, but I imagine it's pretty

822
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: similar in other parts of the world. Yeah, but hearteningly

823
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: people UM in Netherlands, France, Belgium, and Britain. They found

824
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: that the more partners of person had, the more likely

825
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: they were to use condoms. To use a Jimmy hat

826
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 1: a French letter, French letter. I don't even know if

827
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: that one is all right. There are female condoms um

828
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: that are fairly new, um when when they come around Switzerland,

829
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: approved here in the United States. And and uh it

830
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: is a um paul yourthane sheath sort of like the

831
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: male condom, except it's just it's got two rings, one

832
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: on either end, one a little smaller on one end,

833
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 1: and that it fits in the woman's vagina, and it

834
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: sort of is just like a reverse of what the

835
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: male condom is. Um. They some of the benefits as

836
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: a woman can put this in um beforehand, whereas a

837
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: man obviously has has to be go time, has to

838
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: have the erect penis, right exactly like the woman can

839
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: insert this anytime anytime. UM. Well, I'm sure they are,

840
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, recommendations for how long that you use this

841
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: thing as well. Um. But it is another barrier method

842
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: that protects against HIV and pregnancy and they tend to

843
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: be reusable yep. Because it's poly erethane, you can use

844
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: oil based lubricants. Yep. Um. And also in places where

845
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: it's difficult or impossible because of social norms for a

846
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:48,280
Speaker 1: woman to insist that the guy wear a condom. Um,

847
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: this is very useful because it's it's given control of

848
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: who uses the condom win to the woman. Um. It

849
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 1: is more expensive, which is one of the disadvantages and

850
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: um that could lead some people in developing nations to

851
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: wash it and reuse it, which is not recommended. Um.

852
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: And apparently in in trials clinical trials, it's slightly less

853
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: effective at preventing pregnancy and s t i S than

854
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: male condoms. But it's way way, way better than nothing obviously. Um.

855
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 1: What else do we have? We have? Uh, spray on condoms? Yeah,

856
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: sort of, not yet, they're in they're still being toyed

857
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: with apparently. Yeah. This guy named I can't remember his

858
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,240
Speaker 1: first name. His last name is Kraus. He's a sex

859
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 1: educator from Germany. Um and he apparently had trouble finding

860
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: condoms that fit him when he was younger, a younger man.

861
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: He's thirty. Now, I get the idea that he was small. Oh,

862
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: I got the idea the opposite idea. I don't know,

863
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 1: because later in the article he talked about being small

864
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: and like, I want to make condoms for smaller guy?

865
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 1: Is because oh I missed that part. Yeah, um, well,

866
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 1: it's funny new ideas to have a range of sizes,

867
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: like six sizes. The markets wide open for small condoms.

868
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: Apparently traj And tried it a few years ago and

869
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: like this continued him almost immediately because they didn't sell

870
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: any condoms for the smaller man or something. Right, Yeah,

871
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,959
Speaker 1: although magnum condoms like have seventent of the market share,

872
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,439
Speaker 1: they're like fifteen percent bigger than normal condoms. Yeah, and

873
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: and Cross's uh, his theory is that guys that are

874
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,919
Speaker 1: smaller don't want to walk into a store and buy

875
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: the small condoms, so he wants to. I mean, he's

876
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: he's working on the spray on condom, but he's also

877
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,919
Speaker 1: working on different sizes that I think are a little

878
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: more Um, the packaging is a little less obvious, you know,

879
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: it's not like you don't walk up and by like

880
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: the teeny leany Well, he originally, you know, I think

881
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: he wants to make it a little more clandestine. He

882
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: originally set up this website, which is pretty cool, um,

883
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: where you can download this measuring tape that you print

884
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: out news and then you enter in your dimensions in

885
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 1: the website and it brings up all of the condoms

886
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: for sail in Germany that are likeliest to fit you best.

887
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: This is pretty cool. Yeah. But now he's created the

888
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: spray on condom. Yeah, here's how this thing works. You

889
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 1: put your penis in a tube and its sprays from

890
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: many different directions the condom latex onto your penis, your

891
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: erect penis and um. Then it has to dry, which

892
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: is one of the problems that it hisses when it sprays,

893
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:37,320
Speaker 1: So some dudes are worried that might ruin the mood. Um.

894
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: Some guys were a little worried about putting their penis

895
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: in this tube. Period and then um liquid latex takes

896
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 1: about two to three minutes to vulcanize and in order

897
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: for people to buy these things. He thinks it's gonna

898
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: have to be ready in like five to ten seconds.

899
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: So because it's like you better learn how to juggle

900
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 1: or something to like keep the interest going for those

901
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: couple of minutes. Is that what does it juggling? Juggling

902
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: or I don't know, maybe making an omelet. And then

903
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: there are the anti rape condoms, which are controversial to

904
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: say the least. A South African doctor came up with these,

905
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: and they are like the female condom, but it's also like, um,

906
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but like the closest analogy

907
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: is like a Chinese finger trap. Yeah, like that, once

908
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: the totalist goes in, there's these plastic teeth that hold

909
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: it in place, and only a doctor can remove this

910
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: basically giant female condom that's now attached to your penis.

