BANG FOR THE BITE
It's simple, and next time you're at the beach, there's less chance of stepping on something you wish were a jellyfish.
COCKTAIL FACT

What's the second-best thing about sex on the kitchen counter?
The Bite
With the trash bin right there, you'll be less tempted to flush the condom. Throwing condoms in the trash when sexy-time's over is the better Biting option, since when flushed, last night's remains could end up ruining a perfectly good beach party.The Benefits
- Cleaner waterways. Flushed condoms can get by water treatment and end up on your favorite beach. In 2006, Ocean Conservancy beach cleaner-uppers picked up 30,252 condoms.
- Healthier sea creatures. Animals can mistake condoms for food.
- Clearer septic systems. Condoms can get stuck and hang out in your pipes for years, and even if they don't, H2O treatment workers have to fish them out of the water and send them to landfills anyway.
Personally Speaking
We've found that adopting this tip helps us remember to take out the trash regularly.Wanna Try?
- Um, put it in the garbage.

you guys are totally sex obsessed. when this is nothing better to write about, out come the sex tips. what I want are biodegradable condoms to throw in the compost bin.
Aside from the "Swimming in the Amazon" tip. This is something my wife and I have no need for in our lives.
For biodegradable condoms, both lambskin and latex will break down over time. However this will most likely not happen in your compost pile. Lambskin doesn't protect against STDs though.
"It's simple, and next time you're at the beach, there's less chance of stepping on something you wish were a jellyfish." To say the least! Been there. done that.
As a student of wastewater treatment and an employee of our local water/wastewater service provider, I'm certain that a condom could not make it through a wastewater treatment plant. It shouldn't even make it through pre-treatment steps.
In "my" case I am sure the little critter was merely a by-product of some beach whoopee rather than wastewater overflow. Still ... people DO flush all kinds of non-degradable contraband down their toilets and it really is time to stop doing that. THey make 'plastic' toothbrushes etc. out of corn these days; wonder if the same technology would work with rubbers?
I'm sorry, but I must have missed this somewhere: What's the ~best~ (as opposed to second best) thing about sex on the kitchen counter? Also, I'm wondering what ~women~ can do to prevent that nasty fish from taking up residence in their urethras.
EW! OK, so I didn't even KNOW flushing was an "option" (of many, as I now sadly read...) That's soooo gross! We've been tossin' em in the trash since the 80's...Not that I'm thrilled with that either, but....
Wouldn't the best thing about sex on the kitchen counter be the sex itself? Or maybe its the close proximity to protein and sugar to keep your strength up for a marathon session. You choose.
I never gave it a thought. It seems the most natural way to dispose of used condoms, is to flush them down the toilet after use. I always have and as it is the neatest and most convienent, I will continue to do so.
