Can A Vegetarian Use A Lambskin Condom?
*****
Did I forget to write last night? I think I did. Well,
it's no loss, really. Yesterday was a repeat of Saturday.
More lounging around. We couldn't think of anything worth
leaving the house for. Not to mention it rained yesterday.
I hate being out and about when it's raining. Only if I
absolutely have to and I didn't, so we stuck close to home.
Today Snookums woke up wanting to get out of the house for
awhile. So we gathered up the family and did what
everybody in Kitsap county decided to do; Go to the mall.
Sadly, there isn't much else to do around here. On the
plus side, I did get Keenan some cute outfits at Kohl's.
Buy two get one free. That made navigating through an
insanely crowded mall slightly worth it.
I'm considering starting a campaign against stupidity. I'm
not sure how to go about that, but it sounds like a good
idea. I think it's a travesty how many people in the world
say dumb-ass things without thinking first. Really, it's
an epidemic. I had three people make insensitive comments
on how white my son is (compared to me). Why does it
matter what color he is? Yeah, he's pale, but look at my
husband! Snookums has very little color, so that would
explain where Keenan gets it from. Jeez. I'm not going to
dwell on it. People say dumb things. I get that. I just
wanted to put that out there. Anybody else want to start a
campaign against stupidity let me know. We'll take it to
Congress :)
I'm weirded out right now and I totally did it to myself.
I have no one else to blame. I'm an intelligent person,
but even Einstein had off-days, right? Well, today I had
one. I'm taking birth control (I think I mentioned that at
some point). Snookums decided he wanted to...well, you
know. I missed Saturdays' pill and because I get pregnant
VERY easily (Snookums looks at me and I'm knocked up) I
mentioned that he should probably use a condom just in
case. Well, last week I got a free sample from Trojan in
the mail. A lambskin condom. I'm allergic to latex
condoms, so when I saw that it had no latex allergens, I
figured we could give it a try. Not to get too graphic or
anything, but it feels pretty natural. Afterwards I
started thinking about the whole 'lambskin' thing. Can a
vegetarian use a lambskin condom? What's the ideology
behind that? I'm not vegetarian for animal rights reasons
really, but I do care about animals and I don't want to
contribute to their abuse. I will kill a bug if I must,
but a lamb is a whole 'nother story. So, I got online and
did some research. To answer my question; Yes. A
vegetarian can use a lambskin condom. A vegan can't. But
that opened my mind up to a different issue entirely. One
I hadn't thought about. Skin is creepy enough, but when
they say lambskin what they really mean is sheep
intestine! I had sheep intestine in my vagina! I don't
care how you look at it, that's GROSS! Lambskin sounds so
much nicer than sheep intestine, but thinking about any
animal materials inside of my in that way weirds me out a
little more every time I think about it. Even though it
was entirely pleasureable, effective and didn't give me a
urinary tract infection immediately upon use, I don't
think I'll be using one again. Free or otherwise. Ewwww. I
didn't know they used ACTUAL animal parts. Yet again, I
wish my mother had let me take sex ed in high school. 26
years old and I'm still in the dark about basic shit.
Alrighty, then. It's off to bed with me. I've got plans
for tomorrow, but if I don't get some sleep, I'll never
get to them. Ciao.
