Doesn't make me go hmmmmmmmm, but there might've been some grunting and fist-pumping.

Doesn't surprise me at all... After all, what can be safer sex than auto-gratification?

Seriously though, this is actually an important issue WRT STDs (and not only AIDS/HIV).

Some men refuse to wear condoms during sex (with others) because (to paraphrase) they "don't like eating candy with the wrapper on"....

What do you expect from a country who's constitution says that any citizen is allowed to own and carry a musket?

71 years of age.

Probably not allowed to drive....

I seriously doubt that. There are places with absolute age limits, but in the US cars are probably second only to guns as "god" given rights. My Dad drove in his eighties, though I took to "coming along" and volunteering to drive. He was so cautious that it created more risks.

Very good point.

Most of the ads I see when watching TV involve furniture, or cloths, or make-up, or cars, or drugs (may cause anal leakage, or death. Consult your doctor...).

I have never seen an ad for a musket.

Perhaps I'm just not watching the correct channels....

[Caution: flame war ahead]

Actually nobody put the finger on the red button here... Young people forget "the manners in public places", very fast, and they have no freaking idea how bothersome the light and chirps from a texting conversation can be, especially in a dark and quiet cinema hall. Total disrespect for other people watching the movie, who also paid the same money. If you want to text, why the freak you went to the cinema? Go somewhere else. If I would be 71 and having a gun, I would also shot the bastard who was texting during the movie... I would only ask once. The old guy was very generous that he asked many times...
