This disturbs me in ways I can't even begin to describe. On the basis of that statement alone, Prince Charles is history's greatest monster.

Charles: What about me? The trouble is I need you several times a week.
Camilla: Mmm. So do I. I need you all the week. All the time.
Charles: Oh, god. I'll just live inside your trousers or something. It would be much easier!
Camilla: (laughs) What are you going to turn into, a pair of knickers?
(both laugh). Oh, you're going to come back as a pair of knickers.
Charles: Or, God forbid, a Tampax. Just my luck! (laughs).
Camilla: You are a complete idiot! (laughs). Oh what a wonderful idea!
Charles: My luck to be chucked down a lavatory and go on and on forever swirling round on the top, never going down!
Camilla: (laughing) Oh darling!
Charles: Until the next one comes through.
Camilla: Oh, perhaps you could just come back as a box.
Charles: What Sort of box?
Camilla: A box of Tampax so you could just keep going.
Charles: That's true.
Camilla: Repeating yourself. (laughing) Oh, darling. Oh I just want you now.
Charles: Do you?
Camilla: Mmm.
Charles: So do I.
is there anything sexier than british phone sex?

This is from an old SNL skit on the subject--too bad they didn't include the whole thing, when Prince Charles is surgically altered.

And if it didn't, the fact that being with her meant cheating on Diana seals the deal.

Guys need to suck it up and buy the damn things, there are worse things you can buy, like at a gas station and asking for a porn from behind the counter with a line behind you.

Hypothetical...

More uncomfortable for that person...

Guy buying tampons or girls buying condoms?

I'll ask the office on Fri. this question but until otherwise, I would go with the girl buying a package of condoms.

No way, a guy buying tampons is more awkward. Condoms are universally accepted. That being said, guys that have a problem buying tampons are pretty backward IMO. Good luck finding a girl who doesn't have a period.

I look at it like this...

If both are standing in line, what would be the thoughts be of the person in front of you or behind you.

The girl with the protection, obviously there are potential sexual activities (despite not knowing the situation) questions and potential stereotypes associated with a girl buying condoms. If a guy is in line, he's prob. impressed with that as I would, but all thoughts go into the gutter.

The guy with the tampons, yes, from another guys' perspective, he looks weak at this stage, but he'll likely get props from another woman as far as being comfortable or at least doing that.

(Edit: Mrs. UK agrees with you.)
