How does rinsing out the condom help?

Indeed, the way to go is to stitch it together.

Just buy high-quality professional condoms.

Pesky armadillos, that they are, pesky indeed, I'm glad research is being conducted into just how pesky they are.

I went to see the Ig Nobels a few years ago when I was in Law School. If I recall, someone won for their research as to why people don't like the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard.

And the reason was that the tonality and the structure of that sound are very similar to the danger warning scream of a human-ancestor ape.


Hardly so unworthy as to warrant an Ignobel.

Mountain Dew is better, it even kills the sperm before the men ejaculate.

Surely with themselves . . .
Maybe with each other, not that it's gay to do that. No, mutual masturbation is so totally not gay it is almost straight.

This wouldn't be the NSG I know if there weren't already at least one going on.

We're mixing it up and adding some 3D into it with a dodecahedron jerk. :)

The Coca-cola douch thing has been around for at least 50 years, I first heard of it 35 years ago myself. It sort of slipped into that urban myth-zone when the pill and other contraceptives took it out of regular practice, but my understanding is that it was a fairly common thing in the 60's and early 70's.

I blame the demise of the practice on modern packaging as much as more readily available conventional contraceptives.

It was a lot easier in practice back then with the long neck 16 oz glass bottles.... ;)

It can't be as effective as they claim (or as effective as my tween friends claimed) because the sperm you really have to worry about is sitting so far up in the cul de sac that it's almost impossible to even get to with douche.

Also, that much sugar in there......it's gonna throw things off, you're gonna get vaginosis. :(

They have X-treme sex. With snowboards. Or so I understand from the TV.

Snowboards, eh? Now if those snowboards were used for a firm bit of X-treme spanking, I could see the erotic qualities of such sexual acts.

The fun part is that they honoured research that found that it worked as spermicide, AND research that found that it didn't!

But the best part of the CNN article must be:
A Coca-Cola spokeswoman refused comment on the Ig Nobel awards.:D

And my favourite prize winner:
MEDICINE PRIZE. Dan Ariely of Duke University, USA, for demonstrating that high-priced fake medicine is more effective than low-priced fake medicine.
