I just got interviewed for several radio stations in the Denver area. I always love to do radio interviews, especially when the topic is condoms! It seems I can talk at length about condoms, go figure.
Radio personalities are always so much fun to talk to when the topic is condoms because, among those who will talk about them, the topic always brings out smiles and laughter. I love my job!!!
New Scientist reports on recent developments in microbiocides and other attempts at creating "chemical condoms." I suspect that the time horizon for such tools is farther off than anyone can imagine at this point. Even if the idea of creating genetically modified vaginal flora cuts it in the marketplace as a concept I have serious doubts that such a thing can work in reality, at least for the foreseeable future.
Granted it would be a nice thing to have a contingent of gentically modified vaginal flora with the sole purpose of taking out the HIV virus but the reality is that any chemical or florae prophylactic will have to deal with a whole host of buggers which may have the opportunity to take up residence in the vagina. HIV is, after all, only one of many STIs loosed in the wilds of our boudoirs.

While apparently able to avail himself of his right of free speech (thank goodness!) Eric Rasmusen shows himself to be a very sloppy writer. If he confuses the difference between homosexuality and homosexual "relations" I have to wonder if he actually knows what he's talking about when it comes to other subjects which he is apparently quite versed in, such as, say, game theory.
