Anzen Senshi supposedly translates from Japanese to English as “Safety Warrior.” No idea if this is accurate, but I noticed these robot-themed condoms on Slashdong and I could not rest until I found where to buy them. Now that my primary prophylactic mission is accomplished, I may address my secondary goal of making sure as many people as possible are aware of their options for robot penis wear. Amen to the thought that clearly anyone who thinks otaku get no play are mistaken. Apparently they just don’t use birth control, unless a mecha robot transformer monster tells them to.

Okay, you’ve celebrated Valentines Day and Lupercalia and now you need the opportunity to laugh about both Hallmark love holidays and fertility. You need look no farther than the the online archive of the old BLT punk rock humor zine I mentioned earlier. The Valentine’s Day/Birth Control issue of BLT is taglined Boyfriends, Lesbians, & Truth. My favorite part includes a recount of why horror effects artist Tom Savini should have worked for Planned Parenthood. Other high points include a lesbian stepmom married to a guy with a vasectomy trying to teach his daughter how to use a condom and a quiz to tell if it’s really love or just too many mind-altering substances.
