Have a Safe World Day!

I call December 1st World Condom Day, though it’s actually World AIDS Day today.

The connection isn’t exactly obscure, is it? Besides, the real World Condom Day doesn’t get nearly enough press—in fact, I’m not entirely sure when World Condom Day officially is! Some areas celebrate in late September, others in early November (Nov 3rd and 4th this year, though presumably not both), and then there are the folks who don’t differentiate between AIDS Day and the Day of the Condom at all...

Take your pick, one or all.

Though this year there doesn’t seem to be all that much observing going on. Locally, I saw a lot more Green protect the environment! news than Red Ribbon protect your health coverage today. And more about the holiday shopping outlook than either, everything from “protecting your credit during the Christmas season” to reminders that shoppers should hide packages and lock their car doors to the inevitable Safe Toys for Tots.

It seems safety is still the slogan, but sex is a secret once again. So here’s a recommendation that should satisfy:

Shop online (save the environment: don’t drive all around town to browse) using approved merchant sites (protect your credit) for novelty Christmas condoms! Slip a few sheaths into your lover’s holiday stocking. And celebrate the season safely.

Okay, seriously. Condom humor, anyone?

You all know I’m a fan of Miss Cellania (if you didn’t before, you do now ). She did her usual bang-up job on condoms a while back...including some posts so funny, you might want to put a condom on your keyboard before you begin to read!

As always,
wishing you peace and (safe) x-rated joy,
