Condoms
Lost (Condon) Condom

Dear Alice,

Lucy and Ricardo just had sex. Ricardo notice his condom is missing, ay, yay, yay, where did it go. Lucy is afraid that it could still be inside her. Lucy is afraid that she could develop an infection. Ricardo had no idea -- no condom in sight. What do they do? What can they do to avoid embarrassment? Can you help, Alice?

Dear I Love Lucy,

Ay, yay, yay! Que sorpresa! El condon may still be inside of her. When her body relaxes, she (or you) may be able to find it more easily by letting her (or your) fingers do the walking. It is possible for her to get an infection, if el condon is stuck inside of her, so it's important for her to get it out. If neither she nor you can reach it, ay, yay, yay, el doctor or enfirmera needs to be seen. No problemo.

El condon can get stuck inside a vagina, or an anus, after a man ejaculates. So, it's important for you, Ricky, to hold onto el condon at the base of your penis, after you have ejaculated, as you withdraw. This is for safer sex as well as for contraception.

To avoid embarrassment? Ay caramba, only one way! Is to laugh!

Ay, yay, yay,

Alice
