    "Condoms are clear?"

    Exactly what I want to imagine while I'm eating my breakfast. Let's have a more appropriate headline next time.

    God almighty, won't the Prince ever stop giving half its column space to the marginal loonies of the Anscombe Society? I understand they give endless colorful pull-quotes full of Victorian anti-sex puritanism, and this gets readers talking, but come on already with the totally disproportionate coverage of Anscombe views in every single sex-related article.

    Anscombe is not anti-sex at all. They are very much pro-sex in the context of a fully committed life-long relationship. That commitment turns out to be essential for sex to be truly fulfilling. Perhaps you will be in a better position to appreciate that after 20 years of marriage.

    not anti-Anscombe, but...

    @@Give. I can see that, but I am yet again surprised by how quickly they jump from safe sex to hook-up culture. Pro-life discussions aside, condoms are just as important in steady "committed life-long" relationships

    If I have to wait 20 years into my marriage to find out marital sex is good, maybe it's not as good as you think. And yea, the first commenter is really confusing... it might be different if they said Roses are Red, Shit is Brown. But how could condoms being clear gross you out? It's just latex.

    @huh

    If the title had been "Roses are red, feces are brown," and you raised an objection about it, would you expect me to inquire about the color of yours? Of course not. I see no reason to include this imagery on the front page of the paper.
