The Sex Blog Of Record
Thursday, December 1st, 2022 -- by Bacchus
Long ago, in the first flush of the “safe sex” era that arose during the AIDs epidemic, there was an attempt by various parties to rehabilitate the unsexy connotations of condom use. One of the tactics employed was to suggest (usually with chastely-abstract graphics, but sometimes with explicit and attractive photos) that a woman might “encourage” her partner to wear a condom by putting it directly on his dick with her mouth, without much use of her hands. It’s a skill of dexterity, apparently, like the old cowboy trick of rolling a cigarette one-handed while holding the reins with your other hand.
And somehow via that deep history we have arrived at Sakura (a character from the Street Fighter video game franchise) using this method to put a condom on her partner:

Kids these days, dunno how good they got it. Was a time, your condom was made out of sheep’s gut, had a fuckin’ drawstring, and needed washing after you used it:

Given that condoms-in-porn have been the subject of controversy (artistic, political, medical, legal) ever since the early days of the AIDS epidemic and continue to be so, it’s perhaps remarkable that ErosBlog has never (so far as I know) covered any aspect of the issue. Mostly it’s because this blog’s mostly R-rated approach to modern photographic porn makes dicks with raincoats rara avis around here. In much larger part, it’s because I’m ignorant about the legal, medical, and political issues, while I’m mostly apathetic (Ron White’s penetrating observation notwithstanding) about the aesthetics of penises, with or without rubber covers.
Thus I was startled to (s)tumble over an anal sex pic from Explicite Art (see it here) where the visual of the condom struck me as strongly improving the appearance of the porn. Exactly why this might be so, I’m not certain; my best guess is that the slick appearance of the latex stands in for a slippery wet look that (in other sexual contexts, though it’s illogical in this one) suggests natural arousal, which is always sexy. As always, your mileage may vary.

Every year I get older, the generational gap turns into more and more of a void. Case in point:
If you’re old enough, you remember an era when STDs typically weren’t fatal, when latex barriers weren’t the sine qua non of safer sex, and, thus, when “lube” meant anything slippery and handy.
I just about fell out of my rocking chair and swallowed my choppers when I saw the comment on this post:
“I never knew Crisco could be used a lubrication but I can see that it would be give a nice slippery coat. However, one is told never to use Crisco if you are going to use a condom.”
Somebody got the necessary safety info, but not an ounce of the cultural context that went with it.
