I watched the whole interview she did with Tavis Smiley, and I watched other interview clips where she talks about it, and she was *quite* clear about the context of the song. See here for an example (topic comes in at about 1:40):

For comparison...

Meh. Sexuality and libido isn't a binary thing. If one's partner wasn't in the mood at 9:00, they could very well be interested in *some* sort of action at 1:00 in the morning. As long as the stroker isn't an ass about it, there isn't a thing wrong with asking.

Patton Oswalt, pick up white courtesy phone...

Well, unless we acidify the oceans to the point where they can't support phytoplankton. Then we're fucked sideways.

Is...is that Don Cheadle? Sure looks like him, if he were wearing blue makeup and a green wig and a Captain Planet costume.

Nah, this isn't reductive or unhelpful at all.

You'd have to take up their credentialing with them. I just know they were quite reasonable and even-handed and knowledgeable - unlike others in this thread, who seem to lack any sense of perspective or empathy, instead preferring to mock and jeer like a bunch of idiot frat boys.

I'm certainly not saying that guys shouldn't use condoms, or that hey should try to persuade women to have sex without them. I have. not. made. that. argument. I'm also well aware and agree that there are douchecanoes who try to get out of using them. I'd appreciate you not trying to tar me with that particular…

It's like you can't perceive a third option - comfortable condom AND safer sex that respects your lady bits and right to not-pregnancy. Even average-sized condoms can be uncomfortable to average-sized dicks.

A typical requirement of jokes is that they be funny - or at least a discernible attempt at humor.

For one thing - as stated quite lucidly by sex educators elsewhere in these comments, condoms that fit improperly (whether too tightly or loosely) are more likely to break or slip off. There *are* differences in fit between manufacturers and product lines, and part of "sexual health" is one's enjoyment of the act, is…

I expect you're correct; they aren't really complaining about effectiveness, but the fact that condoms suck. Then again, so do most other forms of birth control.

I'm gonna step in here and defend The Day After a bit.

What band *is* that playing, anyway?

I recently discovered that Iowa Public TV still does this.

Whatever happened to having a NYE party with your friends and getting shitfaced? Does no one do that anymore?

So...wait. Did the guy try to suck your toes before or AFTER your date barfed on your shoes? Before is just weird, but after would be fucking deviant.

NYE is "exhausting?" C'mon. It's boring and silly and amateur night, but it ain't "exhausting." Childbirth is exhausting.

I...I think I love you.
