Still not seeing how that relates to Marten's relationship with it in the context we saw him use it in the comic. He wasn't arresting Tai.
Ie: he sees it as routine, not sexy. Not that I agree: IMO if it's something you're likely to be into (BDSM), the bits you learn will pique your interest. If not, it won't. I am very matter of fact and open about sex; I have an academic interest that only interacts with my more personal interest in that I learn things I may or may not want to try this way. :-D

When Hanner's dad finds out, he immediately comes down to Earth and kills Marten.
nah, he'd probably do it from orbit

So presumably Marigold isn't a virgin, or did a lot of horseriding as a kid.

Even the "Martin?" >.>

I've been on this forum the better part of a decade and I still have no idea why it's such a big deal that people occasionally spell the character names incorrectly.

Ehhh, not so much. Most western women "break" their hymens well before having pentrative sex, and even if you bleed it's seldom very much. Please bear in mind that the hymen is a membrane that pretty much rings the vaginal opening -to one degree or another- rather than something that mostly covers it. That can happen, but is abnormal and can cause problems. See here:

Quote
Some women are born without a hymen at all[2]. It can tear slightly during penetrative sex, as well as when a woman uses a tampon, rides a horse or a bicycle, masturbates, or bounces on a trampoline[3]. Basically anything athletic has the potential to cause the kind of bleeding popularly associated with first-time sex-havers[4]. Bleeding during sex (even the first time) is actually somewhat unusual, and can be easily avoided through proper lubrication and gentleness.

I'm sure someone will learn something from this - the pictures of hymens are really very illuminating if you feel the need to Google it... not something we're really educated about, and can be very confusing (to people with all genital configurations).

I never saw the issue with people writing "I'm a huge fan of Marylin Monroe" either.  :meh:

(In case you dont get it: she's spelled "Marilyn Monroe" and a "huge fan" of somebody should kind of really know how to write that persons name correctly)

I am surprised Hanners did not freak out more. Must be on heavy medication. Or is she slowly getting over her phobias?

Next: Marten drops in to get Pintsize fixed. How will Hanners and Marigold react?

Depends what you mean by "fixed." Marigold might well be ready, willing and able. Or she might have the number of a robot veterinarian handy.

Then there's this (vaguely NSFW: cartoon representation of penetrative devices)

Not necessarily canon, but I doubt Jeph would have used it if it wasn't at least somewhat in line with Marigold's character, plus, remember all the snogging she and Dale did recently.

She may have been a virgin, but I seriously doubt she's a prude. I think it was the relationship she's been anxious about, not the sex.

That leads to a infinitely looping bug where each time you reset she freaks out because the first thing she sees is you touching her.

You're supposed to use a toothpick, not your finger, according to the same strip where Jeff's post says "It's in her bellybutton." Of course, they could have gotten around the loop issue by putting it on her back, so she couldn't see you touching it.

The bad thing is i didn't see the condom wrappers at first so when i read the news post i first thought "Why would you put a bed sheet on a banana?", then read someone mention in this post about 5 times so i went back to the comic for today and saw them and then it all made sense, so not even trying to misunderstand for fun, it's possible >.<

You've got me curious :P The only troubles I've ever had was with a too small circumference (which isn't solved by trying again) or trying to put it on upside down (at which point you just flip it over and don't need a new one)

I suppose you could accidentally rip the condom while attempting to put it on, especially if your fingernails are long and/or jagged. Marigold seems like the sort of person who would probably ignore her nails until they got long enough to start breaking, at which point she might simply rip the rest of the broken nail off instead of trimming it neatly. I've known people like that...

After my extensive posts last week about the subject... YAY DALE AND MARIGOLD USED CONDOMS.  I was worried about them forgetting that, being both virgins and having very impulsive sex.

Also, am I the only person who's confused about why condoms are supposed to be hard to put on?  You just, sit it on his dick like a little dick hat, and then roll it down.  It doesn't seem that hard.  If it doesn't roll immediately without effort, turn it over, then roll.

Hey it's simpler than plugging in a USB cable.

Depending on circumstances, you now have precum which may be mixed with semen on the outer side of the condom, which defeats 90% of the purpose.

If so, why are boys advices to practise alone, so that they don't fumble too much the first time with a partner?

I don't know?  Maybe it's harder to put them on yourself than on a partner?  I haven't struggled to put them on any partners before, but it usually falls to me to do it for them.

Feudal samurai gave librarians shibari lessons...? That's a new one on me.
Shibari originated during Feudal Japan. Back in the day, they didn't have handcuffs, so they used rope. And it was kinda intricate to say the least....
SORT OF.  Not quite.  What you're thinking of is Hojojutsu.  Which was... slightly more dangerous.  The average Hojojutsu tie wraps around the person's neck, and is designed to get tighter if the person struggles or resists; they are essentially slipknots around your neck tied to your limbs.  Fight against the tie, or try and wiggle out, and you will kill yourself from strangulation (Source:  Lord Ramirez).  Which is an excessively dishonorable death.  Shibari is technically a western word for Kinbaku.  Not sure how that happened historically.  Not like Shibari vs Kinbaku matters too much, even if I had the misfortune of sitting through a panel with Lord Ramirez being an excessive weeaboo who makes a huge fucking deal about it.

For what it's worth, the tie that Marten tied in #1302 is a Shibari tie, not a Hojojutsu tie.  I had the pleasure of seeing one of the only western practitioners of Hojojutsu forcibly tie a (consenting) person before, and it's rather scary.  It's easy to see how it was used as a takedown technique, similar to how police nowadays force someone to the ground and handcuff them.

Are you kidding? It's way easier to put it on yourself. Try putting a t-shirt on someone else compared to putting it on yourself.

And yeah, really, DON'T just flip a condom over if you've put it on the wrong way, that's majorly unsafe.

That's... a really really good point.  I never thought about that before.  I've never had sex with someone I wasn't willing to fluid bond with.  I've always just used condoms as a contraceptive, not an STD preventative.  I've literally never considered that possibility before.

Now I'm somewhat mortified that I've exercised such poor form, even though it wasn't relevant for my specific needs.

EDIT:  To quote myself last week:  Fuck the grotesque lack of sex ed in some parts of the US.  Fucking abstinence-only sex "education" is fucking horrible.

There is actually even a very minor contraceptive risk as well. You can just get pregnant from pre-cum.

Honestly, these things are mega-unlikely but really not worth the risk. I mean I caught the clap from having protected sex with somebody who had a clean STI test to their name.

Chances are, if you think 'it'll never happen to me!' then it will probably happen to you.

I think we just proved, in under 5 minutes, why sex education is important, and why the giant gaping holes of abstinence only sex ed are dangerous, even if I got lucky so far.  And for a region that has shitty sex education, I've self-taught myself a ton of this shit, and even with a dumb mistake like that, I'm probably in the top 5% of folks who went to school in my region, even though I'd be in the bottom 5% of folks in areas with good sex ed.

The difference is that disparaging.  Argh.

If they fumbled that much, I guess the embarassment would overcome the sexual desire. Either Dale has impressive stamina, or Marigold has done some practice runs on a dildo or banana, just to be prepared. The bed sheets obviously have not been changed very often.

What I'm wondering is where they got the condoms. My best theory is they got them from Angus' reserve.
