When I was about ten years old I was helping my dad and uncle cut and split fire wood for the winter. I had overheard them say something about a condom and I laughed. My dad asked why I was laughing and asked if I even knew what one was. Hanging with the men I proudly explained that it was to keep the gel in! Although close, I still had no idea what the gel was or were exactly it kept it in!
