NIH Spends $400K To Figure Out Why Men Don't Like Condoms

The National Institutes of Health has given $423,500 to researchers at Indiana University's Kinsey Institute to figure out why men don't like to wear condoms. The institute will also study why men have trouble using condoms and investigate "penile erection and sensitivity during condom application." "The project aims to understand the relationship between condom application and loss of erections and decreased sensation, including the role of condom skills and performance anxiety, and to find new ways to improve condom use among those who experience such problems," reads the abstract from Drs. Erick Janssen and Stephanie Sanders, both of the Kinsey Institute.

    Have you tried masterbating with a condom on? This really, really helps relieve the sensitivity issue.

    You think that's bad, wait for alimony and child support. High end prostitutes are cheap by comparison. (I actually saw a cost breakdown about that, showing cost per act of coitus with a high end prostitute vs. an ex wife. Sad, really)

    Move to a country where you can just buy her from her father?

    400 grand is less than a minute of military spending the United States. But no one is allowed to mention that fact in the "liberal" media.

    Can anyone explain to me how killing a suspected terrorist and their neighbors with a few hundred thousand dollars of ammunition is a better investment than this study? Anyone?

    You're an idiot.

    What it comes down to is only uninformed, ignorant fools still speak in absolute terms about medical procedures.

    Letting them die costs nothing.

    Burying a person is expensive too.

    Holy shit, no wonder you guys don't get laid. The discussion is about why men don't like wearing condoms, and you break it down into a mathamatical proof. Not so sexy.
