National Condom Week, which is February 14 to 21, is a week designed to raise awareness about the importance of using condoms, as well as dispel condom myths. But we don’t need a designated time to talk about condoms — they are regularly a topic of conversation, and the following quotes illustrate what people are saying.

1. “Condoms ribbed for extrasensitivity. The last thing I need is extrasensitivity. Here are condoms lined with a topical anesthetic for prolonged action. What a paradox. You don’t feel a thing, but you can fuck for hours. This seems to really miss the point. I want my whole life lined with a topical anesthetic.”
-Chuck Palahniuk

2. “An amicable divorce is like a ventilated condom; it just doesn’t work.”
-Rita Rudner

3. “A condom is to use as a caution for pregnancy, not as a precaution for sex.”
-Sir P.S. Jagadeesh Kumar

4. “It needs to become as easy to get hold of a condom in a poor country as Coca-Cola.”
-Clare Short

5. “Condoms should be marketed in 3 sizes — jumbo, colossal, and super colossal, so that men do not have to go in and ask for the small.”
-Barbara Seaman
