I had trouble understanding how a condom stayed on; wouldn't it just roll right off again? I imagined them much like nylon knee-highs, with a little bit of rubber and a scrunchy bit at the top so that it would stay on. I thought this until I was fifteen and a guy friend stuck a green condom in my purse. Later, when I was emptying it out, I got a shock and hid it away for ages so that my parents wouldn't see. Examining it through the package, and reading the side showed me how it actually works. I still have that condom, fully wrapped.