911
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,720
Speaker 1: And the reason she came up with this was because

912
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: rape in South Africa is um out of control. Some

913
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: survey from two thousand nine found that one in four

914
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: South African men admit to raping a woman and that

915
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: they think possibly one point four million women are raped

916
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: in South Africa every year. That's the population of Phoenix.

917
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: So this woman came up with this. It's basically like

918
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: the female condom that will immediately inflict pain on the rapist.

919
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 1: The woman can, I guess, get away, but the man

920
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: stuck with this on right, and he has to go

921
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: to the emergency room where hopefully the police will be

922
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:16,799
Speaker 1: there to arrest him. Well, the woman doesn't necessarily get away,

923
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: which is one of the pitfalls that she admits to.

924
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 1: It could encourage a violence against the woman in the

925
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 1: moment um and another person from the c D c

926
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: UH says that it's also a form of enslavement. It's

927
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: um a constant reminder of a woman's vulnerability, um, and

928
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: it gives them also a false sense of security. But

929
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: the psychological trauma of the rape is still there. But

930
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: at least you're going to catch the guy. Is just

931
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,919
Speaker 1: their rationale. And um, when people say that have told

932
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: her this is a medieval thing that you're coming up with,

933
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: she says, so is rape. So put that in your

934
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: pipe and smoke it. Yeah, and that thing is called

935
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: the rape act. Are a p hyphen a x E.

936
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: And I believe it's right backs dot com maybe or

937
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 1: something that takes you to the website. But if you

938
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 1: type in rate backs into your search browser. That's gonna

939
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 1: bring that up. Great, what else, Chuck, I don't have

940
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: anything else. You don't want to talk about the goat condom?

941
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: That's population control man, all right, let's talk about it

942
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: like we are goats. To some people. There's a something

943
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: called an oh lore that. Um it's basically this impediment

944
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: that hangs from the abdomen of a male goat that

945
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: keeps him from um, it's a barrier to prevent him

946
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 1: from penetrating the female during intercourse, right, And they use

947
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 1: this to control goat populations so that they don't starve.

948
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: And it's not a you know, it's not something that

949
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 1: goes on the penis. I think it's just a physical barrier,

950
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: right that just like a male goat chastity belt that

951
00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: the goat knocks into called an olar. So thanks, thank

952
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: God for that. Yeah, it's good though I'm crack wise,

953
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 1: but better than starving goats. That is condoms. Well done,

954
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: well done to YouTube, not much giggling. I wonder how

955
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: many times we said penis paenis a bunch more than

956
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: we ever have in a conversation. I would say I

957
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: would say that's probably fairly accurate. I wonder if we

958
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: topped that Sara Lives gets use of penis remember at

959
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: the Nudist Camp. Oh yeah, with Kevin Nelon and Mike Myers.

00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:37,320

967
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: about that kind of thing. Yeah, I think we should

968
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: start peppering these throughout. Do a little more sex ed

969
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: here and there. Okay, it's good. Um you well, since

Speaker 1: know what that means. You know what that means. It's

972
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: time for listener mail. All right. UM, I'm gonna call

973
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: this music experiment. Um, you guys are awesome. Been listening

974
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: since about two thousand ten. Just listen to why does

975
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: music provoke emotion? I thought I would share an experiment

976
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: that I did a few years ago. I came up

977
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: with the idea of listening to my music in sequential

978
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: order by year of release. Remember this guy, Yeah, it's

979
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I don't have his name now I feel awful. Um.

980
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: I started dividing it up by five years, and each

981
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: five year period took about one and a half to

982
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: two weeks. So he's basically only listening to that era

983
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: in order, one at a time. So like the fifth

984
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: week of September ninety two, which never existed like that,

985
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: you well, just in order, like I'm listening to the

986
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: nineteen fifties music for this week. So the whole thing,

987
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: uh ended up taking about three and a half months,

988
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: which is much longer than I planned. I'm a big

989
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: music guy, and I started at around pre nineteen fifties.

990
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: I should note that while I did this, I did

991
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 1: my best to isolate myself musically. What is listening to

992
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: anything else that wasn't from that period that I was

993
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: in that week? It's kind of cool. I ended up

994
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: being one of the most rewarding experience I've had in

995
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: a long time. Aside from noticing many new things and

996
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: songs that I had listened to countless times before, I

997
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: feel like I began forming a connection with the time

998
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: period of the music I was listening to. Even when

999
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: I was wearing right now. At times, I could almost

1000
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: feel the angst or even excitement of events long past,

1001
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: as if I had lived them, events that weren't necessarily

1002
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: mentioned or addressed in the songs themselves. By the time

1003
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: I was done, I felt like I had traveled through time.

1004
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: I had a strange connection with events I had never experienced,

1005
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: except through the music that was popular at the time

1006
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: of those events. Many things that didn't make much sense

1007
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: to me musically, all of a sudden had a different significance.

1008
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: So thanks for the work guys. Definitely makes my drive

1009
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: to work a much more enjoyable. Thanks again, And I

1010
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: wish I had your name. Well, we'll read it if

01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,560

Speaker 1: Maybe they're coming up from the sewer when Oh, that's

1022
