Are we sure the Olympics aren't in Greece cause those accommodations look spartan.

This article gives a fair amount of history of the struggle to figure out male comtraception from the lens of a University of Washington scientist, as well as including the following sentence which made me giggle because I'm 12:

I wouldn't, either - I just have far too much on the line. Also, given that I've had two guys say "don't worry about it, it'll be fine!" when neither of us brought a condom (no, neither of them got any), I certainly wouldn't trust a guy (especially when it's a casual thing) to be truthful about being "on the pill".

Obligatory xkcd.

The absolute last person I'd expect? That'd be me — if I'm in that scene, I will flip my damn lid.
