    Look I’m sorry but this is ridiculous. The type of people to not be able to afford $15/month most likely don’t have insurance, or even access to a pharmacy. While there isn’t any real data on the venn diagram of people having sex more than once a day and being too poor to afford an extra 50¢ per day for every extra sex session, but I suspect it is vanishingly small.

    At some point this is just virtue signaling. It’s eyeroll inducing.

      First off, condoms break…not often but they do.

      secondly, some use toys that may or may not need to be also covered.

      Third, you really should be changing condoms after anal and going to something else.

      Finally there are people that are incredibly… uh… horny. I’m not one of them, but yes, they do in fact exist. There’s a reason many senior living homes pass around free condoms, too.

      And on the note of people having health insurance… that’s also a problem that should be solved. But that’s rather off topic.
