Why is the age 25 a magic number.

[ICanSeeTheSun]

I have been doing nurse bank shifts, this week I have been covering a sexual Heath clinic.

What I noticed was a lot of signs on the wall. These signs was for a C card, which enables under 25 to get condoms, dams and lube.

I don't know the stats, and I am very new to bank nursing as a HCSW ( old name NA) so didn't want to rock the boat and ask this.

What's a dental dam?!

A horse with big teeth.

Think MrS Ed.

I've used a dam purely out of curiosity mind. I got given one with a bunch of free condoms. The 'moment' was killed almost instantly as i burst out laughing. someone giving you oral with a square of what appeared to be latex glove spread across your genitals is not what i would class as erotic.

It said on the wrapper it was for anus licking too. I can understand why you would want a barrier between your tongue and someones arse hole though.

I've yet to find anyone who's used a dental dam for oral sex. It's like a sexual health advice parallel universe.

Are they still maintaining they are a real thing? I remember a sixth for sexual health session dissolving into scepticism 20 years ago over those. Like the TV licensing vans of safe sex.

Sounds a bit sharp.

I wonder how a flattened-out crisp packet would fare

Or cling film. Or a bin liner.

I draw the line at tin foil though.

there has to be a line somewhere.
What is your aibu?

I wonder how a flattened-out crisp packet would fare.

nah just use clingfilm.

dammit pumpkin!

Ha-crisp packet! It makes you wonder why they've not gone down the savour route with condoms. Kebab and chips flavour would save from all sorts of problems!

That should be savoury of course although with a good flavour selection people may indeed savour and enjoy!

I think its because you are supposed to be a bit more responsible for yourself. I was married with 4 kids at 25 but still had to have the fucking chlamydia test everytime I got a smear. Fair enough I was sexually active from a young age and married DH when I was 17 but it doesn't mean I was sleeping around. We are still together now.

There has alway got to a thread police.... Quick every hide the Feds are coming.

Ah had my first baby at 25 got married and brought a house back in the good old days when you could actually afford to.

Now am 25 years older than that and he's 25 this year.

Definatly a magic number.

I def know people who have used dental dams for oral sex, but they are lesbians/queer women - prob different for straight women.

I am pleased to hear that dams are being used

Like the TV licensing vans of safe sex.

Is that, like, sex with the gear in, like, neutral?

Anyone can get condoms free at any age from your practice nurse at GP surgery.
