Chocolates, hearts, flowers...and condoms.

I hate the Evil Hallmark Holiday. Even when I was in short- or long-term relationships, both, I hated this made-up holiday. Why should you pick only one day to show your love?

That said, I like to do something life-affirming at this time of year, so I am forwarding this from Planned Parenthood:

Okay, so a condom isn't a part of everyone's Valentine's Day. But since the condom first hit the world many thousands of years ago, it has protected millions of people from infection and prevented untold numbers of unintended pregnancies. Not too bad, eh? And Valentine's Day is the first day of National Condom Week, so it's a great time to remind family, friends, and romantic partners about just how fantastic condoms are. How about sharing The Truth About Condoms and Planned Parenthood's condom how-to video?

The latter link is NSFW, for obvious reasons. It is, however, both safe and responsible for Home.

Be loving, be romantic...be safe. Cheers.
